Her heart felt like it was on fire, she wanted to see him now, she couldn’t wait, she needed him. She wanted to tell him that she liked him back and that she wanted to be with him. He had called her beautiful, kind and smart all the things she doubted about herself he had confirmed that she was all these things and more. Ginny had been right, he really liked her and yeah he was 3 years older than her but Romeo was 4 years older than Juliet, plus she was mature for her age and didn’t look her age either.

She then got dressed into her Christmas dress which was black with a cream peter pan collar, she then put on her heels and went downstairs to meet the rest of her family, practically bounding down the marble corridor her feet so full of happiness. Her family were waiting for her at the breakfast table “Sorry I’m late, Merry Christmas”

“Jane are you alright ? you look as if you’ve been crying” her mother asked, her father sounded disgusted, showing emotions was something Malfoy’s didn’t do. “I’m perfect mother, more than perfect in fact”

“and why is that dear Jane”

“Oh just being home with my family” she said starting her breakfast , to avoid further questioning , she felt as if her mother already knew roughly the cause of her happiness but was glad that she didn’t persist with questions. They enjoyed a family breakfast and then retired to the drawing room to open presents , Jane and Draco got about a billion presents each , they consisted of broomsticks, books, clothes, jewellery and various other things that would show off their wealth. Jane felt bad opening her mountain of gifts for she knew that all the Weasley children put together would not receive this amount of presents from their parents. Her mood picked up when she remembered she had sent all her friends considerable gifts , a couple of books for Hermione, Flying with the Cannons for Ron, a broom compass for Harry , and every Zonko’s product available for George and for Fred an expensive watch from Borgin and Burkes. The rest of the Malfoy’s Christmas was perfectly satisfactory , Draco and Jane played a game of wizards chest in the evening , with Jane winning by a considerable amount. She went up to bed at around 11 and was just closing her curtains when someone knocked on her door “come in,” her brother came in and sat on her bed “Um you have your own bed so I would appreciate if you got off mine as I want to sleep”

“I just want to talk to you a minute”

“What?” she said getting into her soft bed , nearly pushing Draco off in the process

“I was wondering who the necklace was from?” he said placing an arm around her

“Mum and dad” she said snuggling into his chest to hide her blushing face

“No its not because you had it on when you came to breakfast,” damn she thought , she should have been more careful. Why was she even worried? She had nothing to be ashamed of , she wasn’t embarrassed by Fred was she. No she would never be, it just would have made an interesting Christmas discussion around the Malfoy table, why she was wearing a necklace from a Weasley.

“It’s from Blaise”

“No it’s not because Blaise gave you that ring” he said pointing to the beautiful topaz ring on her dainty finger, the parcel had arrived just after breakfast with a card say that he wished she would have a good holiday and that he missed her. “Is he not allowed to get me two presents?”

“But he didn’t cause I was with him when he bought the ring and he said that he was only get you one present”

“Well it doesn’t matter who gave it to me”

“Oh come on it can’t be that bad , its not as if it’s from a Weasley” he snorted, Jane remained quiet suddenly finding her quilt very interesting “ Oh god Jane it’s not is it ?” he said placing his hands over his face “So what if it is ?”
