Visiting Dumbledore and Christmas Presents
Harry woke Cora up early.
"Shh, everyone else is asleep," he said softly.
"Eh, good morning," she said getting up.
"Good morning, beautiful," he said.
"Is that a song? Why are we up so early?" she said.
"Because we need to see Dumbledore and before everyone gets up," he told her, grabbing her hand. "Come on."
The two of them walked out of the tower and down to Dumbledore's office. Cora said the password and the statue moved so that Harry and she could get on the stairs to ride up to his office. Harry knocked on the door and Dumbledore allowed them to come in. He was sitting at his desk and looked surprised to see them.
"Harry and Cora, nice to see you two this early," he smiled.
"Erm yes, well I sort of need to tell you something," Cora said.
"Hmm?"
"Well, erm, my father showed up yesterday," she started.
"How did he show up?"
"Well, sir, as it turns out, he's an Antimagus and can turn into an owl. He came with a letter and well here it is," she said holding it out to him, and he took it. "And he warned me to stay away from Harry and he said he won't be alone next time he comes."
"I see, well that means one thing. You two must not leave the grounds what so ever. I want you here in this castle except for your class with Hagrid. I do not want you down to see him at all," he said.
"Professor, if I may, I've battled Voldemort and I'm sure she will be safe with me," Harry said.
"Yes, Harry, you are strong, but I strongly advise you that you must obey me. Now that Voldemort is more powerful, I want to keep you closer now," he stated.
The two of them nodded.
"Is there anything else?" he asked.
"Me and Harry are engaged... just kidding," Cora said laughing.
"Ah, Miss Defrance, just like your mother to make a serious moment into a joke," he said with a smile.
They left Dumbledore's office a moment later.
"We're engaged. Ha. Only you make jokes to Dumbledore, only you," he said laughing.
"Hey people need to lighten up these days, Voldy isn't going to ruin my day," she replied.
Back in the common room, few people were awake ready to leave for their homes for Christmas. It was Christmas Eve. Harry and Cora were sitting on the couch talking, when Ron showed up out of no where.
"Did you guys hear?" he asked.
"Hear what?" Cora asked.
"A Muggle family was murdered last night," he told them showing them the Daily Prophet.
"By who?"
"Some guy in a mask, they guess. He's tall and has black hair with emerald green eyes," Ron read from the paper.
"Emerald green eyes?" Cora stuttered.
"Yes, they say, who would look that closely at some random killer. I mean they never saw the guy right?" He said.
"My...father," she said softly.
"What?" Harry asked her.
"I um, need to go see something," she said.
Cora ran up to her room. She jumped on her bed and began to sob. She couldn't believe that her father was killing people now. Her daddy, who had taught her magic since she could talk, was killing people. Harry came up to comfort her. No one else was in the room anymore but her and him. He came right up and hugged her tight. She cried onto his shoulder. She felt so secure in his arms like he would protect her.
"Cora, it's okay, really it's okay," he said rubbing her back.
"You... you... you... don't have... a dad... killing... people..." she sobbed.
"That's because I don't have a dad. Please stop crying, you'll make me cry," he said actually tearing up.
"I'm sorry Harry," she hiccupped.
"I'd do anything so that you'd never get sad," he said.
"Really?" she said looking up at him.
"Yeah," he said kissing her forehead.
"Oh, I look like shit don't I?" she said.
"Yeah but, I still love you," he told her.
"Shut up."
She looked up at him and kissed him. She pulled away and began to unbutton the top of her white blouse. Harry pushed her hands away and began to for her. She put her hands on his chest and started to unbutton the top of his pajamas. He laid her down softly and began to kiss her. She pushed him away and pulled the curtains on her bed closed. She went back to kissing him. He was kissing down her neck and onto her bare chest.
"Oh, Harry," she said in soft ecstasy.
He looked up at her and smiled. She pushed him off.
"What?" he asked.
"It's my turn," she smiled.
He cocked an eyebrow. He lay on his back and she straddled him. She began to kiss him and down onto his stomach. He let out a slight moan of pleasure and that's where she stopped. She got off him and started putting her shirt back on. He got up and looked at her.
"What's that about?" he asked.
"Well, you can't have all of me right now," she winked.
"Wait, what?" he said coming over to put his arms around her waist.
"You'll see," she smiled and walked out of the room.
Harry followed and went across to change into normal clothes. They went down to the common room, holding hands. Few heads turned and smiled.
"No, we didn't do anything," he told them all.

Christmas Eve dinner was sort of lonely. No one was there except for few students who weren't going home during the holidays. Cora and Harry sat together with Ron. Draco was at his own table with Crabbe and Goyle. He smiled at her a couple of times.
The students trudged up to their rooms. Ron, Harry, and Cora sat together by the fire for a bit.
"I'm the only one staying here for Christmas in my dormitory," she sighed.
"All alone, huh?" Ron said looking at Harry.
"Yeah."
"Oh well, at least you have anyone keeping you awake," he said.
"Right, of course. I wouldn't want anyone to keep me awake," she smiled.
"What do you think my mum sent me this year?" Ron asked.
"Probably another sweater," Harry told him.
"Yeah, too bad I can't be with her. Remember last year with Sir..." Ron started before stopping suddenly.
Harry's deep blue eyes got glossy and he looked away.
"Oh Harry, I'm sorry, really," Ron said.
"It's fine," he said.
Cora looked around confused. She got up.
"Well I'm going to my room, see you lot in the morning," she said before leaning down to kiss Harry on the cheek. "Meet me in my dormitory, later."
He smiled a bit and gave a nod. Cora went up to her room that was empty. She undid her shirt and took off her skirt. She unpinned her hair and put on her robe. It seemed to take forever until there was a faint knock on the door. She went to get it and there stood Harry. She pulled him in and closed the door. She locked it behind her.
"What did you want?" he whispered.
"As if you don't know."
"What?"
She smiled and cocked her eyebrow. She pushed him onto her bed and he sat. She stood in front of him and undid her robe. He stared wide eyed at her body.
"Merry Christmas, Harry Potter," she told him.
Harry woke Cora up early.
"Shh, everyone else is asleep," he said softly.
"Eh, good morning," she said getting up.
