Day 13 Secret Santa @hpdestress

He still have them all.

When Harry was in his first year at Hogwarts, away from his home, with people he barely knew and some he found strange, he had spent his Christmas at Hogwarts. Back then Harry was happier than he had been in a long time and was glad for a lot of givings he was given even if he didn't want some of them , he took them with grace and their love in those givings and kept it safe in a case or in his heart. It was then on his first Christmas at Hogwarts when he recieved an anonymous gift resting over his bed waiting to be opened. He had already opened the invisibility cloak before so he knew it couldn't be that, so, when he did open it and threw the wrappings aside he discovered it was a gift by a child, not more older than he was. The gift had been a paper Santa decorated with all sorts of glitter and a card with "Maybe one day", just that. Harry had kept it safely.

The next year when he had returned back from his Christmas break, there had been a box sitting over his pillow. He knew it then it was from the same Secret Santa as last year when he had opened the card and it was the same inscription. This time there were cookies in a box ( secret Santa had made it themself).

The next year Harry had been excited to see his gift from the secret santa even though he didn't who it was but when he came back from the Christmas strolling with Ron and Hermione, there wasn't a gift on his bed, underneath it, or around it or even his fellow mates bed. He looked for 3 days straight until it showed up the next day, a card with the same inscription and nothing more and a Stocking with Harry Potter crocheted over it. Harry found those customized presents cute.

The next year, that was 4th year he yet again was met with his present on the pillow right after he had returned from the break. At this point he didn't bother reading the card but did it anyways and found it extremely impressive how whoever it was had a beautiful calligraphy. That year he had received ear muffs with Christmas tree stitched over them. He wore them often.

During his 5th year after things had turned pretty upsetting, the gift was all he looked forward to upon returning to school and like the 3rd year the gift came in late and this time with an apology " Sorry, I had things " the apology card read. He left the same inscripted card at the bottom of the box and picked up the gift. That year he had recieved a handkerchief with Harry weaved over it riding the broomstick and a small Draco getting knocked over by him around the corner. It was a hilarious gift. It certainly kept him going a lot.

But when the 6th year happened, Harry had to wait an entire week before he received the present. There was no apology that time but the same card with the same inscription as every which Harry now felt bored off yet found it endearing at the same time and a mix tape of songs that claimed to have reminded whoever it was of Harry. He kept listening to them even after the war was over. It was a nice gesture.

The 7th year, he didn't recieve anything and plainly there was too much going on for him to either be worried about but the morning after Christmas Eve while they were in Dean's forest Harry had thought about it and late in the night when Hermione was asleep he had heard the mix tape again. It kept him sane.

The 8th year, he finally recieved a love letter signed by anonymous but vividly mentioned having been in love with Harry for so long; along with a sweater with H weaved over its front and the signature inscription card only this time there was a smile put after the words.

He still have them all, in a box that he looks at them every year and remembers his childhood and how it was among the best part of his childhood.

Today was one of those days when Harry was looking through the box of things again except for the H sweater which he was wearing and smiled at them. He suddenly felt two arms wrap around his Torso and a soft pair of lips attaching his neck and hummed.

" Old Christmas presents " His lover said.

Harry nodded smiling then after a moment of enjoying his embrace and silence he spoke up " you weren't very discrete you know"

Draco laughed softly behind him and pestered him with a kiss again " So you knew all along ?"

" Nope, around 3rd year. Only a post brat like you could've known how to crochet" Harry teased.

" At least appreciate my efforts" Draco complained playfully.

" thank you for these"

Harry turned just a little, kissing his cheek then gazed into his eyes " our one day came"

Draco smiled at him equally swooned and in love, nodded " Our one day came"

You and mine

Day 14- Mistletoe @hpdestress

It's like a movie that plays on repeat

I sort of like the ending of your hand in mine

It's about the two of us who strolls in the back

And somedays when we meet in the dark

Under the night of a thousand stars

With your hands clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

It's like a song I think I dance on repeat

You always hold my hand and tell me to feel the beat

We dance your troubles away

With twist and turn in every sway

We keep our love alive from under the waters

Breathing in the deep ocean of love that wavers

We cling onto the Swing and we reach for the sky

With your hand clutched in mine

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We meet up after every rain by the cafe you called me in

We'd talk about the Situation we'd be in

I'd hold your hand and you would hold mine

And the others would blush with the innocence of our smiles

We'd paint each other's nails and ruin it the next second

Then we'd call it a style because we're too lazy to do it a second

You'd wash your white shirts with my pinks

Then you'll end up smiling and wear it as you give me a wink

We'd watch another movie on repeat

And talk about the promises we've kept

I sort of like the ending of you and me

We ride the bus and reach for the last

And talk about our future for we know we'd last

Then I wonder from where we began

From under the mistletoe to under the broken tree

With your hands in mine and mine in yours

With the whole wide world watching, I confess and make you mine

And you make me yours

Then I think now

I sort of like the ending of you and me

And a something of you and mine.

