Drabbles for the 2016 Mistletoe Challenge!

HarryxGinny. A frazzled mother greeted by her quiet, adoring husband.


The laundry was unending. No. Seriously. Ginny wondered if some of the garden gnomes had gotten into the house and begun to toss clothes and linens at random into the hampers. She was balancing two overfull hampers with wandless magic and had another in her arms when James came sprinting down the hallway and crashed into both of the floating hampers scattering clothes everywhere.

"James Sirius Potter!" To herself, "Do I really sound like that? Merlin, I'm becoming my mother."

From seemingly nowhere a quiet chuckle followed by, "Oh, I don't know, I still think you're rather with it."

"And you! You have some nerve! I've been taking care of your urchins all day long and the first thing you do when yo-"

She was soundly pounced upon and kissed. And groped.

Ginny returned as good as she got but slowly pulled away, "If you think that will make up for my day, think again."

Harry grinned, "No, love," he pointed up, "just mistletoe. Had to do my duty."

"Why you! How do you explain your roving hands?" Harry scurried off yelling,

"James, come save me from mummy!"

Ginny rolled her eyes after them and then turned back to the hall. The laundry was folded in neat piles.

"Oh how I love that man. And especially those magic hands."
