Hogwarts RPG Name: Sylvannas Quickspeed Sixth | Chapter 17 Draco woke up the next morning alone and cold. He sat in bed for a few minutes. What was the point of getting up? There's no one to say happy christmas to, no one to share this special day with.
Just then, his stomach growled. Hm, perhaps there's something to get up for anyway. He pulled on his robe and made his way downstairs. The Christmas tree sat in the middle of the room, glistening with white sparkles that looked like snow. On the floor in front of it was a rather large package marked Draco Malfoy. He looked at it, puzzled. Surely he did not buy anything for himself?
Draco went over and looked at the tag. Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer,
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of year
This is my favorite time of year too.....look in the kitchen.
Draco cocked his head and sniffed the air. There was a smell....like...bacon? He rushed to the kitchen. Hermione was there in a teal robe, setting a plate of bacon next to a heaping pile of pancakes. Eggs and toast sat on other plates, and in front of the space marked Draco, there was a large mug of steaming hot coffee.
"Hermione....." He whispered.
"Happy Christmas Draco." Hermione said quietly. "I want you to know that I love you very much, and I'm never going to leave you again."
"That makes me very happy." Draco whispered again, and pulled her towards him. Music began to creep from the corners of the house, and they began to dance. Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Let your heart be light
From now on,
our troubles will be out of sight
Have yourself a merry little Christmas,
Make the Yule-tide gay,
From now on,
our troubles will be miles away.
Here we are as in olden days,
Happy golden days of yore.
Faithful friends who are dear to us
Gather near to us once more.
Through the years
We all will be together,
If the Fates allow
Hang a shining star upon the highest bough.
And have yourself A merry little Christmas now.
"I've got a star to hang." Hermione said to him after they were finished. Draco looked around. She took it out of the pocket of her robe. It was a rather small box, shaped like a Christmas Star. "Open it."
Draco took it and opened up the box. Inside was a diamond star, all five points perfectly aligned. He put it on the top of the tree. They smiled.
"It's beautiful Hermione." Draco said, and kissed her softly.
"I've got something else for you too." She said rather shyly. "I know it's rather unorthodox, but....."
"Hermione, what is it?" Draco asked, a smile playing around his lips.
"This." Hermione opened up another box, a little smaller than the first. She opened it in front of him.
It was a gold band, with a small design playing around the edges.
"Draco, will you marry me?" Hermione asked, looking into his eyes. Draco tore himself away and ran upstairs. Hermione watched him, confused. He came back down and kneeled in front of her.
"I will....if you marry me first." Draco said, and opened his box. There was a diamond ring, surrounded by emeralds in the middle of the red velvet. Hermione gasped when she saw it.
"Draco, it's beautiful!" She exclaimed, and they switched boxes. Hermione put hers on, and Draco did likewise.
"There's only one thing missing." Draco said. Hermione looked at him questioningly.
"What?"
OK, one more chapter left!
