Chapter 7: Sweet presents Weeks flew by and soon it was christmas. Harry still was sad, Ron and Hermione didn't understand what was wrong with him. Ron was the first in the 7th year boys dorm to wake. 'PRESENTS!' he shouted. That woke the other 4 boys up. Harry looked at his pile of presents, this year bigger than the other years. Harry picked up the first present. He ripped it open. A Weasley sweater, with a "H" embloid on it. The next 2 presents were sweets from Mrs. Weasley and the twins. Another package was from the twins, with stuff from their joke shop in it. Then he opened the next present, a book from Hermoine, "Quidditch Players of the Century". The next present were socks from Dobby. There was also a present from Dumbledore, a book he wrote about the Marauders. Harry smiled and started laughing. 'What is it Harry?' Ron asked. Harry tossed him the book. Ron wasn't used to Harry laughing, he almost never laughed anymore since Draco was gone. Ron laughed too. There still were 6 presents left. Harry opened the next one. Harry sighed, another book. He couldn't find a title on it so he opened it. On the first page there was written: To Harry, from your father and Sirius, to remember all those happy moments Harry flipped the page. He saw a picture of him and Draco, taken 2 days after they came back from the survival project. In the book were more photo's of him and Draco. Harry got tears in his eyes. He looked at the photo's again and then put it under his pillow. Harry opened the next present, this one unexpected. There was a note on it. To Harry, I heared all from your father, I made this picture one time when you didn't notice and my friend Tim made a drawing of it. ~Colin~ Harry looked at the present, it was a picture of him and Draco, sitting in front of the fire in the Gryffindor common room, heads against each other, sleeping in each others warm embrace. Harry smiled. Then he looked at the other paper. It was a very beautiful drawing of the picture. Harry also put the presents under his pillow. The next present was from Ron. There were now 3 presents left. Harry opened the next. This was really surprising, even more than Colin's gift. This one was from Lucius and Remus. Harry ripped it open. It was a picture of Lucius, Remus and Draco, waving into the camera, brooms in their hand. Both Lucius and Remus looked happy, holding hands, but Draco looked a bit sad. Harry smiled at the picture, Draco looked so skinny on it, his hair ruffled and his face full of dirt. Harry stroked the picture and then put it under his pillow with the rest of the presents. The next present was from Narcissa and Amelia, a small dragon pendant. Harry smiled. Harry quickly put it on. Then Harry looked at the final present. It was green with a ribbon tied around it. Harry opened it. A note fell out. Dear Scars! I hope you like this, I miss you very very much. I don't know where we are, Remus and dad won't tell me! I almost wasn't allowed to send you a christmas gift but I refused to go any further if I couldn't send you this, so they let me. Have you heared yet? My dad and Remus are together! I caught them snogging one time! It was so cute. I wish I could kiss you, be with you with christmas. Well, I love you very much, I always will!! Love, Dragon Harry cried softly. Then he opened the small box. There was a ring in it, For ever yours ~Dragon~, writtin on it. The ring was silver. Another not was put in the box. Hi again, I also got one, but mine has an emerald on it, to remind me of your eyes. Like I could ever forget! Love, Dragon Harry put the ring on. 'So Harry, finished with your presents?' Seamus laughed. He, Dean, Ron and Neville were playing wizard's chess, Neville got a set for christmas. 'Yeah'. 'What did you get?'. 'Oh, stuff'. Harry looked at the ring. He quickly got dressed, grabbed the books with pictures from under his pillow and ran down the stairs. He met Colin on the way down, his friend Tim was at home for the holidays. 'Thank you so much!' Harry said, hugging the smaller boy. 'It was nothing. I feel sorry for you, for what happened'. 'He send me a christmas gift'. Harry showed his ring to Colin. 'Wow, it's so beautiful' Colin gasped. 'I wish I could give him something'. Colin nodded. Ron came into the common room. Colin smiled, said goodbye to Harry and he walked down. 'What's all that?' Ron asked pointing to the books and pictures Harry was holding in his arm. 'Nothing, but I have to get down to breakfast'. 'I'll come with you'. Harry started running down to the Great Hall, Ron running after him. When Harry reached the Great Hall he burst inside and run up to the teachers table where his father was sitting. Harry put the photo books down. 'Hey! Merry Christmas' James said. 'You too, thank you so much!'. Harry hugged his father and then he hugged Sirius. 'Look what I got from Drac!'. Harry showed his ring. 'Oh wow, it's beautiful'. Sirius nodded. 'This is what I got from Lucius, Remus, Colin and Tim'. James and Sirius looked at the photo's and at the drawing. 'Oh, and I got this from Narcissa'. Harry showed the necklace. 'Cool, a dragon'. 'Yeah'. Harry picked up one photo and put it in his pocket. It was a photo of Draco smiling. 'Could you keep them? 'Cause maybe Ron finds them'. 'Yeah sure, but don't you have to tell him and Hermione sometime?'. 'No'. 'Okay, just wondering'. 'Well, maybe I should, but I don't want to. So did you get anything from them?'. 'Yeah, just small presents, oh and this is for you'. James gave Harry a letter. 'From who?'. 'Just read it, and Ron is coming into the Great Hall, go to him' Sirius said. Harry looked around. 'Okay'. Harry walked away with the letter clutched in his hand. When he sat down he ripped it open and looked at the writing. It was from Draco. 'Hello Harry'. 'Hi Ron'. Ron sat down next to Harry. Harry opened the letter further and kept it away from Ron. He read it sneakily. Dear Scars, I know you must be wondering why this letter was send to your dad. Well, I was scared that Ron might read it, so I send it to your dad so he could give it to you. Okay, I hope you liked my present. Of course, I wish I could be with you, we never had the chance to celebrate christmas together and I miss you even more now. I really hope you have a lovely christmas, a lot of presents and having fun with Ron and Hermione. Have you told them? Knowing you, you didn't. (Harry smiled at this). Well, my dad is telling me to hurry up, we have to be leaving again. I'm gonna miss you, and I don't know when I am allowed to write to you again. Well, goodbye then. Love, Draco. Harry was almost crying. 'Harry? What's wrong?' Hermione asked. 'Nothing, just a sweet letter I got from someone'. Harry smiled knowing what Draco had told him in the letter, "have you told them? Knowing you, you didn't". The End. A/N: This is the end, but I have a sequel!!
