It's snowing. Crips flakes drift down outside my dorm room widow. I've elected to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas this year and this time I'm the only Slytherin left. I don't mind though, it'll be a relief to finally have a break from the constant teasing I've experienced lately. Apparently it's not cool to date the famous Harry Potter? I don't know what's wrong with the other Slytherins, Harry's amazing.
Speaking of, I'm going to take him out to Hogsmade today. Just the two of us. In the village. At Christmas time. Mistletoe, here I come!

The fresh snow is soft under my boots as I tromp across the courtyard. Harry said he'd meet me at the front door at 9am; it's almost 9:05. It's not like me to be late, but my alarm clock decided to up and quit and it takes a while to get all theses layers on.

As I round the corner of the building, I spot him. Harry is leaning against the front doors of Hogwarts castle; his head tipped up to watch the snowflakes that gather on the edges of his glasses. The red and gold Gryffindor scarf that's tied around his neck goes so well with his profile, I swear I'm going to perish of hot babe overdose.

Harry sees me and waves, I head towards with my arms outstretched. When I get close enough, I grab him around the middle and lift his small figure off the ground in a huge hug.

"Hey! Drac, I know you're happy to see me, but could you put me down please?" He says, smiling and blushing.
"Sure, babe." I say, setting him back on the ground and kissing his temple through his hair.
We walk along the path; our breath forming mini clouds that trail behind us.

"Do you remember, a couple years ago, when you, Crabbe and Goyle were bugging Ron and Hermione up by the Shrieking Shack?" Harry asks and I'm surprised, also embarrassed.
"How d'you know about that? You weren't there!"
He smiles shyly.

"You know that invisibility cloak I inherited from my dad?" He looks up at me hooks his elbow around mine.

"Ye-s?" I look back at him suspiciously.

"I was the one who threw snowballs at you." He giggles and flushes. I'm shocked.

"Wha- how? How dare you?! Do you know how freaked out we were? We thought there was actually a ghost or something!"
We're both laughing and bumping each other's shoulders.

"Yeah, I watched you run away. I think Crabbe might have peed himself!" Harry chokes out between giggles.

"He did!" I shout into the morning air and we both fall over onto the snow; laughing like lunatics and clutching our stomachs.
