I breath in the fresh air, my skin all tingling from the cold. I close my eyes lightly and snow falls all around me. As i open them again i let out a small sigh. "Snow" i smile muttering under my breath. My body is beyond the point of coldness. Stealing a slytherin common room blanket was barely enough to keep me warm thought the night of snow but i couldn't resist. My dress from the party, charmed to be heating didn't last. Im not the best at charms. But even though all the cold i could stay here forever. And i probably will considering my legs are numb and surrounded by snow.

The sunrise was around an hour ago meaning Saturday breakfast would have started and everyone would be wondering where i was. V and Blaise, assuming i hooked up with someone as they locked the dorm after i didn't come back at the end of the party. Not knowing i was in Draco's room. Draco probably thinking i was safely back in my dorm. Ed probably too busy hooking up with his own girl to care. I let another sigh release from my lips as all the troubles of life flood back after the therapeutic house of snow. I mutter a spell that heats me up enough to walk back to the castle, feeling dragged away from the beauty of snow. But craving the hotness of coffee waiting in the great hall. As i walk into the great hall a couple heads turn my way and murmurs as i look down at my dress from the night before, blanket slung over my arm. I scoff at the rumours. Pathetic.

As i sit down all four of them stare at me. "Sophis u look fucking freezing!" V raises her voice as she handed me a coffee. "Rule out hufflepuff. All their dorms are next to the kitchen." Blaise states as he turns to the boys. I send him a glare as i sip at the boiling hot coffee, already feeing a little warmer. Draco passes me his slytherin hoodie over the table while reading my face. "No you didnt." He scoffs as i pull the soft hoodie over my head, the nice smell of his cologne hitting my nose. "You lunatic." He shakes his head.

"What?" V looks between us confused, as well as Blaise interested. Whereas Ed is stuffing his mouth with bacon. "Snow" is let out a small smile as i mumble the words, sipping at the hot coffee. "Again!? S your gonna kill yourself! And in that? At least last year you layered up." She looks at me worried. I give her a glance. "Someone locked me out my own dorm." I mutter under my breath but everyone hears.

...

V and I meet the boys in the common room after i finally convince them to come play in the snow, dragging them down to the black lake. "You know Diamond. Normally I'd love to see you lose some layers but i think you look absolutely beautiful today" Ed swings his arm around my shoulder. I raise my eyebrows at him, concerned he's taken two much weed for once. "Was that an actually compliment from Ed?" V questions as i narrow my eyes at his plastered face. "What do you want?" I ask and he lets out a sigh. "Can i not just compliment-

Ed is interrupted by Blaise and Draco both sighing. "Ed what -

"Fine i need a favor." He drops his ar off me and looks down nervously "i just i know your not close with your parents but i need you to ask them-

"No." I say immediately not having to hear the rest. "Told you." Blaise mutters as we leave the castle, grass crunching under our feet. "Soph please! My dad's divorcing his 5th wife he needs to still look presentable! I just thought you might get him on your parents Christmas party list..." he begs. "Ed even if i could speak to them that's impossible. I didn't even get to go to the famous Diamond Christmas party and it's my name!" Unfortunately. I explains to him feeling sorry but knowing i could only take the mental hit if it was worth something.

The Diamond Christmas dinner. God what a bunch of fake asses. Every respectable family has a Christmas dinner. But the Diamonds? No theirs is on Christmas Day. Because they're superior.only inviting the best pureblood families they know. Where my shit show parents show off our  amazing manor and brilliant family. However, last year instead of showing me off as a respectable young girl they uninvited me after me and Draco had too much to drink at the Malfoy party and acted 'inappropriately'. Which really means i probably laughed to loud or did something 'impolite' in their eyes. That 'i carry the family name and have to respect it ad if i couldn't realise that then i simply wasn't welcome at any Diamond Christmas party.' Not our family party. The diamond party. Like im not even a daughter through their eyes.

After a whole morning of snowball fights, snow angels, and any snow games we could think of we started to head back to the castle. I ok back at the freezing lake, and snow a foot deep atleast. Admiring the glistening snowflakes. I don't realise i stopped until i feel an arm go around my shoulder and a little sigh. "You've been out here since you left my room at 3 in the morning. Had a break at 8;30 and then came back out. It's 12 o'clock. and you still dont want to leave do you?" Draco questions and the lakes hushed noises carry on in the background. Now realising that only Draco must of noticed and stayed behind. I shake my head lightly and rest my head on his shoulder as i gaze over is. The white trees, the covered ground, the dents where we just messed about for hours. It's all beautiful.

"Come on your freezing. We'll come back out tomorrow" Draco runs a hand through my hair. "It won't be here tomorrow. It's going to melt overnight and wont be back for atleast 2 weeks." I explain. I dont know how i can tell. I just can. I've always been right about it. I hear Draco mutter a spell under his breath that immediately heats me up. He was always better at that sort of thing. "Five more minutes" he lets out a short relaxed sigh as we both stare out to the black lake.

Draco's pov

I chuck the letter in the fire. Enraged with the piece of paper written by my father. A voice behind me interrupts me angry thoughts and i turn my head in a sharp moment. "Burning your victims?" Her light tone and smile lifts my mood a bit more but i turn back to the fire as i see his signature Lucius Malfoy signature burn. Soon i feel her presence next to me and she looks into the fire ten at me before looking back. "What was it about?" She looks down, noticing his annoyed tone. He felt angry. But also disappointed. Worthless. I run my hands through my hair before pacing to the sofa and sitting down. Sophia comes and sits by me obviously realising there's a lot on my mind. i stare off in front off me, not being able to look at her when im in such a weak state. "Hogwarts sent an apology letter to my parents. About the whole ferret thing. He completely turned it on me. Said i shouldn't be embarrassing myself. That i need to be a man. That i should be friends with Potter and not enemies." I let out a scoff as i read through the letter in my head. It's silent for a minute before Soph reaches out for my hand. I didn't face her thought. I feel too stupid humiliated. Even if she's seen it before, telling her this is more than he would do with anyone. She's the only one that would understand properly. "Don't listen to your father. He doesn't see the great person you are at Hogwarts. He's too worried covering his own personality to see the amazing person he's somehow raised." He reassures. And it breaks a Tony part of him when she comforts him about his family. He feels guilty at the fact she will always understand what's its like for him but he could never understand her family isssues because they are 10 times more important. And it fills him with so much guilt.

But what he doesn't know is that Sophia is worried too much about saying the perfect words that he can always think of to comfort her. Because she knows the pressure he receives from his dad but she can never word it like he can to her. And it fills her with so much guilt.
