Anonymously Charming

            I feel horrible.  I feel asleep last night worrying about Ginny.  When I was in my room I heard her crying.  I got so mad at myself.  I made her cry.  I felt so horrible at the thought that she was crying because of me. I felt a little better when I woke up because I heard her playing music.  Even though I am supposed to hate all Muggle things I don't.  I like listening to Cd's.  I like all the newest bands and the number one song of the week.  I also have a laptop.  It's pretty cool.  I don't use it is public.  Just in my room where my eyes are the only ones that see it.  Because I would hate to face the wrath of my father if word got around that I used a Muggle thing.  I keep it locked up in my truck when I am at home.  I put two very complicated spells on it but its nothing my father couldn't undo if he really wanted too.  I pray he doesn't suddenly have an interest on what is in there one day.  He is like a Dementor.  He greedily snatches up all of the laughter in the house unless its laughter at other people.  He has to be the BEST!  Malfoys are always the best.  Anything less is unacceptable.             

            Anyways, it's Christmas Eve.  It's also 10:00 in the morning.  God, everyone sleeps so late on vacation.  I might as well get up now.  All I can do is hope for the best and pray that Ginny is not too mad at me. 

* * * * * * * *

            I kind of calmed down this morning.  Listening to music always calms me.  Another Muggle thing that I fell in love with, I mean, it's not like we don't have music in its just that we don't have Cd's. 

I was so confused and miserable.  Last night I totally forgot about the telescope.  Man I am still bewildered.  Malfoy- is like a puzzle.  You finally fit two pieces together, but it just doesn't make sense.  And then you start to think if they should really be together.  Well, enough about him.  It's Christmas Eve and I am planning to enjoy it, despite what has happened all ready.  I am planning to spend the day with Katie in the Common Room all comfortable, telling stories and just enjoying the good times of Slytherin because I would hate to look back on this and think that it was such a horrible time and have all the rumors become true. 

I think Slytherin is just misunderstood and behind its tall walls and cold exterior there is a warmness that can't compare to anything in the Gryffindor Tower.  It's a warmness all its own and it's just able to relate to everyone leaving no one untouched and no one left out.  Because believe it or not, there are many lonely Gryffindors like me that just wish someone would be waiting for them in the common room.   They are wishing that they had friends and would be recognized as an individual instead of shadow that no one will shine light on. 

The Great Feast will be as good as every other year I am sure.  I might as well get up; it's already 10:00.  Most of the morning is gone anyway.  I got up and shut my CD player off.  I pulled on a pair of faded jeans, a light, yellow top, and I put my on my favorite sweater.  It was white and had sparkly, blue snowflakes on it.  Right in the middle is says Snow Angel with a silver hallo on the A.  It was a present from Jill.  Since today people were allowed to go to Hogsmede for last minute shopping, I didn't think that anyone would be in the Slytherin Common Room.  When I opened my door, so did Malfoy's.  He stepped out and my jaw almost dropped.  He was wearing black pants that fit him perfectly.  He had on black boots that went half way to his knee.  He was also wearing a black shirt that had silver snakes running down the sleeves.  On the front of the shirt it said in silver writing Beware of the. . . with dots.  I wanted to know what it said, but when I finally looked at his face I saw him staring at me the exact same way.  Then he snapped his eyes back up to my face.  He smiled a real smile.  Then, he walked down the stair and pulled on his silver cloak.  He looked gorgeous!  But, before he pulled on the cloak I saw the word Dragon.  Beware of the Dragon.  That is so like him.  It made him even more mysterious.  I better find Katie. 

I went down the stairs and saw her reading a book.  Thank god she didn't see what just happened.  Although I just can't stop smiling!  I love his smile.  Katie looked up, "Hey, sleepy head!"  I yawned and plopped down on the couch across from wear she was sitting. 

"Morning," I said.  "So, what do you want to do today?" 

"Well, it's not very early, but why don't you, Jill and I go shopping and see if we can catch any Christmas sales?" 

"Sounds good to me!"  So I went to the Gryffindor Common Room to fetch Jillian.  We met Katie at the Entrance.  "Let's go!"  And we did.  We didn't get back until 4:00.  

* * * * * * * *

            We had two hours until the feast.   We went shopping, got some lunch, and had a really good time!  Jillian and Katie clicked!  I am really happy they became friends because they both mean so much to me.   We went into my room and listened to music until we had to make our way to the Great Hall. 

* * * * * * * *

            I spent the whole day finding what I was looking for, but I found it.  I hope she likes it.  While I was buying it I tried to convince myself that I was only buying it because I felt sorry for her.  But I just couldn't come to terms with that excuse.  Because that's all it was.  An excuse for what I was doing, how I felt.  I kept telling myself that once I gave it to her we wouldn't be friends.  It was just a sorry gift for my actions.  But, wait, I thought Malfoys were never sorry.  Ohh!  I can't do this.  Look!  I can't even lie to myself.  What am I going to do if my father asks me about Ginny?  Someone could just tell him and I would be done for.   I better get to the Great Hall.  It's almost dinner time.  I just have to keep telling myself that I just don't care… I don't care how she looks or that she is crying over what I did.  I don't care that she wants to be my friend.  I don't care that she is beautiful or that I am just lying to myself.  I can handle a couple of lies.  I don't care.  Period.                   

