Love How It Hurts - Draco Malfoy Fiction

Chapter 33 : As sweet as sugar, as hard as ice, hurt me once I'll kill you twice

*A week later*

I woke up stretching my arms and legs as my eyes peeled open revealing the cold and frosty morning that lay before me, my mind clicked, ITS CHRISTMAS! I threw my legs out of bed, adjusted my fluffy pajamas and slid my bunny slippers on to my feet and began the mad dash towards my mothers room to wake her up.

“MUM WAKE UP I WANNA SEE IF SANTA’S BEEN!”

“But Santas not...”

“DON’T LIE TO ME YES HE IS! Now hurry up!”

“I'm coming, don't yet your knickers into a twist!”

She got out of bed and I handed her,her dressing gown ( housecoat or bathrobe) and we linked arms and skipped down stairs. We walked into the lounge, the christmas tree sparkled revealing hidden parcels collected in neat piles under the tree all wrapped in shining silver and green paper and blue and silver, to mark out who's presents belonged to  whom, naturally, I had more!

After unwrapping a lot of stuff and screaming when I got my most desired articles I decided to go upstairs and get changed, I pulled on a red and cream christmas jumper along with cream jeans, snowflake earrings, my bracelet. I completed my look with natural make up, but sparkly eyes ( SPARKLES!) and a sideways fishtail braid. I hopped down the stairs and sent an owl to Alexis.

Alexis,

Hope you have a great christmas, miss my lil’ ginge.

Merry Christmas,

Sky.xxx

I sent my little owl off to do its bidding, I checked the clock, it was 10, a few hours to go yet I thought, until a little owl pecked against my window, I let it in and took the note from it’s foot.

Skyler,

I’m wondering if you would like to send presents sooner today as I am guessing you are already awake,

All my love, yours,

Draco x

I cooed over the letter, scribbling a reply back, I gave his owl a treat and sent him out to return my note.

Not too long afterwards I heard a thud from down stairs, I walked down, expecting to see my mother had fell over or something along those lines, but instead Draco is stood underneath my christmas tree. I run up to him and jump on him, engulfing him in a warm embrace, “Merry Christmas Sky”

“Merry Christmas Draco”

A small root of mistletoe appeared above our heads and we both giggled, as we kissed, a shutter sound went off, I lifted my head to see my mother smiling, “This ones for the album” she squealed and ran off, I laughed at her new found eagerness as she scuttled out of the room.

“Not that I don’t love it, but why are you here? I thought we were meant to be sending our presents by floo” I rambled as Draco played with my braid.

“Well, I thought, if we both have time to kill, we might as well spend it together” I nodded in agreement, “So would you like to sit down?” I ask smiling up at Draco as we played with each others fingers in amusement.

“Nope, get your coat, we are going on a walk”

“But it’s freezing!”

“I’ll keep you warm now go!”

I ran upstairs, grabbing my mittens, pulling on my scarf and warm coat with a fluffy hood and a hat as well as grabbing my bright red wellington boots. I skipped down stairs, collected Draco’s present from under the tree and we were off, but I realised i forgot to tell Mum. “MUM I’M GOING FOR A WALK WITH DRACO!” I shouted, Draco plugged his ears with his fingers as my screaming pierced his ears.

“OKAY JUST DON’T DO ANYTHING I WOULD DO AND REMEMBER WHAT YOUR FATHER USED TO SAY!!”

I chuckled at the thought of all of my late fathers little sayings, I knew which one she was on about straight away, ‘Sweet as sugar, as hard as ice, hurt me once, I’ll kill you twice.’

We got out of the patio doors and entered the winter wonderland that is my garden, we walked up passed the pond and under the small oak tree, sat a log where we perched ourselves, I took the small parcel from under my jacket and passed it to Draco, he unwrapped it carefully savouring the paper, it revealed a small camera, wrapped in a box, along the top ‘Savour the good memories, forget the unhealthy past’ he smiled and hugged me. “Your turn”.

He passed me the parcel, as I unwrapped it he shifted his position, closer to me, in the box lay the necklace I thought that was unrepairable, the gift I received from Alexis. “Draco thank you so much!” I said and grabbed him, we sat in a warm embrace for a while before I jumped down onto the ground making snow angels on the crisp white floor until I was called for dinner and Draco had to depart to his home. “Oh by the way, we are going back to hogwarts for new year”  I smiled as he left with a surprise drawn across his face....

I love Christmas!
