Chapter seven
My Princess,
I must say, are you jealous much my child? I found your last letter very amusing. I do believe that you might have feelings other than hatred toward Draco.
Now what is this ogling that you speak of? Are you saying that Draco likes you and you slapped him because of it? Now Princess, you are very intelligent and I would like you to use your brain and think about that question. Now of course you right, you are not his to stare at or smirk at, oh, no, you are just his future wife. I am going to let you ponder that statement for a moment.
Why won't you tell Draco why you slapped him? The boy does have a right to know. Of course, maybe you are not telling him because it would seem stupid because the reason you have is not a valid reason at all. I also believe that you are jealous because of the muggle girl possibly taking what you already consider yours, after all you did call Draco your 'future husband' you and I both know that if you do not want a marriage to happen it won't. Now as for a Christmas gift, try something not so deadly. Why not give him something that you will not regret giving him, like a journal or a watch.
I love you Princess. Happy Christmas, Uncle Severus
P.S. Do stop calling me Uncle Sevie, it is not very becoming.
Tasha read her Uncle's letter and although she should have been furious at him for saying that she was jealous and that she cared about Draco, she was not. A smile crept onto Tasha's face as she thought of the gift that she had gotten Draco, 'he is going to love it,' she thought happily.
Dear Draco,
As your Professor and mentor, I would have no problem helping you. This might be a situation where is might become very difficult for me not to poison your food or hex you into the next century.
Now with that said, onto my comments. My niece is, how shall I put this, stubborn when she wants to be. I have heard of the past that you two share and I must say I do not blame her for welcoming this sudden change in you with open arms. You have to admit it is strange to have the boy that ridiculed her all of a sudden want her. Of course, it is not that big of a deal, Oh, no, just having the boy that hated her just turn around one day and start staring at her like there was no one else in the world. Laughable concept really, now think about it Draco.
As to your questions about women and their moods, I do not have the slightest idea. My advice just roll with the punches, take blame is necessary. If you do not like that advice ask your Father, I am sure he will have something to say on the matter.
Now Draco, do be careful around princess, she does not take things lightly. If I were you, I would avoid flirt with other girls when in her presence. It might sound crazy but just do it for her. Are you sure you do not have any other feelings for princess, apart from hatred, after all you do think she is adorable.
A Christmas gift should not be hard to find at all. Tasha is easy enough to buy for. Anything that surprises her will make her happy. Jewelry or maybe if you just took her out one night, that would be enough for her. Just do not get her something stupid. You will regret it for the rest of your life.
Happy Christmas, Professor Snape
Draco read the letter and cringed at the thought of being hex into next century by his professor. Than Draco realized something 'maybe princess wants me, and she wrote about it to professor and he knows.' For the first time in recent history, a large smile crept onto Draco's face, as he thought 'Christmas is not going to be so bad after all.'
Dear Uncle Sevie,
How could you even think that for a brief moment that I could be … jealous…when it comes to Malfoy? I am flabbergasted at the thought! As for caring about him. Oh, I care about him all right; I care about him enough to buy front row tickets to his execution. I would never care for someone like him; he always has to have the last word. Draco is also arrogant and believes that he is a God, with his piercing blue-grey eyes, blond hair, broad shoulders and muscular body. He also believes that he is Merlin's gift to witches everywhere! He is not by the way. There is someone much better; I just have not met such a person yet.
Now Uncle Sevie, are you telling me that you are so old you do not know what ogling is. Well in case you do not know what it is, I am going to tell you. Ogling is when an annoying git cough cough Draco cough cough stares at you and drools while he thinks of all the things he wants to do to your body. Thus making the person who is being ogled feel dirty.
Maybe I did not have a valid reason to slap Malfoy but he should not stare at me. There that should be reason enough I did have a good reason at the time, it was... it was because I am not… no that was not my reason… hang on I will remember it…it was because...no that was not it either… oh I know it was because I do not like him and he does not like me. Yes, that is the reason, and it is a good reason if you ask me, very valid indeed.
Well you will be pleased to hear I did not buy Draco something I would regret giving him for Christmas. I got him this black leather journal with a silver emblem of a Dragon on the cover. It was hand crafted. You might think that it was not a good gift but he has a place for his thoughts now and he will not have to ogle me to death.
Now he gave me a gift too. It was book, or so I thought at first. When I opened it I wanted to scream and hit him again, but I did not. Instead I took the book out of the box and read the title How to mask your jealously by some muggle. What kind of gift is that? Who in their right mind buys their fiancé a book about how to mask her jealously? However, it was not a book. Soon the book opened and inside was this beautiful diamond pendant in the shape of a sleeping dragon. It was so beautiful and so simple. The necklace was charmed to place itself around my neck once the book was opened. It was perfect, if Draco was a likable person I would have fallen in love instantly.
Well I am tired and am going to go to bed now, good night Uncle Sevie, Natasha.
Professor Snape read princess' letter and amused by the fact that she is in love with Draco and completely clueless to it, he decided to wait and read Draco's letter for a while. 'After all if he did not feel the same way, well the plan would be ruined,' he thought.
