Day 1:

Draco made his way to breakfast, a sick feeling in the pit of his stomach. Something about what he was about to do pissed him off and hurt. He knew that Harry didn't deserve that sort of treatment. But if he had to make a show in front of his friends, he would. Little did they know, he'd been planning to make the rest of the days much better. If he had to keep who was gifting Harry hidden, he wouldn't have any other gifts delivered during a meal, like most people would be doing. Some would be delivering gifts during breakfast. Others during lunch or dinner. Honestly, Draco was expecting something small, possibly at supper. He would be someone who was hard to gift. He was picky. And honestly, he hoped whoever had him wouldn't try too hard. They'd just embarrass themselves.

Draco walked over to the table with Crabbe and Goyle following him. "So your giftee is getting his gift for breakfast?" Goyle asked with a grin.

"Shut UP." Draco turned to look at him with a glare. "I don't want to hear anymore about this damnable event. I got screwed with it, so honestly, I want to forget about it."

"Your choice." Goyle said.

Crabbe made his way to sit next to Pansy. "Heya Pans." He said with a grin. "Ready for day one?"

"As long as you're not my gifter, then yeah." She said, putting on a disgusted look. She looked at Draco. "Maybe my Dracey-poo got me." She said and pulled him over to sit next to her. Draco rolled his eyes. "Never in our lifetime Pansy. You are probably my least compatible person here."

"Oh, come on Drake. You know we'd make amazingly cute pureblood babies."

Draco rolled his eyes.

A) He did not care about babies.

B) He could not stand the thought of a life with Pansy.

"Sod off Pans. I don't have time for your fantasies." She frowned, but still sat very close to him, which caused him to be very uncomfortable. Unfortunately, Goyle had sat close to him on the other side and so he had no room to move away from her. He ignored it and grabbed a plate and began filling it with his favorite breakfast foods.

His eyes wandered at times to Harry, watching him as he ate and chatted with his friends. He did look back every once in a while to participate in the conversation at his table, but it was always the same. Either about the Gryffindors and what they've done wrong (they always do something wrong in the eyes of a Slytherin) or about the next big party they want to have. Pansy was planning a Christmas celebration for after the event. "I think we'll all need a release after this very Gryffindor celebration." She said with an exasperated sigh. Draco rolled his eyes and continued eating. "Don't you agree Drakey?"

He turned and looked at her. "Eh, I plan on making my end enjoyable."

She got a confused look and frowned. "But Drake..."

"I always get what I want Pansy." He said and looked up when he heard hooting. A few owls were making their way down. One landed in front of Pansy. Another in front of Draco. Harry also had one. So did quite a few students in the other years. Ron and Hermione both didn't have one and looked at each other. Hmm, seemed there was a bit of conflict there.

Harry looked down at the package in his hands and looked almost excited. He unwrapped the package and his face instantly fell. Hermione and Ron both looked at why and they muttered among themselves. Harry stood up and walked out of the Hall. His friends stayed behind. Draco would have to send Harry a note soon, but first he wanted to see what his gifter had gotten him. In case they were watching, he wanted to make sure they knew whether he liked his or not. They at least deserved that. He pulled at the paper and opened it without ripping the paper. He looked at the box as soon as he opened it and frowned slightly. He was slightly nervous that he'd gotten some sort of jewelry on day one. Could his person know him well enough to know what he'd like?

He opened the box and audibly gasped. Pansy looked and her eyes widened. "Wow Malfoy. Whoever got you sure knows you well. Must be a Slytherin."

Draco had to agree. He ran a finger over the silver snake necklace. It's green eyes shone under the candlelight. He was amazed by the beauty of it. He put it on then and there. Hopefully that let whoever gifted him know that he definitely loved his gift. He'd wear it all 12 days and probably well past that. He had a letter to go write though. "I'm gonna go get my other thing sent off you guys. I'll see you guys in a bit in the commons."

Crabbe nodded and turned to Pansy to continue their conversation. Goyle and Blaise were chatting, so he was able to sneak away quite easily. He really didn't need to have the others follow him.

Harry stormed up to his room and lay on his bed. He clutched the chocolate frog in his hand and frowned. How dare he get his hopes up that his person would care to try? He probably had some fourth year who could care less about the event. He just hoped his giftee was not some Slytherin who was going to mess with him throughout the event. He really didn't need that. He lay in bed, thinking. He wasn't about to let this affect who he was gifting. He didn't need to punish Malfoy for some other person's rudeness.

Harry was still lying in bed when an owl started pecking at the window. He frowned and walked over. Upon opening the window the owl dropped a paper at his feet and flew off. He knelt down and picked it up. Was this from his person as well?

He opened the letter and read:

"Harry,

Sorry for the day 1 gift. I have plans for future gifts, but this one had reason behind it. You like them and I know that they can make you smile especially if you do not already have the card."

It wasn't signed, but then again it wouldn't be. Not if they couldn't reveal themselves. Harry sighed and nodded. He'd give the person another chance. It was true that he liked them. Hopefully his day 2 gift would make him happier though. He also hoped Draco liked his gift as well. He hadn't stayed around to view his reaction. He'd already made a fool of himself by getting his hopes up. Then getting the frog.. well, he'd not been able to hide his disappointment. He just hoped he hadn't hurt his gifter's feelings
