A/N: hiya! This is for day twenty-one of the Countdown to Christmas Drabble / Oneshot Competition
Prompt: Mince Pies
Enjoy!
...
Draco, Greg and Theo stared at Vince, not knowing where to begin.
"You're kidding."
"This is bullshit."
"I'm not doing this."
Vince made a show of sighing, throwing his hands up and pouting. "As c'mon guys, why not?"
"Because mince pies are disgusting," Draco said, his nose shrivelled up in distaste. On the table between the four boys lay a box with four mince pies. "We should at least use some pies that the House Elves can make for us."
"Not including Draco's remarks," Theo said with a laugh, "I just never really liked them, they taste weird. Can we use custard pies instead or something?"
"No, that'll be too messy," Vince said. Theo scoffed.
"I've, uh, never really had a mince pie," Greg said, giving his astonished best friend a cheeky grin. "But," he continued quickly, "that being said, I don't fancy trying to shove one of those in my mouth and trying to eat it."
"You guys are no fun!" Vince complained. "You asked me to find something fun to do, it's the first day of holidays, I find something fun, and you all turn your noses up at it!"
Theo gave a sideways glance to Greg before looking back to Vince. "Alright, Vinny, I'll do it."
"Yes! That just leaves you two." Vince's eyes, wide with excitement, flitted between Draco's unamused and Greg's semi-reluctant expression. Greg eventually sighed.
"Alright…"
Draco looked as though he would stomp his foot and run off to his mother. "This is so disgusting."
"That's a yes!" Vince shouted. He ripped open the box and handed everyone a pie.
"This doesn't look so bad," Greg said. The pie he held was smaller than his palm.
"No, this looks bad," Draco muttered.
Vince counted down from three and they all shoved the pies into their mouths. There was helpless gagging and furious mumbling as they struggled to move their jaws and chew.
Draco lasted twenty seconds before he ran off to find a fork and pull the pie out. The other three merely half laughed half choked as the pies crumbled and manouverjng the pies in order to eat them properly became easier.
Vince won, though he wasn't going to tell the others he's already tried this a couple of times. Greg came second and Theo a close third, and the boys sat exhausted for a few minutes, taking turns to shout through the Crabbe Estate for Draco to bring them some water.
