December 13th, 1994

Elle is in her charms class with Lily, it's snowing outside, she loved how the school was around Christmas, so festive and warm and full of life. Lily and her were laughing at Blaise joking around all the time. Elle was always good with school work, always switching places between being forth and the top of the class.

Winter was her favorite season, she loved it when snowflakes would fall onto her face, she loved making snow angels, she loved it when she and her family would go to the opera every other weekend since she was a ballerina, the festive food was the best though. She, her mother, and her sisters would decorate the whole house together listening to Christmas music.

The semester was coming to an end and she was going back to her country for the holidays, she was sad cause Draco would be so far away, for two whole weeks! But they prepare a Christmas ball every year, which contains dancing in the ballroom, dining in their ginormous dining room for events. She will convince her father to invite the Malfoys, they are purebloods after all, her father and Lucius are pretty much the same, just that Elle's father is very welcoming towards people, he was a kind man in general.

Later, that night:

Elle and Draco were in their room, reading... in silence

"Draco?"
"mhm?"
"What are you and your family doing in the second week of the holidays?"
"Ummmm... nothing actually, why?"
"Well, I thought... Perhaps you could visit me in France, and attend our annual Christmas ball"
"Elle... I would love that"

He smiled at her and she returned it, they continued reading until it was dinnertime. They went down to the Great hall and started eating, Gigi came to Elle

"So sister are you inviting anyone to our Christmas ball?"
"Yes, Draco is coming with his family"
"Just them? Elle, I invited almost all of my friends, c'mon Elle invite other people too"
"Okay, Blaise!"
"Yes darling"
"Are you and your family free in the second week of the holidays?"
"Yes... Why?"
"You are invited to the Daaé family Christmas ball, it's on 24th, in France. You need to be dressed up"
"Ummm... I-okay"
"Good, are you happy now?"
"No, I'll ask Lily instead of you"
"Okay, I don't care"
"Bye Elle"
"Bye"

Gigi stood up and went back to her table after asking Lily to come to France. She agreed. When Draco and Elle ate dinner, they went back to their room. They both showered and went to bed. Yeah, that early.

December 14th, 1994

It's the last day of school before the Christmas break, Elle is packing all her stuff like Draco is.

They packed up and carried all the stuff to the carriage which took them to the train. They found a free compartment and sat down, Lily, Gigi, and Blaise were with them. Elle started reading her novel and Draco just looked at her, she couldn't be more beautiful. She was moving her lips while quietly reading, Draco was observing the movement and he melted inside, she was really pretty, the sun shining on her pale skin and her eyes looking at the book in which he could see the letters from the pages. He adored Elle and her beauty. The thought of not seeing her for a week made him sad. He placed his hand on her thigh and gently squeezed it. She looked up into his grey eyes and smiled at him. He could see the joy in her gazes, he smiled back and kissed her on the cheek. She continued reading and he stared at her the whole ride, he couldn't take his eyes off her.
