A/N: I am so sorry about the gaps, I haven't written anything new in around 6 weeks and haven't been on proper wifi in nearly 4 weeks, I'm sorry!

I haven't forgotten about you all!

The following months passed in much the same way, they'd relax for an hour after closing the shop before Harry would bake a selection of cakes, biscuits and pastries while Draco would order any new books necessary, then together they'd decorate any cakes –Harry had taken it upon himself to teach Draco the basics needed in the kitchen –finally, when everything was ready they'd spend the night curled together on the sofa watching movies before moving to the bedroom. Harry still went back to his flat, only twice a week now though, they'd decided it was probably best they still had a little time apart from each other, just to stop them going crazy. What neither boy knew though, was how much the other hated the nights apart.

Together they'd started to build up a few routines, Friday night was always take-out night, they'd order from a few different places, but it was the night Harry didn't have to cook, that's another thing they'd silently agreed upon; Harry always cooked the meals, but Draco always washed up, and occasionally tried to help with the desserts- usually ending in covering himself and Harry more than getting it into the bowls.

December 23rd and the shop was shut for the day, not opening again until 3rd January, giving them just over a week off, it had been a busy week leading up to Christmas, obviously people were buying gifts and meeting up with distant friends more than usual. Once the shop had shut, they'd made their way upstairs and simply collapsed in front of the TV.

"Harry?" they were curled up on the sofa together watching old Christmas movies when Draco suddenly stood up.

"hmm, what's up love?" watching Draco walk into the bedroom Harry got a little confused as to whether he was supposed to follow, he was just about to stand up as Draco re-emerged from the doorway.

"I err, I need you to open your Christmas present now" Harry was surprised, Draco wasn't holding anything, he was just walking closer.

"Do you-, are you meaning you Dray? Because you haven't got a ribbon on, and I'd like to be able to open that present on Christmas day" Harry can't help but add a wink with that, making Draco blush pink slightly.

"I, mm, not me, erm, this" Draco pulls a cream envelope out of his pocket and hands it over, it's completely blank except where 'Harry' was written in Draco's elegant script.

Cautiously opening the seal, Harry pulls out a few sheets of paper, glancing up at Draco, he indicates he should just read them. Reading the top sheet, he sees it is a reservation to 'Cluny Bank Hotel' in Forres, Scotland, A double room booked between the 24th and the 27th of December. Harry gasps, realizing what this actually is, "Dray you, you've booked us a holiday?"

Throwing himself across the sofa to where Draco is now sitting he smothers his face in kisses, before capturing his lips in a passionate kiss. Draco pulls back slightly muttering "read the rest baby" before placing another gentle kiss on Harry's lips.

Staying leaning against Draco, one arm wrapped around his waist, one holding the papers in front of him. Harry moves on to the second sheet of paper, gasping as he recognizes the emblem.

'Dear Mr Malfoy,

Thank you for your letter, we would be delighted to have you and Mr Potter join us for a brief period over Christmas, shall we say you join us around the 27th? If you wish to floo into my office then please be sure to inform me via owl beforehand.

We shall see you soon

M. McGonagall.'

Harry's truly gobsmacked, Draco's gotten them a visiting pass into Hogwarts over Christmas? He doesn't know what to say, how to say thank you, instead, he turns and puts all his feelings into the kiss he initiates.

Pulling away after a few minutes, Draco smirks before muttering "You're welcome" and continuing their kiss.

They spend the rest of the evening packing up everything they want to take with them, Christmas presents included. By 10pm they're all packed and ready to go, until Harry remembers something else. "What about Trix?" Draco turns around suddenly, a little confused.

"What about her?"

"well, we can't leave her here while we're gone, it's not fair to her"

"Don't worry sweetie, she'll be waiting for us at Hogwarts, I already arranged it with McGonagall, she's going there tomorrow" Draco walks over to Harry, wrapping him up in his arms.

"You're the best" Harry may have gotten annoyed with that cat when he first met her, but he wouldn't be without her now.

"come on baby, let's go to bed, get an early night before we go away" Standing up, Draco grabbed Harry's hand pulling him into the bedroom.

"Early night huh?" Harry tugs back on Draco's hand, wrapping his spare arm around his back, holding him close before leaning up for a sweet kiss.

With a small smile, Draco leans their foreheads together, "Yes, we'll have an early night, save some fun for our holiday" with one last kiss he pulls Harry into the bedroom, settling them down for the night.
