Okay, random ideas formed to random drabbles. Reading on your own risk :D
Rolanda Hooch had a huge smile on her face as she did hang the last crystal ball to the green Christmas tree that she had organised from Hagrid.
The tree was glittering from all the crystal balls and the tons of tinsel while a uncountable amount of candles and light-chains dipped the room, together with the fire crackling in the fireplace, into a warm light.
Oh, how Rolanda loved Christmas...
She stepped back to muster her creation with glistening eyes just as the door opened and a wave of cold air swept into the room, along with a tall man in black robes who stopped in his tracks as soon as his dark eyes met the first kitschy decoration item.
"Salazar...", Severus mumbled, feeling like he had just entered one of his personal nightmares. "This must have been the wrong door..."
"Severus, you are back!" Rolanda smiled and approached him to wrap her arms around her partner. "How do you like the decorations? I felt like we should have it a little bit nice here for our first Christmas together!"
Severus tried to remain calm, even though it demanded all his will to do so.
"It looks... a bit... eehh... excessive. Salazar, it... you did not seriously think that I would like this?! I mean, look at this, it is..."
Severus was breathing heavily by now and he was happy that Rolanda and he were alone so there would be no witnesses for his moment of helplessness, of being overwhelmed by the situation.
Rolanda looked quite sad as she mumbled:"You do not like it?"
Severus took a deep breath before he could gather his courage to give her the answer:"I hate it, Rolanda. I am not the cheery type, obviously."
He gulped as he was sure to have seen the shimmer of tears in her golden eyes, but suddenly her gaze darkened. Cautious as he was, knowing how dangerous Rolanda could be, he took a step backwards.
"This means war, Severus. I will not give up until you wear that damn singing reindeer sweater I picked for you!"
