I looked around at the swirling snowflakes and whispered, "Romulus?" Suddenly, my legs got knocked out from under me and I fell flat on my face into the snow. I struggled to get up and turned my head to see Romulus's grinning face.
"Miss me?" He asked.
I pushed him off me. "Jerk. I thought you died."
Romulus smiled even wider. "So you were worried about me."
"No," I said, standing up. "I was worried that if you did die, I would be accused of murder."
Romulus and I just looked at each other for a few seconds before we burst out laughing. "Yeah, like anyone would think that you're capable of murder," Romulus said.
I stopped laughing. "Are you doubting me?"
Romulus frowned. "Er, no... but I mean, you'd never do it... would you?"
"No."
Romulus nodded. "C'mon, lets go inside." Romulus grabbed my elbow and dragged me into the castle. He got us some hot chocolate.
"Thanks," I said, sipping the steaming beverage.
"In 5 days, Christmas will be here," Romulus looked at me. "What should I get you?"
I bit my lip. "Nothing."
"Really?" He asked, raising his eyebrow.
"Yes, really."
"Alright, don't expect anything from me," Romulus said.

I still got something from Romulus on Christmas.
"A sweater?" I asked, holding the light blue sweater up."
Romulus blushed a little. "My grandmum made it for my sister but it was too small for her and-"
"I like it."
Romulus stopped stammering and looked at me."Uh... Really?"
I nodded and handed him his present.
"More Chocolate Frogs?" He said.
I nodded. "For your collection."
"But I don't collect Chocolate Frogs."
"Now you do," I said. "You need a hobby."
Romulus huffed a little and mumbled under his breath. I smiled and rolled my eyes at him. "C'mon, let's go get something to eat."
AN: Sorry it was short... I'm really tired right now but someone *cough cough SiriusBlack199809* kept telling me I should update. So I did.
