As I mentioned before, I'm participating in this little drabble fun with dracosoftie and FaeryQueen07, so you should go and read theirs as well. This prompt was given by bloodyvamp101.

Halloween, Blue Squash

"Perhaps if you paid more attention when I discussed wizarding traditions," Draco explained for the eighteenth time that hour, "you would already know this."

Harry rolled his eyes. They were getting sore from how often he had to do that this evening. "Is this where you point out how inferior I am because I was raised by Muggles?"

"Not inferior," Draco quipped. "That would be rude. Simply uneducated."

"Right. Because that isn't rude at all."

"So, as I was saying, you slice the squash like so." Draco leveled his wand at the gourd and demonstrated a perfect scalloped cut that divided the squash into two halves. "Then you clean it out," he continued, flicking his wand and casting a second spell that rid the gourd of all meat and seeds.

"Why is it blue again?"

"I've already told you, we use blue squash because it symbolizes a healthy harvest," Draco huffed, looking thoroughly put upon. Harry remembered the reason of course; he simply liked to be a pain when Draco started acting particularly ornery, as he often did around wizarding holidays. "We'll both be wearing them as hats during the Halloween party."

"I'm not putting that thing on my head."

"Oh, yes you are," Draco grumbled menacingly, plopping his half onto his immaculate blond quaff.

Harry snickered at the sight. Draco looked like a silly Christmas elf in a blue jingly hat. "I think you've got squash juice in your hair," Harry pointed out.

Draco looked disgusted and immediately removed the gourd and spelled his platinum mane clean again. "Perhaps we'll just leave them here on the table as decoration," he conceded.

"Of course," Harry replied, suppressing a grin. "Now, what are we supposed to do with that large orange one?"

Draco glared. "Now you're just being intentionally obtuse."
