Hermione tilted her head and stared curiously at her lover. He seemed unaware of her presence so she cleared her throat.
He looked up from his book. "What is it?"
She raised her eyebrows. "What are you reading?"
"It's a Muggle book that I found in your possession."
"Oh. Is it A Christmas Carol?"
"No, why would I be reading that?"
She rolled her eyes. "Well, Scrooge, that's what most people read around Christmas time."
She moved to the loveseat and squished in next to him. She looked at the book. "Dracula? Really? Maybe that's a good book for Halloween, but that's not a Christmas story."
He chuckled. "I was curious. They got most of the facts wrong, you know."
She pressed a soft kiss to his shoulder. "That's because they don't know Dracula actually exists."
"If you knew it was wrong, why did you keep the novel?"
She shrugged. "It's a good story and sometimes, I like to just read without analyzing the facts. It's nice to put my brain on pause every now and then."
"Want to read with me?" Lucius asked.
"Sure." She rested her head on his shoulder and together, they read the story of Dracula. It might have been an unusual way to spend Christmas Eve, but Hermione thoroughly enjoyed it.
