The Journey

The First Dance

It was late now, I was stuffed from how much food I ate. I began to yawn when Fred came over to me. He held his hand out.

"Oh no you don't. Not yet! Got any good songs on that music player of yours?"

"Christmas songs?" I asked.

"Obviously. But if not any good song will do..."

"I don't think you'd like any of them Fred..."

"Nah. Can't be that bad." He smiled happily.

"Ugh. Fine." I turned on the music and we each put an earpiece in. I wore a two tone waffle knit tee that was black and grey. With a pair of black high rise skinny jeans. I was in my black socks. Fred wore a pair of dark blue jeans that were obviously older and worn. Yet semi baggy. His shirt was a loose cotton blend shirt with buttons by the collar, and it was a mix between red and orange.

I took his hand and we began dancing. It wasn't a formal type of dancing just. Going with the music. They were more along the lines of upbeat Christmas songs. The last song to play was Heaven and Nature sing. He grabbed my hands and spun me around as we were laughing. There was a scratch on the door again.

"Who could that be?" Fred looked confused.

"Probably the owl I tried to catch my breath." As Fred went to the door. Sure enough it was the owl.

"Dear Celestial,
I'm hoping Fred hasn't been too annoying and over protective since I'm not there. I honestly miss you a lot. Can't wait to see that smile again.
-  Love, Scorpius Malfoy"

"I'm not over baring!" He crossed his arms.

"Haha says the person reading MY letter." I laughed snatching it from him.

"So. When are you two just gonna hook up already?" Fred looked at me intensely.

"Fred. I didn't come to Hogwarts to hook up with anyone. I came to figure out who my parents are and how they knew Severus." I sighed.

"So? Things happen that you don't plan. I mean come on. Did you come to Hogwarts planning to laugh? Or spending Christmas with me?" He poked my shoulder.

"I suppose you're right..." I shrugged writing my letter back.

"Dear Scorpius,
He hasn't been worse than normal. By the time you get this I recon it'll be morning. So. Merry Christmas. Can't wait to be back at school with you all again. So far haven't found anything useful but, we'll try again in the morning.
-Love, Celestial"

So, after that I curled up in the chair and fell asleep under a warm blanket. Fred on the couch again.
