“Oi! Draco! Hurry up, or the good ones will be gone!”
“I don’t understand why we have to do this,” huffed Draco, stomping down the stairs. “This is just so...”
“Muggle?” said Harry.
“Please, Draco. I’ve never had a real muggle Christmas before.”
“And why must we start now?”
“Humor me, Draco. Growing up, the Dursley’s made Christmas anything but jolly. Yes, Christmases at Hogwarts were wonderful, but it’s not the same when it’s yours. Your home. Your family. I never had any of that until you.”
Draco blushed. “You’ve always had family, Harry. The Weasleys. Granger.”
Harry grabbed his old Gryffindor scarf, wrapping it around Draco’s neck. “Of course they are. But this is different.”
“I know.” He kissed Harry’s scar. “As sweet as the sentiment is, I still don’t understand why we have to go to a muggle...what was it? Tree farm? We can conjure a tree. The perfect tree.”
“Draco…” Harry gave him a knowing smile.
“I hate the cold. This sounds miserable.”
Harry laughed. “If I have to wear a suit to your parent’s Christmas party, you can manage an hour in the snow.”
“Oh, stuff it, Malfoy. Leave your wand and get in the car.”
“Are you going to pout the whole way there?”
“And the whole way back.”
“You’re lucky I find it endearing, or you’d really be fucking up my first muggle Christmas,” clipped Harry.
Draco’s features softened. “I’m sorry. I’ll try to be more...jolly.”
“Oh, please don’t. That sounds terrifying.”
Draco snorted. “But...a car?”
“How do you think we’d get the tree back?”
“Oh, I don’t know. Maybe a quick Reducio and Apparate directly into our warm and cozy bungalow?”
“You knew full well when you married me.”
Harry rolled his eyes. “I love you too. Right, here we are!”
Draco gawked at the sign. “Peter Pine’s Pine Plantation? You’re joking.”
Harry parked the car, and they stepped out, Draco shivering violently.Â
Harry opened the trunk, pulling out an axe. He rested it on his shoulder and turned toward a gaping Draco.
“But they have...you know what? Never mind. Fuck, it’s cold. Let’s get this over with.”
