The Burrow Visit

Another story update!! This one takes place when Harry visits the Burrow for Christmas and brings Draco with him.

The air was chilly and smelled of snow. The sky was filled with dark clouds that were visibly heavy and ready to snow at any time. Every thing screamed there would be a white christmas, which filled the air with palpable excitement. The streets of Hogsmeade were bustling, not only with locals but also students. Witches and wizards holding many packages, talking excitedly as Christmas cheer floated in the air. The village shop fronts were decorated beautifully with garlands and bows, everything screamed christmas. Everyone was so caught up, they were to busy to notice a pair of young men, holding hands, enjoying the lights and decorations. Not that this was an odd sight to see, aka that of two people of the same sex holding hands,  but who the couple was could be deemed slightly different.

A young man with sharp edged features, silver eyes, fair skin, pale blonde hair that was well kept, who was slightly taller than his companion but no where near as broad and muscular. The other young man had slightly softer but no less attractive features, tanned skin and bright green eyes, with black hair that was shaggy and grew to his shoulders, the fringe covering his signature tell, a lightning bolt scar on his forehead. They walked, hands intertwined feet making crunching noises in the snow, and wide smiles across their faces. Occassionally they would stop and stare into a store window at something that caught their eye, but mostly they just walked, no one knew where to, but then again, it wasn't anyone else's business.

"Where are we actually going?" Draco asked

"On an adventure" was all Harry replied back with

Draco gave a look of curiosity but didn't question it any further, instead, he gently squeezed Harry's hand three times, signaling the words "i love you" to the other. Harry's smile grew wider as they walked. Harry lead them past the gates of town towards the mountains. They walked a path that appeared to be unkempt and untracked. Draco was taking in the beauty of the snow covered trees when they gently came to a stop. It was a meadow, covered with snow, but in the center stood a magical bubble, where the earth was untouched by the cold and ice, instead flowers bloomed, and a blanket awaited. Harry lead the other boy over to the bubble and they pressed through its surface, where it was warm and smelled of wild flowers. They laid on the blanket and watched the snow fall around them.

"When did you have time to do this?" Draco asked

"Early this morning, I walked here before I went to get you" Harry smiled as he talked

"It's wonderful in here, I wish we could stay forever" Draco sighed happily

Harry, who had been laying on his back, turned onto his side to face the blonde. At first Draco hadn't noticed due to his eyes being shut, but when he opened them, he too turned on his side.

"What's on your mind?" Draco asked softly as he watched Harry's face

"I want to ask you something, I just don't know how you will answer" Harry replied

"You never will if you don't ask" Draco gave an encouraging smile

Harry took a deep breathe and organized his thoughts into a cohesive sentence.

"I wanted to know if you would come to the Weasley's with me for christmas this year" Harry asked, his eyes searching Draco's face

At first Draco didn't reply, he was in shock that Harry's family would even want him in their home, but his face softened into a smile, much to Harry's relief.

"Of course, are you sure Molly wants me there?" Draco asked

"She hand wrote me a letter asking if you would come with me this year, she really wants to meet you, and properly this time." Harry replied
