"Potter," Draco looked up from his reading, white blond hair catching in the glow of the overhead light. Harry pondered the irony of the halo-like effect it had on his lover for a few seconds, before finally answering:

"Yes, Draco?"

"How do Muggles light up their Christmas trees?"

"Christmas lights," said he, swiftly. He had gotten used to Draco's naturally curious nature the first few times it had arisen, but it never seemed to stop astounding him when his lover asked a new, seemingly random question.

"Oh," the blond nodded his head. "So, they don't capture little bugs and keep them in small bulbs, like we do with fairies?"

"Draco," Harry's sigh dripped exasperation, and the brunet felt the over-compelling need to cover his face with one hand, so he did.

Once he felt he had regained his composure, Harry shook his head a few times before peering up and inquiring, hands clasped underneath his chin, "Has Mister Weasley been filling your head with nonsense, again? No, they use little light bulbs strung together with cords and decorate their trees with them. After they're done, they plug the entire string into the wall through a socket," Harry could predict an incident in which Draco would mistakenly create a hole in the wall, in the hopes of actually turning on an electrically powered Muggle device. His emphasis on the word, specifically, spoke for itself.

Draco nodded his head for a few seconds, brow furrowed as he absorbed the newest information, before calling out, "Harry?"

"What?"

"Let's get Christmas lights this year, in addition to all the other ornaments we have for decorating the tree."

Harry bit back and chuckle, though his smile shone like Draco's hair bright, bright. "Sure, I'll buy some the next time I go out."

Draco's small smile back was all the thanks he needed.
