Day 8- snowball fights for HP de-stress December fest @hpdestress

The weight on the bed suddenly felt heavier, like somebody extra had decided to come lay over it but sooner the spring's of the bed started screeching and Draco had to pull his head from under the blanket because of the noise.

" Daddy, Daddy, Daddy- wake up" Draco's son of 5 years whined, no demanded sharply jumping up and down over the bed and even hitting Draco with a pillow to get him out of the bed.

" Scorp- please" Draco groaned

"But daddy- it's snowing outside" he squealed and kept jumping on the bed. He was soon joined by their dog getting on the bed and licking Draco's face. There goes his sleep.

He admittedly groaned and got up, pushing the covers away and taking scorpius in his arms "aren't you one a maniac ?" He teased pinching his chubby cheeks lightly.

" Can we go out now?" Scorpius pouted. Draco wanted to refuse since it'd be very cold outside specially since it was around Christmas and cold winds had picked up but his son had absolutely mastered his way of getting things done by a simple expression of plucked out bottom lip and sparkling eyes. That face was very very hard to say no to. And as Draco expected he lost and found himself outside within the next 15 minutes and 5 more minutes later he was already going crazy with acting like wiper blades in the snow.

" Dragged you out of bed, didn't he ?" Draco heard while he was trying to cover Scorpius's ear with his warm beanie.

" well that's life with kids" Draco shrugged getting up from the ground.

" I'd know it too- he's currently trying to shake the snow off the tree" Harry, his front door neighbour smiled at him. It'd be lie if Draco said he didn't like his smile, it was a heart wrenching smile.

Draco looked over Harry's shoulder and as said his son James was desperately trying to shake the tree.

" Well- my son is currently trying to be wiper blade so I'll know all about it too" Draco chuckled.

They talked of a few more things, discussing their single parenthood more so of Draco than Harry ( shared custody in divorce) and about the muggle education system they had to provide until they could send their sons off to Hogwarts. They remained in their boring Dad conversation until Harry was face planted with snow and Draco broke out laughing until he too was hit by the snowball.

" not funny anymore is it ?" Harry teased rubbing his red nose. Draco rolled his eyes, obviously.

Harry and Draco were hit a few more times until they had enough and they started throwing back snowball's at their son. It was Father's against sons and a complete disaster at that with shouts and laughter echoing in the alley until during the small absolutely brain wracking snowball fight Harry accidentally hit Draco. It amused Harry to see his neighbours reaction and he did it again.

" I thought it was us against them " Draco gasped.

" well sometimes rules change with games, Draco Malfoy" Harry smirked.

Draco squinted his eyes then picked up a ball of snow, cupping it in his hand " you are so dead Harry Potter"

" Scared ?" Draco added

Harry smiled then winked " you wish" and picked up a ball of snow and threw it at the same time as Draco and hitting both of them equally hard.

Their little session of snowball fight escalated quickly with much more efficient teams and Fathers using their sons to throw a perfect shot and it became all the more serious while fun at the very same time. Harry even used James as his shield, pathetic move, he still got hit. Harry was almost about to throw another ball when suddenly a ball hit him hard right over the crotch and he fell down groaning.

Draco immediately ran towards him leaving their sons to their enjoyment to check on Harry and He leaned down to him " you alright ?"

" really ? Crotch? That was supposed to be off the boundary" Harry groaned

" well I wasn't looking where it hit- it was mistake- accident" Draco corrected and gave Harry a hand to get up who instead of taking support to get up Just held his hand.

" you don't look there ?" Harry quite visibly teased but with the cold weather and bright day Draco was unable to hide his crimson blush even though he blamed it on the winters.

" I- I normally don't" Draco stammered, his cheeks still burning red.

" normally don't!? Does that mean that you do sometimes-"

But Draco cut off his teasing and decided to get up but it wasn't upto him and just as he tried to, Harry pulled him down towards making him fall over his hand by Harry's head and almost face plant against his face.

" I was just pulling your leg" Harry smiled, his face inches away from Draco.

" Nothing new about that" Draco rolled his eyes and tried to get away again but instead this time Harry pulled him further closer, wrapping his arm around his waist keeping him from getting up.

" Harry- we shouldn't-"

" we haven't even started yet " Harry replied.

" And that's why we shouldn't " Draco replied.

" Come on-"

" Your divorce haven't even been finalised yet" Draco cut him off.

