A/N!!!!!!

Okay guys I'm really really sorry I haven't updated in sooooo long but I've been working at a summer camp most of the summer. On top of that I had cheer and a plethora of other responsibilities I've been trying to battle. Once again I'm sorry it's been so long but I hope you can forgive me. Enjoy! ☺️

"Dracooooo!!!" I yelled, running down the hallway, stopping at the room I knew he was staying in while he was here. When I reached his door, I kicked it open and ran inside. I saw Draco wrapped up in his blankets laying on his bed. I grinned evilly and ran over to his bed, hopping up on to it and jumping all around him.

"What time is it...?" He asked groggily.

"It's time to go! Come on get ready! We're going shopping!" I yelled excitedly. I grabbed his hand and yanked him upwards. Dragging him out of bed, he complained about wanting to go back to sleep. "You do realize its noon right!!"

"No, not at all." He said teasingly, his 'signature' smirk on his face."But fine, I'll get ready. I see you've already done that, I'll meet you downstairs in ten minutes." He paused for a moment, his smirk turning into a genuine smile. "You look nice by the way." He turned around and I felt the blood rush up to my face, and the familiar feeling of butterflies returning to my stomach. I knew I looked like a tomato so I turned around, rushing out of the room and slamming the door behind me. I made it about two feet away until I ran into a solid figure, I was about to fall to the ground when two hands place a firm grasp on my shoulders, steadying me. I stepped back and brushed my self off. Looking up to see Laurence, smirking down at me.

"Well, well, well. What do we have here?" He said smirk still firmly in place. When I didn't speak up, still blushing profusely, my brother did. "I find you here, running out of your crush's room, blushing badly, and obviously in some sort of a daze, as you just ran straight into me. So. What is the reason for your cherry red cheeks?"

"I-I don't know what you're talking about."

"I think you do, Y/n."

"Even if I did it's none of your business." I said teasingly. Before he had a chance to say anything back, I stuck my tongue and spun around. Dashing down the stairs. I ran into the living room, and plopped down onto the couch. I decided that I should probably have some sort of plan for what I wanted to get everyone for Christmas. I grabbed my wand and pointed it at the catalog that had ads for all the stores in Diagon Alley. I whispered 'accio' and it came zooming towards me. I already knew what I was getting Hermione, a signed self updating copy of A History Of Magic, for Ron I'd be getting a basket of candy and a pair of warm fuzzy socks, you can really never have enough of those. For Laurence I though I'd get him a new beater's bat, since the one he currently had was getting a quite worn out. I decided for Ella I would get her and I a pair of necklaces that I had seen an ad for in the catalog. If you held onto on necklace and say or think what you want the other person to know, the other necklace will warm up slightly, and once they touch the necklace, they receive the message, and it will play in their head. I figured since she's not able to come to classes yet, she can at least talk to me and let me know if something is wrong. I knew what I was getting for Harry, he'd told me all about how awful the Dursley's were to him, so I thought I'd get him something I had seen an ad for in the paper. The new Spellphone 2713, you could send texts, call, play games, set reminders and a lot more. The best thing about it though, was that as soon as you bought it, you can never run out of service, and you can always reach this thing that a witch made called the internet, it's got all kind of resource's for witches and wizards of any age. I figured the Dursley's would probably take away all his magic things, so I'd be sure to get the downloadable text books for him before summer break so he can study over the summer. I thought for the Whitby twins, I'd get them some new Quidditch gear, and a matching outfit for the three of us to wear on game days. But, I still wasn't sure what to get Draco yet. I heard foot steps walking into the room and I looked up, speak of the devil.

"You ready?" He asked me, a smirk still on his face.

"As I'll ever be." I said, standing up and walking over to the fire place. "Alright, let's floo over shall we?"

"Sure." He said, walking into the fire place, finding his place next to me. I pulled out my bag of floo powder from my purse and grabbed a small handful.

"Diagon Alley!" I shouted, green flames filled my sight as I felt a tug behind my navel, landing in another fireplace in one of the stores, I started stumbling out, and almost fell over, but was caught by Draco.

"Thanks..." I muttered quietly.

"Alright so I've got a lot of shopping to do, so we'll split up to get our gifts and meet back at the Leaky Cauldron in-" I paused and looked down at my watch, it was 12:15. "One hour. That's at 1:15, whoever is late has to buy the other a glass of butter beer!"

"You're on!" Draco said, and walked away.

I figured I would get Hermione's gift first, as I was already in Flourish & Botts. I walked up to the counter and told them what I would like. They went into the back and returned five minutes later with a bag, paid them and left. I went into the candy shop and bought Ron's gift.

I decided next to go to Quality Quidditch Supplies, and get Laurences gift, and part of the Twins' gift. I walked in, grabbed what I need off of the shelves, and went up to the counter to pay.

Once everything was bagged up I put it on the trolley with the other gifts, and walked out. The only thing left were Harry, Ella, and Draco's gift. Since I had no idea what I was getting Draco, and both Harry and Ella's gifts were in Wiseacre's Wizarding Equipment, I decided to go into there. I grabbed both the phone, and the pair of necklaces, and started browsing for Draco's gift. I saw a display for bracelets, and decided to go check it out. I found a bracelet with a dragon carved into and decided that this would be the perfect gift for Dragon Boy  I walked up to the counter and paid for the gifts.

I realized that I had no idea what time it is so I turned back around and asked the man at the counter.

"Excuse me sir, but do you have the time?"

"Ah- Yes, I do! It is 1:05!" The man said.

"Thank you sir!" I said over my shoulder as I whipped around and zoomed out of the store.

I ran as fast as I could in the direction of the Leaky Cauldron. I reached the front door and swung it open wide I strutted in with a smirk on my face. I won! My smirk faltered when I saw Draco sitting on one of the bar stools smiling at me. I walked over to him with an awestruck look on my face.

"H-how did you-?"

Draco cut me off with a simple wave of his hand, and of course in typical dragon boy style, and rather perky smirk.

"I guess that'll be two butter beers and two chocolate sundaes?" I said, feeling a bit awe struck.

"Nah, I've decided, it's Christmas! So, this rounds on me." Draco replied, winking at me as he waved over a house elf to take our- errr his order. It didn't take long for our butter beers and sundaes to arrive in front of us. I chugged the butter beer in about thirty seconds and began eating my sundae.

"So, what did you buy?" Draco prodded. I looked up at him and gave him a crooked smile.

"Well that's a secret of course!" I said, giggling a little.

"Fine, Fine. But hey we should probably floo back home soon." He said.

"Ah! You're right!" I said a bit frantically  I quickly ate the rest of my sundae and hopped up onto my feet.  "Well lets go then, shall we?" Draco weaves his arm through mine, smirking slyly at me.

"We shall!"

The two of us flooded back to Maddox Manor, several bags on our arms. We stepped out of the fireplace and into the living room. I walked over to the couch and set my bags down. I took my coat off and hung it up on the hook. I turned back around, smiled at Draco, and went up the stairs.

I walked into my bedroom, set the gifts I had bought on my desk and plopped and my bed, sighing heavily. Who knew shopping could take so much out of a person. I got back up and went into my closet, pulled on a pair of pajamas and slipped into bed. I drifted slowly off to sleep.
