Draw The Line

Letters: Chapter 43

December 20, 1998

Draco,

How has your break been? It's always a bit crazy at Ron's house, it's a lot of fun though. Ron, George, Percy, and Ginny all still live here of course, but Charlie and Bill will be coming tomorrow. Fleur, Bill's wife, is coming as well so the house is going to be packed. I suppose it's a lot less hectic at your house. Hermione will be coming for New Years too, so pretty soon there'll be 11 people here. You're probably rolling your eyes right about now, but it really is nice. I wish you could be here as well, I do miss you.

Love you,

Harry

Harry,

As you guessed, it's much quieter here than at the Weasley's. The holiday's are a much quieter affair here.

I've spent most of my time doing my homework for the break and reading in the garden. My mother has been reading in the garden with me as of late as well, it's strange in all honesty. Sometimes I wonder if she's trying to make up for the last few years. I don't mind it, though.

I wish I could be there too, not that I'd particularly enjoy being surrounded by 11 Weasley's for break, but for you. It's nice here, but I still miss seeing you every day. I think you'd enjoy the manor, or at least parts of it, one day maybe you can pay a visit here. I know there are parts of it that probably hold bad memories, but there's a lot more here too. Like I mentioned before, the gardens are very pretty. We have a greenhouse, which is where I read with my mother, that's full of different plants from all over the world. I recon Longbottom would enjoy it. We also have many acres around the house that we could fly on, no muggle would be able to see us.

On another note, I got you a Christmas gift that I was hoping to give you when we got back to school. Or we could possibly meet in Diagon Alley before we go back and I could give it to you then?

Love you too,

Draco

Draco,

I'd definitely like to see the garden someday, and I'd imagine Neville would like it too. I'd also like to meet you in Diagon Alley too, we'll have to set a day.

Charlie, Bill, and Fleur arrived this morning and Fleur has been in the Kitchen helping Ron's mom cook ever since.

Ginny came out today as well and Luna stopped by. Ginny and I came out together actually, I suggested it cause she seemed really nervous. Turned out, there was nothing to worry about, everyone took it extremely well, apparently Charlie is Asexual and Aromantic as well.

I got you a Christmas present too, I wanted to give it to you before break but then I spaced it. Sorry about that, don't worry I didn't forget about you Love.

Love,

Harry

Harry,

I'm glad everything went well with your coming out. I'm actually thinking about telling my parents as well. I'm not sure how my mother will take it and I know my father will be anything but pleased but I'm sick of hiding it and my parents have been talking about possible marriages lately. I think I will do it sometime after Christmas so I don't have very long before school starts if they get mad.

Christmas is in two days! I'm actually kind of excited about it to be honest. It's been a while since we've had a normal Christmas here.

Love,

Draco

Draco,

Good luck with your parents, remember I'm here if you need and if it goes too horribly you can always come here no matter what. Not to worry you, but be safe okay?

I love you always,

Harry

p.s. Happy Christmas Eve

December 25, 1998

Harry,

Happy Christmas Harry!

I don't have a lot of time to write as my mother is calling me down now for breakfast, but I wanted to tell you Happy Christmas.

And don't worry, I'll be safe.

Love you,

Draco
