Presents

(Ms.) Weasleys gifted a handmade Slytherin themed winter hat and matching gloves. I also received a long letter that said how they all missed me and to write back soon.

Ron, I believe, was the one to send a chocolate frog along with the Weasleys package.

The Twins sent me Instant Darkness Powder with a discount card to Weasleys Wizarding Wheezes shop. Apparently the twins opened up a joke shop in Diagon Alley, it's popular too which I'm not surprised about.

The Grangers (Hermione), gave me a book series they thought I would like along with one of those family holiday cards with the pictures of them. Mione wrote me a personal letter saying how she misses her sister and study partner. I teared up on that one, Draco saw my sadness and kissed my forehead which didn't help and ended up with me curled into his chest will I cried silently and reread the letter.

Sirius sent me a enchanted mug that keeps its contents hot since he knows how much I love hot chocolate in front of a fire during winter, or whenever I feel. He also sent me a threat that said to call him or he might come here himself. I'll do that later.

Lupin and Tonks sent me a box of cookies which I think Tonks made. Then a letter which was definitely by Lupin who also threatened me to call Sirius or else they will break into Hogwarts with him.

Cedric just sent me a simple letter which I appreciate, he said he misses me, I miss him too but... He is still with Cho and is working at the Ministry from ground once since he didn't want special privileges because his father works there.

Narcissa send me a bathing liquid that makes feathers soft unlike how my shampoo does. Then there was a split gift between Draco and her which was... a, it's a soft veil that draped over the wings and kept them warm. I dont know how but it's enchanted to keep my wings warm even though it is see through and thin. Draco said we will test it out later.

Snape sent me various books on Legilimancy in hopes they will help me learn control, he loves giving out work. Out of all the gifts his made me most nervous because they looked really old and fragile. He also didn't say if they were permanently mine or if there was a time period until I had to give them back. All I know is that now I have extra homework from Snape. --------

"There's one more." Draco said as he reached in his pocket.

"Draco." He handed me a small box, I took it.

"It's not expensive." He put his arm behind me and leaned me to his chest. "Go on."

I opened the small box and revealed two rings, simple bands, one black and one foggy crystal.

Draco fiddled with the sleeve of my sweater telling me he was nervous. "It's not an engagement ring."

I looked at him, his nerves showing with his eyes. "A promise ring." Draco nodded and looked to his lap, I smiled and took out the larger black ring. "Draco Lucius Malfoy." He looked at me. "Will you wear this ring to tell the world that your heart belongs to another and that you're devoted to protecting and nurturing that relationship?"

Draco smiled softly. "Yes." I smiled and turned to his hand that was on my shoulder then slipped it on his ring finger. "Olivia Seraphina Solace." I turned back around, Draco looked at me softly and held up the foggy crystal ring. "This ring will show that not only are you mine but I am yours. Not just as a couple but as a best friend... Someone I chose and chose me."

I smiled. "Yes." Draco relaxed and slid the ring onto my finger. "I love you, Draco."

Draco leaned forward and kissed me. "I love you too, Solace." He pulled me back into his chest, I stared at the rings on our fingers. "Thank you."

I wrapped my arm around his waist. "I didn't get you anything."

Draco lifted my chin up. "You don't have to. You are enough, you make me happier then I've ever felt. You are the greatest gift I've ever received."

I moved up an pecked his cheek. "It's annoying when you take the words out of my mouth and use them as yours." Draco smiled, I smiled and looked at the presents on the table. "What should I do Draco?"

Draco rubbed my back. "You should call them." I looked up at him. "I don't know how but I'm sure you have your ways. You use to be happier when they were apart of your life."

"I'm happy."

Draco smiled softly. "I'm glad you are but it isn't the same." I sighed and looked back at the presents. "And as much as I don't like it you should write back to Diggory."

I smirked. "Jealous much?" Draco tsked, I looked up at him. "I promise that as soon as I learned Diggory was thinking about dating me I turned him down. We are only friends, plus he is dating Cho still. You read the letter, you know."

Draco sighed. "I know... Doesn't mean I like him." He huffed, I smiled, he kissed my forehead. "You should go call, or write."

I looked back to the fireplace. "What would I even say?"

"You haven't spoken in months. You should have plenty to tell them." Draco brushed his fingers through my hair. "Just don't bring up anything about the tasks given to us."

"I'm not stupid." I huffed.

"I know." Draco said softly. "Go on, Solace." I sat up and looked at him with a limp face, Draco picked up my hand with the ring and kissed it. "Go on. I'll be here."

I nodded. "I'll be back." I got up and left his room, then went to my room and entered to an abandoned cold space. "This was a waste of a room."

I walked to the dresser drawer and took out the mirror, then I moved to the fireplace and used my wand to start the fire.

I sat down in front of the fireplace and held the mirror up. "Just call them."

