Summary: The knickers are almost an afterthought this year.



Harry's eyes scanned the ballroom, where their guests were celebrating the hols with a shade more jocularity than in years past.

"Draco, maybe it wasn't a good idea to serve Pumpkin Pie Moonshine with dinner," he said.

"Nonsense," scoffed Draco. "Everyone is having a fabulous time, and House cliques broke down much more quickly this year. I even think I saw my father dancing with a lamp shade on his head."

"What?!"

Draco chortled at the stunned expression on Harry's face. "I'm teasing, love," he said. Draco wound his arm through his husband's and raised his own glass of moonshine in salute. "Relax, and enjoy."

Harry grimaced as Draco took a drink. He'd tried some, and the memory of it still made him shudder. "How can you drink that swill?"

"My mouth went numb after the first sip, and now I can't taste anything at all," Draco replied, eyes sparkling with deviltry.

Harry just laughed as he kept an eye on their guests. Each year, they hosted a holiday party for family and friends. For many of them, this event was the highlight of the Christmas season.

"They're having so much fun, I think we can skip the Christmas crackers this year," Harry said.

"And deprive some worthy individual of receiving the traditional Christmas knickers?!" cried Draco. "Perish the thought. Besides, I outdid myself this year."

"Dare I ask?"

Draco grinned. "I found a pair of dark purple knickers, with lace all across the back. The front is silk, and it's decorated with a heart made of silver sequins."

Harry's brows rose. "You would look smashing in those," he said. "Why don't we-"

"No," Draco interrupted. "There isn't enough moonshine in London to get me in a pair of knickers."

"I'd rather get you out of a pair of knickers," whispered Harry, leering at his husband.

Draco swatted Harry's arse and checked the time. "It's almost midnight," he said. Draco caught Bixie's eye and nodded to the house-elf to begin distributing Christmas crackers among the guests.

Once everyone paired up with their crackers, the countdown to midnight began.

"...four, three, two, one!"

The ballroom resounded with loud bangs as the guests pulled their crackers apart and exclaimed over the delightful gifts that were revealed. Everyone began to peer around, wondering who had the dreaded knickers.

"I seem to have received the booby prize this year," drawled Pansy.

"Booty prize," hooted Lavender.

As the guests laughed, Neville kissed Pansy and said, "I can't wait to see you in them." The two of them had begun dating after hooking up at a previous Malfoy-Potter holiday party.

"Why wait?" teased Pansy. "I'll go put them on right now." She strutted from the ballroom, while everyone cheered.

"Say, Draco?"

"Yeah?"

"Where did you buy those knickers?"

"Never you mind, Harry."