Palace Dè Elite

Day 12- Diagon alley @hpdestress

Harry groans as his head hit the the pillar by the bed at the Weasley's and finally rakes his hand under the bed to find his glasses. 

“ Every time “ He heard a small laugh. It was in the next second when he found the glasses and put it on that he turned and saw Ron had came into his room. 

“ The position of this pillar is totally inaccurate” Harry grumbled. He next wore his slippers and slipped on a jumper and decided to go downstairs after Ron himself while discussing the Christmas festivities left to be done and the plan of the day. 

“ Harry “ Molly squealed and immediately wrapped her arms around him. 

Harry forcefully chuckled, hugging her. 

“ You should’ve told us sooner that you’d be coming for Christmas” Molly grinned after having taken her arms back to herself. 

Harry tried fixing his atrocious hair as he settled at the table “ I didn’t know I was going to- someone dragged me “ He replied looking at Ron “ I’m sorry for last minute trouble” 

“ Trouble, nonsense ” He heard. Arthur had came into the room with his bag of work and ready to leave. Harry immediately got up and hugged Arthur as the family tradition went “How are you, Mr. Weasley?” 

“ As bright as the star” Arthur laughed. Harry never really got his jokes but he laughed at them nonetheless. 

“ Mum, We still need decoration to do outside, it’d be fine if Harry and I do it ?” Ron asked chewing down his apple pie. 

“ Of course dear, of course” Molly grinned.

And that’s how Harry’s rest of day was occupied and later that evening when Hermione too came there, the evening became wilder than it originally had been. Apparently the Weasley’s took a great fun in doing karaokes and singing at the top of their lungs, literally any of them. Harry laughed all along video taping them even as they sang and danced, doing back vocals in between too. It had been so fun yet tiring all at the same time that by the time it was 10 in the night everyone was tired of screaming and had sore throats so they just hummed along. Harry was smiling at the sight of the family, the jokes that were being shared in the corner between Bill and Fleur, Hermione and Ron talking about something which Harry could’ve joined but some days it was nice just watching them from afar and smiling at them and Arthur and Molly dancing to Molly’s favorite song. It was a sight to behold, It was all so nice and so overwhelming and yet his heart clenched in his chest every beating second when he thought that he could've been doing all of this with a boy he loved but couldn’t spend the Christmas with for several reasons. Harry would do anything right now to go to where he was, wrap him in his own arms and dance the same way Arthur and Molly were dancing. He could have it all but he’s here and not with him. Only if he could go to him. 

He felt the couch sunk under and looked over his shoulder to see Ginny joined him on the couch with a muffin in her hand. 

“ Want ?” she asked. Harry refused, smiling. 

They remained in silence watching them for so long, enjoying the incandescent happiness blooming in front of their eyes and the beauty of the relationships in its own until Harry leaned back and turned to face Ginny. 

“ Can I ask you something ?” Harry asked. 

Ginny gave him a smile “ Anything” 

“ If there was someone you could spend all your Christmases with, your new years, all the other holidays with who would it be and it cannot be family ?” 

Ginny scoffed, smiling “It’s obvious isn’t it, with someone I love” 

Harry nodded then turned momentarily to front “ And what if that someone you love is the one you’re not supposed to love ?” 

He heard Ginny exhale a sharp breath and the seat just next to him sinking further and he turned again to Ginny. 

“ Then I wouldn’t care about the world or anyone else. I would tell myself that I love them and the rest of the world doesn’t have to” 

Harry smiled, then his expressions turned into amusement “ You’ve always been the wise one” 

Ginny let out a soft chuckle then as the silence dragged on again, she put her hand over Harry’s to get his attention “ Go. You love him and that’s what matters. Spend your christmas with him, I’m sure everyone else would understand” 

Harry could’ve lied, could’ve pretended that Ginny’s word meant nothing but he knew there was no point in denying. He knew even if he tried, she’d see right through him, this was always something he liked about Ginny. The two had been through so much together and everyone thought they were meant to be, even Harry and Ginny themselves but now, he knows they weren’t meant to be and even if they were, Harry’s meant to be was someone else. He knew Ginny still hoped that they would get back together but he knew her flicker of hope was dying like a candle reaching its end until now when the wind could not bear so much and blew the candle out immediately, leaving just wax behind. 

