Author’s Notes: Written for this week's holiday posting at
hp_humpdrabbles. The prompt used was
naughty or nice? Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the house...
Draco Malfoy was not in a good mood as he Apparated into the foyer of his flat. It was tradition that he spend Christmas Eve with his parents at the Manor, which he’d never minded. Even though he was in his late-twenties, his mother still doted on him as much as she ever had.
No, his foul mood could be attributed towards his girlfriend. Or rather, her employers. Who just happened to be her brothers. Who gave a rat’s arse if Christmas Eve was the second busiest day at Weasleys’ Wizards Wheezes (just after the day before term started at Hogwarts)? It was Christmas bloody Eve, and his girlfriend was supposed to be with him at dinner.
...not a creature was stirring, not even a mouse
He’d argued, of course -- but in his defense, he’d thought he’d been quite diplomatic. He’d only referred to her youngest brother as a ‘flame-haired tosser’ twice; nearly a record for him. Perhaps they would let her leave early? She could still make it in time for dessert and coffee.
But no, not his noble girlfriend. George had to be home early for Roxanne’s first Christmas Eve -- never mind that the baby was only three months old and wouldn’t even remember the damned night. There was no arguing with Ginny when she her mind was set.
It was both endearing and infuriating.
The stockings were hung by the chimney with care...
And to make matters worse, she’d decided to spend the night at the Burrow. We have to be there early for Christmas breakfast, Draco, she’d said. You can just join me in the morning. Bloody woman. Why was she being so difficult? Was the idea of Christmas Eve sex really beyond the realm of possibility?
He’d even bought special Christmas knickers for her. Green with a white fur trim. The shopgirl had tried to insist upon the red, but he’d stood firm. Red clashed horribly with that Weasley hair of hers.
That Weasley hair he just wanted to see spread out over his pillow.
...with hopes that Saint Nicholas soon would be there
He let out a frustrated groan and opened the door to his bedroom...
And stopped dead in his tracks. For there on the bed was the most perfect present he could have imagined. Ginny -- his beautiful, annoying girlfriend -- spread out on the sheets with nothing but a strategically placed bow hiding her sex from view. (And really, if his gaze went to her naked breasts first, who could blame him?).
She smiled that come hither smile of hers and murmured, “So tell me, Mr. Malfoy. Have you been naughty or nice this year?”
“Naughty,” he said firmly. “Definitely naughty.”
“Oh good.” Ginny reached one hand towards him and crooked her finger. “Only naughty boys get to unwrap their present early.”
Merry Christmas to all, and to all a good night!
