🎄 HARRY POTTER: A VERY MALFOY CHRISTMAS Christmas morning, snow falls gently outside Hogwarts Dracaena Malfoy: Ah, Christmas! And I'm staying here? AHHH, WHY DIDN'T I WAKE UP EARLIER?! Now I have to wait for the next train! At the same time, somewhere else in the castle Harry Potter: Oh, it's Christmas, guess I'll have to wait for the next train, it's so quiet here at Hogwarts Dracaena Malfoy: Staying for Christmas, Pottah? Harry Potter: Oh, yeah, looks like it, what about you? Why aren't you going home? Dracaena Malfoy: Well, I've always wanted to see Hogwarts when it's calm, snowy, and silent (Especially with you) Dracaena Malfoy: Anyway, what about you? Harry Potter: Hagrid can't pick me up yet, Ron will probably come tomorrow, or maybe the day after, I don't really know Dracaena Malfoy: Oh, that's rather sad, Pottah Harry Potter: Really? You're still teasing me on Christmas? Dracaena Malfoy: You know me so well! Hahaha! Harry Potter: Wanna take a stroll around the castle? Dracaena Malfoy: WHAT?! (A STROLL? WITH ME? JUST THE TWO OF US? A CHRISTMAS DATE?!) Dracaena Malfoy: A-Ahem! Fine! I'm only coming because I don't want you getting lost! Harry Potter: Whatever, let's go They walk through the enormous, snow-covered grounds Dracaena Malfoy: Wow, this place is practically deserted, it's enormous and absolutely freezing! Harry Potter: What did you expect? It's Christmas, everyone's gone home, still, at least the decorations are beautiful Dracaena Malfoy: Oh, yes, they certainly are She glances sideways at Harry Dracaena Malfoy: You are, too Harry Potter: Huh? Did you say something? Dracaena Malfoy: NOTHING! KEEP WALKING, POTTAH! Harry Potter: Right Harry Potter: Come on, let's see the giant Christmas tree in the Great Hall! Dracaena Malfoy: Fine! Try to keep up! They enter the Great Hall Harry Potter and Dracaena Malfoy: WHOOOOOAAAA! An enormous Christmas tree towers nearly to the ceiling, covered in silver ornaments, enchanted candles, and glowing crystal stars Harry Potter: LOOK AT THE SIZE OF THAT THING! Dracaena Malfoy: It's absolutely gorgeous Harry Potter: Shame there aren't any presents yet, I was hoping for a faster broom this year Dracaena Malfoy: (Hmm, I'm your present, Potter, though I wouldn't mind a little dragon of my own) Dracaena Malfoy: Naturally, someone like me could afford a better broom, unlike you, Pottah! Hahaha! Harry Potter: Yeah, yeah, whatever, Malfoy Suddenly, the crystal stars rise into the air, circling the Great Hall like a miniature galaxy, silver ribbons transform into luminous birds, and thousands of golden lights dance beneath the enchanted ceiling Harry Potter: WHOA! LOOK AT THAT! THAT'S WICKED! Dracaena Malfoy: Wow, it's really beautiful They stand shoulder to shoulder, mesmerized by the magical Christmas display Harry Potter: Merry Christmas, Malfoy Dracaena Malfoy: Merry Christmas, Potter Neither notices the tiny green mistletoe slowly materializing directly above their heads, its enchanted leaves unfurling as two little red berries glow softly Harry and Dracaena continue watching the magical display, completely oblivious to the mistletoe above them 🎄 Somewhere in the castle, an ancient Christmas enchantment had just decided that these two needed a little help. And it was not going to let the opportunity go to waste. 🎄
