Dear Mother, I apologise for the late news, but you won't be needing to pick me up from King's Cross tomorrow afternoon. I have decided to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas to catch up on my studies as I am falling behind. Wish father my best. I love you, and hope you have a good Christmas, Mother.
Sincerely, Draco Malfoy
No need to tell her that he was staying at Hogwarts for a girl, and the studying excuse was good enough. Well, he wasn't remaining behind because he liked her, but because he felt sorry for her.
Draco had never seen Meredith Darling so broken. The same Meredith Darling who strutted around the hallways, her head held high and that sarcastically sweet smile on her lips. He didn't like it at all, it terrified him. That if someone like her could break because she felt unwanted by a parent, what would happen to him if...no, he wouldn't go there today. Christmas was a time for joy, wasn't it?
Moreover, his mother would probably be so delighted that her son had taken a liking to someone that she might just send him a hundred galleons to buy nice a gift for them. Not that Draco didn't already have a spare hundred galleons lying around.
