Harry Potter Imagines

Secret Santa Pt. 3 (Draco Malfoy)

The Slytherin Head Boy and Girl were shouting names into the wild crowd for people to collect their presents. Names were being called but you weren't really listening.

"-(Y/n) (L/n)!"

You scurried to the front, accepted the neatly wrapped gift, and went back to your comfy corner of the room. Avery instantly went up to you.

"Open it! Open it!" She insisted.

You examined the wrapping. It was elegant, wrapped in red wrapping paper and topped with a big red bow. On a tag, in cursive, was your name. The gift wasn't big, it was a little bigger than an average book size.

You carefully took off the bow and ripped the package open. Inside was in fact a book. You flipped through the pages. You hadn't seen this book in ages, you'd lost your copy on a trip with your family. Your delicate hands flipped through the pages, a folded up piece of paper fell out.

You picked it up and read it.

This was a great book, (Y/n). After your friend told me you loved this book, I got it and read the book. Mainly I read it so I could we could have something to talk about on our date tonight. Will you meet me in the courtyard at midnight?

- your secret santa

"Avery!! What did you do?!" You exclaimed.

"Don't worry, boo, you'll thank me someday," she tapped your nose.

"What did you get?" I asked.

"I got a ring with a green stone, and inside the ring it was engraved with the word 'Slytherin'," she smiled and showed me her hand. The stone sparkled in the strobing lights.

"It's brilliant."

"I'm going to go dance, join me will you?"

You shook your head, "I had my share of dancing tonight."

She winked, "I know, Parkinson was vowing your death."

You laughed.

"Promise me you'll meet Prince Charming tonight!" You knew with the look in her eyes, she was not going to let you say no.

"Alright."

Avery disappeared into the crowd with, unsurprisingly, Henry.

"Sod off, Crabble!" You turned to see Draco a ways from you.

In Draco's hand was the chest. Had he seen what was inside yet? His posse looked over his shoulder to see him open it. When he opened it, he instantly grinned.

You sighed with relief.

"What's that?" One of them asked.

"Come on, let's get some food!" And they were gone.

Draco was left without his backup. He picked up the tiny glass bottle. "Felix Felicis," he breathed.

No, you hadn't made it the night before. You'd originally made it for yourself for a rainy day perhaps a long time ago. When you realized it was no use to you, you stuck it in the box. The potion wasn't easy to make and it was difficult to get ahold of all the ingredients without Professor Snape catching you, but it seemed all worth it when you saw the look on his face.

You glanced at the clock that was mounted to the wall in the front of the room. Oh no, it was nearly midnight. You had promised Avery you would go. You ran up to your dorm room, abandoned your heels for converse, and grabbed your wand. You rushed out of the room before anyone could ask what in the world you were doing.

"Lumos," you muttered, trying to make out the dark shapes of statues and paintings. You rushed up the stairs and immediately wished you'd brought a coat.

You sat on a bench and waited in the freezing cold. Did you have time to get a coat?

"Nox."

You stared at the stars and thought about who the guy was. It could be some creeper, that was why you brought your wand. The minutes seemed to go by like hours in the wind.

"I'm so sorry I'm late!" A voice you recognized with out hesitation.

"You were my Secret Santa?" You asked.

The moonlight made his blond hair glow. "Uh yeah," he rubbed the back of his neck.

You laughed.

"I was your Secret Santa," you smiled. "I-um- hope you liked it."

He smiled mischievously, "could've been better."

"I-uh-how?"

"Like this."

And he kissed you. Cheesy? Yeah. Cliche? Probably. There you were kissing Draco Malfoy in the snow, in the freezing cold, at midnight.

"Merry Christmas, (Y/n)."

"Merry Christmas, Draco."

So... it didn't suck as much as I thought it would

So what do you want for the holidays?

Books, clothing, a video camera, and a really nice camera :)
