Chapter Sixteen (part 1): Harry's Hanukkah
Baby baby we can do all that we want
We're gettin nasty nasty, we're getting freaky deaky
Baby baby we can do more than just talk
Cause I can hear ya hear ya, and I can see ya see ya
Baby baby we can do all that we want
We're getting nasty nasty, we're getting freaky deaky...

Today is Christmas Eve, and HP and friends are extremely excited- it was strange how everyone had decided to stay at Hogwarts for Christmas! Let's join them at the breakfast table...
"For the love of Merlin! Is Ron even allowed to join us at the Gryffindor table to eat anymore?" Lee Jordan vibrated angrily, as the poor Weasel was stuffing his face with Christmas themed bacon, eggs, pancakes, mango pudding and even chicken chop!
"Why on earth is Sirius dressed up in a purple cloak with a black moustache?" Lex Luthor enquired.
"Come on Susan Bones. You can help me hang up mistletoe." George twined, entwining his fingers in her bones.
Harry was preoccupied with the Christmas tree shaped custard and was having problems consuming it. But before he could think any more about it, a roar of a dragon could be heard and a billion owls swooped down carrying mail.
Draco, who for some reason was seated at the Gryffindor table, had received a few cards and letters. One from Lucius, which just wished him a Happy Christmas and told him that it was snowing at the Malfoy Manor. No, it wasn't a secret letter that really told Draco about Lucius's scheme with Voldie. He also got a handmade Christmas card from Harry which was covered in crepe paper, glue, and glitter. So much in fact that the card stuck to Draco's hand when he opened the envelope. The card had a picture of what looked to be a reindeer. Either that or a Hippogriff. "Thanks Harry."
"Anytime!" said the son of James Potter, as he opened a card from his parents. He also got a $100 gift voucher for Plumbing World from the Dursley's. And a fancy green card with silver writing from none other than... Draco Malfoy! Only a Malfoy would have stationery that matched his house colors. "Happy Christmas Harry, love from Draco... thanks Draco!"
"Aw I love you to Harry." Neville sniveled.
"Merry Christmas Ron." a homeless bum on the street said rather Americanly. Ron didn't know what this 'Merry' was all about, so he ran away quickly.
And everyone went to bed because it was Christmas Day tomorrow!
During the night, there was a dodgy Santa who woke up Seamus.
Suddenly it was morning and Harry and Draco got woken up at 5:30am by a poor child screaming at them to wake up because it was Christmas.
"Shut up Ron!" Dean Thomas threw Ron out the window and they all went back to sleep to wake up later at a more respectable hour.
When Hermione finally woke up, everyone else had already opened all their presents and were scattered around the Hogwarts grounds.
Draco had gotten a Weasley jersey this year, as well as some yummy cookies and $300 from Mrs Weasley. Harry too, had gotten a jersey, some fudge and $300 too. Harry and Draco put on their warm jerseys that was made with expensive wool and grabbed a handful of cookies and fudge and went outside to play in the snow. They still had about 36 presents each, but that would take them all day to open every one and they really wanted to play in the snow. Harry told Ron to guard the presents and make sure no one stole any.
Ron had received a broken paperclip from The Dursley's with one of their laundry bills. Seamus got given a snazzy green top hat with a green feather from a Mr X. Lavender was happy with her gift which was a lavender scented pillow. Peter Pettigrew had a nice looking ring which was to go on the finger he didn't have. Even Voldemort got into the Christmas spirit, and while he was killing a few hundred muggles, he had Christmas carols playing in the background. Hermione got some books and Neville got a new toad.
Meanwhile in the snow, Hagrid was incognito. He had covered himself completely in snow so he just looked like a snow mountain.
Ron was too poor to play in the snow, so he just sat in front of Harry and Draco's pile-o-presents and sighed.
"Sigh." Ron sighed as he looked out the window and saw the entire school having fun in the snow. Yes, even Dominic Torretto was making snow angels with his car.
Pansy was building an ice sculpture of Draco, Seamus was building a strange looking snowman and had the carrot in the wrong place, Dumbledore was pulling some narly moves on his snow board and several Severus's were sledding down the newly formed snow mountain.
Harry and Draco were being adorable and making cute little snow angels. Draco was being even more adorable and was giggling. Aw!
"Lets build an Igloo and we can live in it for a few days!" Harry suggested, pulling Draco up. And they both skipped off merrily hand in hand to scout out the best place to build an Igloo.
"I'm gonna kill him I will, that damn Dragon!" Ron clawed at the drapes. But before Ron could set fire to all their presents, Madam Pomfrey came in and took him away.