* * * * * * * * *

            I entered the Great Hall.  It was decorated beautifully!  Red and green ribbons were strung together all over the place.  It's funny how in real life those colors, hate each other.  Red: Gryffindor, Green: Slytherin.  Maybe that will change someday. 

            Anyway, I sat down and ate my fill.  There was every kind of food you could imagine!  Before dinner was over Dumbledore wished everyone a Merry Christmas and awarded Gryffindor and Slytherin 20 points each because Ginny was the only one to make a friend.  Pansy, I bet, is failing horribly.  I don't know why Dumbledore picked her.  Ravenclaw and Hufflepuff weren't doing very well either.  I haven't a clue why. 

            I entered the common room and sat down on the couch.  Ginny and Katie sat down on the couch facing me.  They were talking and laughing about stories.  Ginny's laugh was so beautiful.  Then, Ginny asked me, "Has anything funny ever happened to you?"  I looked at her a moment . . . searching my brain.  I wanted to make her laugh.  Well, nothing funny has ever happened in the Malfoy Manor.  Then I thought about school.  Finally I recalled something semi funny that happened to me.  It will have to do. 

            "Actually, yes.  I was in Muggle Studies one year and we were learning Math.  The problem was multiplication and had nothing to do with money.  But, I had no idea how to do since I wasn't paying attention.  So, I said the first thing that came to mind.  A nickel."  I looked up at them.  They started cracking up.  So, until late that night we swapped stories.  It was really nice. 

Katie said she was tired and left.  Ginny said she was tired too and I walked with her up our stairs.  Before she went into her room she said, "That was fun, Malfoy."  I nodded and headed into my room.  I was really nervous about the gift.  I hope she likes it.  I didn't fall asleep until 1.00 in the morning.  Sleep conquered my worries and I was out before a second thought.  Maybe I really do care after all. 

* * * * * * * *

            I woke up before the sun.  It was only 6:30 in the morning, but I knew it was Christmas Eve and I couldn't wait.  I smiled at the load of presents on the foot of my bed.  I opened a soft wrinkly package.  I new it was the famous Weasley sweater.  And sure enough as I opened it, I pulled out a baby-blue shirt with a white W.  I opened a box of my mom's homemade fudge chocolate.  I opened a heavy box and inside was a book from Jillian and Kate.  The book was the sky's the limit.  It was about astronomy.  I have been saving money for it.  I have to thank them for it.  I opened my present from Ron and Percy.  It was the Cd Michelle Branch.  I really wanted that!  Fred and George gave me a new candy to try but I didn't.  I don't need to be turned into a canary thank you very much.  Bill and Charlie gave me colored pens.  I looked down on my pile of gifts that were left.  Only three.  One was from Harry.  He bought me a journal with snowflakes on it.  I really needed that.  The second one was from Hermione.  She gave me a bookmark and a gift certificate to any book store.  I was surprised she bought me anything at all. 

            The last gift was small. It looked like a Jewelry box, but from who?  Everyone that I new already gave me a gift.  I opened the box and my mouth hit the floor.  It was a silver charm bracelet.   It had nine charms.  There was a small silver broom that had the word chaser written on it.  There was a wand that shot silver and green sparks into the air.  There was a quill with little ruby stones in it.  There was a piece of parchment folded neatly under it.  On the parchment was the word poems.  It was small but I cold read it perfectly.  Next, there was a snowflake that when it hit the light it looked rainbow.  When I took a closer look I realized that was because it had tiny opals on it.  Each one remarkably different but had the same beautiful shine.  There was also a G with gold outline and diamonds in it.  There was also a silver moon with a little fairy perched on the edge. 

            Now, when I looked at this one, my jaw almost dropped again.  It was a castle.  Small and silver.  It had Hogwarts on a banner.  It was very delicately carved.  It had four towers.   One for Slytherin, Gryffindor, Hufflepuff, and Ravenclaw.  When you press the small door, you saw Dumbledore, sitting there waiting for you to come in.  The windows kept changing form black to yellow as if tiny people were really living within the castle walls.  And right on the side of the castle, you saw the enchanted forest.  There was a white almost, silver unicorn standing with sapphire eyes.  It was so beautiful.  The most graphic charm I have ever seen.  The last charm was of a small dragon.  It was silver with small, emerald, mischievous eyes.  The whole thing was beautiful.  This charm bracelet must have cost a fortune.  I looked around for a card and I found one.  It said:

                        Dear Ginny,

I am so sorry for acting the way I did.  I didn't mean to hurt or scare you.  I hope you can forgive me because I value our (hopefully) friendship.  It means so much to me.

Sincerely,

       The

Then it had a picture of a dragon.

Who would send me such of gift?  My eyes opened widely.  Realization hit me like a ton of bricks. . . and it hurt!
