The two week break was coming to an end and I can't believe I am saying this, but I wish it wouldn't.

I mean don't get me wrong, I can't wait to see George, but the two weeks here had be actually fun. It was nice to not have to worry about classes or schoolwork.

It was now Christmas morning and I was setting on my bed sealing a letter to George.

It would be the last letter I would send before I would actually see him again. I hear a knock on my door followed by a familiar patch of blonde hair, one nowadays I didn't mind seeing.

Draco steps into the room grinning devilishly with a large lavender box in hand.

"What is that?" I ask pointing to the box as I sit up.

He walks over and extends it out towards me," It's for you, Merry Christmas," he replies.

I take the box out of his hands and sit it on the bed, "You shouldn't have got me anything," I tell him. He only shrugs in response.

I reach out untying the bow, the box itself looked extremely expensive.

I take off the lid to reveal a soft dark blue fabric. I pick the silk fabric letting it unravel into a beautiful gown.

"It's beautiful," I state astonished as I held it out in front of me.

"That's not all, look in the box again," he says drawing my attention from the dress back down to the box that sat on the bed.

I move back the wrapping paper to find a small velvet box. I glance at Draco who was smiling as I opened it.

Inside was a necklace with my favorite stone, Lapis Lazuli.

"How did you know I like this stone?" I ask curiously as I held it out.

"Your mother told me."

He reaches his hands out and he takes the necklace, "Let me."

I spin around and move my hair from my neck.

*************************************************************************************

Draco....

She moved her hair aside to let me put the necklace around her neck.

I knew this was a good idea, finding something that she would like.

I felt like I had made a lot of progress over the course of the break. Sometimes I thought I would lose my patience but somehow I managed to continue on.

I clasp the necklace and take her hair from her hands and let it fall back into place.

She turns back around to face me, "I can't believe you got this, it must have been expensive," she states as she reaches up and touched the stone.

"It was no big deal," I reply, "I'm glad you like it."

"But I feel bad, I didn't get you anything," she says frowning.

"It's nothing to feel bad about," I tell her, "But if you wanted to give me something in return, I have an idea."

******************************************************************

Leianna....

Oh no, he couldn't have just implied that.

"Draco.." I warn him, "I don't think so."

He looked at me stunned, then his smirk widened, "As good as that sounds, I wasn't implying you to kiss me or something."

I tilt my head waiting curiously.

"I was actually going to remind you of something you agreed to a while back," he explains.

I looked up at him even more confused, what had I agreed to?"

"Do you remember when I covered for you and I made you promise to go on a date with me?" he asks.

I narrow my eyes recalling the memory, "Yes, I remember."

"Well, I was wondering if I could take you out, you could wear the dress and..."

I cut him off, "Draco I thought we were done talking about this, we agreed to just be friends."

"Well don't look at it as a date then," he replies, "Look at it as a night out with a friend that happens to take place a nice restaurant."

I smile, "Then lets not call it a date at all, let's say we are going to eat dinner."

"Call it what you like," he replies, "But would you go?"

"Dinner, I will go," I smile, "But not as a date."

He nods, "Very well, dinner it is."

*********************************

Draco....

I couldn't believe I talked her into going out with me, I thought she would have refused the offer.

I button the cuff on my sleeve and look at my appearance in the mirror. Once I approved of myself I turn and see my mother standing behind me.

"Where are you going?" 

I reach for my coat and slip it over my shoulders,  "Out with Leianna for dinner."

"I don't understand why you would like someone like her," she states coming up beside of me.

"What's not to understand about it, I thought you would like her. She is, after all, a pureblood," I retort.

"Yes well, her family as changed since her father's death."

"What are you talking about?" I question her growing irritated.

"Well for one thing look at how she speaks of befriending mudbloods, like its okay."

"And that's her fault?" I question her.

"No,I suppose not. She should have been taught at a young age," she says letting out a breath, "I just want the best for you." She smooths out the wrinkles of my coat and smile. 

"I know and trust me she is," I assure her.

"If you say so, just let me know when you return." She turns and makes her way out of the room.

Once she was gone, I place my wand in the side pocket of my coat and turn towards the door. Hopefully tonight will be more promising the last few days.

Leianna...

I glance at my reflection, enjoying how I felt in the soft material of the dress. The neckless that was gifted to me was what stood out the most. With my curls up, it was the main focus point on my tan skin. 

I reach for my coat that laid on the bed and slip it on. Pretty or not, I wasn't walking out of this cabin in only the dress, it was too cold for that.

I walked out the door, closing it behind me.

"It's about time." I jump and turn to see Draco leaning against the banister.

"You scared me to death," I tell him placing my hand over my heart, "Why are you just standing out her like that?"

"Waiting for you," he replies, "You ready to go?"

I nod and smile, "Yes."

I follow him down the staircase towards the entrance of the cabin.

"So where exactly are we going?" I ask him as we descend down the stairs.

"It's a surprise."

"More surprises?" 

He only smiles and opens the door, the night air blowing across my face.
