"So Draco what are your plans for Christmas?" I asked, we were just lounging around the 8-year common room, I had convinced Snape that it would be easier for them to reconnect and lean on each other after the war if we had just created a house for the 8th years. Draco blushed and turned to Harry,

"Oh I think that I'll just stay here," He shrugged, "Not much to go back home to," many people murmured in agreement. I looked around,

"By a show of hands who is planning to go back to their parents home," I asked looking around, Ron and a handful of others raised their hands and I hummed,

"Change of plans, all 8th-year students are officially invited to a Christmas formal!" I said, uncertain looks were exchanged and I nudged some people, "It's either a formal or a sword fight to the death," I said laughter went around and people started to nod and get on board,

"Great," I said clapping my hands together, "I'll be in charge of location, ex- Griffendors you're in charge of decoration, don't do just red and yellow, ex- Ravenclaw you are in charge of theme, work with the Griffendors, ex-Hufflepuff's you're on snack and refreshment detail, and ex- Slytherins you're on music," I said, getting up, "Today was the last day of classes so let's get on it people, we only have 15 days to make this happen,"

The 15 days went by in a blur, The teachers and I set it up outside with a magic see-through tent so it was warm and also pretty, the theme was 'Hogwarts Christmas' Past," so the sides of the tent flickered with pictures of the 8 years growing up through the years, Christmas at Hogwarts and at home the pictures rippled on the see-through material. It was beautiful and I couldn't believe we pulled it off, the snacks had little pictures of a memorable symbol from each year, that was my idea. The look on Snape's face when he saw them was worth the bonus points I had given them,

"Welcome to the 8th year Christmas formal!" I called as everyone arrived, "I hope everyone's ready for a night of fun because this is your last chance to kiss the girl!" I said grinning out to everyone! "The teachers are here for a well-deserved break like everyone here deserves so please don't make us work," I said and chuckles rose up from the crowd, "Enjoy everyone,"

"You did a really good job pulling this off," Snape said and I grinned,

"I know," Snape looked over to me,

"Are you going to stay?" He asked and I turned to him,

"I want to, but I have things to settle before I settle down just yet," I said and he nodded

"Okay, but when you're done just know you will always have a job here," he said and I smiled,

"Percy, dance with me," Hermione demanded appearing out of nowhere and offering me her hand,

"Er-it's alright Hermione, I can't dance," I said and she scowled and grabbed my arm pulling me onto the dance floor,

"Now put your hand on my waist, and here" she murmured as she positioned me properly. I felt heavy gazes on us as we danced, I looked and made eye contact with Ron silently pleading him to cut in, he snickered and nudged Harry who snickered as well I rolled my eyes, some friends they were. Finally, the song ended and I bowed to Hermione and she chuckled. I groaned and walked back over to the edge of the tent,

"Well, that was entertaining," A voice chuckled and I spun around,

"Nico!" I cried wrapping my arms around him, "How are you, man?" I asked

"Good, you seem chipper," he commented and I nodded,

"Things have been going well, I teach now!" I said, "Come on I'll fill you in!"

Gods I missed Dick.