" you and I both know that it's not the actual reason " Harry raised his eyebrows at him.

Draco sighed, shaking his head " Too much would change- Scorpius and James-"

" They are having fun- it will fine Draco. Those days of us just doing it for fun are long gone. I am serious this time and I want to be" Harry told him, truthfully.

Draco looked at him from mere few Inches apart and he knew Harry wasn't lying, he would know he was but it's been ages since they've been together and he was so afraid of the change.

" But-"

" You could have everything you've ever wanted since you were 19" Harry offered.

Draco groaned, this bastard always knew what to say and when to say.

" it's too hard- to difficult- there's a lot of things involved-"

" It would be just fine " Harry cut him off.

" how can you promise that this time we won't break apart ?" Draco asked seriously considering Harry's offer after a few moments of silence.

" Because this time I have nothing more left to break " Harry replied smiling then intertwining his fingers with those of Draco's.

" it'll be very real this time and I promise I would do anything to make this work" He added.

He looked at him for a few more seconds, getting lost in those emerald eyes he had often slept dreaming about. He could have everything he ever wanted since he was 19. He dropped his head over his chest, nodding, not believing himself at the same time.

" I must be stupid" Draco mumbled.

Harry chuckled, forcing Draco to look at him then kissing his cheeks " that you are "

Draco rolled his eyes.

Picture in the Wallet

Request by @flakeyakey : Draco being obsessed with kittens

Everyone knew, to say Draco wasn't as subtle as he pretended himself to be. Underneath all the layers of his leather jacket and floral shirts and the rugged jeans he wore so often along with the tattoos scarred over his body and the mean boy earring hooked on single ear, he was a softie. He was as soft as the pashmina shawl and despite his attempts to convince others he wasn't soft, he failed repeatedly. It was like he'd walk around the halls, the street's, literally anywhere with his chin held high and the hair that didn't move even a little bit from the Initial position but when left alone he was just another boy who liked fuzzy socks and soft pink sweaters he bought online and a good hot cup of cocoa in his bear shaped mug he hid from everybody but literally everyone knew. One look at the kittens and he'd melt like a chocolate in the microwave.

It happened really early on during Harry's date with Draco when he discovered that Draco was terrible at trying to control himself from being around kittens when they had got a weekend off and went to the beach. If Harry vividly remembers, he went down to the truck to get the left over basket and upon walking nearer to the place he saw Draco cuddling and rubbing the back of the kittens ear he found around the bushes in the back but when Harry had finally arrived near him, Draco had refused of having even seen any kitten. Harry had let it be assuming that it was perhaps just because they had Just started going out.

The second time Harry secretly noticed Draco being lovable with kittens was when they had decided to set up a late evening date at the park. Apparently due to halloween the work load in the office had been too much that they had barely been able to see each other and so they had decided a little outdoorsy date for a while which however Harry still came by late but he didn't regret it when he saw Draco playing with the kitten behind the tree and laughing and giggling. Harry had stood away for a while just watching Draco for a few more moments locking it away how his face just lit up when he was around kittens. Harry assumed that I might be possible that Draco like dogs or puppies too but his questions were answered that he wasn't as fond of the dogs as much as he was with kittens, Harry could work with that. However Draco still refused of being around any animals.

The third, forth and the fifth time Harry noticed was when he deliberately ran by late to the morning run. After having discovered that Draco liked being around kittens, Harry would try to find any opportunity to see him with kittens as much as possible but it seemed as if that to Draco his love for kittens wasn't supposed to shared with or told, like a secret love only the kittens and him knew and Harry admired that but he wished that sometimes Draco would stop pretending to be such a toughie or to pretend to be strong all the time but no matter how many times Harry pointed at a kitten while on their runs or their dates or anywhere else, Draco would just shrug as if he didn't want anything to do with them. Harry waited for him to tell one day but an year went by and Draco still didn't tell Harry about his Love for kittens. Now, Harry was a patient man and a caring man but he'd do anything to see the smile on Draco's face he saw secretly when he was the kittens, so, on the date after they had celebrated their one year anniversary a week ago, he surprised him.

" where are we going ?" Draco asked Linking his arms with those of Harry's and shoving them in his pocket.

" you'll see " Harry smiled.

They took a few more turns and walked a couple more blocks when Harry finally spoke up.

" remember how I told you I had a post anniversary gift for you ?" Harry asked.

