A Quiet Evening

~

“I’d hoped for a quiet evening,” Harry confessed.

“This isn’t quiet enough for you?” Draco asked.

Harry had to admit that while dinner had been superb, he was less than comfortable. Perhaps it was the company.

“Maybe quiet isn’t the word,” he admitted. “I was hoping for a simpler Halloween.”

“This is simple,” Draco said. Smiling at the ghost to his right, he said, “And traditional, right, Mother?”

Narcissa nodded politely while Lucius continued to ignore everyone. Lily and James Potter just kept shooting angry looks towards Draco’s parents.

Harry sighed. “Maybe next year we can just give out candy?”

Ahahaha!

That's a bit creepy, really. I'm with Harry. Candy is good.

[akuma_river.insanejournal.com]

*laughs*

Love that last line.

[ships_harry.insanejournal.com]

Lucius... ♥♥♥

Funny and full of yay :-).

[moonystone.insanejournal.com]

*lol* quiet indeed. Actually a very sweet gesture (reminds me of Welcome to the family) - if the parents would behave more friendly. Candy sounds better ;)

[hambares.insanejournal.com]

Tee hee! I think Harry is right. Just giving out candy is so much easier then dealing with the inlaws and parents

[angela_snape.insanejournal.com]

Hallowe'en dinner with all their dead parents? I can see where that would be uncomfortable!

[winter_june.insanejournal.com]

Heheheh. I'm with everyone, next year giving candy or dinning out.

[sweetmelodykiss.insanejournal.com]

Ha! With those ghosts together in the same room, I'm with Harry -- give out candy. Too cute!

[shiv5468.insanejournal.com]

And what threats did they have to make to Lucius to make him behave?

[witchdragon.insanejournal.com]

Poor Harry!

[sassy_cissa.insanejournal.com]

awww...I'd love to be able to have dinner with my parents again, but I understand having Draco's and his parents in the same room might be a bit much.

*snuggles*

and why just okay? *worries*

[kaykayen.insanejournal.com]

*LOL* I imagine just having one set of their parents would be odd but both of them would be rather... tense! Dinner conversation would be quiet for sure!

Perhaps this is not one of those good traditions in their case. Yes, definitely go with the muggle tradition of candy next year!

[cblue9.insanejournal.com]

Make them give candy next year!
Any evening with the Malfoy's ghosts present is bound to be 'dead' quiet!*g*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL, yeah, I know what you mean. *shivers*
Thanks, sweetie!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Poor Harry. *giggles*
Thanks, my dear!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Heee, thanks, hon!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Maybe the parents'll have better attitudes when Harry and Draco have children? ;)
Thanks, hon!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah.
I think Harry will be campaigning for candy next year. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. Wizarding traditions are strange. *nods*
Poor Harry will get accustomed eventually. :)
Thanks, sweetie!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL.
Yeah, he just has to convince Draco now. ;)
Thank you, my dear!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Oh yeah, and much more fun, I think. ;)
Thank you!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Only Narcissa knows, and she's not saying. ;)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. Before you feel too sorry for him, just remember he does get to sleep with Draco every night. ;)
*g*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, always be careful what you wish for, right?
Thanks, babe! *hugs*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL, yeah. And if they still want to have the parents over they could have them help give out the candy. ;)
Thanks, my dear!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LMAO! True enough. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[lackofmendacity.insanejournal.com]

Oh, poor Harry. I think Draco should indulge Harry's childish side next year. *nods*

I love the scenario you've created though. You can imagine Harry was pleased about not having to meet the in-laws, heh. :D

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Oh, I think Harry'll find a way to persuade Draco next year.
Thanks, sweetie!

[mordyn4.insanejournal.com]

:O

Brilliant idea.

LOL! Awwwwkward...

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. You know, I think that's how Draco sold it to Harry... ;)
*hugs*

[jaddziadax.insanejournal.com]

>:[ I agree with Harry :3
heheeh

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. Yeah, maybe Draco will let him choose next year. :)
Thanks, hon!
