IS IT LOVE? - a Draco Malfoy FanFiction

Christmas

NIEVE POV)

Soon it was Christmas and the lake was frozen over.

"Morning guys!" I walked down the stone stairs in some green pyjama shorts and a white tank top. It was cold so I threw a black fluffy dressing gown over the top. Sarrah, Freya, Blaise and Malfoy were sat around a tree. Malfoy should be at is Manor but his parents had 'business' to attend to. The common room was decorated with silver and green.

"Merry Christmas Nieve!" Sarrah called as she ran to hug me.

"Oof! Harry Christmas sarrah!" She hugged me tightly and and dragged me towards the tree.

"You've got presents!" Freya told me and pushed a pile of brightly coloured, wrapped gifts. Wow! Firstly, I opened one from Mrs Weasley. There was a letter on top of it. I opened that first.

Nieve,

We are rather upset at your actions but we do not mind that you are in Slytherin. Its not ideal but as long as you're happy! Merry Christmas darling, hope to see you soon.

Love, your FAMILY

Just slightly pathetic! A blue sweater with the letter N on the front, "in never wearing this!" I laughed and held it up to Freya who also burst out laughing.

"Okay okay! We got you one!" Sarrah held out a red square box.

Nieve,

we saw this and thought you might like it! Use it well ;)

Freya & Sarrah

I laughed and unwrapped it.

POTIONS: brilliant brews to befuddle your friends... or enemies. A big green book. "I love it! Iv always liked potions! Thank you girls!" I hugged them tightly.

"And erm... me and Blaise got it" Draco held out a small rectangular present. "I knew what they were getting you so I... well just open it." Gosh he was awkward!

"You didn't need to... but thanks!" I opens the present to find 2 small decorative viles. One with a snake wrapping round the glass; then to open it you lift up the head. The second had misted glass and a black and silver stopper. "Thank you! Now I can take my potions on the go! Hehehe" he looked as if a big weight was lifted off his shoulders. "Come on! Let's go to the hall!" We all made our way to our dorms to change. I put on some black jeans and a jean jacket (http://www.polyvore.com/cgi/set?id=102391594). We then went to the great hall. It was nearly empty as most students had returned home.

The weasleys and I hadn't because Mr & Mrs Weasly had gone to Romania to visit Charlie. I think that they were still pissed at me being Slytherin... and mean! Half way through breakfast, an owl came and dropped a small gift in front of me.

"Who's that from?" Sarrah inquired.

A necklace. It was a silver snake hung on a long chain. It had small diamonds placed all along the body and small engraved eyes on the head. It felt intriguing and dark to touch, which was strange, but it was beautiful so I was grateful. It drew me to hold it, almost like a magnet. When I looked up, I was Dumbledore turn to Snape with a worried expression. When he had finished taking Snape looked at me. His face briefly showed fear but the emotion was soon hidden, maybe I imagined it! Malfoy glanced at my gift with wide, scared eyes. Weird...

"It's beautiful, don't you think?" I showed Sarrah.

"Sure is! I wonder who gave it to you." She replied.

"Same. I'm just going to go for a walk." I said, before getting up from the table and walking out into the snow.

I got up from the table and walked out to the field by the quiddich pitch. The grounds were covered in snow, it looked beautiful! I laid down in the very middle of the quiddich pitch and looked up t the grey sky. The weasleys. The grangers. My family. Who do I call my family now? The Grangers will never be my family but the Weasleys are slowly disowning me! What have I done? My thoughts were interrupted when someone coughing.

"malfoy!" I jumped up and brushed the snow off my back. He laughed. "haha... erm what are you doing here?"

"I wanted to talk to you. Just..." he paused - contemplating as to what to say - then continued, "just be careful with that necklace"

"Why?" he was starting to scare me

"Because... you don't know who it came from!" he was lying.

"And you care about me because?" I smirked at him.

"Oh nieve... I don't!" he chuckled and I hit his arm.

"Whatever Draco. Let us go inside. It's freezing!"
