Pansy had arrived early this morning and sat at the end of the bed, waiting for us to wake up. It was quite creepy, but Draco woke up and groggily waved as if it was just any other day.

She opened gifts with her folks this morning, and is going to spend the rest of the day at The Burrow. Blaise will be here at noon and by one o'clock we will floo together to have dinner with everyone.

It was Ginny and Draco's idea. Pansy is here for 'The Plan' and Blaise is here to convince her to come. The Weasley's are hosting everyone tonight, but only us teenagers will be staying the night. Hermione and Ginny will be in one room, Luna and Pansy will be together Ron and I will be in another, Fred and George will be in their room, Charlie is staying in Romania this year, Percy will not be attending the function, Bill and Fleur have their own room, and Draco and Blaise will share Percy's old room.

Mrs. Weasley sent out a letter telling us the room arrangements before break, but Ginny devised another plan. She decided that all of the couples, split or together, will share rooms. Draco is in charge of getting Hermione and Pansy alone together and locking the door, Luna will do the same with Ron and Blaise. And then our two couples can be together for the night, hoping that they all make up, because it's honestly hard to watch them all.

I pull myself out of my thoughts, seeing both Pansy and Draco staring at me. "Have a nice daydream Potter?" They laugh at me and I fake a glare towards her.

"Oh shove off Parkinson." I smile at her. "Now leave so can put some clothes on."

"You do know I'm gay right?" Draco giggles and I see that he put the Auditus in. Pansy notices too. "So I take it he liked it?" Draco nodded eagerly. "Did you like your gift too Scarface?"

I hold up my hand, flaunting the ring. "Absolutely" I say before Draco leans over to kiss me.

Pansy pretends to throw up, "okay, okay. I'll leave now. You're obsession over eachother disgusts me."

I look at Draco and we both laugh. I stand up and throw on some joggers and a robe, while Draco throws on a overly large t-shirt and readjusts his earpieces. I give him one last peck on the lips and we walk downstairs. A tiny Christmas tree sits in the corner of the kitchen, right behind the buffet of food Ms. Susanne had prepared. Pansy had already been seated and was digging in. Draco and I sat next to eachother on the opposite side of the table.

Mum(Mrs. Suzanne) came down, she obviously had just taken the curlers out of her hair. She was mumbling to herself before she noticed Draco and I. She rushed down to feed us. Placing two full plates infront of us, ruffling my hair and kissing Draco's forehead. After she walked away, Pansy spoke.

"So, she's your Godmother?"

Oh, no. You know my parents abandoned me, but I didnt have any family to go to. He sighed. They were either in jail or dead, so they dropped me off at the nearest orphanage. He stopped to eat some of his breakfast, gesturing to me to finish the story.

"Mum ran the orphanage, and when they went bankrupt, all of the kids were adopted; besides Draco. Mum was always fond of Draco, and decided to adopt him herself." Pansy nodded and continued eating her breakfast. Glancing over at my favorite blond, I couldn't help but notice his pleased face as he dug into his eggs. I reached over and placed my hand on his. He squeezed my hand three times, I did the same in return. We had come up with this secret way of saying 'I love you' to one another without saying anything at all.

After breakfast, Ms. Susanne guided us all over to the Christmas tree and began giving out the presents. Pansy helped with the gifts she brought, and we all started to dig in. The only presents left under the tree were the ones we would bring to The Burrow later today.

We opened Draco's presents first. A necklace for Mum, a gold comb for Pansy, and stuffed ferret for me.

Next was Mum's presents. Draco got a new collar for Litigo, whom Draco hadn't had the heart to tell mum that she died in the middle of our fifth year. But Draco also recieved a case of four new journals, which would last him roughly a month. And I received a thick blanket with a deer on it.

Pansy's presents were opened quickly, a set of Draco's favorite shampoo and conditioner for him, a beanie to "cover up your rat's nest of hair Potter", and a decorative glasses case for Mum.

It was time to open my presents, but we heard a small creaking and then a bundle of black dust and soot came through the fireplace. It was only Blaise. We had to hurry, or we'd be late to the party.

Mum opened up a sweater from me, and Pansy recieved some makeup brushes that Draco helped me pick out. Draco's last present was mine, but I told him to wait until tonight so that we could all go get ready.

An hour later, we all met up in the living room. Draco and I were wearing the sweaters Mrs. Weasley had made us last year, Draco was sporting a tight pair of skinny jeans, whereas I was wearing joggers. Pansy and Blaise were wearing their school colors, attempting to look as if they were happy for this christmas season, when they were both terrified to face the people they had been avoiding for too long.

We took turns taking the floo, slowly arriving in the living room of The Burrow. I accidentally landed on top of someone. "Oi!"

"Sorry Tonks! Traffic you know?" She laughed.

"S'okay Harry. But we better move before traffic hits us again." I laughed with her and reached out a hand to help her up."

Just as she said, if we would've stayed there a second longer, Draco would've landed on my head. Not that I mind but-

I helped my boyfriend stand up and brush myself off. I notice he has to readjust his hearing aids, before he grabs my hand. Molly spots us and rushes over. "Harry dear! Let me look at you!" She looks us up and down and notices something on my finger. "Oh... looks like you two are engaged? My how you've grown"

"What do I hear about my godson being betrothed?" Sirius mocked complete shock and swooped in for a hug. Ginny on the other hand immediately grabbed my wrist to study the ring.

"Draco did well"

"I know." It seemed like everyone in the room turned to look at Draco. He blushed at the sudden amount of attention. Molly looked at me. "Are you translating?" When I shook my head everyone looked more confused besides the few people who were in on the surprise.

"Thanks to a few good friends in the Ministry," I smiled at Arthur. "I got my hands on a pair of Auditus, and gave them to Draco for our Anniversary."

"I c-can hear!" He laughed and the entire room smiled.

The chatter in the Burrow grew louder until it was just Draco and I, surrounded by people, but also all alone. I glanced up. "Mistletoe." I smirked at him as I leaned in for a Christmas kiss. He smiled back as we broke apart.

"I love you Scarface"

"I love you too Ferret."
