The small family starts walking towards Flourish and Blotts, a bookstore in Diagon Alley where most people go to get their school books. Harry and Draco were unaware of the person slowly approaching them. Of course, Severus and Lucius could see them but decided to stay quiet. 

The twins were talking excitedly about their wands when all of a sudden Draco's eyes were covered causing him to jump in his spot. Harry smirks as he notices who it was.  

Draco turns around and smiles, "Blaise".

Blaise smiles as he wraps his arms around Draco in a tight hug. The boy was a close friend of the twins', a dark-skinned boy with high cheekbones and slanted eyes. Harry smiled at the two, knowing exactly how the boys felt about each other.  

Draco releases from the hug, "How was Italy?".

He smiles at his friend, "It was wonderful, Draco. It was definitely a different experience not seeing you almost every day".

Harry jumps over, "What am I, invisible?".  

Blaise laughs and rubs Harry's head, "Don't worry, I didn't forget about you, Hades. In fact...". He reaches into his shoulder bag and grabs a wrapped present, "...this is for you".

Harry excitedly takes the present and starts to open it. Ripping back the wrapping paper, he smiles widely as he sees what's inside.

Blaise smiles, "It's a book on ancient Italian creatures. I know you've been wanting to learn more about different countries".  

Harry runs up and hugs him, "Thank you, thank you, thank you".

He releases from the hug and runs over to his father, showing him the book.

Blaise turns to Draco, "And of course...". He grabs another smaller wrapped gift, "...I had to get something for you".  

Draco tries to hide his blush as he takes the gift. He starts tearing the paper, revealing a small black, velvet box. Looking at Blaise confused, he opens up the box and gasps at what's inside.

He places his hand over his mouth, "Blaise...you didn't".  

Sitting inside the box was a gold necklace. The pendant was of a silver dagger with a gold snake wrapped around it.  

Blaise smirks, "I remember you saying you wanted to get some jewellery and I know how much you love snakes, so as soon as I saw this I immediately thought of you"

Draco blushes and looks up, "Thanks, Blaise".

The two give each other a big hug and Blaise reaches for the necklace. Draco hands it to him, who proceeds to walk behind him and place it around his neck. Blaise claps it together and walks back over as Draco holds it to his heart, smiling sheepishly.

Someone decides to interrupt the moment, "Alright, lovebirds, we need to finish shopping before the sun goes down".

Draco blushes with embarrassment, "Sev!".

A/N: 

I need some suggestions as to who to ship Harry with. Right now I'm thinking of going with the Weasley twins but I'm not 100% sure. 

Hope you all are having a wonderful holiday.
