Draco awoke the next morning, quite early in fact, to someone pulling his hair. He grumbled.
"DDDDAAAAAADDDDDYYYYYY!" Screeched Amber who was desperately trying to get her father OUT of bed. But failing miserable. James appeared next to her, seemingly out of hammer space, and "shh" ed her. His hands were holding something firmly behind his back.
"The best way to get a parent out of bed is to do this.." James instructed her before pulling out a metal pot and spoon. He began to bang, relentlessly together, the two metal objects. Causing a yell from Draco and many giggles from Amber. James quickly gave her the items and to the door.
"I was NOT here, got it Bear?" he told her. She giggled at the nickname and nodded. James disappeared with a wide smile.
Amber hopped onto Draco's stomach and began the loud banging till he grabbed the metal torture devices and through them on the floor. Amber blinked at her father, who till had his eyes closed and appeared to be in deep slumber. She poked his cheek once, twice, a third time then strong hands grabbed her stomach and began tickling her. Amber's giggles never ceased. Draco tossed his daughter on the bed next to him and kissed her forehead.
"Happy Christmas Sweetie." He laughed.
"Happy Christmas daddy! Oh guess what!"
Draco sat up on his bed and smiled. And Amber jumped up in front of him.
"Santa came! Santa! Daddy! Presents!!!" She yelled and clapped happily. Draco smiled.
"Ginny wants us down stairs now. To open presents!" She clapped again.
Draco and Amber stared at each other for a minute.
"GO!" Draco yelled and Amber jumped off the bed and began running. Draco ran after her down the hall trying to put on pants and a T-shirt the whole time. When they entered the living from the enclosed staircase, everyone was there. And poor Draco ran in out of breath having fallen in the sprint down the hallway.
Snape smiled at Draco (who was hunched over trying to regain what breath he had loss).
"Racing with Amber again? You're getting to older for that Draco." Snape teased Draco.
Draco looked up and glared. "Bite me, Severus."
"Uh-a. Temper, temper." Came the sly reply.
"Grrrrr.." Draco hissed. Ginny smiled, She walked over and handed him and dark green wrapped package.
"Here, This is for you." Her smile brightened.
Draco blinked at the package and took it. It was quite small and light. He looked around at everyone. James and Vincent sat on the couch along with Hermione. Ron was sitting on the floor with Alec, Louis, and Daniel. And Severus was holding Amber's small hand with his big one. Draco opened the package to find a piece of string. He noted that the string was coming out of the bottom. And dually noted James was grinning.
"Is this a game?" He asked looking at the group of mischievous folk. They all smiled/grinned wider. He shrugged and began pulling on the string. Draco become more confused than he already was when he pulled the string and Ginny's hand came flying into his face with the string tied around it.
Draco glazed at her and blushed. "What's..What's going on?"
"James told me of your little "talk" and decided that I would be your Christmas present."
Draco stared at the beautiful red head in front of him then turned and glared at the Harry-mini-me.
"I hate you." Draco said.
"No,no,no...I hate YOU." James laughed and gave Draco a cheesy thumbs up. Draco stared at him moment till two small hands reached his un-shaven face. Gray eyes met blue as Ginny forced Draco to look at her.
"Draco, will you accept this present?" She asked hopefully, giving him one of THOSE looks. You know, one of those looks of complete devotion and love. Draco smiled. He didn't answer Ginny only smiled and patted hand.
Ginny's eyes widened. Tears filled her eyes. James sat up straight fast and looked at his mother crying and Draco smiling.
The entire room went tense and the children were on their toes about to scream objections into Draco's face, Why wasn't he answering!?
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Author's note: I lied. MWA HA HA. I thought if I left ya'll hangin' ya'll would be livid. I've changed me mind again. I am woman; I have a license to do that, periodically if I wish. And As it were I've decided that, I'll take me precious time and finish it, then one rainy day when my mind wonder's back to the horrid piece of shit this is, I'll put it all together.
And I want to thank ye all again, for like the 5 fuckin' time, I happy to have people like you all (no offense) reading my stories.
