Chapter 4
The term slowly ended, or so it seemed to Harry who wanted to go to Draco's house. But it did end, and he was brought to Malfoy Mansion with Draco by a coach. When they arrived Harry was amazed at the size of the house. He was led into the main entry way and then up to a bedroom.
'Sorry, It's not the best, but it's close to the center of the house so It's not like you're out in the West wing and have to walk half a mile to get to dinner.' Draco remarked. 'Plus, Blaise's room is right down the hall.' Draco grinned.
'It's a great room. Thanks Draco.' Harry said.
The room was large with a big four poster bed in the center with gold and silver covers on it. There was a large desk off to one side, and on the other there was a door that led to a bathroom.
'I want to get some homework done before dinner, so I'll come by to show you where the dinning room is around 5, is that ok?' Draco said as he started to leave.
'Yeah, I should try to get some homework done too.' Harry grinned and turned to unpack as Draco left the room.
Once he was done unpacking he sat down at the desk and started on his Transfiguration homework. Prof. McGonnagal might not be unfair to the Slytherins, but that didn't mean that she didn't assign loads of homework to them. Harry was only halfway through when Draco knocked on his door.
'Oh, god Draco. I lost track of time. Mind if I dress really fast. Stupid Transfiguration homework took forever, and I'm not even done with it!'
'Go ahead, but try to hurry.' Draco said.
Harry quickly changed into a nice robe that Draco had lent him, and then followed Draco down to the dinning room.
House elves were scurrying around, trying to get things ready, but when Draco walked into the room they all stopped and bowed, then continued working even faster.
Harry was directed to a seat at the table, and soon Draco's mother walked in. They all sat down, and the food was brought out. Draco's father did not join them 'for business reasons.' The meal passed nicely and soon Harry was back in his room getting ready to go to sleep.
*****************
The next day was the day before Christmas Eve, so Harry and Draco went to Diagon Alley to shop. Well, the started in Diagon Alley, but were soon in Knockturn alley gazing at shriveled up hands and skulls and such. Eventually, after spending a fortune down there, Harry and Draco returned to Diagon alley and looked for 'girly presents.'
'What do you think of this sweater?' Harry asked Draco, holding up a pink, fuzzy angora sweater.
'Wouldn't you rather see her wearing something...less covering?' Draco said, pointing to some tops and skirt sets and some tight looking robes.
Harry and Draco both bought their items from the store and quickly left.
'I really hate girl clothing shops.' Draco said.
'Let's go back to your house now. That last shop made me dizzy.' Harry replied.
****************
Christmas day cam and so did Pansy and Blaise. Pansy was wearing a tight light purple dress robe, and Blaise was wearing a light pink silk robe. Harry went over to Blaise and kissed her on the hand like Draco had told him to before. She blushed, and they walked into the nearest sitting room to exchange presents.
Draco had gotten Pansy a beautiful earring and necklace set with little diamonds in it. Pansy had gotten Draco a nice silk dress robe. They each gave the other a little kiss on the check, and then watched Harry open his present from Blaise.
It was a book about Quidditch. 'I heard you have never played, but you were really good on your broom during flying class, so I thought you would like this. It's illustrated too.' Harry leaned over and kissed her on the check, just like Draco had to Pansy.
'Here's your present. I hope you like it.' Harry handed her a medium sized rectangular box. Inside was a beautiful set of dress robes. One was light blue, another was navy blue, and the last one was a cream color. 'I thought the colors would look nice with your hair.' Harry said, blushing deeply.
'They are beautiful! 'I'll wear the navy one to dinner tonight.' Blaise leaned over and kissed Harry right on the mouth, but very quickly.
Harry blushed even more, and the room was silent for a few seconds before Draco invited them into the salon for a quick sip of champagne.
************
Dinner was wonderful. Blaise looked beautiful in her new robes, and Pansy wore her new jewelry. Draco's father did not make an appearance, but no one seemed to find that out of place, and the roast pheasant was wonderful enough to make anyone forget about anything.
Blaise sat next to Harry, and Draco sat on the other side, next to Pansy. Draco's mother sat at the head of the table. The meal passed by with pleasant conversation, and afterwards they went back to the living room and had more champagne. Soon Harry was getting quite drunk, and Blaise was showing some signs of that also.
'Draco...Dear buddy, dear pal...pass me some more of that great stuff next to you please.' Harry slurred.
'I think you've had enough.' Draco replied.
'Yeah, Harry. Leave some for the ladies. *hic*' Blaise said, rolling of the couch in a fit of giggles.
'I think it's time for bed.' Draco said. 'We've all had enough fun for the night, and tomorrow is Christmas.'
****************
Harry woke up with a splitting headache. He rolled over and looked at the clock. It proclaimed, in way too bright numbers, that the time was fifteen after ten.
'Shit.' Harry said as he rolled out of bed. 'Bloody Hell, I was supposed to be up over an hour ago.'
He quickly got dressed, and rushed downstairs. Pansy, Blaise and Draco were just finishing up breakfast when Harry walked in. Blaise looked like she knew how Harry was feeling. He sat down next to her and gave her a peck on the check. He really did like her.
'Merry Christmas,' Draco said raising his cup of orange juice.
'Merry Christmas.'
'Merry Christmas.'
'Merry Christmas.'
