Storms Ahead

|Chapter twenty eight : Christmas Joy|

"Merry Christmas asshats!" I shouted loudly as a simultaneous groan came from both Pansy and Daphne, Millicent having gone home as I chucked each of them a box as I wrapped my house coat around me tighter before walking out of the dorm and up the stairs before heading to the boys dorm, finding Blaise still asleep as I put his present down quietly before running at his bed as I jumped on top of him and laid across him, laughing hysterically as he let out a groan of frustration

"Fuck whoever that is"

"Oh come on, you know it's me" I laughed as I poked his back continually as he turned his head and looked at me tiredly

"What do you want?"

"Rude"

"Why did you feel the need to wake me?"

"Because it's Christmas!" I told him happily, a grin on my face as a small smile grew on his face as he shook his head at me

"You should go back to sleep. It's too early"

"It's ten past nine-"

"Too early"

"That is like an extreme sleep in for me"

"You don't sleep in, what're you on about?"

"Come on, just get up" I pleaded as he turned back towards me as I gave him a smile as he nodded amused

"Fine. There's no guarantee though"

"What? How? Why?"

"Well I can't exactly move if you're lying on me can I?"

"Oh. Yeah" I muttered as I rolled off of him as we both started laughing as he finally got up, throwing his duvet to the floor as I looked around the empty dorm

"Thank god he isn't here-"

"Who?"

"Who do you think Blaise?"

"Oh! You mean Draco?-"

"Malfoy" I corrected him as he looked at me for a moment, a smirk forming as I chucked him his present

"Merry Christmas"

"You got me something?"

"What? Of course I did!" I told him quietly, matching his surprised look as I smiled at him and he looked up with a grin before opening his desk drawer and passing a present to me as I smiled at him before pulling him into a hug

"Thank you"

"No problem at all, thank you for my jellybeans and other mysterious gift"

"How did you know that-?"

"I can hear them" he told me amused as I nodded in understanding before linking arms as he put them down on his desk while I looked at him confused

"I'll open them after dinner"

"But dinner is ages away" I whined as I looked at him and he started laughing while we walked from the door and I started unwrapping my gift, stopping in my tracks as I started jumping up and down with glee as I wrapped him in a tight hug, grinning from ear to ear as I clutched the book tightly

"Thank you!"

"Thank Merlin you like it"

"I love it! I always wanted to get this one!"

"I know! You wouldn't stop going on about it!" He said laughing as I joined in for a moment longer before we both walked down to the dorm so I could change, all of us heading out awhile later as I decided to open my gifts when we got back.

"I'm so cold!"

"That's what happens when you get buried in snow"

"My red is nose" I mumbled quietly as we walked through the thick snow, my clothes completely soaked as we all stopped and I looked down confused

"Did I-?"

"Did you really just say that?"

"I think so"

"Your English skills are impeccable Lia"

"Thank you for noticing. Also, I need to disappear after I change"

"What? Why?"

"I need to see Cedric so I can give him his gifts"

"Oh, that's ok then-"

"Wait, are you sitting with us in the hall?"

"Yes! Obviously" I told them laughing before disappearing to change into warmer clothes before leaving again with a box in hand as I waved to them before leaving the common room, passing both Adrian and Miles on the way back as I offered a smile to them both, stopping as I stared after them confused when I got a smile back from both of them

"Oh Amelia!"

"Oh Cedric!" I called back laughing after I stopped on the flight of stairs I was climbing, turning to look at him with a smile

"Merry Christmas"

"Merry Christmas to you too Lia. You look absolutely freezing"

"I am-"

"Well then hurry up and get over here so I can hug you"
