Just One Kiss Beneath The Mistletoe




Tomorrow was Christmas! Time sure flied when you were having fun! ~/Oh that was lame. HA! Yeah right... I miss Draco.... Ok now *that* sounded lame!/~ Two days had gone by since Draco and Harry had gotten caught under the mistletoe. They hadn't been able to see each other but maybe once, because of classes; which were now canceled; due to Christmas being so close, but even then it had only been a short amount of time before they were interrupted.


After Fred and George had gotten over the initial shock, 3 times, (both fainted once more) they returned to teasing and pulling pranks on Ron, Hermione, and Harry, but now they had a subject to base it upon; Draco. They would waltz back and forth across the common room shouting Oh Draco! My Love! Please come back to me! I *Need* you! Oh Darling won't you ever come home to me? which would turn Harry's face a color to rival Ron's hair. Luckily enough most everyone had gone home on Monday, so the only people who knew were obviously; Harry, Ron, Hermioine, Fred, and George. There were also Neville, Seamus, and Dean, who had decided to stay for the holidays and a few first and second years, who had no idea what they were talking about. Amazingly enough the two who were taking it the best were Hermione and Neville. They would often go off into a corner and laugh and joke about how obvious it used to be and talk about so many sorts of *other* things.


~/Well at least I get to see him tonight./~ Thought Harry silently. ~/Hmm... I wonder if he'll like his present?/~ suddenly a vision of a small stuffed dragon danced into Harry's thoughts. He smiled remembering when he first saw it at Hogsmeade. It had been the day of the snowball fight, Draco had gone to dry off and Harry had decided to take a trip down to the village. It was sitting in one of the windows; its gleaming scales had caught his eye; in the sun light they gave off a rainbow of colors. It had been asleep when Harry had bought it, so it had suprised him when it suddenly started to move around in the bag he was carrying it back in.


After the dragon had been let out of the bag it took a liking to Harry and rested itself atop his head. Harry had laughed the entire way back to the castle while trying to balance the mystic creature.


It was now probably asleep on Harry's bed snuggled deep within the pillows. Ron had freaked when he saw it; he had thought it was a giant spider that was officially resting into the messy crop of hair on Harry's head. Harry laughed at the memory of Ron grabbing a book off his bed and trying to swipe it off. Luckily enough for Harry it had been a light book, so when it had fallen on his head, after the Dragon had flown to the top of Harry's four poster, it hadn't hurt. It had taken him two hours to convince Ron and the dragon that nothing was going to harm them. Dra, he had named it, for more obvious reasons.


Your turn. said Ron


said Harry turning his attention back to the chess game at hand.



~*~


As Harry thought about what move to make, Ron's attention was elsewhere. There in the corner, on a small couch near the fireplace that was now roaring, sat Hermione and Neville chatting away. Giggling and laughing they seemed content among themselves.


Ron could feel his face heat up as Herm cracked a joke and Neville's face broke into a large grin.

~/This is not happening to me! Argh! I mean I don't like Hermione!/~ (HAHA Ron can be so dense sometimes!)


Harry yelled.


he asked snapping back to the game.


Ron! I have been calling you for the last 5 minutes! Its your turn! He exaggerated, it had really only been about 4 and a half minutes. I mean your almost as bad as me....... Harry's face lit up. Oh My God!


Ron asked once more.


You have a crush on Nev!! Harry hissed.



He screamed, What are you *talking* about!? he screamed, gaining the attention of everyone in the common room. Harry suddenly grabbed Ron's robe and pulled him toward the dormitories, once in their own he shoved Ron onto his bed and sat across from him, on his own.


What do you mean I like Nev??!!! He's a guy!


Draco's a guy.


Eugh, please Harry not now. Harry laughed and continued.


I mean think about it, every time you see Herm and Nev together your face heats up!



So?! What if I like *Hermione*!?


But you *don't*! Honestly Ron! *Think* about it! said Harry as he stalked out of the room.



As Harry was leaving Ron stopped all other trains of thought and took Harry's advice. Herm.... she was nice... and erm smart... she was also becoming very pretty, a lot of guys liked her now. Nev.... he was..... kind and clumsy... but in a cute way... ~/CUTE?/~.... he had grown over the years... he had lost all his baby fat and had gotten taller... no where near Ron though... and he had a really winning smile... He was almost always happy now... except for in potions, but who was happy then any ways?... He had highlighted some of his hair and had found a style that suited his new apperence *well*.... and his eyes... they were a warm honey... always so open and inviting... they really were beautiful eyes. ~/Oh my God..../~


~*~


yelled Ron as he ran back into the common room. Can I talk to you a minute? he asked quietly.


Sure Ron. he smirked.


As they made their way back up to the dormitories Neville gave Hermione a confused look. What do you think they are going to talk about? he asked her.


I think Ron just figured out his who his one true love' is! she laughed. Neville blushed and turned his gaze to his lap where his hands rested.



~*~


Yes Ron? Harry asked politely.


Oh stop already! You know your right.... you're almost *always* right..... he mumbled.


So? What are you going to do?


W-What do you mean what am I going to do?!


W-What meant was, w-what are you going to say to Nev? Harry mocked him.


Ron scowled. I don't know what your talking about... he probably doesn't even feel the same way!


But he does!!


How would you know?


He told Herm and she told me.


Well how come you didn't tell me??!!!


We wanted you to figure it out on your own.


But.... What if he doesn't like me any more....? He has been spending a lot of time with


cried Ron as Harry reached over and smacked him upside the head. What was that for??!


Think about it! He talks to Mione cause she.... knows about these things... she knows how to handle them... she not just smart when it comes to books Ron! he said exasperated.








So What?


What are you going to tell Neville? he repeated.


Well ... I obviously can't just go up to him and say Hey Nev I think I might be in love with you.'



And why not? Asked a quiet voice from the door. 'Cause I know I am in love with you....



said Ron at the sight of Neville leaning against the door frame.


I think I'll leave you two alone for awhile.... Harry trailed off realizing that neither boy was paying attention to him anymore... they were both now too absorbed in each other to notice.


Harry smiled as he closed the door. Well that is two down one to go.... who does she like any ways? I mean Seamus and Dean will be easy... who knows they might already be together.... I know Fred and George have *something*... I am afraid to find out what but Herm.... she will be much harder to figure out....


Did you say something? asked Seamus pulling a blushing Dean along behind him.


Erm.. no....


Ok, well were going to take a shower! Dean's blush increased.


I wouldn't go in there if I were you.... to late...


Harry peered inside to see what would happen. Hi guys called Seamus to a snogging Neville and Ron on Ron's bed. Bye guys! called Dean letting Seamus drag him into the bathroom.


Harry closed the door once more. Well... that definitely crosses off Seamus and Dean. He laughed and headed back down the stairs.





Well what, Hermione?


Ron and Neville.....


He just smiled at her. she shouted. They took longer then you guys... and you had a harder situation!


What about you Hermione?


she questioned.


Yup you... who do you like?


Oh.. no one special... she laughed nervously.


Ok ok... I get the hint... What about Fred and George, are they.....?


Fred and George? Oh yeah... they have been for awhile. Harry smiled again.


called one of the second years. There is an owl here for you.


he said grabbing the scroll.


Harry,


Met me out in front of the lake tonight at 11:30. I have a present for you.

Love,
Draco.


~*~
