Summary: Draco tries to teach Harry how to ice skate.
"You're having me on."
Harry laughed at Draco's expression. "If I must risk life and limb to go ice skating with you, then you have to wear one of these," he said, holding up the ugly holiday sweaters. "Which do you prefer, the red one or the green one?"
The red sweater was adorned with Santa's face, featuring a beard made entirely of small white poms. The green sweater had a reindeer on it, including real bells on its harness.
Draco could only stare at them in horrified silence.
Harry made an executive decision. "You wear the reindeer one," he said, tossing it at his boyfriend. Draco caught it automatically, lips twisting into a sneer of revulsion. "If I fall down," Harry continued, "I want the soft sweater to cushion me." He pulled the red one on over his head. "How do I look?"
"You look ridiculous!"
"Perfect," Harry said with a grin. "Put yours on, and we'll be off."

Draco took Harry's hand and gave it a squeeze of encouragement. "Are you ready?"
"No," admitted Harry. "But, since you were such a good sport about wearing that hideous reindeer sweater, the least I can do is let you make a fool of me on the ice."
"I'm not going to make a fool out of you," said Draco. "You look foolish enough in that sweater."
"Oy!" Harry protested. He didn't get to say anything else, because Draco stepped onto the ice, tugging Harry with him. Harry's toes turned inward, and he began to wobble. He latched onto Draco's reindeer sweater with his free hand and clung to his boyfriend.
"Let go, Harry, or you'll knock us both down!" cried Draco. By the time the words left his mouth, the two of them tumbled to the ice.
"Ouch."
"So much for your soft Santa sweater, you plonker," grumbled Draco. He sat up and righted his hat, which had drooped over his eyes. Draco stood up on his skates and helped Harry up again. "Keep your toes pointed straight," he lectured. They tried again.
After much coaxing from Draco and two more undignified falls, Harry began to get the hang of ice skating. "I think I can do this on my own now," he said. Harry let go of Draco's hand and tentatively pushed off with one skate. He glided across the ice, maintaining his balance on his own. "Hey, this is fun!"
"Harry, watch out!"
...
"Ouch."
