Fic Rec: Reigning Champ by LadySlytherin
Title: Reigning Champ
Author: Lady Slytherin
Rating: PG-13
Word Count: ~14,00
Warnings: None
Summary: If there's one thing every Slytherin loves, it's a good game. Too Hot was played at every party Slytherin House had hosted for years, and Draco had won every round since the first time he played. Pride in his title as Champion was to be expected. Stating it like a challenge in front of the returning Eighth-Year Gryffindors? Not Draco's brightest move, to be sure.
Combine the challenge with mistletoe, feminine wiles and secret plots, Ron Weasley's temper, and an unexpected connection with a Dragonologist and Draco's Christmas just got a whole lot more complicated!
Why I loved it:This fic was so much fun from start to finish! I honestly couldn’t believe that it hadn’t been rec’d here before, so I’m glad to be sharing it with you now. I absolutely loved every single second of it, from Draco’s smug superiority to the inclusion of one of my personal favorite characters, Charlie. It’s so entertaining to watch all of the returning Eighth-Year Gryffindors try and beat Draco’s record, but as they continue having to cede to him, he slowly earns their respect. Also, the UST between Harry and Draco is delicious! If you’re looking for a sweet, lovely, and thoroughly entertaining fic, then check this one out! (There’s also bonus holiday feels :))
Excerpt:It took until Monday for Ron to decide he was going to try. He had finally given in, mostly because of Hermione. Several more people had tried to best Draco - including a fourth try by Blaise and a second, then third, try by Seamus - and Ron had whined that there was no way Draco was that good of a kisser. Hermione had then primly stated that if Ron was so certain then he should kiss Draco himself and prove it. So it was that, amidst the Eights decorating their Common Room for Christmas (which was on Friday) with garland and shiny baubles and a sprig or two of mistletoe, Ron stormed over to where Draco was lounging.
