As the days past the boys had gotten gifts for each other and their friends and before they knew it it was Christmas eve. Harry had mailed out the presents for Hermione and a few of his other friends, and Draco did the same as he sent presents to his friends who had gone home.

Draco was practically the only Slytherin that stayed so he and Harry had the common room to themselves. And they had decided to cuddle on the couch by the fireplace, both of them were content in the others arms. Neither of them wanted to move, and at this moment they were happy but they knew this was not going to last.

Draco: looks at the time and notices it’s getting late “ Harry, let’s head to bed. Okay babe?” he says

Harry: he was indeed very tired and wanted to go to sleep “okay Dray” he says with a sleepy yawn and stands up, before helping his boyfriend to his feet.

Draco: “ let’s go” he says as he wraps his arm around his boyfriend’s waist as they walk up to Draco’s bedroom.

Draco then climbs into bed and Harry gets in next to him, laying his head on Draco’s chest. Draco kisses him softly and Harry kisses back, the two boys cuddle up with each other on the bed. And Draco starts humming Harry’s lullaby to help him fall asleep, he had gotten used to doing this each night since Harry had a hard time falling asleep. After a little while Harry was sound asleep and this was Draco’s cue to go to sleep as well, he wasn’t looking forward to tomorrow but for now he enjoyed having Harry in his arms.

As dawn approached, Draco started to wake as Harry woke up and sat up. Harry smiled over at his beloved boyfriend and lightly ran his hand through his soft blonde hair.

Harry: “good morning Dray, Merry Christmas” he says

Draco: “morning babe, Merry Christmas to you too” he says with a smile

Harry: “ Come on sleepy head, we have gifts… we should at least try and enjoy our Christmas” he says and gets up, before walking over to the small Christmas tree in the corner of Draco’s dorm. Where their owls had put the gifts from their friends and where they had placed the gifts for one another.

Draco: “alright” he says and joins Harry over by the tree

The two boys sit down in front of the tree and open the presents one by one, till they get to the gifts from each other. Draco handed Harry a box with a watch inside that had an engraving on it which read “no matter how long we are apart, you will forever be in my heart. Love Dray” Harry smiles and feels tears form in his eyes as he hugs his boyfriend.

Harry: “I love it Dray, thank you” he says as he puts the watch around his wrist

Draco: “you’re welcome, I’m glad you like it” he says

Harry: he pulls out a small box which was not wrapped and moved closer to Draco “ Draco this is something muggles call a promise ring, it’s a symbol of our love and I am promising myself to you” he says as he takes the ring out of the box it had a black band and two small gems on it one emerald and one ruby “ Draco Malfoy, I love you more than words could ever express and I promise to always love you, till the end of my days.” he says and takes Draco’s hand and slides the ring onto his ring finger “ and maybe one day we can get married, but until that day comes or until you find someone else to love this ring is to stay on your hand understand?” he says

Draco: he starts crying “I understand, and I will never take this off and I hope that someday we can get married.” he says with a smile and kisses Harry passionately and Harry kisses him back

Harry: “ good, as do I” he says and returns the kiss

Draco: “also tonight I have a surprise, I wrote lyrics for your lullaby… and tonight you’ll get to hear them” he says

Harry: “ aww Dray, I can’t wait to hear it” he says with a smile
