Prompt #6: Hot coco/tea/apple cider
It was one of the best sights Scorpius had ever seen - Albus walking into the living room carrying two steaming hot cups of coco.
“Oh,” Scorpius breathed happily, taking one of the cups from Albus. “Thank you.”
“You’re welcome.” Albus sat down next to Scorpius and tucked his legs underneath himself. He held his coco steady in one hand while the other grabbed the throw blanket from the back of the couch and awkwardly spread it across their legs.
Scorpius put down his cup briefly and helped, waiting until they were both settled and comfortable before taking a sip of the hot milky drink.
“Mmm,” he moaned. “Amazing.”

Prompt #7: Snowman/snow angel/snowball fight
“Merlin!” Scorpius brushed the excess snow from his hair and clothes, startling lightly when another snowball hit him in the middle of his back. “Stop!” he yelled across the Quad to where Albus was crouched down packing together a couple of new snowballs.
Working quickly, Scorpius packed together an icy ball together and launched it across the Quad. It smacked Albus in the shoulder.
Albus looked up, green eyes bright with laughter. “Okay, okay,” he laughed, standing up and crossing the space between them. “Let’s call it quits.”
Scorpius breathed a sigh of relief and dropped his half formed snowball to the ground. “Thank you. I’m freezing.”
Albus wrapped his arms around Scorpius, their cold lips finding each other.
“Doesn’t fire melt ice?”

Prompt #8: Holiday party at work
“I think you promised me dancing...” Scorpius murmured.
Albus nodded and stood from the table, leading Scorpius away from their workmates and onto the dance floor, where he turned, and stepped into Scorpius’ arms.
They swayed gently to the music, hazel eyes locked with grey, bodies touching as they moved. “This...whatever this is between us. Tell me you feel it, too,” Albus whispered.
Scorpius swallowed thickly. “I feel it. I want it. Do you?”
“More than anything,” Albus breathed, leaning forward capturing Scorpius’ mouth with his own.
At that first touch Scorpius forgot how to think, how to breathe...he only knew how to feel. Albus’ lips were soft and warm, and he could feel his heartbeat thudding in tandem with his own. Scorpius flexed his fingers on Albus’s back and pulled him even closer, molding their bodies together. Albus’ mouth opened and Scorpius felt his tongue lick tentatively against his lips, asking for entrance that he gladly gave.
They kissed for what felt like hours, wrapped in each other’s arms. To Scorpius, it felt like he’d fallen straight into his very own classic romantic movie, with Albus as his leading man.

Prompt #9: Bundled up from the cold
It was impossible to stay warm when Scorpius was away.
Slipping out from under the blankets, Albus crossed the room and grabbed one of Scorpius’ jumpers from the wardrobe. He pulled it on over his head and yanked the sleeves down over his fingers. Still cold, he pulled on an extra pair of socks and a warmer pair of pajama pants.
Shuffling through to the living room, he stole the throw blanket from the back of the couch and grabbed the extra doona from the hallway cupboard. He carted them both back to the bedroom and draped them over the two blankets that already adorned the bed. Satisfied with his efforts, he slid down under the multiple layers and rolled himself up in a cocoon of blankets.
He was still cold.

Prompt #10: Sleigh Ride
The Headmaster had organised the sleigh rides as a treat for the students who remained at Hogwarts over the Christmas holidays. Albus had dawdled most of the way down to the grounds and as a result he was one of the last students to find a sleigh.
“All ready?” the driver asked.
Albus glanced around and shrugged. “Sure. It’s just me, I guess.”
He nodded, snapped the reins and they set off at a leisurely pace around the grounds.
Albus was just hunching down closer to the warmth of his cloak when suddenly a body jumped into the sleigh. Albus startled, as Scorpius slid onto the velvet bench beside him. The blond grinned like he had just performed the best trick in the history of the world.
Albus frowned. “Get out.”
“Aw, don’t be like that,” Scorpius grinned. “It’s Christmas.”
“I don’t care what holiday it is. I’m not sharing my sleigh with you. Get out.”
Scorpius just ignored him, smirking happily as he pulled on his gloves.
