As one Harry Potter and one Draco Malfoy tromped through the heavy snow toward the Forbidden Forest, the white flakes fell in a thick shroud and almost obscured their view. When they entered the Forest, however, the snowfall seemed to stop, except for a few errant flakes here and there. Draco Malfoy, having kept quiet the entire journey in favor of getting irreparably lost while bitching at Harry, decided that now was an opportune time to start said bitching.
“Potter…” he hissed through clenched teeth as he brushed snow off of his cloak. Harry didn’t pay him much attention, though, and decided instead to brush the snow off of his own cloak before setting off further into the woods, wand at the ready.
“Potter!” Draco fairly howled now, running to catch up. As he fell in step with Harry’s long-legged stride, he reached out and snatched at Harry’s sleeve, effectively jerking him to a stop. “Explain to me why we simply cannot find this…this Earl-king thing tomorrow when the snow stops!”
Harry sighed and kissed his boyfriend chastely on the lips. “It’s an Erkling, Draco, and we can’t wait because it’s already tried eating some of the first-years. Besides, Hagrid trusts us to get it back to Germany where it belongs. If the Ministry gets wind of this, they’ll kill it first and ask questions later. Is there anything else you need to know, love?”
“Why can’t I go back inside and wait for you by the fire?” Draco was pouting now, although if asked, he would much rather hex you than admit it.
“Because you’re helping me.” Harry kissed his boyfriend one more time before resuming his search for the Erkling. Draco dutifully followed, though it wasn’t long before the grumbling began.
“Stupid half-giant…stupid earl-king…stupid snow…Hey Harry?”
Harry didn’t bother stopping, but answered with a grunt.
“Have you ever had sex in the snow?” Draco’s voice came from somewhere behind him and the question really would have shocked him had it not been asked by Draco Malfoy.
“No, love. I’ve never had sex in the snow.” Harry continued with his steady pace, wanting nothing more than to be inside with Draco, cuddled beside the warm fire.
“Want to?” That stopped him. Harry turned around and watched as Draco, sultry pout on his face, sauntered closer until their breaths mingled. “We could make our own fire,” he whispered against Harry’s lips. Oh Bugger, he thought. Hope the first-years will be alright…
