Prompt: #1 snowy London "We'll I think that was a success." Harry says the moment they get back into the house.
They've said good bye to their guests and go up to bed.
It's the middle of the night when Harry wakes up and finds that Draco is no longer in bed. His side of the bed feels cold so he's been gone for a while. He slips on his glasses and his slippers to ward off against the chill on their wooden floors and sets out to find him.
A noise in the kitchen alerts him to his location and he starts creeping forward, not wanting to give himself away. The stoves are on and he can see there are about six Christmas puddings on the center table of the kitchen.
"Okay, heat the brandy, set it a fire." Draco says softly to himself and Harry sees him use his wand to light what must be the Brandy in the pan. He reaches in with a ladle and scoops up some of the liquid that he can clearly see blue flames rising in the ladle and pours it evenly over one of the Christmas Puddings.
He does this to the five others and then sighs with satisfaction watching the flames die out on each dessert.
"Perfect."
Harry moves back into the shadows. Molly had requested that they provide the Christmas Pudding for their Christmas dinner and Harry had just been happy they were treating them like the other couples attending. Watching Draco prepare so hard for the day, he wished other people could see this side of him and understand why it had been possible for Harry to forgive the past and why he cherished his future with the Slytherin so much.
He crept back to their room so that he wouldn't make him uncomfortable and waited for the man to return to bed.
