Chapter Sixteen: Draco's Christmas.


Draco sat in his and Harry's room at the manor. He was alone. He couldn't stop thinking about Harry, what he was doing, how he was faring, did he miss Draco as much as Draco missed him?

Probably.

Probably way more. Harry was lost without Draco, and Draco knew it.

He stood up and looked out the window. The snow in his grounds was all completely untouched, except for the snow on the walkway to the front door. He smiled to himself while looking down at it, remembering the beautiful thing
Harry said about it.

Pure.

Just like them.

Oh this was going to be a long, sad break.

*************

There was a sharp knock on Draco's door. He had been home for one week, Christmas was the same as ever, just very lonely without Harry here with him. He had, of course, sent him plenty of gifts, as had Draco's parents.

He got up and opened the door. Lucius stood in the doorway, with black robes in his arms.

"It's time" Lucius said. "Get your robes and mask. Don't forget Harry's report." he said before turning and leaving.

Draco changed quickly and rummaged in his trunk until he had Harry's report clutched tightly in his hand.

He walked down the stairs and found Lucius waiting for him in the entryway.

Lucius grabbed him by the arm and they apparated away.

********

When they had landed Draco was fully ready for an attack. It was worthless, the room was bathed in light and their Lord was already on his high backed chair.

"Ahh, Draco. Glad to have you back." He hissed at the young boy.

Draco bowed.

"Thank you, Master."

"Now where is young Mr. Potter?" Voldemort questioned.

"Dumbledore wouldn't let him leave the castle, Sir." Draco told him quickly.

"Really, why not?"

"Because he is trying to distance Harry from myself, Sir."

"Hmm." Voldemort said ponderously. "So, do you have anything for me?" He hissed.

"Not really, Sir. I have a report here from Harry, but it's pretty tame."

"Bring it here." Draco took it forward, bowing, and continued his story.

"Dumbledore hasn't said much about anything. He did try and force Harry to move from Slytherin to Gryffindor, but Harry refused."

"Yesss....Thats what Severus has told me."

Draco ears perked up.

Severus stepped forward.

"I do have something new for you, Master."

"Really Severus? What is it?"

"Since Harry had to stay at the school, alone, one of the mudbloods in his year, Hermione Granger has been trying to get pretty close to him. When I seen him, he wasn't wearing his tie. I don't know if thats a sign. He did look confused when I asked him about it, he said he 'Must've forgot it'. I think he's been feeling very alone, so he is about to reach out to anyone for friendship. Dumbledore seems very, very pleased at the moment too." Snape told his Lord.

"Plus, Harry went up to the Headmasters office and lost it on him. He burst in, kicked his chair, kicked a hole in his desk and started freaking out on Dumbledore about putting him with the muggles to live with." Snape said, leaving out Harry's departing words, he didn't feel that Voldemort would need to know that.

'Snape?!?!?!' Draco was thinking. Holy shit!

'Oh no. I hope he's not in more trouble.' Lucius thought to himself.

Voldemort suddenly looked at Draco.

"Draco. You will be heading back to school early, Harry need's you there with him. We can't have him falling trap to Dumbledore's ploy now. Not when we are in great need of him. He is a huge part of our ranks."
Voldemort looked down at the scroll of parchment in his hands and opened it. He read it for a few moments and looked at Lucius oddly.

"It says here that Harry doesn't understand why, but everyone gets angry at him when he talks about muggles being lower then purebloods. Hasn't he been told by anyone to not speak about it freely? Draco, I want you to be sure that you let him know that when you get back. Also start to make sure he can start controlling himself, he seems like a loose cannon."

"Yes, Sir." Draco said with a half bow.

"Well, Harry says he is suspicious, and I don't want to put all my faith in an eleven year old. Severus, please continue to watch him. Draco, you and Harry are also still on orders to watch him closely. I need to know all i can about him right now. I will unveil my plan when the time comes. Till then you all may go. Draco, I'll see you in a few months."

All of the Death Eaters bowed and apparated away.

***************

Once back at Malfoy Manor, Draco took off his skull mask and looked up at his father.

"I didn't know that Snape was a Death Eater." He stated awestruck.

"Make sure you don't tell anybody. He is a double agent, Dumbledore got him out of a tough spot. Dumbledore thinks that Snape is on the light side now. But, obviously, he's not. So make sure you keep it quiet. Harry may know, but make sure he's quiet too."

"Speaking of Harry," Draco said, "I'm going to kill that mudblood, trying to turn Harry over right when I leave."

"Don't worry Draco, She'll get hers." Lucius stated rather creepily.

"Now, you will spend a few more nights with us, and go back to the school early."

"How many nights? What day can I go back?" Draco asked excitedly. He hadn't seen Harry in what felt like forever!!!

"I think we'll send you back three days early." Lucius said.

"Three?" Draco whined, "Why can't I go back sooner? Like tommorow?" He added, hopefully.

"No. I want to see if Harry can turn the mudblood away before you get there." Lucius told him, starting to walk away.

"Oh," Draco said sadly, to his fathers retreating back.

*************

The night before Draco was to return to Hogwarts he laid in his bed and thought about Harry.

He thought about how much he missed him.

He thought about his kisses.

He thought about holding him, tightly while laying in bed.

He thought about his touches.

Draco was suddenly feeling very hot. Plus he felt a stirring in his loins that he hadn't ever felt before.

He reached down and whatever he felt was gone. It was quick, and it scared him.

He couldn't wait to get back to Harry!! That mudblood was trying to steal what was his, and she was going to pay.
