54. (dialogue) "There are seventeen shopping days before Christmas. So, there are sixteen days before we begin shopping."
Draco frowned pushing through the masses of people.
"Harry, please do remind me whose idea it was to go shopping today?" he asked, slightly annoyed by all the noise and people.
"I told you,to avoid exactly this, we should go shopping for presents early."
Harry simply chuckled, fingers slipping through Draco's as he dragged him into a toy shop.
"We still need to find a present for Teddy. He'll spend Christmas with us so that you two can get used to each other some more."
The former Slytherin shook his head, disbelievingly though a fond smile graced his thin lips.
"Harry, Teddy spends almost every weekend with us. Not that I don't want him there at Christmas, I just mean that we actually already have gotten used to each other a lot."
Harry couldn't help but laugh as he begrudgingly admitted that to be true.
He still remembered the awe and surprise on his boyfriend's face when, after a weekend of actually caring for him and going places with him, Teddy's hair turned into the same light blond which was Draco's most outstanding physical feature.
Despite the wizards at first rather horrible attempts of getting along with Teddy, which included giving him things to eat that he hated and helplessly looking for Harry when the four-year old wailed in one of his small tantrums, the Metamorphmagus had quickly taken a liking to him.
After all, he was really pretty and uncle Harry always was so happy whenever he was with him.
How could he not like him?
Draco picked up a small wooden dragon, smiling as he saw that it spat tickling fire, which wasn't hot and simply would give children the sensation of small tingles.
"Do you think he'd like it?" the blond turned to Harry, smiling slightly when the man nodded excitedly at the sight of the toy.
"It's amazing." he said, then, after a few seconds added.
"We could also buy him a carrier for his doll alongside with it."
Draco smiled and nodded.
"That's a plan." he said and followed Harry through the crowd, trying not to lose him or the toy.
"Harry, next year, we need to go shopping earlier. I don't care about your stupid golden rule. This is hell!"
Harry gasped mockingly, grinning at him.
"But the golden rule is important! Ron and me invented it back in Hogwarts and we lived after it every single year."
Draco simply shook his head.
"No, Potter. There is nothing about: "There are seventeen shopping days before Christmas. So, there are sixteen days before we begin shopping." that is even remotely important during Christmas season. Especially if it means that we have to fight our way through every single shop like this."
Harry pouted at that and wanted to retort though before he could, his eyes widened.
"Look, Draco! On the right. It's the perfect carrier for Teddy!" he called out.
The former Slytherin shook his head.
"This isn't over yet, Harry." he said, though did turn around.
He couldn't help but agree.
Teddy would love his presents.
