Without You (Unfortunately Going On Hiatus/maybe Put Up For Adoption)

Chapter 13 (Filler and Announcement)

*3rd P.O.V*

Everyone is excited with the two balls that are coming up. (That sounds so wrong. ergh) The whole school and grounds are covered with a white blanket of snow.  The school had its decorations up already. 

Harry, Draco, Pansy, Hermione, Luna, Neville, Ginny, Astoria, Ron and Blaise all sat in the dorm. They were standing in a circle all facing the each other. In the middle was a desk, and a top that desk there were 12 cups. Two were filled with pieces of parchment that said different types of questions for the game they were about to play. The other ten cups were filled with punishments for those who loose one for each person.

The game they were about to play was Never Have I Ever. They had made rules where those who hadn't done whatever was upon the card would stand to the right of the table which was towards the couches and chairs, and those who had would stand to the left of the table in the area next to the bunk beds. The side with the least amount of people would have to take the punishment.

Each person in the room had their name on one of the punishment cups. They decided that Harry would first pull the card out of the cup.

Harry pulled out a piece of paper and read it aloud. "Never have I ever lost my virginity," Harry reads. "Why is this even in here?"

While Hermione, Ron, Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Ginny, Astoria, Neville, and Luna walked to where all the chairs were, Harry sheepishly walked to the bunk beds.

Everyone gasped when they saw Harry over there. "Harry? You do know that means that you have right?" Draco asked.

Harry nods his head.

"How?" Draco asks utterly confused.

"Not important," Harry says as he walks to his punishment cup. He pulls out a slip of paper. "I thought that these were supposed to be punishments?" He says looking directly at Hermione, Pansy, Luna, and Ginny who were in charge of the punishment cards.

"We kinda got distracted and just wrote down random things," Hermione says.

Harry raises an eye brow and walks over to Draco. He kisses him on the cheek and goes to the card cup once more to draw out another piece of paper.

"Never have I ever had a muggle toy or device at Hogwarts," Harry reads.

Draco, Pansy, Blaise, Luna, Astoria and Neville walk to the couches while Hermione, Harry, Ron, and Ginny walk to the beds.

"Before you say anything it was for our father," Ginny says.

"Mine was just a squishy," Hermione says. (Pretend that they had squishies back then.)

"What is a squishy?" Draco asks.

"They are little shaped foam things that you squish," Hermione replies.

"What did you bring Harry?" Pansy asks.

"Not important," Harry mumbles.

They continue playing the game, and finding out lots of tea about the others. Harry tended to stay very quiet, and didn't say much. Once the game was over everyone decided to take a nap.

Pansy and Hermione were curled up together limbs in a tangled mess, foreheads pressed together. Neville and Luna lay nearby on the floor, cuddled together. Ron lay on the floor taking up as much room as he could. Ginny and Astoria lay near each other, one hand curled up with the other's. Blaise lay on his bed snoring. Draco lay on Harry's bed with Harry in his arms, spooning him (Draco big spoon, Harry little spoon). They all looked so peaceful.

A small red owl flew in through the window dropping a letter each upon Pansy, Blaise, and Draco.

Blaise awoke and opened his, and read it.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear Blaise Zabini,
Normally I host a ball for Lucius's friends, but this year I will not do that. I do still want you, Draco, and Pansy to enjoy the holidays though, so I will still have a ball, but it will just be for you three, and anyone you wish to bring along. All of the letters brought by Gemini will say similar things. I hope that this doesn't conflict with anything. The date will be December 22nd. You also can all, including any guests you bring, can stay at the manor for Christmas/Winter break.

Sincerely,
Narcissa Black.

PS. Tell Draco that I did indeed get the divorce. He wanted me too and I didn't want to be a Malfoy anymore. Tell him that he can also change his last name to mine too if he wishes.

Blaise smiled and whispered, "I guess Draco's a Black now."

Author: I know that this is short. I wanted to let you all know that unfortunately I am going to have to go on Hiatus. I am just struggling with getting out Chapters monthly like I have been doing. School is stressful and I need stuff off my plate. I will be trying to post a chapter every so often, but I am really struggling with trying to get out these chapters, come up with ideas for them, and get schoolwork done. It would just be easier if I knew that I didn't have to stick to a scedule. I will still continue this, I just will probably only post one or two chapters until end of June (when school ends for me). I am sorry to disappoint, but I am going to not always try to please anymore, like I try so hard to do.

Love you all my Weirdo Dragons.

Sorry again!

Bye.
