Christmas Wishes

~

“A Muggle shop? Daft idea,” Draco grumbled.

Harry sighed. “Just stay here. I’ll be one minute.”

Harry dashed in and Draco began inspecting a gaudy display depicting elves in various stages of merriment. In the centre sat... Draco grinned, walking in. Santa wasn’t busy.

“Ho! What’s your Christmas wish?” Santa asked cheerily.

“I’m a bit old for that.”

“No one’s too old,” Santa said. “Sit.”

Draco’s hesitated as Santa patted his knee. As odd as it seemed, however, this felt right, so Draco stepped over several gaily wrapped parcels and sat.

“What’s your wish this year?” Santa asked.

Draco started to give a flippant answer, but something made him be truthful. “A commitment from Harry,” he whispered. “I want us to be a family.”

“What does Harry want?”

Draco shrugged.

“Ask.”

Draco looked up, Santa’s tone making him suspicious, but just then he got distracted.

“Draco?”

Seeing Harry, he said, “Thanks anyway, Santa,” before walking off.

“What were you doing?” Harry asked.

“Talking to Santa,” Draco said, pointing.

“I hope he didn’t answer,” Harry chuckled.

“What--?” When Draco looked back, it was clear Santa was a statue. He gaped.

“You okay?” Harry asked.

Draco shook his head. What’d just happened?

*gasp!* What the fudge! *raises an eyebrow* Was that magic? I bet it was. *laughs* I can't wait to see more, darling!

*claps* This is fun! We just get done with one set and now we have another!

p.s. - The icon is def for Draco ;)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee. I dunno, was it? *g*
You'd think Draco would recognize magic, though...
I dunno if this will be a long series, but it should be at least 3 stories long. ;) Glad you're along for the ride, hon!

[erikdesoir.insanejournal.com]

He didn't recognize it because he was high ...on love ...for Harry. ...Yeah.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahaha! Yeah, that's it. ;)

[felaine.insanejournal.com]

Hurray, another drabble series for those of us perishing from withdrawal from Advent-Verse.

I was as surprised as Draco at the turn of events, and eager to learn more. You are such a generous author.

Sorry for spamming you with comments today.
*practices creepy stalker look in mirror*

*g*
You all will start to give me a big head. ;)
I can't promise this will be abother set of 24 connected stores, but I think I may be able to manage three for the three prompts at the Hex Files.

Creepy? Ha! I have seen creepy and you are not it, my dear. *g*
And trust me, no writer ever complains about the number of comments. ;) Thanks, Felaine!

[sassy_cissa.insanejournal.com]

ohhhh....this is marvelous!!! I can't wait for the next part!!!

*taps foot*

Is it posted yet?

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha! It's written and is at the beta shoppe as we speak. Maybe I'll have it up later tonight, we'll have to see. *g*
Thanks, darling! :*

[witchdragon.insanejournal.com]

Oh very interesting *g*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee! I just hope I can keep it that way. ;)
Thanks, hon!

[lesyeuxverts.insanejournal.com]

Oooh, intriguing! Wonder what was up with the statue ... maybe Harry had something to do with it, hmm? :D

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee! Yay! Intriguing is good. *g*
Harry seems pretty surprised, actually. Maybe someone else is playing with them...? ;)

Thanks, Lyvvy!

[fleurdeliser.insanejournal.com]

You are mean.

Poor Draco. He probably thinks he's losing his mind.

*snuggles*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Me, mean? *looks innocent* Nah, I have a plan. *hopes it will work*

And Draco has far too much self confidence to think that. ;)
Thanks, Nessi!

[nefernat.insanejournal.com]

Ooooooooh....

Glad to see you've got another story ready for us to dive into *grins*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahaha! I dunno how far you can dive, but I plan to write at least three of these, so that's something. ;)
Thanks, sweetie!

[akuma_river.insanejournal.com]

Christmas magic!

How can Wizards not believe in Santa? lol.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee! Well, maybe they believe in the real Santa, not that silly Muggle version. Or something. Heh.
And yes, I suspect there is some type of magic afoot here ;)

Thanks, hon!

[winga.insanejournal.com]

That's the magic.
Even if Santa didn't tell what Harry wanted, Harry most certainly will (won't he?). And then Draco can be: "I love you too, you prat."
Okay, maybe I got carried away :P

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

LOL. No, no! Do continue. ;)
And Santa may not know what Harry wants, but if Draco asks I bet Harry will tell him. ;)

Thanks!

[winga.insanejournal.com]

You can't say Santa wouldn't know, he knows everyone's wishes. Or at least I've always thought so. How else would he be able to give just the right presents? But I hope Harry'll tell...

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

I suspect it'll come out eventually. :)

[angela_snape.insanejournal.com]

Sneaky girl... sucking us in to another "TBC". Naughty Ali!

(this was really good, BTW!)

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee! Yeah, I couldn't resist.
This will be short, though, I promise, hon! *g*

[jillypooh.insanejournal.com]

*hums Twilight Zone theme song* Weird! Can't wait to see where this leads!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hahahahah! *snorts at your icon*

And I just hope I can pull off my plan with this one... ;)
Thanks, hon!

[kabal42.insanejournal.com]

Oh! That was surprising! Love it, hon, looking forward to more.

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

*g*
Thanks, my dear! I hope my ultimate plan works. *g*

[firefly124.insanejournal.com]

Ooh, what happened? I love shy/insecure!Draco. *pets him*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Yeah, Draco is a cutie here. *snuggles him*
Stay tuned for more!
Thanks, hon. ;)

[sweetmelodykiss.insanejournal.com]

Ooh, made Draco do a double take. Can't wait to see what's next!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Hee. Yes, I did. Draco was up for some excitement, I think. ;)
Thanks, my dear!

[lalaith_niniel.insanejournal.com]

Oh, how you tempt me so, and just as I get back my regular internet service so that I can actually read things online instead of waiting. I'll forgive you though, since this promises to be very cute and end happily for Draco.

*sits and eagerly awaits the next part*

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

No worries, it should be up later, hon, just as soon as I get home (if I ever do) from work. :)
And I agree. Things should end well for him. *g*

[torino10154.insanejournal.com]

Love the Santa. Poor Draco LOL!

[alisanne.insanejournal.com]

Draco will come out on top in the end, no worries!

Thanks, hon. :)
