Draco checked his bags one last time and it was driving Harry crazy. "Draco, you've checked ten times already, I'm sure you have everything."

Draco plumped down next to Harry. "I know but I need to make sure, I can't forget any presents. I already sent the Weasleys some presents and it hurt my balance and I'm sure they're confused." Draco sighed, "I'm sorry, I'm a mess."

Harry wrapped an arm around him and pulled his close. "I don't mind," he lied, "honestly. I just think you should relax. Tomorrow we're leaving and it may not be as perfect as you imagine in some aspects but it'll be our little perfect."

Draco nodded softly. "Pansy is coming with us. She doesn't have anywhere else to celebrate."

Harry nodded kissing Draco on the cheek. Draco chuckled and grabbed Harry's cheek examining the stubble. "You better shave for tomorrow. I want you to look neat. It's not that I don't like the way you look but I think it'll be a better impression."

Harry rolled his eyes playfully kissing Draco fully on the mouth. "I'll go shave right now."

Draco blushed, "I'm going to check on Pansy."

Draco asked around for Pansy and now found himself outside the Alex's dorm. Draco smiled shaking his head knowingly and knocked two times on the door.

Alex answered wearing a skirt with a sweater and thick wool socks and a cup in hand. The pin was now pointed at the She section and Draco made a note of that.

"Hello Draco, are you here for Pansy?" Alex stepped aside to let him pass by even if he didn't answer right away.

"Thank you, I like your outfit." Draco smiled at Alex and stepped in.

"You're sweeter than what people say." Alex smiled brightly at him. "Would you want some tea? You could say and talk if you want, you seem awfully stressed."

Draco nodded. "Only if I'm not interrupting anything."

"No, you're not interrupting. Besides I think it'll be nice to meet some of Pansy's friends." Alex handed Draco a cup of tea and sat down next to Pansy who hadn't spoken a word. "How are you two going to spend the holidays?"

Pansy leaned into Alex and Alex put an arm around her unconsciously. Draco smirked taking a sip from his tea. "We are going to be with my aunt and so is my boyfriend. You can come over any day if you want."

Alex shook her head lightly. "I don't know if I can. My family is very into our Jewish celebrations and I don't think they'll allow me to spend a day away. Don't get me wrong, they like being open to new ideas but also believe that we should all stay together for certain celebrations."

Pansy tugged on Alex's sweater to get her attention and mouthed something. Draco raised an eyebrow knowing Pansy wasn't normally this quiet.

"Pans, are you alright?"

Pansy shook her head and silently pleaded with her eyes for Alex to explain.

"Someone hit her with a silencing jinx and so she can't talk. We went to check if it was going to last long and it won't. Just 24 hours." Alex served Pansy more tea kissing her head as she handed it to her. "It was this morning, I'm sure she'll be fine and talking again by tomorrow."

Draco nodded and continued to change topics here and there until Pansy yawned. It was night but Pansy was exhausted from not being able to talk and would like a nap. Draco excused himself and Alex kissed his cheek goodbye and gave him a candy before carrying Pansy to probably the bed.

Draco walked around for a bit before going back to his dorm not finding Harry but instead finding a note on the coffee table.

I went last minute shopping with Ron

Draco sighed dramatically before going for his coat. If Blaise hadn't don't what he did, he would be hanging out with him. Now with him gone, his boyfriend hanging out with friends and Theo bangin Astoria, he didn't have anyone that wasn't a girl to hang out with. He carefully put his coat on and god a gift he neatly wrapped for Hagrid knowing Harry would appreciate him getting Hagrid something.

He slowly made his way through the snow to Hagrid's hut. Hagrid opened the door surprised to see Draco.

"Draco?" Hagrid asked.

Draco nodded and handed him a present. "Yeah." Hagrid eyed the gift suspiciously. "It's not a trick. Can I come in? I'm freezing out here."

Hagrid stepped aside and let the boy pass. He closed the door and carefully opened the present finding a copy of Newt's book.

"Open the cover." Draco mumbled.

Hagrid did as he was told and found the signature of the writer.
Draco told me you're a big fan, I hope you enjoy this and have a happy Christmas.

-Newt Scamander

"It was nothing, I just happened to write a lot of letters asking for this. Harry told me you'd like it." Draco gave him a tiny smile, awkwardly shifting.

"I appreciate this. I'm glad yer changing. Would you like some tea?"

Draco thought about it for a second, he already had tea a few minutes ago but he wanted to have some more. "I'd love to."

Draco must've stayed with Hagrid for at least an hour, enjoying the change of environment. Fang was asleep on his feet and he was by the fire with a big cup of tea.

