Chapter ten: The Yule Ball and Christmas.

Draco frowned the Yule ball was looming and he was absolutely fuming if one more person tried to ask Harry to go with them to the ball then he wasn't going to be responsible for his actions. It wasn't just this that had the blond so tense there was also the fact that his lover might say yes to one of them.

Seeming to sense his tension Harry settled down on the bed in their room and patted the space next to him. "Come here Draco."

Quietly the Slytherin went over to the bed he settled next to the other man. "Now are you going to tell me what's wrong with the normally composed ice prince or do I have to guess?"

'It all of them, they keep asking you to go with them it's driving me mad.'

"Draco I'm not going to go to the ball I plan to spend the night with you." The dark haired man told the invisible man sitting next to him.

'Are you sure that's what you want to do?'

"Yes Draco that is exactly what I want to do." Reassured by this knowledge the blond man was much better at coping with the people who tried to ask Harry to the ball.

Sure enough the night of the Yule ball came Harry was sitting in his room on the sofa before the fire with Draco, when the green eyed man lifted his wand the young wizard waved it once and music began to fill the room, slowly Harry rose he bowed solemnly to Draco before he held out a hand. "May I have this dance?"

The Slytherin smiled at the man before him before placing a hand into Harry's. 'Of cause you may.'

Draco was surprised when Harry pulled him in close and they began to waltz round the room, this surprise increased when the green eyed man didn't make a single mistake as he lead Draco smoothly round the room. 'You've been practicing.'

"Yes after the last Yule ball Hermione insisted I learn and I found that I actually rather liked it."

'You're a good dancer.'

"Goodness I think I just managed to wring a compliment from Draco Malfoy!" Harry said in mock shock causing his blond partner to laugh slightly. 'Yes well don't let it go to your head.'

"I won't Draco."

Too soon for the Slytherin's liking they had stopped moving, slowly he looked down at Harry who looked back up at him. "Did you enjoy?"

'Yes Harry I did enjoy it very much thank you.'

"It was my pleasure." As Harry went to move away Draco gripped his arms and pulled the green eyed man to him tightly before claiming his mouth with his own. Harry gasped with surprise, then leant into the kiss, when the two men parted they were breathless slowly the blond released Harry and stroked one of his cheeks with the back of one hand as he spoke. 'I never did thank you for not going tonight and staying here with me did I?'

"No you didn't why what do you have in mind Draco?"

'At the moment what I have in mind is you and the bed.' The Slytherin told him a purr to his voice.

Harry raised both brows at his lover. "Really now." The dark haired man walked away from the ice prince slowly he started unbuttoning his shirt then took it off letting it fall to the floor, Draco groaned the Gryffindor grinned at him then undid the trousers before dropping them to the floor and stepping out of them and laying on the bed in only his underwear. "Umm yeah you are right me and the bed is quiet comfy."

Draco couldn't help it he growled at his lover, the Slytherin undid his own shirt before joining Harry on the bed, gently the blond man ran a hand up one of the other wizard's legs, drawing a gasp from the green eyed man. 'Umm now this is more along the lines of what I had in mind.' The blond told his lover before kissing him deeply.

Murmuring with contentment the dark haired man leant up into the kiss, allowing the Slytherin to dominate him completely, Harry brought his hands to rest on the blonds back before they slowly pulled apart from the heated kiss.

Once the Gryffindor had caught his breath he smiled up at the blond. "Draco what would you like for Christmas?"

'Asides from you just like this? Nothing I can think of.' The grey eyed man told Harry, before he pressed the other man more firmly into the mattress and kissed him again.

The green eyed man wriggled his body up against the man above him and smiling as Draco moaned with pleasure. "Well considering Christmas isn't so far away I'll have to make sure I tie a bow round myself huh?" Harry asked the invisible man above him with amusement glowing in his bright green eyes.

The blond groaned at the image this presented to him. 'Oh that would be nice especially if I that bow means you can't get away from me.'

Harry raised both brows at the Slytherin. "Really now, that sounds rather pleasant."

'Just pleasant hmm? I'm sure I can to improve on pleasant.'

Sure enough the blond went on to improve pleasant in a whole series of ways that Harry found truly exhilarating.

The next morning when Draco woke the bed was empty he sat up and looked around to find his lover dressed only in a dressing gown decorating a Christmas tree in the corner of the room, humming Christmas songs to himself as he went about his decorating. The blond sat up in the bed and watched him embellishing the tree with a smile playing round the corners of his lips.

Over the next few days the pile of presents steadily grew under the tree, when Christmas day finally arrived the two men were awake early and sitting beside the tree. Harry dished the presence out, then the two men their hearts in agreement on opening their gifts explored what they had been given for the season.

Harry had received an assortment of sweets, the usual Weasely sweater which drew a laugh from the blond Slytherin as well as a book of wizard love poems from Lucius, with a roll of the eyes and a chuckle the dark haired man spoke to his companion. "Love poems from your father, Merlin save me from amorous Malfoy's!"

Draco raised one brow at the man before him before he chuckled with amusement before asking cheekily. 'So does that include me?'

The blond watched as a delightful blush spread over the other man's face. "No of cause not it only includes your father and you kn..." Harry didn't get to finish the sentence Draco's lips where on his and the Slytherin was pushing him back onto the floor before their fire place.

Harry moaned into that kiss before slowly raising his hands and finding the other man's shoulders, slowly they pulled apart from the kiss both breathing quiet hard. "I take it this means you'd like your Christmas present now?"

'Oh yes defiantly.'

"So right here or do you want to move onto the bed?"

'Here is just fine.'

Harry smiled up at the blond, and then gasped as he the invisible Malfoy began to nip at his neck his fingers pushing off the dressing robe to revile his naked chest top the warm fire glow, the green eyed man wriggled slightly under his lover and pulled him closer.

The Slytherin responded eagerly letting his hands stroke a path down the other man's boys grinding his hips to those of the other man smiling as it elicited more delicious moans from the other wizard. "I love you Draco." Harry whispered so quietly he wasn't sure that the green eyed man had said the words, so instead of answering them the blond nipped his way down the Gryffindors neck and then gently teased one sensitive nipple with his tongue.

Enjoying every sound his teasing reached from the other man the blond reluctantly released the nipple, before pushing the robe off of his lover. 'This is the best Christmas I have ever had.' Draco told Harry quietly.

The other wizard smiled at him with agreement. "So why don't you come back down here so we can both enjoy it some more." Harry asked the blond man.

'Now that sounds like a very good plan.' The Slytherin said before going back to enjoying his most wonderful Christmas present.
