Flashback
The four Slytherins were running around Malfoy manor in hopes of keeping up with Harry. Even though the house elves were decorating the manor, Harry had run around and hung up more decorations, including mistletoes in many of the doorways.
Draco and Lucius were feeling very lucky that they were muggle mistletoes and not magical, seeing as the magical ones would demand them to kiss before they could move from under it, while Harry had let them go after Draco kissed Lucius' cheek. After that, they did not go through a doorway with the other.
Harry had used a lot of colored paper on making decorations, and Lucius had to admit some of them actually looked more beautiful than what the house elves put up.

The four men gathered in the study when they couldn't find Harry. "Any luck finding him?" Severus asked, but the other three merely shook their heads. Tonight was Christmas Eve! They had searched all the places they could even think Harry would be in!
One of the Malfoys' post owls suddenly flew in with a small note. Draco calmly took the note from her leg when she calmly sat down at his shoulder. As soon as he had the note, she took off and was gone again. The men looked after her, until Tom asked what the note said. Draco unfolded the note and read out loud for the men.
A little quest for four of great mind,
let's see if in the end, the treasure you will find.
A clue in riddles is fun, you will see;
find the next one where many others agree.
The men looked at each other. "Well, it's obviously a clue… But what does it mean?" Draco asked. The men thought about it for a while, but no one seemed to understand the clue.
Lucius suddenly snapped his fingers. "I got it. A clue in riddles could be a book written in riddles, like so many ancient tomes are. We have a section in the library dedicated to such old riddle filled tomes." That said, the men went to the library, and Lucius showed the way to the section of the ancient tomes.
A table was decorated with a few flowers around a neatly packed gift. It had an odd shape, and the men wondered what it could be. The package was a deep green color with silvery ribbons, and had a small sticker on it, in the shape of a Christmas tree, with the word "Lucius" written on it in a beautiful silvery grey color.
The tall blonde tried to open it, but found that a spell had been cast so he couldn't open it yet. He picked it up, and found a note lying underneath it. He carefully put the package down and read the note to the others.
Bring the gift; it is for the best,
since you will find more during your quest.
A beautiful sight in silver and green;
you're one step closer where all is clean.
They looked at each other, and Draco grinned. "The bath! The marble tiles are all green and with silver patterns planted in them." Lucius picked up the package, but when he tried to shrink it, he found he couldn't. The content was too fragile for Harry to let him shrink it apparently, so he just carried it with a levitation spell.
They were soon in the bathroom, and Draco looked around, easily finding the next note on top of a smaller gift, made with beautiful blue gift paper and matching silvery ribbons. This one had a star shaped sticker saying "Draco" in beautiful, icy blue letters. He took the note and read it for the others. None of them noticed that Severus was smirking because of the amusing little quest Harry had obviously made for them.
Another riddle solved, I'm so proud of you,
now go on my loves, there are another two.
A perfect view for all to see
is another step closer to finding me.
Severus snorted. "That's bound to be the gazebo. Harry kept telling us how perfect he thought the view was when we last made a small picnic there." The men nodded, and Tom quickly cast warming charms on them all before they went out in the snow.
In the gazebo, they saw another present. It was made with white gift paper, so they only saw it because of the silvery ribbons, the heart shaped sticker with the name "Tom" and the little note, which the wind threatened to blow away. Tom grabbed the note right away and read it to the others.
To reach your goal and find your treasure,
stay calm and don't crack under pressure.
Where roses are red, despite time of year,
you will know you have nothing to fear.
The blondes had no clue what that meant. They had a greenhouse connected to the house, which was spelled to be in bloom all year, so they could always enjoy a calm summer day in the indoors garden, even during a harsh winter or rainy weather.
Severus took the note and read it over, but didn't think it made sense at all. "Where roses are red, despite time of year… What's that supposed to mean? The indoors garden has white, black, blue, yellow and pink roses. The new red rose bush hasn't been planted there yet," he complained, remembering how Narcissa had fussed and complained when the last red rose bush had died, after she tried to spell the flowers bigger.
Tom suddenly perked up. Hadn't Harry told him something about red roses one time? Yes! Now he remembered! He grabbed the gift off the table and headed back inside. The others quickly followed him inside and through the manor.
Soon after they were in the kitchen, where a present made in onyx black paper and silvery ribbons, and with a present shaped sticker with the word "Severus" written in a black color with a silvery shine, was waiting.
The three clueless Slytherins still didn't understand what was meant with the red roses, so Tom merely pointed to the wall by the kitchen counter, which had the prettiest pattern of small red roses on the tiles. Severus shook his head and took the note, wondering how Harry could notice such small details. He read the note calmly; first to himself, then to the others.
This little hunt is over soon,
but first go to the place that will make you swoon.
Enjoying the fun, I hope you did,
and a politely farewell is surely fit.
Now follow your ears, noses as well,
and soon with joy, your hearts will swell.
They were totally silent, and they could hear some low music tones from another part of the manor. Severus picked up the gift, which was luckily not too big to be carried.
They followed the music to the living room, where they truly felt their heart swell with joy. Harry was decorating a tall Christmas tree, which had a big pile of presents under it, and they could instantly see that Harry had found the gifts they had for the others. Harry was flying close to the ceiling, putting up beautiful garlands, but that wasn't what caught their attention.
Harry was wearing a soft red shirt, which looked as soft as silk, with fluffy white hems around the wrists, waist and neck. He wore a matching miniskirt, and when he had been in the air, the men had seen the clothes were completed with panties in the same red color with white lace edges.
Harry smiled at the men. "I see you managed to find out the clues! Put the gifts under the tree, so they're ready in the morning." The men just stood still and watched, as Harry flew up to put some decorations on the garlands. They got a wonderful view of his ass, which had them all hard faster than you could say "Slytherin".
Harry landed again, ignoring the men, as he set up more decorations. Whenever he bent over to place something on a low shelf or table, or stood on his toes to reach a higher shelf, the skirt showed off the special treasure that the four snakes wanted more than anything.
Harry suddenly walked over to them with a tray. The tray had a big batch of about twenty fresh cookies with icing already on them, and the men politely took one each. It didn't take long before the tray was empty. "Where did you learn to bake so well?" Draco purred, as he sucked the last bit of icing off his fingers.
Harry smiled at the slightly hidden compliment. "Well, at least I learnt something useful while I stayed with my aunt and uncle, didn't I?" The men froze when they were reminded of the muggles, but they said nothing. "Come on, guys! Put the gifts under the tree. You can't open them until tomorrow anyway!" he said and left the room.
They quickly put the gifts under the tree, and soon after Harry came back with a glass of milk and a plate of cookies. He set them down at the table, nearest the fireplace. He flickered his wand, and the music ended, making the room silent again.
The men watched as Harry finished up the last few things, before he shooed them from the room. They were soon in the bedroom, and Harry instantly cuddled up in bed. The four men were surprised by how pretty the muggle decorations had been, so they didn't even realize that Harry fell asleep before they even joined him on the bed.
The four of them quickly went onto the bed and cuddled up to Harry, enjoying the warmth and joy practically rolling off their youngest mate. They would give Harry the best Christmas ever, even if it killed them.