He had apologised for everything he did and Hagrid accepted it kindly then proceeded to telling him about different types of animals he wanted. Draco listened intently making a few comments here and there about the different animals they talked about.

Suddenly there was a knock on the door and Harry and Ron came in once it was opened. Both boys surprised to see Draco with a cup of tea and with Fang asleep on his feet.

Draco didn't see them, he was facing the fire but he heard them. He didn't turn around avoiding any  questions. Instead he petted Fang lightly.

He heard Ron giving Hagrid a gift that both boys had bought for him. Ten he heard footsteps approaching him.

"Draco?" That was Ron's voice.

"Yes? What do you need?" Draco faced him.

"Just surprised to see you here." Ron commented.

Draco stood up putting on his coat and tried to get his feet from Fang but failing. "Would you be so kind and help me?"

Ron woke Fang up and helped Draco walk to Harry knowing he temporarily long the feeling on his feet from the big dog on them. Harry wrapped an arm around him and wished Hagrid a Happy Christmas before the three of them left.

"Why were you there?" Harry asked.

"Well you see, I had a gift to give him and then he invited me for some tea and we talked until you came." Draco fixed his coat. "I can walk now, thank you."

"I heard you were coming to my house for Boxing Day so if you say anything out of line I'll break your nose. It doesn't matter you're dating Harry."

Draco rolled his eyes, "I'm glad you still think that about me. Asshole." Draco stormed off leaving both Harry and Ron behind. He knocked on Hermione's door hoping she was there.

Hermione opened the door and immediately moved aside to let Draco pass by. "What's wrong?"

"I don't want to talk about it." Draco pouted.

Hermione sat down next to him and placed a blanket over their legs. "Was it Harry?" Draco shook his head lightly. "Come on, y'all to me."

"Do you think I'm evil?" Draco asked.

Hermione shook her head immediately. "I think you were a little rude but you've changed. You're not evil. If this is about the dark mark, I'll take you to a place so they can cover it up."

Draco nodded. "Thank you."

Hermione smiled at him brightly. "What are friends for?" She placed her feet over Draco's lap. "There's more to this. Tell me."

Draco sighed and let his head fall back. "Ron was an arse and Harry didn't say anything. I'm also nervous of tomorrow, what if he regrets coming with me? What if something happens and I screw things up with him?"

"Don't pay attention to Ron, he sometimes may talk without thinking. As for your worries with Harry, he loves you." Hermione stood up and went to the door. "I can assure you that he's about to knock right now." Hermione opened the door and Harry was there with his arm raised to knock. Hermione smirked and looked over to Draco, "I told you so."

Draco huffed and stood up facing Harry but not saying a word. Harry ran a hand through his hair, "I'm sorry for what Ron said. You have all the right to be mad about it but I don't want you to believe I don't trust you. I know you've changed and I should've stopped Ron from saying that."

Hermione pushed Draco lightly towards Harry. "Come on. Say you accept his apology."

Draco glared at Hermione playfully, "yeah yeah." He went to Harry and put his arms around his neck, "I forgive you."

Hermione clapped her hands together. "Alright, I'm hungry and tomorrow is going to be a long day so let's get to dinner and off to sleep."

Draco currently laid awake next to Harry who was snoring. He looked at his boyfriend and sighed getting up and stared out the window. He wore Harry's quidditch jersey because it was warm and it smelled like how he would smell after a nice steamy shower.

The problem was that Harry had fallen asleep and Draco didn't get the chance to cuddle up next to him, thus making him cold and unable to sleep.

He shivered even with a blanket around him. Once he was tired of that he walked back to bed and tapped on Harry's shoulder. "Harry." Draco whispered tapping him a few times.

Harry yawned and turned to look at his boyfriend. "Are you alright?" Draco shook his head. "Come here." Draco crawled to him with the blanket still around him. "You're freezing." Harry quickly grabbed other blankets around them and put them on Draco. Harry might be melting under them but he had to stabilise Draco. "Dray, I need to take your shirt off. It'll help you warm up with skin to skin contact. Can I do that?"

"I trust you." Draco said shivering.

Harry nodded and took off his own shirt first then Draco's and pulled his shivering body close. "It's ok. I got you. I'm here."

Slowly, Draco began to warm up and Harry began to be comfortable under the many blankets. "You should've woken me up earlier."

"Sorry."

Harry shook his head. "Why do you get so cold?"

Draco curled up into his boyfriend and sighed. "It's a side effect from many Crusiatus curses."

Harry held Draco tightly. "I'm sorry you had to go through that."

Draco shook his head. "You're with me now, I'll be ok. Sleep."

"Goodnight."

"Night."
