Part One
Draco looked out the large window over the manor's sprawling, snow-covered grounds, swelling with a sense of pride. He may live in his own much more moderately sized house now, but he knew a part of him would always call Malfoy Manor home. If for no other reason, the grounds in the winter were certainly a breathtaking sight. He was looking forward to sharing them with Teddy today, and with Harry.
Draco had come to a decision concerning Harry after his realization the other day. For reasons he couldn't fathom, and against all better judgement, he wanted the gormless Gryffindor. And when Draco Malfoy wanted something, he did everything within his power to get it.
One major potential problem was that he didn't know if Harry was even interested in men, let alone in him specifically. He needed to figure that out, preferably without making a fool of himself in the process. So the plan was to charm the pants off Potter, so to speak, and closely observe his reactions. Actual pants removal would hopefully come later.
To this end, he had invited Harry to the manor today. He was bringing Teddy, and the three of them were going to ride in an actual horse-drawn sleigh. Draco had gotten the idea from Narcissa, who had apparently done so with her mother and sisters as a small girl. The morning’s activity would hopefully serve the dual purposes of being fun for Teddy while giving Draco a romantic setting in which to begin wooing Harry.
The sound of his guests knocking at the front door made Draco turn away from the window with a smile. No sooner had Mipsy greeted them before Draco could hear Teddy babbling away feverishly.
"Dwaco has a weal life hosie? I wanna wide it! Peas, Hawwy!" Draco stepped into the entrance hall to see Teddy jumping up and down in front of Harry, who looked fondly amused. One of the things Draco liked most about the other man was how much he obviously loved Teddy, and vice versa.
"We won’t be riding on the horse, buddy. It’s going to pull us in a sleigh. That way we can all go at the same time."
"Me an’ you an’ Dwaco?" Draco was pleased to see a smile and a faint flush spread across Harry’s face at the mention of his name. It was an enticing sight, as well as extremely encouraging for his chances of seducing him.
"Yeah, all three of us will ride together." Draco liked the sound of that.
"I do believe our chariot awaits, if we’re ready."
"Dwaco!" He bent down to give Teddy a big hug and kiss, and when he stood back up a moment later, Harry was watching him, running his fingers through that appalling hair and still smiling.
"Good morning, Harry. I’m so glad you could come."
"Thanks for inviting me. This sounds like fun." He glanced over at Teddy, who was still jumping around in excitement. "We probably should head outside before someone here bounces right through the ceiling."
They made their way out to the south side of the house where a handsome chestnut Hackney stood hitched to a large, red sleigh with green padded seats. Draco had always loved the elegant beauty of horses. Maybe if today was a success, he would talk mother into having some stables built. She definitely had the space for it.
When they were all situated under the spell-warmed blanket, Draco sat strategically in the middle, he tapped his wand to the reigns hanging over the front of the sleigh. At once they perked up as if an invisible driver was holding them, and the horse started off over the snow, little bells ringing out cheerfully from his harness.
Teddy giggled as he squirmed in his seat. "Go hosie, go! Giddy-up!"
They spent a very pleasant morning traveling around the manor’s grounds, laughing and singing as they went. Teddy wanted to hear Jingle Bells over and over again, and Harry, of course, indulged him each time with a roll of his eyes and a grin.
Despite the nip in the air, Draco felt quite warm under their blanket with Harry at his side. The sleigh wasn’t exactly cramped, but they were sitting rather closer together than was perhaps typical, their thighs touching all the way to the knee. Not that Draco was complaining. He may have taken the opportunity to lean into Harry’s side every time they went around a turn, but no one would ever be able to prove it.
Harry was smiling at him a lot. Draco was finding it increasingly hard not to just turn his head and kiss those full, chapped lips. Harry’s exhilarated expression was so gorgeous, and it would be almost too easy. They were so close…
"Hawwy! Dwaco! It’s snowing!"
Indeed, it had started to snow, fluffy flakes falling all around them and clinging to their coats and blanket. Draco watched Teddy laughing in delight as he stuck his tongue out to catch them before turning once again to Harry. Harry, who was doing the exact same thing, his eyes shut as he leaned his head back with a peaceful look on his handsome face. If Draco had wanted to kiss him before, it was nothing compared to now.
He took a deep breath of the cold winter air and resolved to make a trip to the seasonal shop in Diagon Alley as soon as possible.
He wanted to have fresh mistletoe hung in every room before Harry’s next visit.
