Christmas break finally came, and I had two free weeks from college, but I decided against the idea of returning home. Draco wasn't going to be there, and I was too tired to tolerate my parents, so Ruby and I decided to stay for holidays in France, which in fact wasn't a bad idea. Because we could go around for walks in the snowy city and have fun on our own. I mean Paris was so beautiful at this time of year and every day that we went out, I just couldn't get enough of it

But for me, Christmas didn't feel like it did when I was a kid. I didn't see them with the same excitement my ten-year-old self would. The decorated trees, the mistletoes, and the socks that were hanging on the top of the fireplace didn't give me the happiness and comforting feeling that I felt every Christmas while growing up

 Inside me, it was like having a hole that couldn't be filled. Something was missing, or rather someone was missing. Christmas without Percy felt like the sky without the sun. The sky was empty without the sun keeping it company, and I was empty without having ginger with me. 

Everywhere I looked from the mistletoe in the wall to the wizard chess on the table was reminding me of him. The smell of cinnamon and coffee, every single thing, had a way of reminding me of him. Everything around me instead of giving me happiness gave me sadness

Also, the thought of celebrating our anniversary miles away from each other was what made me want to lie on my bed all day hugging my little fox teddy bear not wanting to leave my dorm except when Ruby made me to

I hated my parents for not letting me be with the one I truly loved. I hated my parents for not letting me decide for my future or what I wanted to do! I hated them for forbidding me to even see him, be with him, talk to him. Well, I guess now I know how Romeo and Juliet felt for not being able to share their love for each other with their families or their loved ones. But I also get the meaning of forbidden love...

I turned to the other side of the mattress of my bed to face the huge window and the view that I had from it. I looked at the snowy place with a faint smile on my face, letting out a small sob and wiping my nose, while trying to hold back the tears and be happy about the fact that it was Christmas Eve. 

I completely ignored the sound of the door opening because I knew it was probably Ruby coming to sleep in her bed next to mine, so I closed my eyes to pretend that I was asleep. I was too tired to hear her scolding me for not joining her at the Christmas party or for not even getting up from bed the entire day

But that's when I felt someone sitting on my bed and a hand being wrapped around my waist. I knew that the strong hand that pulled me closer to their chest wasn't Ruby's and I turned when I recognized the familiar smell for my eyes to meet the two all-familiar brown eyes that I hadn't seen for almost five months

Y/n: Oh Perce

I said before I hid my face in his chest and wrapped my arms around his torso. I started letting my emotions but also my tears out and started crying silently on his chest. I felt his hand rubbing my back comfortingly while the tears were rolling down my eyes. He gave me a kiss on the top of my head before he stood up, making me do the same, and cupped my face with his hands. He was looking at my crying face with a small smile on his face while I was trying to control myself and not cry more

Percy: I couldn't let you spend our anniversary on your own

He said with a comforting smile, and I let out a small laugh while feeling his thumb wipe the tears from my cheeks

Y/n: Let me guess Ruby told you how fun I have been lately and always dragging me out of parties 

I said with a smile and he did too

Percy: I missed that

He said, rubbing my cheek slowly with his thumb

Y/n: Missed what? My black humour?

I asked sniffing my nose, and he laughed while putting some hair that was falling on my face behind my ear with a smile on his face

Percy: No, your smile. You know, I love it when you smile and your entire face lightens up! And no picture can show how beautiful it is

He said, and I smiled one more time, not believing that he was next to me. It felt like a dream! Was I dreaming? Well if it is truly a dream then I don't want to wake up. I want to stay in this dream forever. Can I do that? Can I never wake up from my dream and just live this moment again and again until it will be able to happen in real life too? 

 But when his lips slowly moved against mine in a loving kiss, I knew that it was real and that I wasn't dreaming. Because it felt too good to just be a stupid dream! Oh, how I missed the feeling of his lips against mine or the way his hand travelled on my skin and how carefully he rubbed my cheek like it was something so vulnerable that needed special care.

I pulled away even if I didn't want to, but I needed air. My lips were slowly brushing against his while our foreheads were resting against each other's.

Percy: Would you like to be my date for the Yule Ball tonight, Miss Malfoy?

He asked looking into my eyes while I was looking at him surprised

Y/n: What?

I asked, and he smiled while taking my hands in his 

Percy: Well, Mr Crouch can't go tonight, and he sent me to represent him. It would be boring on my own there, so I decided to take you with me and keep me company 

He said, and that is when I noticed he was wearing a black suit while waiting for my answer. But he knew too well that I was definitely being watched and this is why I couldn't go outside without my parents knowing where I went, when, and with whom! But even if I am not being watched by someone, then the tracker on my foot will betray me

Y/n: You know I can't Perce 

I said, showing him my foot with the tracker on it. He gave me a silly smirk on his face which I knew very well and meant that he was up to something

Percy: Let's just say your mother already knows about it and that your father believes that you will go to Hogwarts to give a speech to the students about how to be responsible young adults

He said, and I looked at him confused having no idea what he was talking about before he gave me one more smile 

Percy: It was Ruby's plan! She arranged everything and also sent your father a fake letter "written" by Dumbledore, so you and I could have one more day together 

He said, and I let out a small laugh, wiping my nose. Of course, it was all Ruby's work! Who could have thought of an entire freaking plan to help their best friend escape with their boyfriend, so they could celebrate their anniversary together? Only Ruby Gabriela Baker

Y/n: Well I guess I can be your date to the ball, Mr Weasley
