Chapter Two
Draco was halfway down the hall and almost to the dark wooden stairs when he realized he forgot something that was the reason he was running in the first place. He turned around and raced back down the hall and skidded back into the circular room he sleeps in. His two best friends were in the process of changing when he came charging into the room. He jumped onto his messy four-poster bed, his ice-blond hair falling into his eyes, he slipped his warm, pale hand under his white pillow and felt around for the box that the ring was lingering in. But he couldn't find it. He lifted his pillow to see if he could spot it but it wasn't there.
"Are you looking for this?" Said a cold, familiar voice behind him. Draco jerked his skinny little body over and saw his two best friends standing right in front of him, and Goyle was holding up a tiny black box that looked familiar.
"Where did you get that?" Draco asked with a shaky voice.
"We found it." Said Crabbe
"Yeah, under your pillow." Grunted Goyle.
"What or who is it for?" They both asked at the same time with smirks on their fat faces.
"None of your business." Draco said as he tries to snatch the little black box out of Goyle's fat hand. But he tumbled off the bed and smacked his little body on the hard, wooden floor.
"No, No, No!" Crabbe teased.
"You have to tell who it is for first!" Goyle laughed.
"Why?" Draco asked as he jumped up and tried to grab the little box again.
"Is it Pansy Parkinson?" Goyle asked with a huge smile on his wicked face.
Draco tried as hard as he could to keep a straight face. Then an idea came to mind. "Yes!" He lied. "It is. I didn't want to tell you guys because she doesn't want anyone to know that she likes me."
"Do you like her?" Crabbe asked.
"What if I do?" Draco said while looking at his sweaty hands, which were hanging in front of him.
"Oh, so you like her too?"
"Yes! Ok! But you can't tell anyone. Don't even ask her about it. She doesn't want anyone to know." Draco lied as he passed the small circular room.
"Ok, Ok! Calm down. We wont say anything." They both stood there with smirks on their fat faces.
"Ok, can I have the ring back now?" Draco asked, as his little white face went pale.
"Yes." Goyle said while holding out the little box for Draco to grab.
"Can we come with you?" They asked at the same time.
"No! If she sees you then I am dead." He yelled. "Stay here, please."
"Ok, but you have to give us details when you get back."
"Whatever." Draco waved his little white hand at them and ran out the door. "That was easy." Draco mumbled under his breath as he ran down the hall and slipped the little box into his dress pants pocket.
Draco jumped down the stairs so fast that his body looked like it didn't even touch a step. He charged through the Slytherin common room, almost running half the people over and slipped out the portrait hole. He knew just where to find his beautiful girlfriend Hermione. She was in the library at the half hidden table next to the restricted section. That is where they always meet when they need to talk of something. Nobody ever goes back there because that is where they keep all the boring schoolbooks.
He slipped into the library and tried to act natural. He went up and down aisles acting like he was looking for a book he was interested in. When he finally made it to the place where he was suppose to meet Hermione, she was nowhere to be seen. He looked at his watch and saw that it was well past nine thirty.
"Where is she?" Draco asked himself. "She was supposed to be here at nine thirty."
Draco sat there for about five more minutes and was about to leave when she came charging in. She was wearing a very short, beautiful reddish silk skirt that flowed with her every body movement. She was also wearing a green spaghetti strap tank top with a jean jacket over that. On her little feet she had big soft, light green snow boots with fluffy white fur around the top.
"There you are sweetie. You look great." Draco sighed as he slowly walked over to her and put his warm arms around her tiny body. "Where were you?"
"Thank you! You look great too. Oh, and Harry and Ron caught me before I even got out of the common room. They wanted to know why I was in such a hurry."
"Did you tell them?"
"No. I just said that I had to go give something to someone."
"Really, I said the same…" Draco stopped. "You have something for me?"
"Yes silly. Wait right there." She giggled as she went back around the bookshelf and came back with a long, skinny package. She handed the package to Draco and stood back, waiting for him to open it. He just stood there holding the package in his cold hands. "Are you going to open it?" Hermione asked with a smile.
"Is this what I think it is." Draco gasped as he gently put the present down trying not to break any part of it.
"Open it!" She said with excitement in her voice. "What are you waiting for? Christmas is already here."
Draco looked at the box again and slowly put his hand on top of it. He ran his cold finger across the thick tape that was holding it together. He then looked back up at Hermione and smiled. He then started franticly tearing the tape off. But when he got to the box, he opened it more slowly. He had an idea of what was inside but he didn't know for sure. He didn't want to break anything or mess it up so he carefully opened the flaps and peeked inside. His big pale gray eyes widened at the item he saw. He was afraid to touch it. What if he broke it? Hermione bought this with her own money and he didn't want that to be wasted.
"You bought this for me?" Draco said as he gently and carefully slid his cold hand into the box. He gripped the item and slowly pulled it out. A brand new Firebolt appeared from the dark, cold box, and it shined in the warm sunlight. "I had a very frightening feeling you bought something like this for me once I laid eyes in that box."
"You don't like it?" Hermione cried.
"Oh, Hermione." Draco gently put the Firebolt down onto the hard wooden table and wrapped his warm eyes around her little body again. "I love it! It's just that I wouldn't expect you to go out and buy me something like this. It's a real surprise. Thank you so much!" He then held her tighter, acting like he didn't want to let her go, ever.
"Oh!" Draco said after a while. He slowly pulled away from her and slipped his hand into his deep pocket and pulled out the little black box. "I got something for you too." He held out the box for her to open.
"Oh my god!" She gasped as she slowly took the box out of Draco's white hands. "You didn't?"
"Open it." He urged.
She slowly wrapped her tiny fingers around the edge and pooped it open. A beautiful sterling silver ring glittered in the warm sunlight. It had a little pink diamond in the shape of a heart sticking out if the top. "Oh, its beautiful." She whispered.
"Look on the inside." Draco said. She turned the ring on its side and looked. Engraved in it said 'Because Of You!' She looked up at him with a confused look in her blushing face.
"What does that mean?" She asked with an interested look on her face.
"I will tell you when the time comes baby." He smiled. "Can I put it on for you?"
"Sure." She giggled. She handed him the tiny ring and he slowly slopped it onto her skinny, little ring finger. "Thank you so much Draco. I love it!" She said while examining the beautiful ring. She then jumped into his warm, loving arms and looked into his big eyes. He slowly moved in closer and kissed her. She shivered at the feeling of his warm, gentle lips over hers.
Moments later, they pulled away from each other and stood there looking into each other eyes. "This is the best Christmas ever." Draco whispered as he held Hermione by her skinny waist. She had her little arms wrapped around his warm neck.
"It is the best Christmas for me too." She said as he let her go. They stood there hand in hand for a couple more moments just looking into each other's eyes before Draco broke the trance.
"So, we missed breakfast. It is about eleven already. Do you want to go to lunch?" Draco asked.
"Sure. Let me go change into something more casual so I don't get this dress dirty. My mum made this for me and I don't want to ruin her hard work."
"Ok, bye." He then kissed her on her chilled cheek and she spun around with her flowing skirt gliding with her body movement as she walked out and around the bookshelf first. They didn't want to be seen walking with each other for it might attract someone's attention. And you never know. That person might be nosy. After about a minute of waiting for her to be far away, he carefully picked up his brand new Firebolt and started walking out of the library. As he got closer to the exit he heard a loud scream, and it sounded familiar. It sounded like Hermione. He charged out the door and looked down the dark cold hall and didn't like what he saw.
