Author's Notes : HUH! Finally, I'm back to writing again. I've been
busy with my summer vacation and that's the very
reason why I wasn't able to right for some time but
I'm glad that I'm back. This is my 7th chapter. By the
way I want to thank all my readers and detractors as
well. Happy Reading
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~The Black Box~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Earlier Hermione and Ron left Hogwarts. Hermione decided to spend her vacation with her family and they went to Spain. Ron also went with his parents to visit his older brother Charlie.
Ginny decided not to go with them primarily because she understood that her family is not rich and can't afford to tug the whole family to Charlie's place.
Harry also stayed because his Uncle Sirius had gone to Romania to do some business and he won't be able to come back to London and spend the holidays with Harry. One thing more, Ron requested Harry to look after Ginny while he is away.
Draco also decided to spend Christmas in school because he doesn't want to see his father.
Few students were left at Hogwarts and they were permitted to do what ever they want since it Christmas Eve.
Harry locked himself at his room and he was practicing how to approach the girl he had always wanted.

It was quarter past ten in Draco's watch and so he decided to leave the castle. He was handling a black box.
He sat near the lake and waited for Melisma to come. After a few minutes, he heard footsteps and he was pretty sure that it was her.
"Melisma?! Can you hear me?"
"Yes!"
Her soft voice melted his heart and that moment he was so excited to give her the black box.
"Melisma, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" her voice was full of innocence.
"uhmmm. . . uhmmm. . . I . . . I. . ."
Melisma laughed and Draco felt more nervous.
"Why are you laughing?" He asked.
"Sorry! I can't help it. I mean, why can't you tell it to me?! It's not hard because you can't see me."
Draco pondered for a few seconds and,
"Can I see you?"
Melisma's heart beat was tripled. She didn't know what to say.
"Ravel, look. It's not that I don't want to see you, it's just that I don't think I'm prepared for this."
Draco felt sad but he also thought that maybe she is not yet prepared. He wasn't even sure if he's also ready for this.
"You don't have to worry. . . maybe this isn't the right time but I'm sure it will come. Am I right Melisma?"
"Yes! And I hope you understand."
"I do! By the way I have something for you. I'll just leave it here. I have to go."
Draco stood up and placed the black box near the oak tree. As he was about to leave,
"Ravel, wait. . ."
"Why, is there any problem?"
"None! I. . . I . . . I just want to thank you for the gift."
"Oh. . . Welcome!"
"I also have something for you. . . I placed it at the right corner of the Transfiguration room. I don't know what to give you. I only hope that you would like my present."
Draco smiled and said " I will like and love anything as long as it comes from you. . ."
She heard him walk away and she went to get his gift for her. She opened the black box and saw another black box which has a little button. She also saw a piece of parchment so she unrolled and read it.
Melisma,
It hadn't been that long since we first knew each other. But it seems to me that I've known you for the longest time ever. I love music so much and I thank it for bringing you close to me. You have no idea how happy I am to have known you. You have no idea how happy I am to have spent time with you. I hope you will like my present.
Happy Christmas!
Ravel
Melisma was touched that tears of joy rolled out of her eyes. She pressed the little button and much to her surprise she heard the voice of Ravel.
He had recorded his voice and he was singing the song that he composed for her.
Full of gladness, Melisma returned to the castle with huge smile on her face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In the Transfiguration Room, Draco held Melisma's Gift for him. He unwrapped the gift and saw a beautiful miniature guitar. Along with it is a letter which says,
Ravel,
Thank you so much for everything! Isn't that music made a way that we may now each other. I'm pretty sure that one of these days music will also a find a way that we may see each other face to face. Music will find the right time and that right time is sure to come.
Happy Christmas!
Melisma
Draco closed his eyes and whispered
"Thank you Melisma. . . Thank you!"

