it was christmas eve and amelia had never felt so loved.

willow's mum, jane, had gone above and beyond to make amelia feel like she was part of the family. she always had though.

with willow being an only child, it was easy for the mum to want to spread her love.

"-no, i don't want to look at baby photos again, mum," willow groaned as she shut her bedroom door.

amelia looked over her book laughing at her friends misery, her mum was too funny.

"shut it," willow huffed.

"i love your mum," amelia laughed, she always wished that willow's family could have taken her in.

willow knew christmas was always hard for amelia. it was a time where she always got more depressed than usual about her parents. understandably.

as the two sat and watch a christmas film in willow's bed, an owl quickly burst through willow's open window dropping a package into amelia's lap, quickly exiting.

"what the hell," willow was so confused, "who's it from? who's it from?"

amelia hadn't received packages, she could barely contain her excitement as she read the card attached, "draco, draco malfoy."

"well stop staring and open it!" willow was almost equally excited as amelia.

carefully untying the beautiful satin ribbon around the box, amelia unwrapped the gift, a velvet box falling into her hands. opening the small box she found a beautiful locket, inside, a photo of draco with the words 'to the most beautiful girl' engraved on the other side.

"let me see!" willow took the small box from Amelia's hands, scanning over the necklace, "amelia this is gorgeous, is this real silver?"

amelia could barely respond, the necklace was too much, it looked way too expensive. she could never repay him.

"oi, there's something else in there," willow pointed to the envelope that had fallen out of the care package.

'to the most beautiful girl,' was written on the front of the envelope.

"i'll read it after, can we finish the film?"

willow could sense that amelia didn't want to dwell on what had just happened and merely nodded.

;

draco malfoy was sat on the edge of the ledge on his balcony, carefully eyeing willow hendricks home in the distance. the large window to her bedroom remained open into the late night, and draco could see the light from her television reflecting on her mirror. thank god amelia was staying so close.

he figured amelia hadn't read his letter as the brunette girl never made an effort to contact him as he had written in the note.

it was one in the morning, christmas day and draco was all but happy. he hadn't seen amelia in almost two weeks and it was killing him.

so when he was in diagon alley with his mum he knew he had to send amelia something, just to show how much he had missed her and cared. he wished she would reciprocate it.

as draco sat on the balcony he noticed moving at the gate of the manor, someone was trying to open it.

"who's there," he yelled towards the figure.

soon the gate was opened and a small figure walked closer and closer to the entrance. draco pulled out his wand holding it towards the person.

"it's amelia, you told me to come," amelia waved up at the blonde haired boy who was beaming.

"hold on, i'll come get you,"

in a matter of seconds draco malfoy had ran from his bedroom on the second floor to the front entrance. quickly but carefully opening the front door as to not wake his parents, he ran to amelia, holding her tightly in his arms.

"i'm so glad you came," draco felt like crying, he was so happy, "so, so glad. you look more beautiful than before, how is that possible."

amelia shrugged, "i read your letter... i'm sorry i've been such an arse."

her apology only made draco hold her tighter in his grip, he didn't want to let go, it was all too good to be true.

"come inside, my parents are asleep, but my room is a floor below them," draco took amelia's hand in his as the two retreated into draco's manor.

amelia felt so out of place, like she was in a museum. she had always seen draco's house from the outside whenever she went to willow's but the inside was just unreal. everything was either stone or marble and art work was placed everywhere.

"your house is unreal," amelia stopped draco as she ran her fingers over a painting of salazar slytherin.

"it's not much, but it's home," draco joked as amelia rolled her eyes. they went up two flights of stairs before heading down a dark hallway, arriving at a door placed at the end.

"this is my room."

as amelia walked inside the huge bedroom, she noticed how inhabited it looked. there was a desk with books placed on top and a few slytherin trinkets. the chest in front of his bed housed his black dress pants. the walls were painted a dark green and the floors were black wood. it was all so dark and depressing.

draco sat on his bed, watching as amelia inspected the few things placed around his room.

she went over to his bed side table where a photo of his mum and dad was framed, followed by a photo of amelia.

"where- when, how did you get this?"

"yearbook," draco winked. she was impressed, he was very sly. a bit weird, but the gesture was cute.

"your room has no personality," amelia walked over to his closet inspecting the various black suits.

"i'm quite the minimalist, amelia."

amelia quietly laughed to herself as she found an old wizarding band tee shirt hanging in the back of his wardrobe.

"does willow know you came?" draco asked.

amelia nodded her head as she walked towards him, "yeah, i told her i'd be coming here before she fell asleep. i've got a key to the house."

amelia went to the opposite side of draco's large bed, climbing on top and laying beside him. she was quite tired and his bed was the most comfortable thing she had ever laid on, but she knew she wanted to stay awake and talk.

"you don't know how happy you make me amelia," draco smiled at amelia laying beside him. he brushed the strands of hair from her face, tucking them behind her ear.

she looked so beautiful, she was wearing a long sleeved white shirt and slytherin house sweatpants. she had fuzzy socks on that made draco think she looked so adorable.

"i have missed you," amelia stared up at draco, admiring his face.

draco placed his hand on amelia's face rubbing his thumb over her cheek, he leaned down and placed a kiss on her forehead.

"draco," amelia barely uttered above a whisper, "kiss me please."

taking his hand behind her neck, draco brought amelia close to his face placing a kiss to her lips. they both knew that there was a feeling they couldn't deny from the contact.

amelia felt like her lips were tingling, and from that moment on, she knew draco malfoy was going to fuck up her life.
