Narcissa welcomed the six teens as they flooed into Malfoy Manor. She had asked them to come early so half of them were stifling yawns. She found I a little amusing seeing as Draco and Harry had been awake for hours. They were in the kitchen. Harry insisted on preparing their Christmas meal. He had woken up at 3 to start cooking everything he prepared the day before. Draco woke up at 5 in a very bad mood because Harry wasn't there. Narcissa had woken up early because she was just an early riser. She had just walked out of her room to see an unhappy Draco marching down the stairs mumbling to himself.

"Good morning sweetheart." She mused.

Draco stopped and looked at her. His cheeks turning a little pink. He smiled at her and uttered his "good morning" before walking down the stairs faster. Narcissa always teased him for being moody whenever Harry left him to sleep.

"You could have said you would be in the kitchen."

"Good morning to you too Dray."

"I had to search the manor just to find you." Draco exaggerated with a huf.

"And one of the house elves probably told you I was here before you searched the other lounge." Harry grinned. "Come on Dray do I have to apologize? I did make you breakfast."

Draco chewed his lip trying to stop the smile from showing. He was hungry, but he wouldn't let Harry get him like that. Harry laughed and set a plate in front of Draco. He kissed Draco's cheek and went back to cooking. Draco gave in, he smiled and thanked Harry before digging in.

It was now 8:30. Blaise was the last one to stumble through the floo. He stretched out and gave Narcissa a big smile. He greeted her and his other friends. Then they all sat down and started chit chatting.

"Where's Harry and Draco?"

"Well..." Narcissa started.

"Right here. Hey guys." Harry said with a smile.

He was carrying four plates, two were balanced on his forearms. He walked over to Narcissa saying good morning to her and giving her a kiss on the cheek. Then he placed the four plates in front of Narcissa, Blaise, Hermione and Pansy. Draco walked in after him with three plates floating behind him. He greeted the others and gave Neville, Dean and Seamus their food. Harry shook his head at Draco and told their friends he was going back to the kitchen.

"Draco aren't you going to eat too?" Pansy asked.

"Pansy dear Harry has probably already given him his breakfast. After all he was a rather grumpy kitten this morning." Narcissa smiled.

"Mother!" Draco gasped looking scandalous.

He huffed and marched off. Everyone else started laughing. The floo fired up again at 8:50 and Severus Snape walked over to the table. As soon as he sat down a plate appeared in front of him. He raised an eyebrow at Narcissa and she shrugged. He greeted the others and they all spoke about anything that came to mind. Harry and Draco joined them again around 10. Harry still had his apron on.

*~*

"The food was absolutely delicious Harry!"

Harry blushed. "Thanks Pansy."

Pansy grinned. It was 8:45 pm. Everyone was sitting around in the lounge close to the fire. Narcissa and Severus were seated on the only couch directly facing the fire. Everyone else was sitting on the floor wherever they felt more comfortable. Blaise was propped  up against an armchair and Hermione was leaning against him. Dean was laying across Pansy's lap. Neville and Seamus were laying on their backs. Draco was laying down with his head in Harry's lap while Harry was playing with his hair.

"Draco sweetheart why don't you sing." Narcissa suggested.

"Hmmm can't." Draco hummed his eyes closed.

Harry laughed. "I can stop playing with your hair."

Draco's eyes shot open. "Don't you dare."

Everyone else started laughing. Harry shrugged and stopped anyway earning a glare from Draco. Then Harry suggested they open their presents. So they did exactly that.

Narcissa was first. She had gotten a charm bracelet from Draco and extra charms from Harry. Neville gave her a bunch of flower seeds, having found out from Draco that she liked gardening. Blaise got her a high-end jewelry box. Hermione got her a few pieces of jewelry, nothing too fancy, that she could wear on the daily. Pansy and Dean put together a holiday trip for two. Their intended purpose was very clear. Seamus had gotten her a box of cookies. Severus stated that his present would be given later.

Severus was next. No one really knew what to give him so they all bought different potion books, rare ingredients, and a few tools. Well Harry was the only one who had gotten something else. He shifted on the spot before handing the box to Severus. He avoided eye contact as much as possible. Severus raised an eyebrow then lifted the top of the box. He didn't take it completely off, it was lifted enough for him to see part of the gift. It was an enchanted lily and he could see something else under the plant. He carefully pulled it out and when he realized what it was he was shocked. The expression clear all over his face. Now everyone was curious.

"I just thought that..."

"It's perfect Harry thank you so much." Severus said.

"Severus Snape said thank you!" Pansy shrieked.

Everyone laughed. Severus shook his head and gently set the box aside. Hermione was next. Everyone but Blaise had bought her the latest version of the books she enjoyed. Blaise had gotten her a necklace. There was a star shaped pendant and an infinity sign. On the star had 'Love forever' engraved on it and the infinity sign was engraved with 'Blaise Zabini'. Hermione smiled and kissed Blaise as a thank you.

