It's a Thanksgiving miracle!!!! This is an actual update not just splitting a chapter in half!!!!! I'm so sorry it took me so long to update. I was stuck on this part for the longest time. It's thanks to Denise0949 on Fanfiction.net that I even finished. She helped me with Draco's first gift to Harry. I hope what I am about to say makes you all happy. There will be steady updates every other thursday for a while. I have through chapter 9 finished and I'm nearly done with both ten and eleven. Although, and I hate to say it, but there might not be much after tha, unless I get a sudden burst of inspiration. I hope you all enjoy what I do have written and leave a few kind words about it. I really don't want to hear it if you're just going to flame me.
Christmas holidays had come and gone much quicker than either Harry or Draco wanted. They didn’t even do anything other than what they would normally do together. The biggest difference was that they spent every single moment with each other.
When Sirius and Remus arrived on Christmas Eve though, Draco had to make himself scarce. Harry had told him that he didn’t think Sirius would take it too well that he was friends with a Slytherin, let alone a Malfoy.
So for nearly two days the blonde sat in his room, brooding. Every so often he found himself chuckling at the thought that he had gotten so close to the wonderful brunette. Also that he even missed Harry as much as he did. It was a completely new feeling for him.
Sometime after 8:00 pm on Christmas, after Harry's godfathers had left, Draco looked up from the book he was attempting to distract himself with to see the object of his thoughts standing at the opposite end of the couch. In his hands was a box wrapped in shiny red paper with snitches zooming around.
Draco immediately discarded his book on an end table and motioned for Harry to sit next to him. A shy smile graced his lips as the raven-haired boy moved and sat down.
“And what do you have there?” The blonde asked, gesturing to the item in Harry's hands.
A tinge of pink adorned his cheeks as Harry said, “It’s your Christmas present.” He handed it to the other with lightly shaking hands. “I hope you like it.”
“I’m sure I will.” Draco said as he pulled the paper off.
The small, rectangular object in his hands was… confusing to say the least.
“Harry you don’t really think I’m that vain, do you?” He asked softly, waving the small mirror a bit.
Harry couldn’t help but turn bright red at the chide, though it wasn’t meant to be. He shook his head and pulled an identical mirror out of his robes.
“It’s so we can talk to each other when we’re not together.” Harry explained. “You say my name and you can see me and I can see you. Sirius gave me this one last year. I wrote him a letter a few days ago and asked him if I could have his so I could give it to someone. He seemed rather excited about it. I think he thought it was for a boy.”
Draco glanced down at his crotch. “I’m not a boy?” He asked, feigning confusion. The smaller boy giggled a little as the blonde started laughing. “I love it, Harry.”
He got up and carefully placed the mirror on his bedside table. He opened the drawer and pulled something out. When he came back, he was holding a gift for the other. It was a very small box wrapped in shimmering blue paper.
Harry took the box and slowly opened it. Under the paper was a black velvety jewelry box. He opened it and gasped. It was a silver pendant on a long chain set with a ruby and an emerald in the center.
“Ironically, my gift to you is also part of a set.” Draco said as he pulled something out of his pocket. He opened his hand to reveal a ring made of the same type of metal with the same jewels set into it.
“May I?” Draco asked, gesturing to the necklace. Harry nodded and handed it to him.
The blonde took it and put it around Harry's neck. The chain was so long that the pendant was more than half way down his torso.
“I really do like it.” Harry started, “But doesn’t it look a bit silly being so long?” He asked.
“It’s adjustable.” Draco said as he reached behind Harry's neck and shortened it. “It’s not really for being looked at. You need to be able to feel it so you should probably keep it under your robes.” He finished.
Harry did as the other suggested and slipped the pendant between his robe and his shirt. “Whoa.” He said when it suddenly started vibrating. He pulled it back out and noticed that the emerald was also glowing.
“What’s this?” He asked.
Draco held up the ring. His index finger was pressed against the ruby. “They have a charm on them.” He said as he let go of the red gem. Harry looked down at his pendant and watched as the glow faded and the vibrating stopped.
“Touch the emerald on yours.” He said. Harry did so and saw the ruby on Draco's ring light up. He assumed it vibrated as well.
“The next time that prick touches you…” Draco held the pendant for a moment. “That’s all you have to do and I will do whatever I have to stop him.” He said heatedly.
Harry took the pendant back and put it under his robes. “Thanks, Draco.” He said quietly. He looked up at the blonde with tears shimmering in his bright green eyes and threw himself on him.
Draco hugged him back for a moment before the teary-eyed brunette sat up. “You have no idea what this means to me.” Harry said as he wiped his eyes before the tears could fall.
“I think I know.” He replied. After all he had seen Harry at his worst four times now. He thought it would be nice to see him at his best now and soon.
“How much did it cost?” Harry suddenly asked.
“Why does it matter?” He asked.
Harry looked down at his fidgeting fingers. “I just… I feel bad that I didn’t spend anything on your gift.” He said.
“I spent weeks in the library trying to figure what to do so you could contact me if you needed to. I wanted it to be inconspicuous but not something you’d forget. It took me several more days after that to get the damn charms right.
“During all that, I had to figure out how to get the money from my mother without her asking too many questions. And I’m not going to lie to you Harry; I did pay a lot for it. But I would have paid twice what I did.” Draco said, finishing with a bright smile.
The pair sat in a pleasant silence before Draco broke it by saying, “I actually have something else for you too. I’m just not sure if I should give it to you yet.”
“Well you can’t tell me that and then not give it to me!” Harry said excitedly. He didn’t want to seem selfish but having gotten very few gifts in his life, he really liked getting them.
Draco thought about it for a moment. He really wanted to give it to him but he thought it might be a little too soon. The look on Harry's face though, he knew he didn’t have a choice but to give it to him.
“Alright.” Draco said as he stood up from the couch. “But it’s not wrapped.”
Harry excitedly watched Draco go back over to his nightstand and open the drawer again. He tried to see what he picked up but the blonde kept it well hidden.
“You’re sure you want it?” Draco asked when he sat back down. “If you don’t like it, you can’t blame me for it.”
“Just give it to me.” Harry demanded.
“If you’re going to be like that…” Draco teased, crossed his arms, and looked away from the adorably shocked brunette.
Harry rolled his eyes and sighed. “Can I please have it?” He asked.
Draco smiled and reached behind him to grab whatever it was he had for Harry. “Close your eyes.” He said before he revealed it.
Green eyes closed and their owner held out his hands as well. A piece of fabric was placed in them. He felt it for a minute trying to figure out what it was but he had absolutely no idea what it could have been.
“You can look now.” Draco said with a chuckle.
Harry opened his eyes and looked at the object in his hands. It was a red and yellow striped onesie. He wanted to cry. It was the best gift he had ever gotten, even if it wasn’t technically for him.
“Harry, are you ok?” Draco asked when he saw the tears.
“Thank you.” He said and threw his arms around the blonde’s neck.
Draco wrapped his arms around the other and held him until they were both nearly asleep. At that point, they moved their cuddling to the bed and fell into a peaceful sleep.
