Fleur strutted through the hallway, all of the students stepping off to the side. They were going to Harry's for Yule and she couldn't wait!
"Fleur, do you think Harry will be excited to see us?" Gabrielle asked and she fed MH a mouse. She had convinced the other students she was the next Dark Lord and they addressed her as such.
"Of course! Ron said Harry gave himself bangs! Can you imagine how cute he looks?" She sighed happily. Harry was like the little brother she never had.
"Oh yeah? Ron told you that?" She flushed at the look her sister gave her and threw a pillow in her face.
"Shut up, Gabrielle." She was thankful her sister still hadn't figured out how to crack the lock on her diary. She would never let her live down the Fleur Weasley scribbled all over the pages. She had decided the red haired boy was hers. It had taken her some time to get used to the idea but the more she thought about it, the more she liked it. Ron was funny and kind. He stuck up for what he believed in and he tried to help his friends. It didn't hurt that he was so tall or that his freckles reminded her of the constellations.
"Fleur, your pater is here!" One of her minions yelled and flinched when they saw Gabrielle in the room. The student body had warmly welcomed her back after the last time she left Gabrielle in charge. It was obvious the oldest Delacour sibling was the most stable.
"Coming! Let's go, Gabi!" She skipped towards her pater and hugged him tightly. The other students shouted out goodbyes and she waved at them.
"Let's go girls, your parents are waiting." They apparated to Delacour Villa and she hugged her Mama. Papa had already sent their presents ahead so they wouldn't have to make several trips.
"Now girls, you must be on your best behavior! Promise me." They promised her and they were soon on their way.~~~~~~
Lucius collapsed dramatically on Sirius's sofa and sighed.
"Lucius, what are you doing here?" Severus asked as he marked essays, his red ink slashing through the incorrect answers.
"Cissy kicked me out for the day. She said I was "getting in the way."" He pouted and Severus ignored him.
"It's strange, isn't it?" Severus cocked his head to the side.
"Hm?" He kicked his boots off before continuing.
"Could you imagine our lives like this ten years ago?" Ten years ago he had been knee deep in dead bodies and dark magic, praying the Dark Lord wouldn't kill him. He had been a nervous wreck, his hair had started falling out in clumps. He had been convinced the Dark Lord had cursed him because he was jealous of his beautiful locks. He would never say it out loud, he had barely dared to think it. It had been a horrible time in his life and he had never been more grateful that Harry had destroyed the crazed man that night so long ago.
"Can you imagine telling young Severus that I would be shacking up with Black? I would have crucio'd you." They shared a laugh.
"I can't believe I'm allowed to be so happy in my life." Lucius agreed with the dour man. Most people couldn't understand why he and Severus were so close but the real reason was because they were so alike. They cared so deeply, it was a weakness they had to do anything to protect. Lucius had slaughtered other wizards to protect his family and he didn't regret it. Some would call him evil but he didn't care. He would do anything to protect his family and Severus was the same way.
"I still can't believe you threw yourself out the window at the Ball! You could have broken your neck!" They bickered back and forth, enjoying the crackling fire.
Perhaps they did deserve to be happy.~~~~~~
Tonks giggled as Cedric struggled to wrap his presents. The boy couldn't wrap anything to save his life. He had used a whole roll of tape on one present!
"Are you sure you don't want help?" He glared at her before slumping his shoulders.
"Please help me, oh great and powerful Tonks!" She snorted at his dramatics before quickly finishing the other gifts. A pop had them both looking up. Dobby was wearing mismatched Christmas socks and a wreath in his head.
"Hello! Master Draco is having a snowball fight and invited his friends! Mister Diggory will be eliminated if he tries any funny business." Dobby's high pitched voice echoed around the room.
"A snowball fight? Sign me up!" Tonks raced around the room, pulling on her layers and tightening her boots. Being an only child, she never had any siblings to play with her in the snow. Last winter had been so much fun with her cousins!
"Cedric, let's go!" Dobby took their hands and they appeared on the grounds of Malfoy Manor.
