Time Travel

Chapter 7

Holly looked up from the book when she heard the door open. Draco entered the room with bags, she smiled at him. She didn't have any problem with Draco and she will always be his friend, he was there for her when her friends were not. Even though, they used to fight a lot at school, she can forgive Draco for everything he did. But those two can die for all she cares. Draco placed some bags near his trunk before taking the remaining to her. She looked surprised at him, she placed the book aside and took the bags from him. There were so many clothes for her along with some jewellery for daily wear. He even got her muggle novels on crime and murder, which she likes a lot.

"Oh, Draco. Thank you so much for all these gifts but there was no need. I already have so many clothes. We bought them before coming here. And, whoever said you I like these books, really thanks." She looked at him with a big smile, all her new things sprawled on the bed.

"I'm sorry for getting angry at you back there. I was so worried when I saw you with him." Draco sat at the foot of the bed. He really felt stupid for getting angry at Holly when his father said how she stepped back from him. He used to follow her when she rejected him thinking he is doing to get revenge but slowly his feelings changed to something else. When he saw her at Yule Ball, he understood what those feelings were, he started liking her but they can never be together due to the dark lord and his mistakes. Now, when he got a chance to be with her, he didn't want to lose it.

"It's fine. I understand. I just went away because of Snape. I couldn't sit anymore listening insults towards my family."She looked down at the book in her lap. "Anyways, if I get these many things for making you angry or worry everytime. I think, I would do it more often." She laughed at him.

"Merlin! No. If you want gifts. I will give you daily but don't do something like what you did today. Rabastan was not that bad every death eater are not as nice as him." Draco groaned and fell on to the bed making her laugh more. He smiled seeing her laugh. He rolled to his side on the bed to look at her more properly.

They talked some more time before Holly got hungry. She didn't even eat properly during Lunch. Draco dragged her through Leaky Cauldron to Diagon Alley after applying glamour and they went to Celestial Alley which is just next to Diagon, she never went there in her past. The Alley was beautiful and looked like a place where only rich people can go. Draco took her to a restaurant nearby and ordered food for both of them.

"This is my favourite place. I always used to come here with mother and father when I was small." Draco gushed about the restaurant. Soon their order came and really the food tasted brilliant, Holly ate everything on her plate. She doesn't eat much but when the food is this tasty who can say no to it. Draco then ordered her favourite dessert, Treacle Tart. Draco refused to let her pay and they left the restaurant. It was dark outside and the weather was cool.

Holly was lost in her thoughts and didn't see Draco looking at her. Her hair was tied into a ponytail and her face was shining in the moonlight. He wanted to kiss those lips but had to control himself, he promised not to force her and he knows that she doesn't have any feelings towards him. But he won't lose hope and soon she will love him.

"When is Narcissa going to invite Sirius for dinner?" She asked breaking his line of thoughts. "She said that she will write a letter as soon as she goes home and will come to visit us when she gets back a reply."

"What if Sirius doesn't reply to her?" She never thought about that till now and as she thought about it, she didn't know what else to do. "Don't worry. They will go to their house to talk and maybe they can get a chance to talk to the three of them together." Draco held her hand and they went back to their room. They didn't see a red-haired woman who heard their conversation even if it is just about Sirius and Narcissa.