“ You know who he is ?” Harry found himself asking 

“ I knew it before you even knew yourself” Ginny smirked. 

Harry chuckled then as it died he asked again “ How did you know ?” 

“Lets just say I’m wise” Ginny smiled. He looked at her for a moment longer than a few thinking of what they could’ve been but couldn’t be and the reason was back at Diagon alley and somehow he wouldn’t change it for the world. 

“ Seriously go, stop thinking about it too much. He’s more perfect for you than anyone could ever be, in all of the lives- Go before it’s too late. Ron would understand and I’ll handle” Ginny said, egging him on. 

Harry still waited until Ginny gave him a nod of affirmation which meant more to him than her encouragements all combined and immediately ran upto the room, packed his bag and ran outside through the back door and disapparating after having a last look of Ginny by the window giving him a nod, again. 

Within minutes Harry was knocking the poorly structured door of Palace Dè Elite. There was shuffling on the other side and some incoherent phrases while Harry waited this side and finally it came to a halt when he opened the door. 

“ Ha- Harry” He gasped in surprise. 

“ I want to spend it with you, this christmas, this eve, this new year, this holiday before we go back to school and pretend we hate each other, I want it just one time. I want to hold you and decorate our own christmas tree together even if it’s a shitty one, I want it and I want it with you wherever you are” Harry shrugged smiling as if he was a hopeless man in love dropping his bags to the ground. 

The other man awe-d and pulled Harry in a hug “ I love you” 

“ I love you too, Draco ” Harry replied in his neck, his arms holding him tight in his embrace. 

“ What about the Weasleys?” Draco asked after breaking away. 

Harry thought for a moment then remembered Ginny by the window “They’ll be alright. I just want to be you right now” 

Draco smiled and hugged him once again dragging him inside with him “ Come on you sap, lets have our own shitty version of Christmas”

Daddy's boy

Day 16- candy cane @hpdestress

" so we only have a couple more boxes to give away right ?" Harry asked as he pushed his spectacle closer to the bridge of his nose scanning the sheet of gifts to give away he had prepared to be more organised.

Draco mumbled, then nodded, itching his own nose due to the new specks he had to wear to read " I don't think we've given yet to the Harrison's, the Garet's and I still need to hand a box to the Parkinson's "

" You told me you had given to Parkinson's days ago " Harry complained looking over at Draco, sitting on the opposite side of the table.

" I never told you anything about that- okay- yeah I did but only because you get into that scolding mode that I don't take anything seriously, with your ' Draco, you're becoming more careless with age and you should be more careful. Where's your wit to always be punctual-' and all that, very boring speech" Draco sighed resting his chin against the cold counter then immediately taking it off after a flinch.

Harry rolled his eyes getting up from the chair " If I scold you then that means you are doing something wrong-"

" Don't go Monica on me "Draco dragged

" Well you know she is right and I knew you'd had something like this so I made an extra box of candy canes " Harry said as he opened the top shelf and took out a brown box labelled 'do not open without Harry's permission'.

" Real creative babe " Draco teased.

Harry mocked him with gibberish and sat down on the chair again and opened up the box whilst speaking " I made these extra because you somehow have been careless lately and I knew we'd need it so I kept it safe and- Where's all the candy canes from the box ?" He shook the box In his hand vigorously but nothing happened, the box remained Empty as he had taken it out.

" yeah- so you were saying" Draco pursed his lips trying to control his laughter.

" I swear I did- I made an extra batch and now it's just gone " Harry complained seriously.

" Yeah I'm going to say a racoon came in through the window who was tired and hungry and saw your candy canes and ate them and left the box there. He's really upset about doing that though" He was trying really hard to contol his laughter but getting a deadly look from Harry he broke into laughter.

" This isn't funny- somebody ate them " Harry said. A strange fuzzy idea came in his head but he hardly wanted to believe it. He really didn't like thinking it could have happened but when his eyes fell upon the corner of the room to a 4 year old Scorpius hiding behind the wall, he knew he was right.

" Scorp- Did you eat the candy canes ?" Harry asked in his Fatherly voice.

Scorpius ran towards Draco who picked him up in his arms and settled him in his lap and pushing his hair behind his forehead.

" They were tasty- and Daddy said I could eat them " Scorpius confessed.

Harry gasped at Draco " How could you let him ?"

Draco started laughing again " I'm sorry Scorp but I have to tell him the truth or you and I are both going to be dead in the bed-"

" But we agreed Daddy " Scorpius huffed.

