Author's Notes: Utterly unbetaed. Part 21 of the Verse: In Dreams / Catch up from part one
Harry nearly panicked when Malfoy announced to Teddy (and Andromeda) that he was inviting him over for a "sleep over."
Andromeda walked away, carrying Teddy, nearly giggling.
"Erm...what?" Harry stammered as he tried to respond to Malfoy regarding his invitation.
"I didn't really mean--"
"Yes."
"Yes?" Malfoy raised an eyebrow.
"You're inviting me over," Harry said, "I'd like that."
"Great!"
They took the Floo to Malfoy's flat and Harry settled on the sofa as Malfoy went to fetch some Firewhisky.
"It's great that you're finally coming over for Christmas at the Weasleys," Harry said, hoping that Malfoy would catch on the fact that the Weasleys were extremely excited about it.
"There's only so many years that Pansy could make me feel guilty for being alone on Yule night, that I had to accept the invitation at least once," Malfoy answered.
"Why do you spend it alone?" Harry asked, curious. Before Ron married Pansy, no one had any idea that they usually spent their holidays alone together and after Pansy was married, Malfoy had settled on being alone every year. Harry had always wanted to know why, but never knew how to ask.
"Well..." Malfoy paused. He took a shot of the Firewhisky. "When you've had the Dark Lord spend Yuletide with you...you sort of lose all reason to celebrate."
"Oh," Harry said. "I--"
"That's why when I started to have these dreams, the creature; I thought it was the Dark Lord returning in my dreams. Haunting me."
"Well, I suppose the upside to that is that it's not him. It's just plain old Harry." Harry finished the last of his drink.
Malfoy smiled. "There's nothing plain, or old about you."
Harry bit his lower lip as he gulped down the last of his Firewhisky.
