Your P.O.V.
The day everyone had to go home for Christmas Break, I woke to several feet of snow outside my window. The lake was frozen solid, and saw some people skating on it before departure. You walk into the Great Hall to find Draco waving you over. You decide it doesn't matter if you sit at the Slytherin table. It's either that or sotting at the Hufflepuff table alone. A few Slytherins gave you a nasty look.
"I do feel sorry," Draco said, looking towards Potter's way, "for all those people who have to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas because they aren't wanted at home."
Harry glanced over here with a hurt look on his face. You feel slightly ashamed and hurt yourself, so you just stare at your shoes.
"Aw, Care Bear, what's the matter?" Malfoy questions."
"First off, you have to be nice. We have talked about this." You say, still not meeting his eyes. "And Cedric and I almost had to stay here because my mom...let's just say we rarely see her, and because my dad has to work. But, my dad said Cedric is old enough to take care of both of us. So, I almost had to stay here."
He sees how that hurt you, and says, "I'm sorry Delilah."
"You can make up for your mistake, if you take me ice skating." you say.
He gives you a confused look.
"I've never gone, and I really want to." You say defensively.
"Of course I'll take you." he says with a smile. "I'll meet you there at 1:00."
You get ready and borrow some of Susan's skates that she left here. They were slightly big, but they would work for now. You meet Malfoy at the lake, all bundled up. He helps you stand up, and you start to skate. This isnt has hard as I thought. You can feel yourself falling, but Malfoy catches you. You look up and into his eyes.
Draco's P.O.V.
"That was close! Thanks!" she says with her eyes shining.
She starts to get the hang of it, but she still is slightly clumsy. She almost falls again, but grabs hold of my hand. I see relief in her eyes, but then she realizes she and I are holding hands. I feel something warm and fuzzy in my chest, and my heart rate speeds up.
"Heh, sorry." She says awkwardly. "But is it okay if I hold your hand? I need to practice balancing a little bit more, as you can tell."
"S-sure." I say.
I feel this warm fuzzy feeling slowly start to spread, and I have butterflies in my stomach, if that's what people call this feeling. In the middle of my thoughts, I see her smiling slightly.
Third Person P.O.V.
You and Malfoy skate and laugh for another hour, and everytime each of you looks into each other's eyes, you both seem to glow with happiness.
Over Christmas break, each of you owl each other's presents, and keep in touch over letters. He gets you a beautiful locket, with a picture of him in it. You shake your head thinking that sweet boy is so full of himself.
I hoped you like it!
I always love feedback, and I'm so sorry for any mistakes.
Thank you!
