A bunch of snow and a new drabble...
I hope everyones' new year has been a good one! As you can probably tell from the pic on top of my LJ, it's been pretty cold here at home. We just had this huge snow storm and the pic is the result. Everthing looks so beautiful and pristine when it first snows, but when it melts, what a mess! And today it melted quite a bit. Everything is so muddy and messy and I can't believe how much snow we still have in our front yard!
On a side note, I actually got around to writing a little drabble for jamie2109's and nocturnali's weekly challenge. It's been quite a while since I've written, so I'm a little rusty. Please forgive any typos you may come across. In the meantime, I hope you enjoy it! :)

Summary: A strange vase brings out a bit of truth.
*****************************************
“What did you say that was?”
“Vase.”
“Are you sure?”
“I’m not, but Neville is. He picked it up in Hati and had it sent it over this morning. Called it a belated wedding present.”
“Well, it’s the ugliest vase I’ve ever seen. Just about as ugly as the one my father used to have in his study.”
“Don’t let Neville hear you say that. He paid a mint for it I’m sure, if the packaging is anything to go by. When I asked him, Neville said he’d gotten it in some obscure antique store, I couldn’t even find it in the directory. I had to ask Dumbledore about it and when I did, he got the strangest look on his face. Actually has me quite worried now that I think about it.”
“Maybe we could wrap it back up and tuck it away in the corner of our basement? Then you wouldn’t have to worry. Might save my eyesight as well.”
“No way! I don’t want to have to explain why we’ve got this thing hidden down there instead of on display.”
“As if he’d ever know.”
“He’d find out soon enough Draco. He’s coming over on Sunday with his girlfriend.”
“Merlin’s balls! Remind me again Harry, why I let your friends invade our home on a regular basis and put up with their insignificant little minions.
“Because you love me?”
“Hrmphyargssdoo.”
“What was that Draco? I couldn’t hear you with your hand in front of your mouth and all.”
“Stop laughing at me, you know what I said!”
“No, I don’t. I’ve told you before, you mumble far too much.”
“You’re going to make me say it, aren’t you?”
“Hmm, not if you don’t mean it.”
“You know I do, and quit looking so smug! All right, all right, I’ll say it. But don’t you dare let your Griffindork friends know how far I’ve fallen. I’ve become far too sentimental and it’s all your fault! I said, I guess I do love you…very much… if you must know. There, I know you heard it that time!”
“I did Draco, loud and clear, even if you did whisper.”
“Ow! You’re going to break my ribs if you squeeze any tighter Harry.”
“I’m only returning the favor. I love you too, you know.”
“I know love, I know.”
