Chapter 15

Hello!

So I just like to say sorry this chapter is so short it's a bit of a filler.

The next chapter will be longer and more interesting as it will be New Years Eve!

Who should Hermione kiss? Oooh!

I have some ideas, but I really want to know what you guys want as well. (She could always kiss no-one that was one of my ideas...)

Also Should/Will Draco use his amortentia!

I want to say a very big thankyou to my reviewers you are all wonderful- thankyou for being so supportive:

'Merry Christmas' He murmured, leaning down painfully slow, yet at the fast time too fast And pressed his lips to mine. They were frosty yet searing hot at the same time, The moment was perfect yet wrong. An impossibility. However I couldn't help but melt into him.

Everything was dark. I wiped the tear that was running down my cheek and rolled over in my bed. I looked down at my hand and stared at the moonstone bracelet he had given me, I quickly sat up at began desperately trying to get it off, sliding it around I tried to find the clasp, but all there was was solid silver, I tried pulling it off though my hand, It didn't budge. My tears were falling freely now.

I grabbed my wand muttering different spells, but all of them bounced off. Falling back onto my pillows in defeat I closed my eyes letting my mind wander freely. Draco looked so vulnerable, I couldn't help but reach out to him. He had looked so hurt when I left without a word. The kiss meant nothing, nothing. My mouth was dry from crying. I reached out for my glass on the bedside table.

'aguamenti ' I murmured, lifting the glass to my lips, I drank thoroughly. I'll ignore him. I decided. I need to focus on helping Harry.

-Christmas day-

-Coldroy Manor-

Cassius POV-

I Fixed my tie in the mirror, staring back at myself, I saw scared little boy with dark brown waves , pale skin and refined upper-class features, his large brown- almost black eyes looked perceptive and his lips were formed in a powerful frown. I fidgeted in my spot before telling myself to man-up, I smirked at the mirror. It didn't reach my eyes.

I trotted down the stairs, ignoring the house elf who offered to bring me some breakfast.

I opened the doors to the dining room, expecting to see my father and mother bickering about something over breakfast.

'Where's Father?' I asked my mother who was staring out the window her long brown hair similar to mine was wavy however she had blue eyes.

'Death eater duties.' She muttered emotionlessly staring out the window sipping her tea.

'But its Christmas!' I exclaimed. I didn't particularly care for him but we were a family, I just wanted one day were the war wasn't involved. She finally looked at me,

'I know, Cassius, I know' she said sadly. 'Come sit next to me, We got you a gift' she said tapping a large package on the table.

I turned to leave, not wanting to see anyone. My mood darkening.

'Please' I heard behind me,

I turned to see Mother looking at me with pleading eyes, I knew it wasn't her fault so I hesitantly sat beside her and tried to have a joyful day, thanking her for my new broom – it was the latest edition.

I'm just going to go and make sure everything's ready for the party this evening,' she said patting my head as she left the room. The Coldroys held a very prestigious pureblood Christmas party every year since I was born, and to be honest I was bored of it, the company was dull and mind-numbing, and mother always tried to set me up with some pureblood princess who only knew how to giggle and degrade people.

Speaking of women, I thought back to Hermione, her wild intelligence and feistiness did attract me, and that kiss in the library was ... interesting. I knew she was out-of-bounds because Draco had claimed many of times how she was his which only seemed to make her more desirable. I had to admit that most of my feelings for her sprung from my jealousy of Draco. He had everything! He was voldermort heir, had girls swooning over him, had been passing all his classes and almost has the girl.

No. I'm going to get something this time, friend.

Draco POV

I stood in the astronomy tower staring down into the darkness, I could tell it was freezing cold, but felt nothing. I was numb.

It was almost ironic how just a few minutes ago I was revelling in the feeling of Hermione's lips against mine, she looked so beautifully innocent and the bracelet suited her perfectly, I had got it made at a jewellers and asked for it to be charmed so as soon as it touched her wrist it could never be removed. I smirked inwardly at my little personalised stamp on her.

She left abruptly after the kiss not bothering to look back, and I felt so frozen, I knew she didn't feel how I felt so it was my job to make her.

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE REVIEW! PLEEEEASE!
