Chapter 12: Christmas

12. Draco

A last Saturday (today it's Sunday) was one of the best days of my life (just like the day before) because I spent all Saturday with Hermione, talking and kissing. First of all, she was doing homework (even a Saturday) I snached the book out of her hands and we started to snog. But then, she said it was breakfast time. She got me by the hand and we entered the great hall. Most students looked up and saw us holding hands and we made up an excuse. Who can win Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy together?

When I arrived to the Slytherin table, I sat with Blaise and Goyle. We started talking about how rich I was until Pansy arrived and sat by my side. She started telling her usual stupidities. One gets used to it, I can assure you.

I had nearly all my homework still to do, so I went to the library. I entered it and went to sit at an empty table. But then, I saw the one in the corner, the one Hermione usually goes to and I don't know why but I decided to go there. Then he she came and told me to go. Have I told you that when she gets angry her eyes spark and make her look even better? Well anyway, I didn't want to go, so I started talking and this time she told me to shut up. I defied her to do it and she did. Her lips were on top of mine, and I wanted to kiss her so I tried to deepen the kiss, but she went away. This time she had won, but it would be the last one, I whispered in her ear. We stayed there, together, doing homework (well, I couldn't concentrate much with her by my side)

Next time I saw her, she was bored looking at the cealing of our common room. I told her that we could go outside, and she agreed. We sat on a blaket I had conjured for her and we were in silence until I felt her shiver. I gave her my coat and told her I would not be cold, although I was frezing. But it she was more important. We started a snowball fight and we fell rolling to the floor. Then, while she was on top of me, I started to tremble. She gave me the coat but then I told her to keep it, as a present. To pay it to me, she kissed my cheek shortly.

Today it was Christmas. My father had asked me to go home for Christmas, but I told him I had to study because I had exams coming. I don't think he believes me, but I don't care anymore.

I was waiting for Christmas to arrive. Without changing my clothes, I went down to my common room and looked for my piled presents. It was bigger than the one of Hermione, mostly because I had more admirers than her.

Parkinson had given me a book about love, like every year, Crabbe and Goyle had sent me candy, they know I love it. While I was opening my parents' one, a particular bushy haired girl came down the stairs singing with joy and skipping.

"Hullo, Draco! Merry Christmas!" she kissed my cheek. I got her and kissed her deeply. When we parted we had a broad smile in our faces.

I saw her kneeling down and opening presents enthusiastically but looked strangely at a small box. She left it for the last. So did I with a book shaped present with clear writing that put 'to Draco, from Hermione'.

She kept looking at me nervously. I smirked. She was waiting for me to open her present and she was impatient to know if I would like it. I opened my presents slowly, only to see her panic.

"Open the damn present, Draco!" she said hysterically. I grinned widely.

"I'll leave it for the last one" I teased.

"Oh please Draco!"

"OK. If you open your present, I'll open mine" I said truly.

"Deal" she nodded as she bended and got a small light green box with a dark green ribbon. She undid the ribbon and opened the top slowly. When she saw what was inside, her eyes glowed and she covered her smile with both hands.

"But Draco, this must have cost you a fortune! I… I can't have it!" she putted the lid on top and handed it back to me.

"Don't be ridiculous, Hermione. It's a present, take it" I gave it back to her. She told me again she couldn't have it.

"Hermione listen. This is a present that has passed from generation to generation in my family. I want you to have it. I want you to feel special" I was certainly changing. I was not the same Draco Malfoy I knew. She smiled and looked at the box again, still surprised. She left the box on the floor and hugged me so tightly that made me lie on the floor. She then kissed me as passionate as ever. Wow.

"Here" she handed me the box "you put it on me". She handed me the box. I opened it and took a precious ring from inside. It hand five of the best diamonds in the world in line. It was silver and perfect for her. I got her hand and slid the ring on her finger. As I said before it was perfect. But she still wasn't convinced…

"But your mother…"

"She gave it to me this summer telling me to give it to any girl I wanted, that I was old enough to know. So I give it to you Hermione, its yours forever. Whenever you wear it, it means you still remember me" I smiled weakly thinking of all the problems that could happen.

"But what are you saying, Draco? I will always remember you! Now, as you said and true to your word, you will open my present. But now I feel ashamed, its not as good as yours…. If you don't like it I'll buy you another, okay?" she said timidly. I smirked and I told her that of course I would tell her, no Malfoy gets a stupid present. She just smiled slightly.

I got the present that was wrapped in dark blue paper and unwrapped it. It was an album. The cover was dark green with a moving photo of the day of our first kiss, at the Christmas ball. I opened it and saw that it was all full of photos of our years. Since the first time she saw me until yesterday. Beneath each photo there was a comment, but not an ordinary comment, a comment that she had done, full of remarks and teasing, but love and romance. I smiled broadly. That was the best present that I had been given. It was not materialistic, just with feeling.

"I love it, Hermione" I smiled and hugged her. She still wasn't sure because she asked me: "really?" I answered that of course, a Malfoy never lies.

>>>>>>>>>>>

"Sorry?" Hermione asked.

"Well… not about important things anyways…" Draco said in low voice as she laughed.

>>>>>>>>>>

She told me she wanted to go and see her friends and I let her, and I went to the Slytherin common room.

"muggle-born hate" I spoke the password and Salazar Slytherin told me to come in, that he had been waiting for me because it had been days since I had been there.

"Drakie, my love, merry Christmas" I heard as soon as I entered the room. It was filled with green and silver decorations. Everyone was in the Common room by now. Parkinson came near me and hugged me tightly. I relaxed and let her do. It was Christmas after all.

"Did you like my present, honey?" she asked batting her eyelashes. Her book? Honestly.

"Well…" what should I say? If I said anything cruel to her, she would tell my father and… "Ugh… what's that?" I asked pointing to a heart shaped silver necklace. She blushed deeply. But deeply, deeply deeply, in a way I hadn't seen her blush. A new boyfriend? I asked her. She just excused herself and went upstairs. Weird.

"Hello Drake" Zabini said to me with Crabbe and Goyle. Oh no. It was going to be a hard morning.

12. Hermione

How could he give me that ring? It must be so valious for his family… but that was what I needed to make me realise that he loved me. I was over the moon with joy. And my present looked so insignificant compared to his…. But he had told me he liked it so I was also glad. I went skipping to the Gryffindor common room.

I said the password and entered.

"Merry Christmas 'Mione!" Harry came and hugged me friendly. I told him Merry Christmas too.

Later came Ron who only shacked my hand with his head down. Ginny did the same as Harry.

"Hey, where did you get that ring from? Secret admirer, Herms?" Ginny asked raising an eyebrow.

"Well… I… I don't know. It didn't have any card…" I blushed deeply as Harry looked confused and Ron furious.

"Well, anyway, Merry Christmas to all!" Ginny said noticing the awkward silence between us.

We spent all morning talking, remembering old moments and the new ones. It was good to be back again with them.

"Beverly, time to go to sleep!" her mother said to her.

"Oh no please please please mother! Let me hear how the story ends! It must be finishing now, because you are happy together and loving each other! I'm soooo glad! See, it wasn't that long!" she said refusing to get up. Her parents then laughed.

"But darling this is just the first part of the story! You need to wait to see the next one! Tomorrow night we will explain it all and everything" Malfoy said gently.

"It's not fair!" she said, got up and went away.

"Have you heard what she said? Yes, this story is ending here, but don't panic. Shortly I will do a sequel, because now is when the dark times start for them, the difficult and most complicated and I thought of making it another story. What do you think? Tell me!
