Chapter 16: Christmas Present
Draco looked up and saw Ariel standing next to him. "Hello Draco," she purred. Draco growled. "Get away from me," he hissed. Slowly he looked around. "Where's Kris?" "Last time I saw her, she was heading to Jaci's backyard." "And that would be?" Ariel pointed to a door. The only reason he believed her was because it was a door that he could see through. He quickly walked outside. "Kristie?" "Hmm?" he heard her say. "What's wrong?" he asked once he'd seen her. "Why did you come on out here for?" "No reason," she answered looking away. Draco moved up behind her, and put his arms around her. She moved away, slightly. He looked at her curiously, and then tried to kiss her. She backed away from him. "Kristie, what's wrong?" "Nothing," she said standing up, and trying to walk away. Draco caught her arm. "Kris, don't lie to me." Kristie glared at him, and pointed into the house. "You want to go see more of Jaci. She's in there, now just leave me alone!" Draco looked at her confused. "Why would I go see Jaci, when I have you here with me?" Kristie scoffed. "Oh sure, you have me. That's why you ran off to see Jaci when I took your cape just now." Suddenly Draco started laughing. Kristie glared at him. "Are you laughing at me?" Draco nodded. He quickly regretted laughing at her, because he saw anger flash in her eyes. He couldn't stop though. Soon she was so angry, her eyes were starting to get watery. Suddenly Kristie turned on her heel and began walking away. Draco moved out and grabbed her arm. She jerked away, and glared at him. "Wait," he said, still smiling. "Don't you even want to know why?" "No, not really," she said. Suddenly she looked up at him curiously. "Why?" Draco grinned. "Because you're jealous. I did not go see Jaci, I went to see Snape," Draco said as he took a tentative step towards her. Then, when she didn't move away, he wrapped his arms around her. "Do you know how rare it is to see your cold, mean, stingy teacher feeding someone else?" Kristie smiled, then giggled. Draco gently kissed her. "Come on, introduce me to your family." Kristie smiled. "You asked for it."
Severus was surprised when he saw Draco Malfoy walking through the backdoor. Draco grinned broadly at him. "Hello, Mr. Snape," Draco said knowingly smirking at him. Severus glared. "Mr. Malfoy, what a shock to see you here." Severus glanced at Kristie, who smiled. "But I guess I can understand why you are here." "Ah, Draco how nice to see you again," Juan said, walking in. Draco smiled before they shook hands. "Hello, Mr. Leza. I hope you are well." "Thank you, Draco I am fine. I take it you know Kristie, Jaci and Severus." "Yes, I do know them." Juan smiled. Then he noticed that Draco and Kristie were holding hands. He frowned. "What is this?" he asked pointing to their hands. Draco smiled "Well, Mr. Leza, Kristie is my girlfriend. I asked her today as a matter of fact." Juan looked at him shocked. He could have sworn Draco liked Jaci. "Well, good for you two. Isn't' that wonderful, daddy?" Jaci said. Juan smiled. "Yes, great news. Later I shall take you and Severus to meet the whole family."
Jaci sighed. It was 11:50. She looked over at Kristie and Draco, smiling. Severus then returned with a coke bottle. "Are you tired?" he asked her settling down next to her on the floor. Jaci smiled and shook her head. "In my family we stay up until 12, so we can open presents from family members. Then we go to bed and on Christmas morning, we open the presents from Saint Nick." Severus smiled. He put his arms around her shoulders and sighed deeply. "Did you have a good time with the men, Severus?" Jaci mumbled. He smiled. "Yes, and no questions about Mexico or anything else that you mentioned popped up." Jaci laughed as she took the bottle from him and took a sip. "I just thought they would." "Sure you did," he said. Severus leaned over and gently kissed her.
"Draco?" Kristie asked, much later that night. "Yes Kris?" "Did you have a good time tonight?" she asked cautiously. She knew her family could be very pushy about boyfriends, and they tended to get really protective. Draco smiled. He looked around. Most of the family was still seated at the table. The kids were all seated around the Christmas tree, Severus and Jaci close to them, propped against the wall close together. He put his arm on Kristie's waist, and pulled her closer. "You got a great family. They're so nice and friendly. I feel like I'm at home." He gasped, and looked up suddenly. "Home!" Quickly he stood up and picked Kristie up with him. She looked at him curiously. "What's wrong?" "I.I didn't tell my parents where I was going, I just sort of left." Kristie smiled. She walked over to her mom and spoke with her. Then Linda nodded. Kristie walked back to the closet and took her Gryffindor cape and Draco's Slytherin cape. She walked to Draco and handed him his cape, then dragged him to the chimney. She took a handful of Floo powder, and pushed Draco in with her, saying. "Malfoy Manor!" She threw the powder down, and they were engulfed in green flames. "Lucius, Lucius, he's here!" Narcissa yelled. Lucius ran from his study and went down to the chimney. "Draco Malfoy!" he started. Then he noticed that there was someone else with him, a girl. He smiled. "Yes father?" "Who is this?" "Kristie, meet my father, Lucius Malfoy, and my mother Narcissa Malfoy. Father, mother, this is my girlfriend, Kristie Marie Madrigal." Kristie shook hands with Mrs. Malfoy, and Mr. Malfoy kissed her hand. "Your girlfriend, Draco?" Lucius asked. Draco smiled as he put his arm around Kristie. "Yes father. I'm sorry I wasn't here for dinner. I-" "Don't worry about that Draco," Lucius said, looking down at Kristie with a warm smile. "I can understand. Come Narcissa, we shall retire. Draco I shall see you in the morning. Good night Miss Madrigal." Lucius bowed out of the room, with Narcissa ahead of him. Kristie smiled. "They are very nice," she said. Draco nodded. He pulled her closer to him and nuzzled her hair. "Yes they are. Do you wish to stay here, or shall we go?" Kristie looked up at him. "I don't know Draco. Whatever you want." "Kristie, if we did what I wanted-" He let his voice trail off, leaving a rather curious Kristie behind. "Continue," she said. Draco's cheeks turned a light pinck, and he shook his head. "I'll show you around," he said. He took her hand and led her down to the west wing. "Where are your parents?" "Oh, they stay in the south wing, up the stairs." "Wow, this place is so huge, Draco." He nodded. Taking her hand, Draco continued to lead her into the wing. "Where's your room Draco?" she asked eyeing the marble staircase. "Uh.in the north wing. I've got half a wing to myself." Kristie turned to look at him and smiled. Then Draco led her back to the living room. "Listen, Kris, I want you to go back home. It's Christmas Eve, and you should be with your family." Kristie smiled again, and shook her head. "No, Draco. Tonight I want to be with you." Draco looked at her. She took his hands and placed them around her waist. "What.what do you mean by that?" "You know perfectly well what I mean." Draco groaned as she brought him closer. "Kris, are you sure?" Kristie smirked. With that Draco picked her up. She squealed at the sudden movement, and he was carrying her up to his room. He set her down on the bed gently, and ran to lock the door, even if there was no need since they didn't have a house elf anymore. He didn't care, no one was going to disturb him and Kris.
Draco looked up and saw Ariel standing next to him. "Hello Draco," she purred. Draco growled. "Get away from me," he hissed. Slowly he looked around. "Where's Kris?"
