Chapter 3
That afternoon Draco headed home for Christmas break. He had been excited about going home and getting presents, but now he was feeling almost guilty. Malfoys don’t feel guilty, Draco scolded himself, but he couldn’t shake the feeling. He was on a train headed for his manor in Southampton and all he could think about was Harry back at Hogwarts. He would probably be spending Christmas alone. Draco had the horrible image of Harry waking up on Christmas morning, his green eyes darkened with sadness, having no one to spend Christmas with. That’s stupid, Draco told himself, Weasley will be there, I’m sure his parents can’t even afford to bring him home for Christmas. Draco stopped. Why had he just thought that? He had always thought like that, but why? His head filled with questions he couldn’t or at least didn’t want to answer, so shaking his head he concentrated on looking at the snow-covered trees out the window.

Harry meanwhile was finishing up lunch with Ron, they were free to do whatever they wanted so they had planned to go have a snowball fight with George and Fred. Walking outside they quickly built a fort and started making snowballs. In about five minutes later the twins showed up, they had just graduated and now owned their own joke shop in Hogsmeade, they had sent the twins an owl telling them tot Hat Harry and Ron outside behind the school at 12:30 PM for some fun. As soon as they saw the twins red hair they started hurling snowballs at them. The twins didn’t take long to recover. Fred magicked a fort out of snow and George magicked the snow to start packing itself into balls. Before long all the boys were chucking snowballs at each other and laughing. They said goodbye to Fred and George and returned to their dorms tired and soaking wet but grinning. Harry collapsed into bed that night warm and happy. And before he knew it he had drifted off into a deep sleep.
Several dayter ter Harry awoke to a shrill screech and a loud bang. He looked around to find where the noise was coming from and realized that a large eagle owl was trying to get into his window. Harry made his way over to the window and let the poor animal in, it was nearly frozen because it was so cold outside. He gave it some of Hedwig’s food and some water and let it rest while he untied the letter from its leg. It read:
Dear Harry,
How is your Christmas vacation going? I am doing well but it is lonely here, Mother and Father aren’t much fun. I hope all is well with you. Write back soon.
Sincerely,
Draco Malfoy
Harry smiled. Draco had been thinking of him, it filled him with warmth from head to toe. He thought of Draco’s beautiful face and how he looked when he smiled. He was filled with a longing that he knew went beyond the physical. But almost immediately it was followed by the sadness of knowing that Draco would never feel the same way for him. Trying to ignore the weight of sadness he was now feeling he grabbed a piece of parchment and some ink and sat down to write a reply.

Draco was sitting in his room alone watching the snowflakes drift past when he received Harry’s letter back to him. He jumped off his bed excitedly, with a huge smile on his face. Although he hadn’t written much in his letter it had taken a lot for him to send it. And he had been anxiously waiting for Harry’s reply. He eagerly opened the letter.
Dear Draco,
My Christmas vacation is going well. Ron has been keeping me company but it’s always much more interesting when you are around. I think I actually miss you. (Which is something I never thought would happen.) I hope you don’t get too lonely, you will be back before you know it. Merry Christmas!
Love,
Harry
Draco’s smile got even bigger, if that was possible. Harry missed him! He felt like jumping for joy! At that moment an idea popped into his head, the more he thought about it the better it sounded. It was a simple idea but one that was relatively new to him. He would buy Harry a Christmas present...
Draco thought about it and thought about it but he still had no idea what he should get Harry. He wanted to get him something meaningful but what? He was getting desperate, there were only 3 days until Christmas and he had yet to come up with something. He simply wasn’t good at this, he had always been on the receiving end when gifts were given. He was beginning to think that he would just buy something and make up a reason for buying it. He was a Slytherin after all, he could fabricate stories as easily as he could tell the truth. Actually, he thought, lying was often much easier than telling the truth. Then it hit him. He would buy Harry a Truth Stone.
