"No, I don't want to go!" Draco screamed.
Hermione rolled her eyes and crossed her arms. "Do we have to bring him?" she asked Lucius with a pout.
Lucius, in turn, smirked at her. "Unfortunately, I think so. Now, Draco, you will stop throwing a tantrum like a two-year old and listen to me. The Weasleys are Hermione's family, especially with her parents in Australia. She always spends Christmas with them. They might not be my favorite people, but I would like to spend Christmas with Hermione, which means I'm spending Christmas with them as well. If you want to spend Christmas with me, you'll have to spend it with the Weasleys as well. If you can't act like a Malfoy and be polite, we will leave you here."
Draco glared at Lucius and Hermione. "Just because you're shagging a mudblood who you're too good for doesn't mean-"
Draco was interrupted when Lucius pushed him against the wall while Hermione turned away, hurt by Draco's words. "You will not talk about Hermione that way!"
"You taught me!" Draco goaded, no sign of repentance in his voice.
Lucius let go and turned away from his smirking son. He went to Hermione who had her back to the two of them and enveloped her in his arms. "I'm sorry," he whispered.
"I know," she spoke back, just as softly.
He kissed the shell of her left ear and rubbed her stomach through her soft snow white shirt. Without facing Draco, Lucius stated, "We'll leave you here. You're negativity will not spoil our holiday."
He straightened up and took Hermione's hand, leading her out of the manor and ignoring Draco's gaping mouth.
Lucius knew Draco hadn't thought he would choose Hermione over his own son, so now Draco would be spending Christmas Day alone while he spent it with the woman who held his heart.
