The Price of Love • Draco Malfoy [COMPLETED]

Chapter 5

[DRACO'S POV]

"Draco. Wait" I heard Skylar call me back. Before I had fully turned around, she ran to me and, before I knew it, she was kissing me. I'm not going to lie, it wasn't bad. If anything, it was good. No, it was better than good; it was amazing! Even though it was only a short kiss, I definitely felt something and I couldn't help but wonder if she did, too.

When Skylar pulled away, she had a small blush creeping onto her cheeks that I couldn't help but smile at. A real, genuine smile. Wow, it's been forever since I've had a real smile on my face. She stuttered her thanks without meeting my eyes and walked away.

I was in complete and utter shock. Skylar Smith just kissed me. I'm almost positive it didn't mean anything, though. It was just one of those spur-of-the-moment type things because she was happy, right? Of course it was; she could never like me. What did it matter, anyway? It's not like I like her; she's a Gryffindor.

[SKYLAR'S POV]

I was so embarrassed. 'Why had I don't that? Stupid stupid stupid!' I thought to myself as I literally smacked myself for being so idiotic. 'Why would I ever kiss Draco Malfoy? He probably thinks I'm absolutely mental now. Great.'

I decided that I had spent enough time outside, since I couldn't feel my fingers or toes. I jogged back to the castle and was greeted by the wonderful warm air surging around my body. Back in the common room, I stripped off my outer wear, put my comfortable sweats on, and cozied up in my favorite blanket in front of the fireplace.

I started thinking about Draco again. Dang it. Why did I kiss him? He's going to think I like him! Oh no.

"Skye, is that you?" came a voice from above me, causing me to jump. I leaned my head backwards and saw Neville.

"Bloody hell, Neville! You scared me!" I yelled at him and immediately regretted it.

"Oh, Im terribly sorry.. I-I didn't mean to" Neville stuttered. I had always liked Neville; even though he was kind to everyone and extremely quiet, he was constantly bullied. He just had to work on his social skills and maybe people wouldn't think he was so ... weird.

"Do you mind if I sit?" he asked quietly. I pat the cushion next to me, signaling for him to sit on the sofa. "Have you opened your presents yet?" I shook my head. "Neither have I! I-If you'd want to, we could open them together!"

I smiled and nodded my head enthusiastically. "Sure Neville, that sounds great! I was planning on opening them tonight, since I thought I was the only Gryffindor that stayed here for the holidays. Grab your presents and meet me back here in five!" I told him cheerfully.

I reluctantly left the warmth of my blanket to quickly run up to my dorm and grab my handful of presents. When I returned to my spot on the couch, Neville was already sitting in the chair munching on some Chocolate Frogs.

"Neville! You were supposed to wait for me!" I laughed as I ripped open my first present, which happened to be 'Quidditch Through The Ages' from Harry.

"Ooh yay!" I squealed in delight. I had been wanting this book forever but I kept forgetting to buy it.

The next present I opened was from Ron. He sent me a box of Bertie Botts Every Flavor Beans, some Chocolate Frogs, and Licorice Wands. I also got one of Mrs. Weasley's famous sweaters; it was the exact shade of blue that matched my blue-grey eyes with the letter 'S' stitched onto the front. Attached to the sweater was a note.

Skylar, 

Bloody hell, mum insisted on sending you a sweater this year even though I told her four was enough. I think she secretly wants you to marry into the family. Don't even ask why but the lady never shuts up about you. Anyway, enjoy your sweater and have a good Christmas! 

Ron

I laughed as I put Ron's gifts and letter to the side on top of the sweater from Mrs. Weasley's.

I got some Sugar Quills and 'Flying With The Cannons' from Hermione, some pranking supplies from W&W from Fred and George, a journal and locket with a picture of me, mum, and father from my mum, and an amythest necklace from an anonymous sender.

"Wow, Skye, that's a really nice necklace you got there!" Neville exclaimed. "Who's it from?"

I shrugged. "There's no note so I have no clue. I wish I knew so I could thank them though. Even though my birthstone is aquamarine, my favorite stone is amythest. This is such a thoughtful gift, wow."

Soon, Neville announced that he was going to the library. "Would you like to join me, Skye?"

"Thanks but no thanks, Neville. I'll catch up with you later" I smiled at him as he clamored out of the portrait hole and left me with my thoughts.

'Who on earth would send me this necklace?'
