Christmas in the Great Hall

It was Christmas at Hogwarts. Harry, Ron and Hermione were waiting for Malfoy. Candlelight emerged from under the mistletoe, and Hermione looked at it. Hagrid was sitting there staring. Neville Longbottom streamed out from behind the Christmas tree, introducing Draco Malfoy slowly. Draco Malfoy interrupted Neville with a loud popping noise. The three covered their ears until he stopped.

They said "Malfoy! We were looking for you."
"Why?" he asked abruptly.
"Because we haven't given you the present we sealed with regret." they replied.  He was shaking with sudden discomfort. His head immediately felt rather stunned.

"But I haven't procured anything for you!" he exclaimed stiffly.
The three answered conversationally "You don't understand. You think you ought to tell us anything. It 's the problem we are facing. Voldemort tried to find it but he was dreaming!"
Malfoy bent down resolutely. "Then I jest, your gift is lovely. I'll take it to my house and make it fashionable."

Harry, Ron and Hermione together shrieked at him with enormous affection, and the students exchanged sacks.
