Chapter 9: Christmas part 2
Christmas eve Snape and Draco both slept on the back porch. They had gone out to talk about what they were doing tomorrow when Kim locked the door, unfortunatley neither one of them had their wands. The next morning Kim woke up and went down to the kitchens. " So how did you two finally get back in?" Kim asked smiling.
"I remembered at five this morning there was a key under the door mat. We could have died Kim! We could have frozen to death!" Snape yelled.
"In all fairness you were warned to run. Plus you wouldn't have died, eventually you would have saw that the glass door was unlocked before I went to bed, and your wands were tapped under your chairs." Kim said going outside and pulling the wands out.
"You mean we stayed out there for nothing!" Draco yelled at Snape. "I thought you said you checked the door about five times!"
"I did, before she went to bed." Snape yelled back drinking another cup of coffee.
"Well I suggest you two get ready we will be leaving for the burrow in two hours." While wakling upstairs they could hear Kim's exasperated voice say, "men I swear." before heading into their bedrooms. When they arrived back downstairs Kim was already dressed and ready to go.
"So are we taking all the presetns there or are we going ot open ours here?" Snape asked, he didn't want to mess up the Christmas Nazi's plan.
"We are takign their presents there and opening ours here." Kim explained before flooing to the Burrow. "Happy Christmas everyone." Kim said stepping out of the fire.
"Happy Christmas Kim. So did the plan work?" Molly asked, Kim shook her head yes while the guys appeared in the room.
"I should have known you'd have something to do with that." Snape said sitting down on the couch.
"Happy Christmas to you too!" Molly said sarcastically. "And to you Draco."
"Thanks Mrs. Weasley. Happy Christmas everyone." Draco stood by Kim.
"Is there anything I can help you with?" Kim asked.
"You can stay out of my way while I cook by passing presents out." Molly said going back into the kitchen. Kim and Draco handed everyone their presents. Once they were all opened Draco turned to Kim.
"I know you wanted to wait until later to open family presents but I couldn't wait. Here." Draco handed Kim a small box. Kim was shocked, she opened it quickly to find a golden Claddagh ring. Kim's face fell slightly but she put a smile on and placed the fing on her finger with the heart pointing towards her. Throughout dinner Kim kept her mask up. She loved the ring, she really did, and she didn't want Draco to think otherwise but she was thinking the ring was something else. Something also the liens of an engagement ring. During desert Draco turned to Kim again.
"I almost forgot I watned to give this to you also." Draco pulled out a bigger box this time. 'Oh great a necklace.' Kim thought. She slowly pulled the gift wrapping off and opened the box inside was a gold band with a single 1karat dimond in the middle of it. "I was afraid to give this to you at first bcause I didn't know exactly how you felt about me, but when I saw the look on your face after the first ring I knew what was on your mind. Kim will you marry me?" Draco asked taking the ring and getting on bended knee.
Kim couldn't speak, she was amazed at everything. All she could do was nod her head adn smile. Once the ring was placed on her finger she bent down and kissed Draco. "Thank you." She whispered before kissing him again and helping him to his feet.
"Congrats you two. Can I see your ring?" Ginny asked down at the other end of the long table. Kim got up and walked down to show everybody. After desert Kim, Snape, and Draco made their way home.
"Congrats you two. I'll open my present tomorrow since I'm too tired to do anything but sleep." Snape said going up the stairs.
"Here Dray I wanted you to have these." Kim handed him 2 boxes. The small box contained an almost identical Claddagh ring and was signed the Christmas Nazi. The other presetn was a complete collection of all of William Shakespere's works even stories and plays that were never beofre published. Kim knew Draco loved Shakespere even if he didn't go around bragging about it.
"Kim this must have cost a fortune." Draco said looking through the book.
"Not as much as you mean to me. I"m glad you like it." Kim went and sat by Draco.
"I don't like it." Draco said looking at her.
"You don't?" Kim started to feel bad.
"No, I love it!" He said kissing her. After they finished opening presents they both went to bed.
