After around an hour, everyone was cold and breathless, smiles on their faces. Molly had already gone in to make a giant pot of hot chocolate to warm everyone as they came inside. Now with a mug of hot chocolate in their hands, Harry and Draco walked around talking to people, their faces rosy from the cold. Hermione watched them from the corner of her eye, smiling. She spotted Ginny standing by herself so she gestured her over, setting her mug on a nearby table.
"Hello Hermione, did you need something?" Ginny asked, wondering why her friend gestured her over.
"Is it just me or do you think something is going on with those two?" Hermione asked, gesturing in Harry and Draco's direction, both of them having a conversation with George. Ginny looked in the direction Hermione was pointing, and noticed the actions of the two Hogwarts professors. Every time Harry talked, Draco seemed to be watching him speak, looking completely interested. Also, when Draco laughed he sub consciously placed his hand onto Harry's shoulder.
"Now that you mention it, those two seemed attached to the hip since you guys arrived earlier," Ginny agreed. 
"Tell me about it, both seem so happy when they are around each other. For example, the other day I came downstairs and saw the two cuddling on the sofa, fast asleep with smiles on their faces," Hermione explained. Ginny smirked, taking another glance towards the two.
"Draco defiantly seems nicer and happier than our days at Hogwarts. Maybe Harry changed him for the better," she suggested, Hermione agreeing.
"Yeah, defiantly."

Later on was one of the best parts of Christmas in Ron's opinion, the Christmas dinner. Since there was so many people, the Weasleys conjured chairs and tables to extend the eating area. There was plenty of food, ranging from meat to vegetables, Molly and a few others worked hard all day in order to produce so much food. Draco was sat in between Teddy and Harry, the Slytherin trying his hardest not to blush due to Harry's left arm constantly brushing against his as the Gryffindor ate. Looking up, Draco noticed a smirking Hermione across from him, having noticed his obvious blush. Draco blushed even more, ducking his head down. Harry was oblivious as usual, not noticing the red Draco and the smirking Hermione.

After the dinner came presents, and Draco was surprised when a few lumpy packages were handed to him, his name written all over them. The Slytherin opened the largest of the five first, shocked when he saw a "Weasley sweater." His was emerald green with silver designs all over, a silver D in the middle. Draco looked up, seeing Molly watching him, waiting for a reaction.
"Thank you so much Molly, I love the sweater," Draco exclaimed, being honest. His next move shocked her though, as he lent across Harry to give the woman a hug. She smiled, hugging him back.
"Of course my dear, I am glad you love it," She said, pulling away from the hug Draco grinned, switching his current sweater for the one Molly made him. Harry turned from his gifts and noticed Draco in a sweater.
"You look good," Harry said sending a grin towards his friend before continuing a conversation with Ron. Ignoring his red face from Harry's comment, Draco grinned, going back to opening the gifts he was given. He received a few potion ingredients he was running low on from Neville, a necklace that was supposed to ward off wrackspurts from Luna, a box of  Every flavor beans and some other sweets from Fleur and Bill, and a few pranking supplies from George. Draco smirked at this, planning on how he was going to team up with Teddy against Harry to prank him. Draco made a mental note to thank everyone later as he put his gifts aside, watching every one converse about. As he scanned the room, Draco frowned slightly when he saw Hermione and Ginny watching him, smirks on their faces. He rolled his eyes as he got up, walking over to the two girls.
"Why do you two keep smirking at me?" Draco asked, even though he had a pretty good idea as to why.
"What was with dinner?" Hermione asked, answering his question with a question. Draco rolled his eyes again, pretending to be oblivious.
"It's called eating Granger," Draco sassed back. The two girls glared, pulling him into the kitchen and away from prying ears.
"Tell us the truth Malfoy, why were you blushing every time you came into contact with Harry?" Ginny asked, once she made sure no one was listening in. Draco blushed slightly, looking at the ground.
"None of your business," Draco tends to be extremely sassy when nervous.
"Draco, do you possibly have feelings for him?" Hermione asked, keeping her voice down. He stayed silent, which gave the two girls their answer.
"OMG I KNEW IT!" Ginny exclaimed, a little too loud Draco snapped his head up so fast that he almost recieved whiplash, eyes wide.
"Weasly, please be quiet," Draco snapped, a blush still on his face. He was done with the two girls prying into his love life so the Slytherin went to exit in the doorway opposite the one he entered, but ran into someone.
"What's the commotion about?" Harry asked, looking in between the girls and Draco's blushing face.
"Er nothing, nothing at all," Draco muttered, going to move past Harry but was blocked by something. Looking around confused, Draco finally noticed something on the top part of the door frame.
"Okay. Teddy, George, which one of you put mistletoe up?" Draco asked, unamused.
