“Don’t go Draco”, Lux begged. “I have to Alexz”, Draco said. “What if…?” Lux asked, not able to finish the sentence. “Don’t think like that. Take care of yourself and Scorp”, Draco said. He kissed her forehead and her lips. He put his cloak on and knelt down to hug and kiss his son. “You be good for mama”, he said. He kissed Lux one last time, before leaving her holding their young son in an empty flat.
Every night, Lux would light a candle and hope Draco would come home. It grew closer to Christmas every day. She found a green package in Draco’s closet. There was a note. It read:
My dearest Lux,
If I don’t return in time for Christmas, don’t worry. I’ll be home soon. Don’t open this until I’m with you again.
Love, Draco
Lux put it under the tree. “Scorpius! Time for bed!” Lux called. She found him in her room, clinging to Draco’s sweater that Mrs. Weasley had made for him last year. Her eyes teared up. She missed her best friend and lover.
A few nights later, it was Christmas Eve. Lux didn’t even bother to light the candle. Draco was going to miss Scorpius’ first Christmas. She lay in bed that night and cried herself to sleep.
The next morning, Lux woke up to Draco’s scent. She opened her eyes and saw the blue ones of Draco. Lux threw herself on top of him. “Did you really miss me that much?” he asked. “More than you can ever imagine”, she said softly. He sat up and grabbed the green package. He opened and Lux saw the most beautiful ring. “Marry me Alexz Shire Smith”, he said. “Yes”, Lux breathed.
