I do not own Harry Potter, because my name is not J.K. Rowling.
I also do not own Althea Mirna. She is property of Bonexyz.

Chapter Fourteen:

"Pack." Cilwenu muttered, waving her wand and watching her belongings throw themselves into her suitcase.

She was going to spend her Christmas with Draco, which had ultimately been decided shortly after the dance. Just how she had gotten through to her father about it, was something Cilwenu was not going to complain about. If he was going to let her stay with him for those few days, then so be it.

Eagerness filled Cilwenu's lungs as she hoisted her bag up, and lugged it to the dormitory door.

Millicent was studying in her book, oblivious to all around her. Cilwenu smiled small at her, before exiting and spotting Draco in the common room.

It would take a little bit for him to actually tolerate her friends, she knew that, but, he was still willing to do so just to make her happy. He'd admitted that he'd made a mistake, and it was ultimately good enough for her, for the time being. As long as she had her Draco back, things would fall into place, she would feel better.

So she hoped.

"Are you sure he is going to be good this time?" Hermione asked Cilwenu as they stood by the steaming train.

Cilwenu looked back at Draco, who was saying his goodbyes to Blaise and Pansy. She smiled at Hermione, "He promised me he would try. That's the best he's done in a while."

"It's good to see the lights back in your eyes, Cilwenu… Who knew that Malfoy was actually capable of caring for someone… even if he had to hurt you to realize it."

Cilwenu hugged Hermione one last time, "Tell the boys I will see them when we return. Draco will be waiting for me."

Hermione looked as if she would cry. Her nose was as red as her scarf, and her smile was large enough to break her face into two pieces. They hugged one last time, before Cilwenu turned on her heel and went to search for her boyfriend.

"Wenny! Wait!" a voice from behind her called out.

Cilwenu heard the horn of the train sound, and the last call for students was announced. She stopped anyways, and felt the tiny hands of her best friend grasp her jacket.

Althea was out of breath, and in tears, "You were going to go to Draco without telling me good-bye?"

"Oh, bugger Thea… Please don't cry."

"You better write over the break, or I'm going to Stupefy you until you lose your head." the blonde girl warned.

Cilwenu laughed, and kissed her cheek, "You'll hear from me, I promise."

"Cilwenu, hurry."

"I have to go… I'll see you after Christmas, Althea. I promise."

Cilwenu waved at her friends, before skipping off in Draco's direction. He wrapped his arm around her tightly as they both, simultaneously walked into the train compartment. The doors shut with a slam, and the train moved onwards back to the station where Draco and Cilwenu would be greeted by the Malfoy family.

Cilwenu stared out of the window, her eyes heavy, and her hand interlaced with another. She was back where she belonged.

With Draco Malfoy.

PREVIEW FOR Cilwenu Snape: Malfoy Manor (christmas one-shot)

Cilwenu Eileen Snape, fourteen, stepped out onto the cobblestone path that led to the gate of Malfoy Manor. The wrought-iron gate was only permitted to allow certain people through, which, upon her first time arriving back in the summer of her Third Year, Cilwenu had not quite been able to pass through. Only by that of Narcissa's word, had Cilwenu been granted entrance.

Elegantly designed, the yard of Malfoy Manor was vast, with a rather large fountain placed specifically in the very middle, where the path broke into two, curving around the fountain just so. Roving peacocks, albino, spread out along the yard, leading ultimately into the back, where there were several gardens that looked extravagant. The place was absolutely breath taking. She had never seen any house come nearly as amazing as Draco's.

She stared up at the gate, though, with wide eyes, not remembering to be that big the last time she had been there. Through the bars, both Draco and Cilwenu passed as if it were made of smoke. Cilwenu took one last look back at the bars… It amazed her to no end.

Draco Lucius Malfoy, who was also fourteen, stepped out behind of Cilwenu and placed his hand on her hip perfectly. He coaxed Cilwenu to walk down that path, and whispered in her ear the reassurance that would only tide her over until she came face to face with his mother.

Narcissa Malfoy.

"My aunt, Bellatrix will be staying with us as well. My mother is letting her bunk in the guest room," Draco told Cilwenu. The reassurance left faster than she thought it would have.

Cilwenu felt the breath stop in her lungs. She had been told a great deal about Bellatrix. The woman, to put it simply, was rather mad.

That, being the understatement.

"Where will I be sleeping?" Cilwenu asked Draco then. She looked up at his profile, when he smirked only a little.

Note: So there is your little taste of what is gonna take place with Cilwenu and Draco over their christmas break. I will finish it soon, promise. NOW BACK TO THIS STORY :D please reviewMuch Love,
