Author's Notes: Unbetaed. No idea where this is going. So like, don't expect anything spectacular.

First time AN only: Every year, as I start a Christmas Story for 25 Days of Harry and Draco (and other comms), I like to remind the audience that the author grew up in a polytheistic household with beliefs in eastern religions. Now, as an adult, the author is agnostic, married to a former Catholic - turned atheist from Latin America.

Therefore, any references to Christianity and Christmas in the story come from references from television or random google searches trying to make everything sound extra British. There will be (probably) lots of mistakes and things might just sound plain ol’ American. So of course, as always, don’t like - don’t read.




The tree was almost all covered under the snow but the children in the park didn't seem to mind or care. Draco followed, slow at first, keeping a bit of distance away from young Teddy as he waddled his way.

Draco smiled down at the foot prints he was leaving in the snow. The boy insisted on going to the Muggle park, and though Draco could have used magic to protect his little cousin, he knew it was best to dress him warm for the weather than to put on a warm cloak on him. Other people, mostly Muggles, would have found it odd that a little boy wasn't all bundled up.

"Draco, look!" Teddy yelled, holding his pet toy dragon close to him. He held it by its mouth, where a small peppermint stick was glued on. It was silly, and Draco hated it. Mainly because it was Teddy's favourite toy and it hadn't been a present from Draco himself.

"I'm right behind you, Teddy," Draco said as he continued walking.

He nearly froze in his place when he realised what Teddy was yelling about. It wasn't the tree… but Harry Potter standing by it. Dressed as Father Christmas.