" I'm sorry darling-" he kissed on top of Scorpius's head and confessed honestly " we just hid them. It's in that red box over the refrigerator "

" Why would you do it ?" Harry sighed getting up and picking up the box and double checking it's content.

" Because Daddy said it's fun to see your eyes go out of your socket and you lips go like that of a fish- like this" Scorpius pointed at his lips open in an 'O' shape that a fish makes.

Draco laughed louder along with Scorpius and Harry wanted to scold Draco for saying things like that to their 4 year old son but instead he himself started laughing.

" You really are your Daddy's boy " Harry smiled afterwards and ruffled Scorpius's hair before kissing his forehead.

" That I am " Scorpius agreed and Harry laughed again.

Sunset and Pizza

Day 18- Hogsmeade @hpdestress

Harry buried them under the invisible cloak again, Huffing under his breath.

" when I said we should go on a date in Hogsmeade this is definitely not what I meant " Draco grumbled under his breath but close enough for Harry to listen.

" Oh would you like me to take the veil off and walk off like a bride " Harry sarcastically responded.

Draco almost wanted to laugh but he didn't "well these are the results of you face planting in your broom, not anywhere else but over it "

" How was I supposed to know that Someone would be out in the fucking cold at midnight in the quidditch field watching me. I thought it was only you and me " Harry rolled his eyes and took a a sharp turn avoiding everyone else.

" Well Darling of course you have creepy stalkers following you every hour of everyday. You're Harry Potter, the boy who apparently doesn't die " Draco controlled his laughter again but a look from Harry and he was biting his palm to not release any sound.

" You think you're so funny- Well guess what my dear love, you're not " Harry narrowed his eyes at Draco and walked ahead again.

After a while of Draco cracking jokes up, he fell silent and just followed Harry as they walked deeper into Hogsmeade and towards the cliff apparently only Harry knew how to get to.

" How far is it ?" Draco groaned

" well if you weren't walking like a baby and making jokes about me half the trip we would've already been there " Harry replied distantly

" What did I tell you about your sarcasm- sometimes it hurts " Draco pouted.

Harry almost took him seriously but looking at his fake pout he rolled his eyes again " Says the one who's existence runs on being mean "

Draco scoffed, mumbling something under his breath which Harry chose to ignore and finally he was able to lift off the invisibility cloak when they reached a safer radar out of people's sight.

" We there yet ?" Draco asked again.

Harry took 5 more steps and announced " we're here "

Draco followed behind him and finally reached a small tent Harry had assumably set up before they came here with fairy lights dangling inside and a box of Pizza which Draco have grown into loving and blankets to keep themselves warm.

Draco intertwined their fingers tighter and went into the small tent, sat down along with Harry facing Hogsmeade from atop.

" I never knew Hogsmeade looked this beautiful from upside. Christmas makes it look even more beautiful " Draco smiled.

Harry smiled back at him and cast a small heating spell over the pizza and agreed " I discovered this place back in 4 year when nobody wanted to believe that I didn't put my name in that stupid fire. It bought me peace "

" Yeah- I remember envying you until the damned red eyes snake lived under my roof and basically played oujia board with his actual snake "

Harry laughed out loud, shaking his head " Do you even know what an oujia board is ?"

" Who cares- it's not like he was doing a kitty party with the death eaters dressed up in pink dresses " Draco joked, smiling himself.

Harry chuckled " He could've matched his pink with Umbridge "

Draco chuckled then after while of simply smiling at Harry, he said " Thank you for this"

" Don't mention- Pizza ?"

They sat there eating Pizza in the cold with the heating spell bringing them warmth and small jokes that they cackled with each other and enjoyed watching the hustling of the students down there. It was weird in its own how they landed up together and a story for other day, but even if they were pretty much the worst boyfriends the history had ever known, they were still pretty perfect for eachother and that was the most they could ever ask for. So what if instead of sugar coating and sweet talking they made of fun of each other and embarrassed them, so what if they didn't have the perfect first date, or what if they still get weird around each other, the most that mattered was this moment, that thing's that made the moment possible and this was possibly the best they could ever have.

Draco finally rested his head against Harry's shoulder as the sun had started settling and the students had started departing back to Hogwarts " This is pretty perfect isn't it ?"

" pretty or perfect ?" Harry countered

" No Harry- pretty perfect- it's a phrase-"

" how can it-"

" Nevermind I tried-" Draco groaned.

Harry laughed softly and kissed the top of his head, wrapping his arms closer to Draco's body " This is pretty perfect"

Draco smiled and nuzzled his face into Harry's neck.

It was pretty perfect, being with the best version of perfect they could ask for and the Beautiful sunset, yeah it was pretty perfect.