Draco nodded " I told you that you didn't had to get me anything though"

" I want to- anyways- I know that it is secret between you and youself but I always see you around them and I couldn't help it so-"

" animal shelter ?" Draco asked as he looked up at the sign.

Harry nodded " Don't be mad at me alright- my friend donates here and he told me about this place and if it feels like I'm invading your privacy I'm sorry but I just want you to have fun and not trying to conceal yourself " Harry spoke softly.

" I don't conceal myself " Draco shrugged even though he knew he was lying.

Harry smiled at him then linked their fingers and Walked inside the place.

" You must be Wally- I'm Harry, we talked over the phone " Harry said to the guy standing near the entrance.

" oh of course- I can't thank you enough for-"

" don't mind- we're just here to be with them"

Wally nodded grinning " right this way " and led them to the back.

" Are you mad ?" Harry asked as he turned his head toward Draco.

Draco shook his head but Harry knew he was upset that he found out.

When they finally it out in the back Wally had already managed to release a few kittens and puppies in the back running around behind each other and Harry didn't fail to capture Draco's lips curving a little when he saw those animal's.

" it's for you- you can stay here as Long as you want" Harry smiled.

" Harry-"

" it's my gift" Harry nodded. Wally left them alone.

Draco turned to the animals then to Harry " you know I'm not happy you figured this out"

" well you won't be happy to know that Basically everyone knows you're a softie" Harry chuckled watching as Draco kneeled down and picked one of the nearest kitten and rubbing it's nose lightly chuckling at the kitten.

" Well- if everyone knows I can't help it- awh- look at you" Draco swooned and this time he sat down cross legged over the ground cuddling another kitten in his arms and kissing the top of its head.

Harry watched as Draco cooed and cuddled with as many kittens as possible and he had to say he had never seen Draco more happy, more alive. Harry had always known that behind the facade that Draco had managed to put up every day without a single fault, he knew there was a part of him that yearned for more but as Harry sat there with puppies in his own hands and watching Draco with kittens, he realised this was probably one of his favourite memories from every moment they spent together. They had amazing moments, not deal broken but this right here watching him completely lose himself with the kittens and laughing in his own self, kissing the kittens and scolding them even and then taking in his arms and apologizing to it, Harry had never felt himself falling more in love with this man than right now. He clicked a picture of Draco with the Polaroid he carried when he wasn't watching and safely kept it inside his wallet knowing whenever he'd go from now, he'd be with him and that worked pretty well for Harry even though it was this moment that he knew he probably never even wanted to walk away from him, ever but even if someday they did separate, Draco would still be there, in a picture in his wallet.

The Decoration Disaster

Prompt Day 1- Holiday Decorating 

Harry peeked at the list once again and sighed in satisfaction upon realizing there’s only one thing left to buy and so without delay he entered the last shop. 

“ Christmas shopping huh ?” The shopkeeper smiled at him when he was billing his item. 

Harry nodded smiling knowing the man saw his other bags “ You know how it can be” 

“ Tell me all about it kid, been doing it for 30 years ” He chuckled and handed him his items and Harry left the store after wishing him a good day and a good christmas. 

He walked back down the streets, nowhere else to go but home. Christmas was probably the one time of the year Harry seemed to enjoy the most now despite of how much he didn’t enjoy it when he was a kid. In his life he had no complaints anymore, infact he have never lived a more merry life, especially now that he was finally settled in a good stable relationship and was infact their first christmas since they moved in together. As they all say when you meet the one, or when you fall in love, everyday seems like another day worth waking upto, he definitely took it seriously. But honestly after everything that Harry had been through he belives he deserved it now more than ever and he was more than Happy to share this holiday time with the man he loves too much. Sounds cliche, I know.

Harry entered his loft aka apartment, and settled the bags down over the kitchen isle and just then the door opened and the love of his life walked in.

" got the tree ?" Harry asked pacing towards him.

" of course" Draco smiled and he pulled Harry closer to himself making Harry circle his arms around his neck, tipping over his toes a little and placing a soft kiss on his nose.

" I missed you today " Harry smiled bumping his nose side by side with Draco as if he was a baby.

" I was only gone for a few hours, so were you. Geez if you can't survive a few hours without me then you'll die the moment I leave you " Draco teased.

" Well you can't leave anymore, because- you're mine " Harry replies placing a kiss over his lips for a short second " and if you'll leave I'll probably die so you know I'd only have to survive a second without you, I can handle that "

" Are you sure ?" Draco teased again.

