Part One
"Hawwy, Dwaco! Look!" Teddy said, pointing at the house in front of them as though they could possibly have missed it. "I see Ho Ho!"
Father Christmas, better known to Teddy as Ho Ho, was certainly the most prominent feature in the outrageous display before them, and that was saying a great deal. He stood a few heads taller than Harry, rotating slowly on a large platform set up in the middle of the front lawn and surrounded by more lights than really seemed wise.
Harry didn’t understand why anyone would want this many lights or plastic statues all over their house and front garden, and he didn’t even want to think about the electricity bill. Plus, the over-the-top decorations were attracting a bit of a crowd. Looking around them, Harry could see a number of families gathering with children of all ages, all wide-eyed and gaping just like Teddy was. He supposed maybe that was the whole point.
"How utterly horrifying," Draco said from beside him. "This is the wonderful muggle tradition you were so eager to share with Teddy?" Harry just rolled his eyes at Draco’s raised eyebrow.
"Keep your voice down, you prat. He likes it, see?" Teddy was pointing and babbling animatedly about every new candy cane and snowman he found. He looked so excited. "Though I must admit, this one is a bit much."
"That’s the understatement of the bloody year. For Merlin’s sake, there’s a dancing polar bear over there!"
Harry chuckled at the indignant look on Draco’s face, quickly turning it into a cough and looking away when the other man glanced at him. He placed a hand on top of Teddy’s head.
"What do you think, buddy, you want to see the next house?"
"Yes, peas! Mo’ lights, mo’ lights!" Harry grinned broadly as he grabbed Teddy’s little hand, happy that he was enjoying this so much. It was something he had always wanted to do when he was younger, but obviously the Dursleys had never taken him out for anything even remotely fun.
"Come on, Dwaco! You gotta hold my hand too!"
Draco looked entirely too pleased with himself as he took Teddy’s other hand, and Harry tried very hard not to think about how the three of them looked walking down the sidewalk together. Probably like a happy couple out with their adorable son, a voice that sounded remarkably like Hermione’s said from the back of his mind.
He resolutely ignored that absurd thought as they reached the next display.
"Oohhh, pwetty!"
This one was rather pretty. Neat lines of red and white bulbs trimmed every window and ran along the gutters and the pathway leading up to the front door. The tidy little hedges were draped with more twinkling white lights, but it was not remotely overwhelming, unlike at their last stop. Harry thought it looked rather like a gingerbread house.
There were definitely no spinning Santas in sight.
"I agree, Teddy. It is pretty. What do you say, Draco? Still horrified?"
"The lack of green was a poor decision," Draco narrowed his eyes at Harry’s snort. "But otherwise I suppose it’s not half bad. Though compared to that monstrosity we just left, anything would be downright delightful."
"Oh come on! You know you like the Gryffindor red, admit it."
"Never in your life will you hear me say anything of the sort, Potter."
"Hawwy, look at dis!" Teddy bent down to pick something up off the ground next to him and then pushed it into Harry’s hand. "Is it holly?"
Looking down, he saw that it was a greeting card with a simple drawing of mistletoe on the front.
"What is it, Potter?" Harry didn’t really register Draco’s question as he read out the short message at the bottom.
"Let’s make out."
"Excuse me!"
