It was winter time at Hogwarts and many people were ecstatic, myself included.

There's something about winter and the whole Christmas season that just lifts my spirits. The trauma, the pain, the loss, is all just washed away by a fresh white blanket of snow.

Lorenzo and I walked hand in hand, scarves wrapped around our necks, mittens on our timid and cold fingers, along with coats to keep us warm.

Now, one thing you may not know about Hogwarts, is that in the winter, mistletoe suddenly appears when people who are in love walk by. Coincidentally, Lorenzo and I seemed to have walked right under it.

"Enzo, look." I softly said looking up at the green, frosted over, bundle. He followed my gaze and looked up at the parasitic plant and his signature smirk was spread across his face.

He looked down at me and gently placed his lips on mine. I smiled into the kiss and we pulled apart, red on our cheeks, either from the kiss or from the freezing cold weather.

We walked along the outskirts of the castle, our hands shoved in our pockets to keep the warmth.

"So, what are your plans for winter break?" He asked as we trudged through the snow.

"I usually just stay here for Christmas...I haven't anyone at home." I said in a sad tone and it was silent for a while as we walked.

"Come with me." He suddenly said, breaking the silence. I raised an eyebrow, "What?"

He stopped walking and went in front of me, turning to face me, placing his hands on my shoulders.

"Come with me...for Christmas. Stay with me. Stay at the Manor." He softly exclaimed, hope in his eyes and a grin on his face.

"Enzo...I don't want to intrude. I know you stay with the Malfoys for Christmas...and I don't think they'll allow a 'mudblood' like myself in their home." I jeered and he shook his head, the smile on his face still remaining.

"Nonsense. Mumsy will love you and Lucius is rarely there. As for Draco, he's inviting Lucille. But I can't promise he won't hold his tongue." He rubbed my shoulder. "Please, Helena. Come with me."

I looked at the boy unsurely. "Lorenzo I-"

"Come with me." He whispered and I could've melted right there if it weren't for the freezing temperature. "Come with me." He begged against my lips.

I couldn't help but give in as I connected our lips again.

He pulled back grinning, "I knew you'd say yes." He smirked and I playfully rolled my eyes.

"Oh please, you make me sound so predictable. Like I'm wrapped around your finger." I laughed out and he chuckled.

"You are wrapped around my finger." He said and I scoffed whilst rolling my eyes. "I am not!" I said pushing him back, making him stumble into the snow. Dragging me down with him.

I screeched as we both fell down, into the white powdery snow. We lay on our backs as I turn my head to the side, watching the boy beside me.

I see the delicate snow flakes falling on his face, melting at his warm skin, others remaining on his eyelashes. He is such a beautiful boy.

...

"You're coming with us?" Onyx excitedly questioned with a bright smile on her face. "Yes, if that's alright..." I replied hesitantly. We were sitting in the astronomy tower, Lorenzo had just told the group and they were so happy. Well, all except one.

"Of course it's alright!" She beamed and engulfed me in a bone crushing hug. "Uh- love, I think you're killing her." Blaise told the black haired girl as she was squeezing me. "Oh! Sorry, I'm just excited that's all." She apologized and I sent her a smile.

Everyone looked over at the platinum blond boy who was oddly quiet.

"Anything to add, Draco?"

He grimaced at Blaise's words, "No, nothing at all." He shrugged and turn his attention back onto his rings that he had been fiddling with.

Onyx huffed before grabbing his ear making him wince, "Ow, Ow, Ow, Ow." The boy said continuously.

"Must you be so harsh!" Draco sneered in pain as her grip on his ear tightened, making the rest of us snicker.

She let go as he stood up fully, his once pale ear now red from the pressure. "Anything to add, Draco?" Onny repeated with a forceful tone.

He narrowed his eyes at her, clearly they had been practicing something. A statement or a speech. Lord knows what, but Draco obviously didn't want to say it.

"I'm so glad that you are coming with us and I am most content with the fact that you are apart of Enzo's life." He apathetically stated, practiced of course.

I cocked an eyebrow, "Thank you..." I replied hesitantly as I turned to Lorenzo who had a grin on his face and shook his head. We all looked up through the window, at the night sky that had stars scattered across it. The moon beaming on each of our faces.

"Alright," Enzo started as he stood up "I think I'm gonna head off to bed. Care to join me?" He said while putting his hand out, which I willingly took.

"Of course." I smiled at him and everyone started getting up.

...

We now lay in my bed, Aisha off with her boyfriend again, leaving us alone.

We didn't talk we just laid there, no matter if we were tired or not. Staring into each other's eyes, his fingers running through my hair.

"I love you." He whispered, I smiled hazily at the boy. "I know, you tell me all the time." I giggled out and he grinned.

"Just in case you forget. I would never want you to forget me." He continued and I furrowed my brows together.

"I will never forget you, my love." I giddily replied back to the now sleepy boy. What on earth was he on about? I couldn't forget him, he was...well, unforgettable.

I don't think I've ever loved anyone as much as I love him. It sounds cheesy really, but it's true. I've never felt this way for someone before and it's a strong feeling.

I was snapped out of my thoughts when I heard a groggy voice speak up. "I think we should go to sleep, we leave tomorrow."

"Alright, sleep well Enzo." I bid him goodnight as his eyes shut. "Goodnight, darling."

Almost immediately, I heard light snores emit through the air, Lorenzo's mouth hung agape.

I run my hand through his hair with a grateful smile on my face. I place a small kiss on his forehead and close my eyes, letting sleep overcome me.

AN: ok so hi...
