Forever, my love

15. The letter.

1 day until the yule ball.

• Lilac's POV •

It's 8:30am on Christmas Eve morning and i'm currently running around the dorm in a panic.

Gosh it's freezing, i thought as i run over to the window to see that it snowed overnight. I shut the window and walk back over to the closet.

"Lilac, what on earth are you doing!" Cho yells.

"I've left everything to last minute!" I scream as i try to find my red dress that i specifically bought for Christmas eve dinner with the Weasley's.

Cho hops out of bed and runs towards to me.

"Lilac, breathe." Cho says as she shakes me. "You're a mess! let me help you."

"George and Fred are going to be here soon and i haven't even wrapped their presents yet!"

Cho walks over to my desk and grabs 2 small boxes with the Initials: G.W and F.W.

"What is it?" She peaks curiously.

"It's chokers with their initials engraved in the back." I explain.

She opens one of the boxes and gasped.

"Wow these are beautiful."

"I wanted to get something meaningful and long lasting for them."

"They are going to love it!" She yells.

"I'm going to shower i'll sort this out later." I say as she admires the gifts.

I hop into the shower and wash my hair, the warm water felt soothing against my cold skin.

"I FOUND IT!" I hear Cho's muffled scream from the room.

"Found what?" I ask as i hop out of the shower and ring out my wet hair.

She busts through the door. "This!"

"You've gotta stop doing that!" I gasp.

Cho hands me the red dress i've been looking for.

"Thankyou." I say before shutting the bathroom door.

I slip on some stockings before the dress and grabbed George's jacket, a small piece of paper fell out of the pocket with my name written on it.

Dear Lilac:

If you're reading this, congratulations you either found this before or after the yule ball (Let's hope you find it before).

Now, you might be wondering why i wrote this letter to you.
I've had trouble expressing my emotions to you directly and so i thought it would be better if i wrote it for you.
You see the thing is, it's never been 'just friends' between you and i.
Every wonderful and terrible moment we share together, melts me inside.

You're an incredibly independent young women but you let yourself be vulnerable with me and trust me beyond my comprehension.
I never imagined I would truly find another who I would want to spend a large amount of time with.

I love the way your cheeks go bright red in awkward situations, or how your hair falls perfectly on your face. Maybe it's your perfect smile or the way your eyes sparkle. 
I want you as much today, as i'll do tomorrow and as much as i did yesterday.

This is not just talk. It truly comes from the bottom of my heart.
I am consumed by the desire to be with you, to hold you, talk with you, laugh with you, cry with you. I want this forever.
Forever, my love.
