Leave it to Potter to talk about "breath-taking beauty." Even with his mismatched clothes and his ruffled hair, the man looked gorgeous. No matter how much Draco tried to deny his attraction to Potter, over the years, it had been growing. He could easily blame Teddy for that - that boy was the reason Potter and Draco had started spending so much time together, but how could blame a little boy. No, he was just going to blame Potter. Because...well, Potter.
"Hey are you ready to go to the other Christmas celebration now or do you want to stick around with Muggles some more?" Draco asked turning to Teddy. He needed a distraction
"What other celebration?" Potter asked.
"The Wizarding children's-" Draco whispered to Potter.
"Oh, I didn't realise you had made plans for after-" Potter hesitated.
"You're more than welcome to join us, of course," Draco said jumping in before he gave Teddy or Potter the wrong idea.
"Yeah, but I'm dressed in a Santa suit," Potter answered.
"You do realise you're Harry Potter, right?" Draco said and Potter looked at him wide-eyed. "That might not mean anything to Muggles but at the other Christmas party if the Saviour showed up as a Muggle Santa, the children would love it."
Potter nodded, yet he still looked a bit reluctant. Draco tapped on Teddy's shoulder and tilted his head towards Potter.
"Come on, Harry. You promised to spend the day with me and Draco," Teddy said.
"Alright, but if it gets weird, I'll be going home to change," Potter said, and they walked away from the crowd to the closest Apparition point.
Draco, Teddy, and Potter held hands as Draco Disapparated them to the Diagon Alley Children's Christmas celebration.
"How did I never know about this place?" Potter said as he looked around in awe. The small children's park that was usually deserted in the winter was lit up brighter than any Quidditch Stadium during a league game. Enchanted snow was falling from the sky but it would disappear as soon as it landed on the hundreds of candles that were floating above.
Draco saw the relief in Potter's eyes when he saw other wizards that were also dressed as either Santa Claus or Mrs Claus, along with various other costumed beings celebrating the Winter Solstice.
"Draco and I have been coming here every year," Teddy informed Potter. "I usually spend Christmas day with you, Harry-"
"I see I've been missing out," Potter said.
"And we've been missing you," Draco answered.
