The Christmas Knickers, in which one unlucky guest at Harry and Draco's party receives a frilly pair of knickers.
The evening of the seventh annual Malfoy-Potter Christmas party arrived amid much anticipation. Harry and Draco had gone all out this year, hiring professional decorators and caterers. By the time the guests began arriving, everything was in place and even Draco was stress-free. The party was a smashing success with good food, animated conversations, music and dancing.
At midnight, it was time for the highlight of the party. Each year, Harry and Draco provided their guests with Christmas crackers that were filled with small gifts, but one cracker would contain a ridiculously frilly pair of knickers. The unlucky recipient of the knickers would be expected to wear them for the rest of the evening. The crackers were handed out shortly before midnight, and when the clock struck the hour, guests paired up to pull them open to reveal their gifts. The commotion eventually died down and everyone began looking around to see who had gotten the knickers.
Finally, Harry spoke up. "Who got the knickers?" he asked, eyes scanning the crowd.
Narcissa Malfoy cleared her throat and fixed a stern glare on her husband. Lucius colored slightly before sticking his nose in the air and announcing, "I seem to have received the...undergarment in question."
His declaration was greeted with laughter, cheers and shrill whistles from the assemblage. Lucius flushed more, but Narcissa saved the day by taking the knickers from her husband. "Allow me, darling," she said, wrapping the scrap of purple lace around his forearm. Lucius raised his arm to show that he was wearing the knickers and was met with applause. Narcissa leaned close to him to whisper, "You're a good sport, darling. I'll reward you by wearing the knickers once we get home."
