Riddle Me This

Chapter 60

I am so sorry for the long wait guys! It's just been... 2018 so far hasn't been the best. My Grandmother died, and then my cat died, and now I need to rearrange my room/life because my boyfriend is moving in (long story) so I'm kinda running around like a chicken with my head cut off and I'm just sort of emotionally drained. BTW, all this stuff happened between my last update and now. So yeah... bright side, I have internet again.

Catherine's POV

Christmas came, and almost every eighth year stayed back. My friends all stayed, and I was really happy to spend this holiday with them.

"So, what did you get, Cat?" Luna asked, having brought her gifts from RavenClaw, as I grabbed a smaller present from under the tree. I laughed.

"Let me open one of my presents first Luna." I checked the tag and passed it to Neville. As I continued passing out gifts. I finally got to one of my gifts and smiled. When I opened it, it was a book about advanced healing potions. "Thanks Hermione." I said happily, before grabbing another present addressed for me. I eyed it carefully.

"What is it Cat?" Ginny asked, having brought her things from Gryffindor.

"It's from Blaise." I said. I opened the present carefully, and when no sexual sounds came out of the box, looked into it. I smiled. "Thanks Blaise!" And I pulled out one of seven contraceptive potions. "I was running low. Oh and look, infertility potions too! Perfect." I looked deeper in the box and turned bright red.

"Cat?" Harry asked carefully. I looked up to Blaise.

"Pansy told you, didn't she." It wasn't really a question. Because Hermione would never divulge something like this

"Told him what?" Hermione asked. I reached into the box and pulled out lingerie. Green and silver, of course. I saw a good majority of the room turn red. "Why are all of his gifts to you sexual?" Hermione asked.

"It's Blaise." Pansy, Draco, and I said at the same time.

"There's a pink and white, red and gold, and black set too." Blaise said proudly. I looked in and nodded.

"Thanks Blaise. I'm sure Draco and I will put these to good use." I smirked to Draco, who smirked back.

Once we were done with presents, I was happy with what I had gotten. Neville got me a book on Herbs to use with healing potions, and one for healing herbs to use on bats. Luna got me a pair of Wasspurt glasses. Pansy got me four boxes of Pepper Imps. Lolli had sent me ingredients for Dreamless Sleep again, and Kreatcher had sent me another book of healing charms.

"Kitty." Draco said as he sat next to me. I turned to him and smiled. I grabbed my gift to him and handed it to him.

"Open mine first." I said. Draco nodded. I had gotten Draco a self cleaning cauldron, because Draco had been talking about maybe being a potion master and opening his own apothecary in his sleep once. It was engraved with his name and had a snake wrapping around the top and acting as the legs. And when Draco saw it, he looked so confused, which worried me greatly.

"How did you..." He trailed off, looking between me and the cauldron. "I don't remember ever telling you I wanted a cauldron."

"You said you wanted to be a potion master in your sleep once." I admitted, fidgeting slightly. Draco blushed a little, before smiling softly.

"Thank you, Kitty." He leaned forward and hugged me. "I love it." He whispered in my ear, making me smile wide. "Now open my gift to you." Draco said as he shoved a gift into my hand.

"Alright." I said as I opened the smaller present. Inside was a small bracelet that looked very much like a snake. I smiled. "Draco. It's beautiful."
