A/N: Ok, as promised here's part two of the chapter
A beautiful silver looking- though with Draco it was probably white gold or platinum bracelet looked back up at her. Taking it out of the box, Mia tried to remember to breathe again, but was stopped short as a dangling little charm caught her eye. Ofcourse, it was a charm bracelet. For a second there she'd thought the box had been something else. How stupid. Putting her attention back onto the bracelet, the dark-haired girl smiled. There was only one charm on it, but t the price it must have cost, thinking there would be more was just wishful thinking. The charm in question was a tiny dragon, about the size of her fingernail, though the detailing on it as amazing.
"Touch it" Draco instructed, speaking finally. Hesitantly, Mia reached out to pet the dragon, almost dropping the bracelet as its wings moved and a small wisp of smoke left its mouth.
"That's amazing" she whispered, unclasping the chain and positioning it around her left wrist. "Could you?" She asked, smiling as he did it up one handed.
It fit perfectly, with the little charm dangling down.
"Do you like it?" the blonde asked after several seconds, still keeping his hand over hers. The nervousness was still there in his voice, though he was trying to cover it now. "Because if not, I'll sell it". To answer that, Mia clutched her hand to her chest, keeping a tight hold of it.
"Mine" she said childishly, before lowering her arm and grinning. "I love it, thank you". The smile Draco gave to that was even more beautiful than the bracelet though, his electric blue eyes shining for several seconds, before covering them with heavy black lashes and getting up off the bed to finish getting dressed.
Leaning across her bed, Mia gingerly picked up the twins present from the floor. It still felt the same as before, and no noise could be heard from it. Hopefully that meant it wasn't an animal… or a bomb. Frowning at the prospect, the third year began to unwrap it, revealing a box. It was atleast double the size of what Draco's had been- speaking of, the blonde had moved to the opposite side of the room and was half crouched behind a cupboard, his wand out.
"What are you expecting to happen?" she questioned, raising an eyebrow. "Something that's charmed to attack you will jump out?" Draco looked at her, his face now seeming completely serious.
"Yes". Rolling her eyes, the younger girl pulled the lid of the box, revealing… Another box. Her eyebrows knitted together in confusion at that, and she reached in to take that top off. The only draw back was that yet another box was underneath. Oh, she could see where this was- or rather not going. Scowling, the younger girl sat for ten minutes unloading boxes, and only stopped when Draco's comment about missing breakfast if they didn't leave now caught her attention.
Sighing, she put the boxes reasonably neatly in a pile and grabbed her robe, before heading out the door infront of the blonde.
Several people wished her a happy birthday as they walked up to the great hall, though many were more interested in Draco's arm, which according to him, he could've lost. Who knew? Resisting the urge to set all of the girls that were cooing over the 'injured' Slytherin right, Mia paused as she entered the great-hall. The ceiling was currently enchanted to look like the morning sky outside, a pale blue with several fluffy looking clouds, though the raven-haired girl barely had chance to notice.
Three redheaded Gryffindor's and about a dozen others from her year and Ginny's were all beckoning her over. Considering two of them were Fred and George, nothing good could come of this. Then again, she had a bone to pick with them about the boxes that were now cluttering her room. Before she could open her mouth however, the entire group burst into a rendition of 'Happy Birthday; which managed to draw the attention of the rest of the hall. Turning a bright shade of pink and desperately wishing an invisibility spell would come to mind, the mortified third year rushed over to a spare seat beside Ginny, attempting to shush them all before the twins could break out 'for she's a jolly good fellow'.
"Happy Birthday!" Ginny repeated, hugging her friend the second she'd sat down, then thrusting a present under her nose. Shrugging off the feeling of being watched, Mia opened the pink wrapped present, which currently matched her face, a smile appearing on her features as she saw the C.D of the wicked sisters she'd been given.
"Thankyou" she said, moving it to one side to hug her once more. Looking around however, a frown took over. Something was suddenly missing. No, someone. Someones.
"Where have your brothers gone?" The little redhead seemed just as confused at that, as she too began to search for them. After several seconds though, she pointed at two redheads that seemed to be trying to escape. Standing up, the Slytherin jumped over the bench seat to catch the backs of theirs collars.
"Do you want to explain the boxes that have taken up residence in my room?" She questioned, letting go of them and folding her arms. To answer, both smiled guiltily, before shrugging.
"We thought Malfoy would try to open it" Fred started, again with the last name!
"And he'd be there for hours with the boxes" George this time, continued.
"So, you'd catch him in the act," Fred.
"And jinx him into oblivion" George finished, though both suddenly looked very happy with themselves at their master plan.
Before Mia could open her mouth to tell them what they could do with the boxes though, Fred pulled out a present from his robe and handed it over.
"If this is boxes-" she warned, beginning to unwrap it. Luckily it wasn't. well, just one box. But inside was an assortment of strange looking sweets.
"They're prototypes mainly, tested on first years so should be safe."
"Give them to people you don't like, the green ones we call puking pasties" Mia wrinkled her nose at the name slightly, making a mental note not to eat any of them.
"And make sure the pink ones only go to people you like, they have love potions inside. Don't worry, we wrote down instructions for each one" She gave a small nod, placing the lid back ontop and half-wishing she'd just accepted the boxes. Atleast they weren't potentially lethal.
"Thank you. I think" The raven-haired girl smiled anyway, placing the box down on the table and boxing over to sit beside Ginny again.