"You came!" Harry ran over and hugged them tightly, his Slytherin scarf standing out against the white snow. The whole HFC was there including the French girls, Luna, Percy and his clingy boyfriend.
"Alright, we'll split into teams and the last ones standing win!" She gave a whoop when she got on Herm's team. The girl was a monster when it came to winning. Tonks had seen her run out of ink during an exam and use her own blood to finish. She was hardcore. Of course she had gotten detention for "interrupting someone else's class. You are a fourth year, Miss. Tonks. Act like it." McGonagall was such a stick in the mud. Maybe she could convince Cedric they should move all the furniture in her office two inches to the right. She was sure it would drive the strict Professor crazy. Percy quickly made a giant snow wall in front of them and they started strategizing. Half an hour later, she was somehow the last one standing. They had lost Percy to the enemy and Fleur had tripped watching Ron bend over causing the usually graceful girl to get hit by the twins. Ron had taken the twins out after that, even though they were on his team.
"That's for hitting someone when they're down!" He had shouted and she swore the French girl had swooned. Nevile had been the one to get Herm. In her defense, they didn't know how the shy boy had gotten stuck in the tree either. He had fallen from the branch trying to get down and had surprised Herm enough that her snowballs had exploded on them. She slowly walked around and froze when her foot stepped on something swishy. Cedric erupted from underneath the snow and grabbed her. She gave a scream and punched him in the nose. They tumbled to the ground and she held her hand to her heart.
"Cedric! I thought you were a snow monster!" He gave her a cheeky grin and a wink.
"I'll be anything you want me to be!"~~~~~~
Harry straightened his deer antlers and snuck into his parents room. Draco told him he would wake his parents up and they could meet in the sitting room. He found Papa Sirius curled into a ball on the edge of the bed and Father Severus was sprawled out. Harry took a deep breath and launched himself on the bed. Dudley used to do this and his Aunt would smile so brightly at him. Harry was curious how his dads would react. Father Severus sat up and caught him, his eyes staring at him blearily. Papa Sirius shot up and yelled "I'm allergic to shellfish" before falling off the bed. Harry reached into his pocket and threw the confetti he had hidden.
"Happy Yule!" After hugs from both of his dads, it was finally time to open presents.
"This is for you, Father." He watched him like a hawk as he opened his gift to reveal five glass vials.
"It's basilisk venom. Bubbles let me milk him." Father Severus gave a cheer and spun him around.
"This is priceless, my darling boy. Thank you so much." He had gotten Mummy Malfoy a sword made by dwarves and Daddy Malfoy got a stunning hair clip in the shape of a winged snake.
"This is for you, Papa." It was a book titled "How to convince your partner to marry you!"
"Oh wow, thank you so much pup!" He giggled and said "open it up!" Inside were two tickets to a rock concert Sirius was always talking about. He was tackled in a hug by his excited godfather and had to fix his headband.
"Here you go, Draco. I hope you like them." He watched Draco open his first gift. He slipped on the basilisk vest and gave a twirl.
"I'm invincible!" He shouted and everyone laughed as he plopped down. Harry watched him open his second gift nervously. He hoped he liked it.
Draco held it tightly to his chest and gave him an adoring look.
"What is it, pup?"
"I bought Draco a star and named it after him. Now every time he looks at the sky, he'll think of me." Daddy Malfoy hooted with laughter as Papa Sirius sighed.
"Okay pup, it's your turn!" His godfather and Father Severus had gotten him a potions making kit. It promised him 101 different potion combinations. The Malfoy's had gotten him a new wardrobe and a ticket to the dragon reserve again!
"Here you go, my love. I hope you like it." He opened his gift to find a baby reptile.
"It's a crocodile! Apparently one of Neville's crocodiles that live in his moat is a boy and they let me have one of the eggs." The baby crocodile growled out "mama" and curled up in his lap. Harry kissed the top of his head and beamed at his beloved.
"His name is Snappy!"
