But he smiled even harder when Cass looked away as they continued to walk down the corridor together. She wouldn't give up on him. Maybe someday.... he and Cass would be more than friends; when the time was right of course.
As they continued walking, Christopher began to wonder where they were going. He wasn't sure if he was walking Cass back to the entrance of her common room, or if they were going to the Great Hall, or if they were going to the library, or what. He figured he'd just let Cass lead the way, because he was honestly to happy and relieved to care.
Cass stuffed her gloved hands inside the pockets of her coat and walked alongside Christopher, too immersed in her own thoughts as well. Then she stopped and broke the blank stare that she had been giving the ground since they started walking.
She turned towards the boy next to her and said, panic written all over her face,
"I forgot to give you your Christmas present!" It was already January, she couldn't believe she forgot!
She looked down at her satchel and started digging through a few boxes of presents that she forgot to give out before she left for Christmas break. She was starting to look like Santa Clause...delivering presents to her friends. Except she wasn't fat. No way.
