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.
