Gingerbread Men
James smiled as he added the finishing touches to the gingerbread men. It was a family tradition, as such, for him to be the one to makes the gingerbread. Albus would help their dad with the Christmas lights, and Lily would decorate the tree under strict guidance from mum. This year, though, another guest was visiting for Christmas, one that didn't quite fit in with the usual Potter agenda.
Scorpius Malfoy sat on the workbench with his feet propped up against one of the kitchen stools, still in his pyjamas and fluffy a jumper that Mrs Weasley had knitted him the previous year. He would occasionally lean over James to steal an every-flavoured-bean from one of the messy, half-finished gingerbread men. His hand lingered a few seconds, hovering over one of the biscuits a little too long. James briskly slapped his hand away, and Scorpius brought it back to his body, cradling it carefully with his other hand.
"Ouch," he said, a pout forming on his pale lips.
"You're going to get my gingerbread men all dirty with your Slytherin germs," James laughed, "They'll catch some sort of disease – I'll know when they're infected, because they'll start acting like pompous, stuck-up prats," James winked, and the blonde's scowl deepened. His hand darted towards that packet of sweets that James had been using as decoration, and jumped from the worktop onto the tiled floor. He skidded as he ran, stuffing the occasional bean into his mouth. After a few seconds, James clambered after him, roaring with laughter; the gingerbread men forgotten.
