Summary: Harry wanted to spend Christmas with his entire family, but someone is missing. His thoughts on what is turnong out to be a bleek Christmas.


As he stared out at the beautiful, glistening snowfall; Harry Potter just couldn't seem to be able conjour up any Christmas joy.

He turned and inspected the elaborlately decorated living room, it was done in many lights and festive decoration - as was the rest of the house.

He and his lover had spent countless hours together putting it all together.

Never had it been a chore, but rather a chance to spend time together, whilst Harry taught his lover the joys of getting ready for the festive season.

As a pureblood, Draco had never experianced the hustle and bustle of the winter month.

Harry smiled one of his first smiles in days as he remembered the first Christmas he and Draco had spent as a together.

//Flashback//

"I don't get all the excitment."Draco snorted as he and Harry walked into the Great Hall.

He looked around in distain at the many teachers putting up festive decorations.

"Didn't you ever get excited about putting up all the beautiful decorations at your manor?" Harry asked from beside Draco.

"Harry,"Draco sighed dramaticly."I never did anything so... degrating. Can you imagine the amount of filth that is on those trees?"

Harry turned and looked at Draco with a gobsmacked expression."You never celebrated christmas?!"

"I didn't say I didn't celebrate. I just didn't partake in such lowly activities."He sneered.

Harry smirked."I'll get you to help me decorate some day Malfoy."

"Like hell Potter."Draco said affectionatly, wrapping his arms tightlly round the smaller boy.

//End Flashback//

In the end Draco had helped Harry decorate and even admitted to haveing a wonderful time doing it.

"Papa?"

A small voice from the stairs snapped Harry from his memories.

On the stairs stood a young girl no older then 5, in a nightgown holding a worn out teddybear.

"Hey Jasmine," Harry said softly. He walked over and picked up the little girl. "what are you doing up so late young lady?"

"I heard you down here. And I was wondering when daddy was coming home?"

"I'm not sure."

"Will he be back for Christmas?"

Harry bit his lip. "I don't think so honey."

Tears glistened in the little girls eyes.

"Why don't you got to bed. Maybe if you are sleeping like a good little girl, you'll get some very nice presents tomorrow."

"Ok Papa."Jasmine kissed Harrys cheek and quickly ran back up to her room.

Harry smile wistfully as he watched his child run to bed.

Jasmine had been orphaned by the war. Harry and Draco adopted her, not wanting her to be an orphan, like both of them had been.

Plus they both wanted a family, and this little girl had needed them as much as they had her.

//Flashback//

"Hurry up Harry."Draco hissed, draging the smaller man down the asle of toys.

Harry couldnt help but laugh at his lovers antics.

They were shopping for christmas gifts, and Draco had insisted they buy for their little girl first.

"Draco calm down. We're practilly the first ones here. Theres no need to rush."

"I want to make sure we get exactly what she wants." the blonde huffed.

They turned into the next aisle and Draco stopped in front of the many dolls. He carefully looked at each one before he picked one up off of the shelf.

"This is the one."He said holding it out to Harry, who took it and looked it over.

"Are you sure, Dray?"He asked already knowing the answer.

"Yes"Draco said, not a trace of doubt in his voice."She wanted the Fairy Princess."

Harry chuckled and placed the doll into the cart. He thought it was incredibly cute that Draco remembered the specifics about what their daughter had wanted.

//End Flashback//

Harry sighed and turned out the lights before heading up to bed himself.

He stripped and lay down in the cold bed. He sighed as he hugged a pillow to himself and tried to sleep.

He hated seeing the disappointment his baby girls' eyes at the thought that her daddy wouldn't be there to celebrate their first Christmas together as a family.

Harry felt tears run down his own cheeks as sleep finally claimed him.

The next morning Harry was woken by being jumped on repeatedly.

"Papa! Papa!"Jasmine cried."You have to come down stairs immediatel!" With that said, she jumped from the bed and tore from the room and down the stairs.

Harry pushed himself up from the bed, and pulled on a dressing gown, not bothering to get fully dressed.

When he finally entered the living room, he stopped and looked upon the scene in front of him.

Draco was sitting on the couch helping Jasmine sort through the pile of gifts, while she was looking for ones with her name.

The blonde looked up and smiled at the stunned man in the doorframe. He got up and walked to over to him.

"You didn't think I'd miss this day after all I went through to get it ready did you?"He asked teasingly.

Harry just looked at the man in front of him for a moment, before throwing himself into his arms. He let a few tears run down his face and onto his lovers shoulder.

"Harry?"the taller man asked.

"You prat."Harry laughed,pulling back. He wiped his cheeks and pulled Draco to the couch.

"You ready to open those?"Harry asked the little girl sitting on the ground at their feet.

Jasmine nodded and began to tare through the wrapping with reckless abandon.

Draco smiled and pulled Harry to him in a passionate kiss, then settled back to watch his happy family.

Their happy family.