Seamus and Neville decided to open their presents together. Dean and Pansy had given them their own holiday trip. Harry and Draco had gotten Neville some plants and Seamus had the pots to plant them. Blaise and Hermione got them a couple of suits. Severus gave them both books. Narcissa got them both a bunch of fireworks and chocolates.

"I... ahhh... I have one more thing." Neville stuttered. He stood up taking Seamus with him. "You said I should... well when I asked you the first time, you said I should ask again at Christmas so..." He got down on one knee. "I really want to spend the rest of my life with you Seamus. Will you marry me?"

Everyone waited for Seamus to answer. Seamus dropped down to his knees and took the ring from the box. He slipped it on his finger and chewed his lip.

"We'll have to get this resized it's a bit big for my hand. We can do it at the end of school. And if you haven't caught on yet. Yes I will be delighted to marry you Neville." Seamus smiled.

Blaise and Dean wolf-whistled as everyone else clapped. They congratulated the couple and went on with the gifts. Dean, Blaise and Pansy opened their gifts one after the other. Dean recieved a few muggle based gifts from his Gryffindor friends, Hermione, Harry and Seamus laughing as he held the items up in question.

"We will explain later." They said.

He got some ministry books from Severus and Narcissa. Neville and the rest gave him a variety of sweets. Blaise received quidditch gear from most of them. Draco and Pansy gave their gifts together with very questionable grins. When Blaise opened them he realized why. He quickly hid the gifts with a red tinge on his face. Then he opened Hermione's gift. It was a nice looking watch with its own engraving on underneath. 'Forever connected in time.'

Pansy's gifts from Draco and Blaise were similar to the ones her and Draco gave Blaise. She choked a bit and did what Blaise had done, quickly moving on to the other presents. Except they weren't any better. Narcissa, Severus and Harry gave her baby stuff causing the whole group to burst out laughing. Neville and Seamus gave her a list of baby names and some chocolates and other stuff. Hermione's and Dean's gifts were probably the best ones out of the group. Hermione had gotten her a journal and a few different magic quills. Dean had gotten her a few pieces of jewelry.

Harry and Draco were the last to get their presents. Draco received a list of properties he now owned along with other stuff spoken about in his father's last will and testament (which Narcissa tricked Lucius into changing). Narcissa also gave him a little box with a wink. Deciding he didn't want to be embarrassed he put it aside and opened the gift from Severus. Severus gave Draco copies of all his potions notes and books. Knowing Draco wanted to be a potions master himself. Pansy and Blaise kept their little Slytherin joke going with their gifts making Draco turn three shades of red. Hermione gave him a journal as well for making his own notes on potions. Dean, Neville and Seamus just opted to giving him a bunch of sweets and cookies.

"So umm... this is only half of your gift from me." Harry said scratching his neck.

Draco raised an eyebrow and took the little box. Inside was a necklace. It had a tiny snake pendant that looked a little worn. It did shine magically in the light of the fire. Like it's whole design was for that specific purpose.

"I... enchanted it so when we're apart we can still talk to each other." Harry explained.

"How?" Draco asked.

Harry pulled out another box and showed Draco a similar necklace with a lion head instead of a snake. Draco smiled and quickly put the necklace on. He asked what the other half was and Harry just shrugged. Since it was Harry's turn for presents Draco blocked their friends from handing him their's.

"It's Christmas. So what do you want for Christmas?" Draco asked raising an eyebrow.

Harry smiled. "I'll tell you when I'm done opening your gifts."

"How do you know it's plural?" Draco crossed his arms.

"Because, you're Draco Malfoy. You've been constantly asking me that question for 6 months." Harry said confidently.

Draco huffed and let him open the presents. Hermione had gotten him a few business books. Neville gave him a new broom. Seamus and Dean gave him sweets and cookies. Pansy gave him something she said he should only open when he was alone. Raising an eyebrow he put it aside. Blaise gave him a bunch of puzzles and games.

"A younger version of you told me you were never given the chance to play games." Blaise shrugged.

"Well the older version of me really appreciates this. Thanks Blaise." Harry smiled.

Then Draco handed him all 10 gifts he had bought. The first two were clothes. The next three were pieces of jewelry. 6 and 7 were Harry's favorite sweets. 8 and 9 were stuff Harry could use for Adriana. 10 made Harry blush and quickly tuck the item into his pocket. Draco raised an eyebrow at Harry.

"So?"

"Man you're very demanding."

"Well it's obvious I didn't know what to get you because you didn't tell me what you wanted. How am I supposed to know if..."

"You." Harry cut Draco off. "I just want to be able to spent time with you. You gave me that today. I couldn't ask for anything more. All I want for Christmas is you."