It was quarter to twelve and Ginny can't sleep. Suddenly she heard a knock on the door.
"Who is it?"
"Ginny, it's me. Harry!"
Ginny felt nervous. She felt glad. She didn't actually know what to feel. It was Harry and it was the love of her life.
She arranged herself and went to open the door.
"I think you are already sleeping. Did I awake you?"
Of course he didn't and even if he did, she doesn't care. She wouldn't care if she won't sleep the whole night for as long as it's for Harry.
"Uhhh . . . No! I mean . . . Actually I can't sleep."
"Why? Is there anything wrong? Are you sick?"
"NO! no! C'mon, get inside."
They sat beside each other and there was a moment of silence. Ginny broke the silence and asked him,
"Why are you here?"
"I want to give you something. I'm not sure if you will like it but I hope you will."
"You know very much that I appreciate everything."
"Yeah but . . ."
Harry handed her the gift.
"Open it!"
Ginny opened it and saw a silver necklace with a sapphire pendant. She was speechless. She didn't know what to say.
"Did you like it?"
"Harry, this is expensive. I don't think I deserve this."
"Ginny, look at me!"
They faced each other and Ginny looked at his deep brown eyes. She felt like fainting.
"Harry. . ."
"Ginny, this is not yet enough! You deserve what I'm giving you. Trust me!"
Harry helped her and put the necklace on her. He hugged her,
"Ginny, thank so much! Happy Christmas!"
They pulled back and stood up. Ginny led Harry near the door and before leaving Harry kissed her on the cheek.
Ginny shut the door close and stood there, frozen. She couldn't believe it. She couldn't believe everything, from the knock up to the kiss. But one thing is for sure it was her merriest Christmas Eve ever.
~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~
The next day Harry was awakened by the noise of the students that were opening their presents.
He noticed that there was a glass tube in his study desk and beside it is a small box wrapped in blue paper.
He took the piece of parchment from the tube and
Harry,
I want to thank you for the surprise last night. I was very much touched by your present. I also prepared something for you. It may not be as expensive as the necklace that you gave me but rest assured, It came from my heart.
Thank you so much for everything that you've given and done for me.
Happy Christmas!
Ginny
Harry opened the box and saw a black necklace with a golden snitch- like pendant. Engraved in the pendant was his name.
Harry smiled and said "Huh! Ginny, you really know how to make my day."
He dressed up and joined the rest of the Gryffindors in the Common Room.

Christmas is over so came New Year. It was Ginny's most awaited time. New Year always meant hope for her and it also signals that her birthday is near.
As a resolution, Ginny promised herself that never again will she let anybody hurt her. She got specific and vowed to herself that never again will Malfoy be able to hurt her.
After New Year, the students came back to Hogwarts. Once again, Harry and Hermione talked about their love lives. Harry was so glad to know that Ron Gave Hermione a necklace as a Christmas gift because Ron once told him that if he would feel love for a girl he would give her a necklace. Hermione, on the other hand wasn't glad to know that the ring which they bough in Hogsmeade is still in Harry's possession which means that he still hadn't found the courage to approach the girl he loves.
The sixth of January came and passed. Examinations were over and because of the extra time that was given to the students, nobody flunked. ~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~
Ginny was walking in the corridors when she accidentally bumped into Draco. Their things had fallen on the floor and that signaled another fight.
"You really want to get hurt huh Weasley!"
"Only Idiot like you would think that a person would want to get hurt!"
Draco was surprised at the new Ginny he was talking to.
"I see. . . You've changed Redhead!"
"Thanks to you, Idiot!"
"My pleasure."
Draco took out his wand and pointed it on Ginny. Ginny did exactly as her opponent did.
"Look Weasley, if you think you are good enough you are definitely wrong."
"We'll see Malfoy. . . We'll see!"
After a few seconds both shouted
"Expeliarmus!"
They were both disarmed. As they were about to reach for their wands, Professor McGonagall came.
"What made the two of you think that you have the right to hurt each other? Ten points from each of you ad I want you to come to my office at seven o'clock."
"Come to your office?" Draco asked
"Yes Mr. Malfoy, for a detention."
Professor McGonagall left. They picked up their things and before leaving Ginny slapped Draco.
"You know what Malfoy, you are good a t one thing. Only one thing. And that's ruining my life."
Ginny left the shocked Draco. Draco couldn't believe it. He couldn't accept that Ginny was actually able to slap him.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~0~~~~~~~~~~~~
Ginny and Draco came out of the castle as Professor McGonagall directed them. They were told to seek for Rainbow leaves. It only grows at night and dies a soon as sunlight hits them.
They have been collecting Rainbow leaves for half an hour. Ginny felt a little bored so she started singing.
"I can't see you, but I can hear you
I can't see you, but I can feel you
I can't see you, but it's like I've known you before
Your voice is the light in darkness
Your voice is the beauty in strain
Your voice is the strength in weakness
Your voice is the joy in pain
And your voice, your voice
Your voice lives in my heart. . ."
Draco stopped and stood silently until,
"What do you think you're doing?"
"Pardon Malfoy, you are asking me what I'm doing? The heck you care!"
Draco repeated his question,
"What do you think you're doing?"
"I don't know if you don't have brains, you don't know what music is or you are deaf. . . Isn't it very obvious, I'm singing !"
"Where did you learn that song?" Nervousness was eating him.
Ginny spitted out the truth and said
"From Ravel. . . "
Draco knew it that very moment. It can't be. . .
"You knew it from Ravel?"
"Yes!"
"You are. . . You are. . . M. . . Me. . . Melisma?"
