• Part 15 - Christmas •

I got Vaicey a dark green leather beret and I got a matching one, on the side of them they had a small little silver infinity charm.

I got Draco a ring, since he was collecting them...it was a coiling snake with black crystals all over it...I was terrified he wouldn't like it but at the same time it was just so...him.

I got Blaise a plain silver chain...not that he was plain but it would match his beautiful complexion so well.

I got Crabbe and Goyle some prank stuff they had always talked about getting more so I got them the really expensive stuff...it made me think of little I actually knew the both of them, they were very kind and protective but they just didn't talk much...they must just be shy.

My injury is fully healed, it's amazing what magic can do...although it did leave a bit of a scar but Our scars have the power to remind us that the past was real.

I rushed downstairs to the cold and empty common room.

And the tree was stuffed with gifts.

I was surprised at the lack of Slytherins...well not really...after all they are probably all stuck with their rich, snobby pure blood families.

Did that mean that all these presents...were for me?!

I've only ever had a card or a toy from a neighbour...but one time I got a little music box from an ex of Delilahs...it sung the most beautiful song in the world...in fact that's what made me want to become a singer back with Delilah but she just thought it was stupid.

I opened the gift from Vaicey first.

It was a gorgeous green dress that was made of silk and layers of fabric...V had told me how his mother made a bunch of fancy clothing so I could tell that this was made by his mother...it looked very short and would definitely show a lot of cleavage...I was obsessed with it.

Then I opened one from Blaise, it was a long black leather shirt with matching leather boots...his mother was basically the face of fashion in the wizarding world, so I knew that this was the good stuff.

The next present was from Crabbe and Goyle they had got me an extremely large bundle of pastries and cakes...they smelled amazing.

And the next was a small matte black box tied up with a velvet ribbon...this present looked
e x p e n s i v e , I opened it up to reveal a gorgeous silver necklace with a little diamond skull on the end! There was a note with it too...

To Lydia Riddle,

I'd like to thank you for making Hogwarts all the more magical, I thought that this school would be some pathetic school but then I saw you.

Love, Draco x

LOVE DRACO

I could faint, LOVE, did Draco Malfoy, the Slytherin Prince really give me a necklace and say LOVE.

This was the best present yet, I immediately put it on.

The diamond skull was perfect...it was so detailed and it sparkled so magically in the winter sun that shone through lake onto the Slytherin common room.

I couldn't wait to thank my friends for my gifts.

I made my way down to the great hall for some breakfast.

Not many people were here, mainly just the older kids.

Although Harry and Ron were here, I thought Ron would spend Christmas with his family...but I guess that wasn't the case.

I began to approach them, after all they were the only children here in my year.

And plus there wasn't any Slytherins so talking to a couple of Griffindors couldn't hurt that bad.

"Hey guys"

It's not like I was really friends with them, more like acquaintances.

After the troll situation where I saved there arses from detention They earned some respect for me.

"Oh Lydia, what's up?"

Harry's big green eyes gleamed up at me.

To think that he could have been dead if I didn't fail...terrified me.

"I'm just a bit bored that's all"

"Did you get any presents?"

"Yeah I got loads from my friends"

"Cool...guess what I got!"

"What?"

"An invisibility cloak!"

"W-what! Really! The invisibility cloak?!"

"Yeah!"

"Wicked right?!"

"Yeah, wicked"

We continued chatting about the stuff we got.

They really weren't that bad.

I almost felt guilty hanging out with them though.

After all it was practically illegal for a Griffindor and a Slytherin to get along.

But I really shouldn't be friends with them.

After all I'm the who's probably gonna end up killing them.
