this year, sixth year, was the most stressful year for Draco Malfoy. the most sad year, even.

he took upon the dark mark right before school started. and he did regret it, he just didn't have much of a say in this choice.

now, his parents and the death eaters were depending on him to fix the vanishing cabinet so they could watch as Draco completes his task of offing his headmaster: Dumbledore.

it was currently ten o'clock at night, he was making his way back to his dorm from where he had been. the ROR of course.

Draco found it easier to roam around back and forth, seeing not many students were here right now because of Christmas break.

the only reason Draco wasn't at home like, mostly, everyone else was because his parents told him he would waste too much time if he were sitting at home then at Hogwarts, where he's able to fix the cabinet.

the silence was nice once in a while, anyways.

Draco shivered from the cold December wind around Hogwarts.

he made it to the Slytherin Dormitory and quietly mumbled the password.

he watched as the painting groaned, before Draco had came the painting had been asleep.

'what're you doing out so late again, Malfoy? can't you see i'm trying to sleep around this time?,' the painting said, obvious anger lingering his voice.

'very sorry. had a meeting with Professor Snape.'

the painting didn't respond and opened up for the blonde.

Draco gave a thanking nod and stepped inside, sighing.

he walked by the fire place to get some bit of warmth as he made his was up to his dorm.

once he stepped inside locking the door behind himself he was surprised to see a box on his bed.

he made his way over to it, picking it up.

it was wrapped in shiny brown wrapping, little green christmas trees placed upon the brown.

there was a note; it read,

' To: Draco Malfoy.
Happy Christmas. i hope you enjoy this gift.
- secret admirer. '

Draco rose an eyebrow, he felt the colour rush up to his pale cheeks.

he sat on his bed and inspected the box once more.

i didn't even realise it was Christmas already, the blonde thought to himself.

he carefully unwrapped the brown wrapping to find an ordinary white box.

taking off the top he felt a smile tug on the side of his lips.

inside sat a new bottle of the cologne he always uses, with some of his favourite sweets on the side wrapped in a treat bag.

how does this 'secret admirer' know mu favourite sweets and the cologne i use? he thought and questioned. he didn't know the answer to that.

but yet he pushed the thought away, because he felt very grateful someone thought of him enough to bring him a gift.

but that meant the person who gave him this present was also staying at Hogwarts for the holidays. maybe it would be easy to find out who it was?

maybe, he thought, it's that Ravenclaw. what's his name? Matthew Stone? yeah.. maybe