Harry smiled then kissed him again, properly this time " No " he mumbled and resumed kissing him again.

They Only broke out of their session of making out against the door when the bag of bells and licorice dropped from Draco's hands to the side creating the sonorous sound.

" wow- you really went on it " Draco whispered against his lips.

" well I was giving you an example of what you'd miss if you leave me- so now you can't leave me- ever " Harry replied titling his head and grinning then stepped away and collected the bag from the ground, Draco joining along.

They walked into the kitchen and dropped the bags Draco bought over the counter and started looking briefly through things to make sure nothing was forgotten.

Just as Draco noticed Harry was about to speak up, he spoke up himself " the tree will be delivered, don't worry about it"

Harry shut his lips then smiled " I knew I chose the right man " Draco chuckled over it.

They spent the rest of the hour unpacking the bags and segregating the thing's they had to decorate the house with and the one's to decorate the tree with. After having done the final segregation Harry left to decided to get his toolbox and get started with the decorations.

Apparently decoration wasn't as much of a piece of a cake they assumed it to be because Draco liked all the wreaths to go on one wall but Harry liked one on each wall and since Harry was up on the ladder he could barely keep in mind the aligning of the tinsels they were trying to put in a shape of Christmas tree of and despite the fact that to Draco it seemed fine when Harry got off the ladder, they weren't.

" you said you were looking " Harry sighed

" I was " Draco whined " but your body was blocking half of it- and you know I can't resist looking at your body- so technically it's your fault " he shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

" oh put down that chocolate- it's already your fifth one " Harry scrunched his face snatching the box of chocolates away from Draco's hands and tossing them over the kitchen isle.

" again your fault- you bought them " Draco shrugged taking another bite from his chocolate.

Harry could had so easily been mad at him for being distracted instead of helping him out but with a face like Draco and him eating chocolate, the combination of getting mad didn't go so well and instead he started laughing and wrapped his arms around Draco from behind, keeping his chin over Draco's shoulder and kissing the side of his neck. Draco too covered Harry's hands with his own, interlocking their finger's.

" what do you say we don't change this decoration and let it be imperfect?" Harry suggested.

Draco frowned, impressed " I'd say I like that very much- It'll be like our improvised shit Christmas decorations "

Harry laughed " it would be- besides I like it the imperfect way- what matters is that we did it together- well you more than me, you just stood here eating chocolate " he strolled

" hey" Draco sang " I did help you- I didn't try to tackle you down the stairs despite my very very high desires to have you in your grey sweats "

Harry shook his head blushing. Draco still had that affect on him, even after two years but then it wasn't something he ever really complained about, he rather enjoyed it, especially when Draco him blush.

" Can you do the fire place for me ?" Harry asked unwrapping his arms from around Draco's.

" me ? Seriously- I'm not good at it " Draco complained.

" perfect then- we're going the bad way so It works perfectly well " Harry shrugged and 20 minutes later when he came back to check the fire place decoration he knew he was right to think that Draco had a talent of making anything look beautiful.

" thought you'd do it the bad way " Harry teased taking one chocolate out of the box and eating it.

" I did it the bad way first but then if someone comes over and asks who did the bad decorations it'll be easier to blame you- so- you're going down Harry Potter " Draco ended the sentence with a heavy challenging voice which only made Harry laugh harder than he thought possible.

" Baby trust me- that voice sounded like a 5 year old tried to do the monster voice " Harry said between laughs.

Draco rolled his eyes " one day you're gonna regret making fun of that voice- be ready to be scared one of these nights "

" then I'll be sure to sleep with my safety pillow" he still didn't stop laughing and at some point even though Draco tried to be mad he couldn't be so he ended up laughing at himself. But that was them, in their imperfect love bubble and it wasn't so bad after all.

At the end of the day when they had finished decorating the House with lights, garlands and few more tensils they had managed to make their apartment look perfect in their own way which they stored away in a small Polaroid and set it over the fire place.

The apartment had seen many holidays but this, it was the best Holidays that ever happened because after all Christmas isn't about the perfect tree or the perfect decorations or the perfect parties, sometimes it's just about having a few people over and making the best of Memories to carry on in the future.

Today marks the first day of the HP de-stress December i’ve decided to do. I’ll try to be as regular as possible even if I have to push things aside. I know how things had been lately ( busy ) but because I'm back to feeling slightly motivated. So Here’s to a christmasy December and Great holiday season.
