Draco's POV:
The guests wait patiently in the garden as I summon some blankets placing them on the garden furniture.
I take the warmest blanket and wrap it around Harry's shoulders.
He smirks at me holding it open and wrapping me up with him.
"Master Draco. Shall we start now?" Bunny asks popping up on the chair beside me.
"Yes let's start when you are ready Bunny," I pull out my wand raising it to the sky and shooting a stream of gold in the air ending in stars to let the elves know to get ready.
"Make sure you put on a coat and warm shoes on out here Bunny, it's cold," I say fondly and the elf smiles nodding at me as she disappears.
"Her coat? Your elves are free?" Hermione asks seeming surprised.
"Yes, I convinced them to be freed with the promise of paid work at the manor. Some, like Bunny, also come with me to work at hogwarts when I'm there."
Hermione smiles seeming proud for some reason.
"You have a disturbing connection to that bloody elf, it's creepy. You know they would all work for free," father chuckles getting a glare from Hermione.
"Don't be mean father. Bunny is my friend, she always has been," I say firmly getting a a squeeze from Harry and an amused look from father.
"Don't you dare go on about how Bunny raised you Mr." Mother scolds making Harry and Ron snigger.
"Well...." I begin teasingly, quickly deflecting the spell she sent my way so the water falls beside me.
"If anything she was my co-parent," mother says firmly. Father narrows his eyes, "so what was I then?"
"The wallet dear," she says kissing his hand. I chuckle getting a glare from him.
"Oh laugh all you want son! Its not like I ever left you wanting for anything. You said you wanted something and you got it," he snaps and I shrug, I suppose despite his many faults as a parent that is true.
"Yeah and look where that got him, can you imagine how he'd be if he didn't get what he wanted," Ron laughs rolling his eyes in my direction.
I glare at him and his mother who is nodding a little too smugly.
"And when is it, that you imagine that I'm not going to get what I want, Weasley!?" I snap turning to glare at him and he holds up his hands defensively.
"No one can get what they want all the time," Mrs Weasley says in a tone a bit to snarky for my liking.
"Well so far I have managed it," I sulk crossing my arms causing mother to tut and give father a knowing look.
"I do apologise Harry, I can't help but blame myself, I don't know how you manage him," father teases but gives Harry a very real sympathetic look.
"No worries Lucius, it's very simple. He gets what he wants. When he wants. Always," Harry winks at me and I grin moving closer to him as he snakes his arm around me pulling me close.
"That's the method that's always worked for me, Merlin how I have spoiled my child," father laughs and mother nods in agreement.
"Really Harry?" Ron laughs rolling his eyes at my boyfriend.
"Yes Ron! Really. He gets whatever he wants and I'll always make sure of that," Harry says firmly
I raise my eyebrows smugly in Ron's direction smirking at Mrs Weasley who scoffs. Ron chuckles and shakes his head at us.
"You always were a drama Queen Draco," Pansy drawls, "you better not spoil your godchild as badly as you were spoiled."
I smirk. How can she expect anything else?
"We shall see, not like the understudy godfather can stop me," I wink at Harry and he rolls his eyes.
"Yes I think we have pretty much established that you have him whipped dear," Pansy teases.
Harry doesn't protest looking amused by the comment.
"Maybe later huh?" He whispers quietly to me and I feel my face heat up, I am very thankful for the low lighting, and the fact that some of the others seem to be talking about what sort of display I have planned.
I can't believe Harry, he's very sweet to me but also a pervert. Two can play that game I think.
"Oh yeah, whatever I want then?" I whisper into his ear flirtatiously feeling the rise and fall of his chest as he chuckles lightly.
"Of course! Always whatever you want....Princess," he teases back, I feel his smirk against my ear, he kisses my cheek turning to face the sky leaving me standing there blushing profusely. How is it that I'm always the one left blushing and flustered?
"So easy to make you blush posh boy, not used to such common vulgarities," he winks at me again as if he was reading my mind.
I frown at him my expression softening as he cuddles me closer.
I raise my wand again sending green sparks in the air and the sky fills with flashes of light.
I tried to think of things that the guests would like when I planned it with Bunny.
A sliver ferret dances across the sky making Harry smile wider. The ferret faded a orange Persian cat taking its place, running over coloured books and appearing to jump from the stars. I watch Hermione grin widely turning to me.
The cat chases a small ball which turns into a snitch a game of quidditch playing out across the sky with flashes of brooms, balls and hoops. The faceless player that catches the snitch is in Slytherin colours making Blaise and Pansy smirk at me and Harry raise an eyebrow.
The snitch explodes in a flash of gold clearing the sky as the image Arthur's blue muggle car breaks through the gold flying around the sky eventually landing in front of the image of the large sparkling burrow. I think I notice a small smile from Mrs Weasley also.
Sparks fly from one of the burrow windows and images imitating Weasley wizard wheezes products flash across the sky ending with a large dragon like they set on Unbridge. The dragon changes to a Ukrainian ironbelly, three figures clinging to the back making Ron gasp excitedly pointing it out to Harry and Hermione.
The dragon roars breathing fire that erupt into fields of Lily's and narcissus flowers.
Mother smirks knowingly holding my arm.
The field changes to colourful, sparkling pansies parting to reveal a glittering version of Blaise and Pansys home.
The home grows merging into Hogwarts. The lights from the windows glow brighter than the castle which shimmers also the stars in the sky hitting key points of the castle.
The house colours roll across the castle the green and red merging the closest together making Harry squeeze my side.
The castle explodes into flashes of colour with a few lighting bolts that I threw in for my own amusement. I get an amused look from Harry too.
The words happy new year flash across the sky in green, then red, blue and yellow.
