My Christmas Wish

Author's Note - Hi everybody. I was listening to the Christmas station and I absolutely love this Christmas song. Every time it comes on I sing along. It's so sad but beautiful, don't you think? Well enjoy the story. The song got me into the Christmas spirit. Not like I already was in one. It turns on full fledged the day after Thanksgiving : ) Oh, and by the way, I'm not sure if this is right but I think there's a Head Boy and Girl from each House. If I'm wrong, sorry. You'll see a reference to it later in our ficlet.
Merry Christmas!
Disclaimer - The song is called "Merry Christmas, Darling" by The Carpenters. The story is by the brilliant J.K. Rowling and I am not trying to steal credit for Harry Potter.

I waited quietly as the woman who was wrapping my gifts rattled on and on about all the presents she still had to buy for her children and grandchildren and nieces and nephews..
I was in Hogsmeade buying Harry a Christmas present. I was in going to be with my parents this Christmas but I was still going to send him a Christmas present. After all, he is my boyfriend.
That's right, my boyfriend. God I am so proud of him. I love him to death. We have been going out since our 6th year and now we were both in our 7th year getting ready for graduation. He had asked me out on November 19th last year, and I'll never regret saying yes.
Harry's like the boyfriend in every girl's dreams. He's protective, romantic, sweet, wonderful.. Oh God I could go on and on but I wouldn't want to bore you. He knows when to give me my space and when to speak up. He says the sweetest things and he's forever surprising me with a flower or a kiss. We've gone pretty far, kissing wise, but he understands that I don't want to have sex yet and he respects that. What more could a girl ask for?
I was getting Harry series of books on the history of Qudditch and Broomsticks. Every last fact about Qudditch was in there. He was in there too, as the youngest Seeker for Hogwarts. Even though I wouldn't be there with him I was going to leave this with him before I left. He was going to the Burrow.
The woman was finished and I wished her a Happy Christmas and I went on my way. I met Ginny at Three Broomsticks, who had already saved us two seats at a table.
"Hello Ginny." I said loudly over the roar of laughter and talk.
"Hello. What's that you have there?" She asked.
I huddled near her and managed to speak in a softer tone. "It's Harry's present. I got him a small series on the history of Qudditch."
Ginny nodded. "He'll love that."
"What did you get Draco?" I asked.
Her and Draco had found a surprising love for one another. Sort of like a Romeo and Juliet type of thing. The Weasleys were hard to accept this, but they were learning to like Draco. Draco had stopped teasing Ron, Harry and I at Ginny's request and he accepted. Draco was so head-over-heels in love with her; he would do anything.
Ginny blushed and shyly said, "A quill set. The feathers are green."
"What a thoughtful gift!" I commented. She blushed furiously.
We sipped our butterbeers talking about Christmas vacation and what we had gotten our friends when Ron and Harry sauntered over.
Harry slid in next to me, while Ron slid in next to Ginny. "Hello Ladies," Ron announced.
Harry shot him a dirty look and whispered in my ear, "More like Hello MY Lady." I giggled and he slipped his arm around my waist.
We chatted for a bit and Ron spotted a girl in Ravenclaw in his year that he'd been flirting with for a bit and Ron walked away. Then Draco called Ginny over and Harry and me were left with each other.
I laid my head on his shoulder and whispered in his ear, "I'm going to miss you."
"Me too." Harry whispered back.
We sat there like that and finished our butterbeers. Harry threw a couple galleons on the table and caught us a carriage going back. This trip included several kisses, which I all enjoyed.

The next day dawned bright and early for me. I took a shower and packed the remaining of my things that needed to be packed and lugged my suitcase down the Head Girl Dormitory stairs. Each Head Girl from every House had their own room. Harry appeared at the bottom of the Head Boy Dormitory stairs and took my suitcase from me.
"Honestly Harry, I was doing fine on my own." I said. Like it would do any good.
Harry gave me a look and grabbed his own suitcase and we walked out of the portrait.
"Have a nice holiday, Mary Anne!"
"Oh, you too dear!" Mary Anne called back.
"Come on, this way." Harry said.
"Harry, where are we going?"
"You'll see. Somewhere private to exchange our gifts."
Harry led me to bottom of the Divination Tower. We sat down on the steps and exchanged our gifts.
"You first." I said firmly.
Harry smiled and ripped open his gift like a little boy. His eyes widened when he saw what he received.
"Wow, Mione, Thanks! This is awesome!" He exclaimed
"You're welcome, honey." He leaned over and gave me a quick kiss on my lips.
"Your turn." He said, putting his gift down.
I tore off the wrapping paper carefully and it was a rectangular blue velvet box.
"Oh, Harry." I breathed.
"Open it up." He urged.
I opened up the cover and it snapped into place. Lying in the box was two gold H's intertwined with one another.
"Harry..where did you find something like this?" I said softly.
"I got it personally done for you. However, my lips are sealed to where it was done."
"Well I surely hope your lips aren't sealed for this," I said and leaned in and kissed him softly on the lips.
"Thank you." Harry said jokingly when they were done.
"Oh, you're very welcome. Shall you escort me to the Great Hall?"
"Yes ma'am." Harry said and held out his arm. They put away their gifts first (mine went around my neck) and Harry escorted me down towards the Great Hall
*
The trip towards Platform 9 and ¾ was a solemn one. Harry and Ron played Wizard's Chess. Ginny was with Draco, and I was reading my book but my eyes kept drifting off the page and towards Harry's face, studying him concentrating on the next move to make.
"Pawn to E6." Harry announced and the pawn moved forward and knocked out one of Ron's men. Ron frowned and planned his next move. Meanwhile, Harry turned to me. His fingers traced my necklace that lay on my chest proudly. His lips snuck in a kiss as Ron said loudly, "Bishop to B4!"
Harry groaned against my lips as he turned around to see one of his men being carried off.
"The price you have to pay, mate, for snogging in front of me." Ron said with a grin.
Harry put on a fake smile and took out one of Ron's men and wiped out the grin on Ron's face.
"That's what you get for taking one of my men for snogging. Now please excuse me while I snog some more." Harry laughed at the look on Ron's face and turned to me and kissed me.
*
We all stepped onto the platform as I felt the tears beginning to form behind my eyes. Harry set down my suitcase next to me and I could tell he had the same look in his eyes too.
"Oh Harry, I'm going to miss you." I said tearfully.
"It's only a week or so. We'll be back after the New Year. Together. Besides, you can show off your new necklace then too." He said, grabbing my hands.
"I love you." I mumbled into his ear as I hugged him tightly. I felt his arms around my waist and his whisper in my ear, "I love you too."
I drew back and kissed him long. "I better go now. I'm not good at good- byes. So, goodbye." I picked up my suitcase and walked towards the barrier and Harry grabbed my arm and kissed me briefly one more time as he headed for a different barrier to take him out.
Author's Note - This is going to be longer than I expected. One more chapter and I'll be done. Stay tuned!
P.S. The lyrics will come next chapter. They apply more then.