I took a deep breath and opened the mirror, then shut it. (What if they hate me? I cut them off last time... They don't hate me. They told me to call them... I miss them. I wish Voldemort never came back.)

I opened the mirror and saw myself. "Alright.." I cleared my throat. "Sirius Black." (This is a bad idea.. Such a bad idea.)

Sirius's face appeared in the mirror. "Hello, Olivia." He smiled softly.

I smiled slightly. "Hi, Sirius... I got the gift and letter. Smart thinking with the mug."

Sirius smiled brighter. "I thought you would like it... How are you?"

"I'm good. The same."

Sirius slightly raised a brow. "That's not I heard." I looked at the promise ring. "I'm glad to see you are happy."

I looked back at him and stopped the smile that formed. "There's a butt isn't there?"

Sirius sighed. "I just wish you would be careful... Malfoys are not good people."

"If I remember correctly the Blacks aren't either." Sirius frowned, I sighed. "Sorry. I'm just trying to say you aren't the only one who can stray from your families beliefs."

"You're saying Draco Malfoy is now a muggle lover after all these years?" Sirius raised a brow.

"He's getting better, Sirius. He's not- Can we not talk about how much you despise Draco, please. I already get hateful glared from everyone and I don't need you starting with me."

Sirius nodded. "Alright. Someone wants to say hello." I nodded, Sirius looked away and moved.

Lupin walked on screen. "How's my favorite student?"

I rolled my eyes. "Sorry but someone resigned." Lupin smiled softly. (They are both acting like one sudden movement and I will disconnect the call.)"Are you still stuck babysitting Sirius?"

"Hey." Sirius huffed. "He's not-."

"Yes." Lupin smiled, Sirius glared at him. "He is terrible hard to handle. I'm trying to figure out how you kept him busy."

I smiled softly. "Chess, lots and lots of chess." Lupin smiled, Sirius smiled sadly. "Hows Tonks?"

"Right here." Tonks moved in front of Lupin. "Did you get my cookies?" I nodded, she smiled. "Well?"

I smiled. "That were delicious. Draco almost ate all of them before I had to force them away from him." I chuckled under my breath. "I think he was deprived of homemade muggle desserts."

"You seem happy with Draco." Tonks winked, I nodded. "How long have you dated?"

I felt my cheeks heat up. "Second day of school.. It's crazy I know, but he cares about me and likes me, he's kind and sweet. Funny too, has a sense of humor."

"Are you talking about the same Draco Malfoy?" Sirius scoffed.

Tonks turned to him. "Shut it." She turned back around. "Go on." She smiled softly.

I looked at my promise ring. "I know you guys only see him as a Malfoy... But he's not like that, not really. Draco truly with all of his heart cares for me and I care about him."

"Olivia?" Lupin said softly. "We are all glad you are happy..." He put his hands in his pocket which told me that this was turning serious. "Harry's been sending letters to Sirius."

I looked at Sirius who had a serious expression, I smiled forcefully. "Let me guess. Harry Potter says Draco is a Death Eater."

Lupin nodded slowly. "Yes, that was mentioned in the letter... It also mentioned Snape working with Draco... And Draco cursing Katie Bell."

(How does Harry know these things?) I huffed a laugh. "You know what's funny. I get letters saying 'Call us, we want to talk to you'. But when I get here all you talk about is how horrible my boyfriend is and rumors Potter made."

Lupin and Sirius looked at me sadly. "Olivia we know you trust Malfoy but we need to-."

I scoffed. "If you need to then why don't you ask your friend Dumbledore who you put on a pedestal?" There brows furrowed, I smiled annoyedly. "You all are blind while your leader has all of the answers you could ever want."

"What do you mean Llivia?"

"Dumbledore knows everything yet tells you nothing." I closed the mirror. "Friends?" I scoffed and threw the mirror onto the couch before I walked back out of my room and to Draco's.

When I entered Draco looked away from his book. "How was... it." I walked over and laid down on his lap, Draco brushed my head. "Not good?"

I wrapped my arm around his legs. "There letters might have said they wanted to talk to me but all the actually wanted to do it talk about you."

Draco sat down his book. "You didn't... tell them anything, right?"

"No."

Draco breathed out and relaxed. "Give them time. They are just worried right now."

"As they should be." I sighed. "I didn't know what I was expecting from that call."

Draco rubbed my arm. "Why don't we go get lunch then test out the wing warmer."

I turned to him and smiled. "Snowball fight?"

Draco smiled softly. "Only this once since you had a bad call." I sat up happily, Draco shook his head. "I'm going to regret this."

"No. I'll go easy on you."

I stood up and grabbed the new Weasley hat and gloves, changed to a warmer sweater, put on the boots and scarf then the wings warmer.

I turned back to Draco, he shocked me with a kiss. "Beautiful."

I blushed and grabbed his hand. "And you are handsome. Now let's go." I pulled him out the door.
