Harry POV:
"Well, I hope you enjoyed your very early Christmas morning." I said. It was only now 1 am. "I did. Thank you again so much." She said. "I hope you liked yours too Harry." She smiled. "Yeah. I love my gift so much. We should get some sleep. The Weasley's owl will probably come in later." I said. "Oh. I didn't know they would send something. I should have gotten them something." She said. "Oh, no need. Mrs. Weasley does it all out of love. I tried to send her something one year and she sent me a long letter on how I never needed to send her a gift again." I said. "Oh, well I'm glad then." She giggled.

"Well, um- sleep." She said. "Yes. Erm, sleep." I replied. We both turned to go up to our dormitories. Then Emlyn turned around. 

"Harry." She said. "Yes?" I replied. "Kiss me." She said. She stepped down the stairs and so did I. She ran over to me and put her arms around my neck. I grabbed onto her waist and our lips met. It was the most magical kiss. 

Once the kiss was over, I looked into her silvery-blue eyes, they were full of lust. We both smiled. She gave me a small peck on the cheek and went to bed. I was standing there in shock. I turned to go upstairs and just smiled. I felt so lucky. 

Later that morning-

It was about 9 am when I went back downstairs. I was sitting in front of the fire and then a big fluffy owl came and dropped a few presents under the tree. I quickly scribbled a note on a piece of parchment that was just a thanks to the Weasleys. A few minutes later Emlyn came down. "Hi Harry." She said. I got up and went over to her. "Hi. How was your sleep?" I asked. "Oh, it was great. Yours?" She said. "Mine was fine, thanks." I replied.

"The owl just dropped off the Weasleys' gifts. There are a few for you." I said. "A few?" She asked. "I have only ever gotten a few galleons for Christmas. A bunch of presents is quite new to me." She said. "Well, hopefully you enjoy this Christmas then." I replied. 

I handed her one of the gifts from the Mrs. Weasley. She opened it and it was a blue knit sweater with a knit in 'E' on it. "Oh, how thoughtful!" She said. I chucked. "What?" She asked. "Well, each person that is important to her like her children or one of her children's closest friends gets a sweater. So I guess it is an honor because you are important to them." I said. "Well, it is an honor then." She laughed. 

We opened the rest of the gifts and then decided to get ready and go down for breakfast. She was wearing a cute outfit. It was just a red sweater, jeans, boots, and the new earrings I got her, and obviously she looked good in it. I was wearing jeans and a Christmas sweater. She took my hand and then I pulled her in and kissed her. We started to walk out of the common room. Once we got into the halls, we let go of each other's hand so that nobody made any assumptions.

Breakfast was delicious and then we went to the common room. We got there and sat in front of the fire again, she read a book and I worked on an essay we had to finish over break.

 I walked up behind her and looked at the book she was reading, "What are you reading love?" I asked. I had just realized what I had said. "What did you call me?" She said. "Oh, I'm really sorry." I said. "Oh no, it is fine. I liked it." She smiled.

"But Harry, what are we?" She asked. "What do you want to be?" I asked. I knew what I wanted, but I didn't know the right time to ask the question. "Well, I really like you. I mean a lot. I have never really felt love from anyone, but I think this is it." She said. "Yeah, this is love." I said as I too realized that this was love. "I want to date you Harry." She said. "I want you to be my girlfriend Emlyn." I said. "I want that too." She said.

She smiled and stood up. "Merry Christmas, Harry." She said as she kissed me. I grabbed her and she grabbed me. This was truly the best Christmas.
