The flat was a beautiful one. The twins were beginning to crawl know and becoming an absolute nightmare to keep track of.

Spells and charms had to placed around the flat to stop the girls from injuring themselves as they grabbed wires and stuck their fingers in sockets.

In the end Harry ended up buying a 2 by 2 meter play mat with charms around the side so they couldn't venture off it.

In the evenings Draco would sit and watch them as he read his book and Harry cooked the tea. His injuries were now all fully healed and he was helping a lot more with the housework and childcare.

He hadn't however made any progress with winning Harry back. They were still sleeping in separate beds and hadn't so much as kissed since he had returned.

It was the end of November and getting cold, Draco was looking forward to the Christmas month. He had bought Harry an engagement ring.

He knew when he had gone over to Voldermort's side their relation had been set back in a major way but this was what he had always wanted.

He knew what he felt for Harry wasn't lust, he had mistaken it before but he wouldn't any more.

On the tenth of December found Harry and Draco assembling the Christmas tree much to the amusement of the twins who sat and watched occasionally giggling.

Within the hour it was up and looking magnificent. All the decorations were muggle except the lights, which were fairies and kept moving so the twins couldn't catch them.

The variation of colour was amazing and kept the girls amused for half an hour.

Harry sat down on the sofa and admired their handy work. Draco sat next to him, as close as he could without invading personal space.

"It's so beautiful." Harry commented.

"Yes." Draco agreed. "Much like you."

Harry looked at him with a shy smile on his face. He wasn't used to compliments.

"I don't know what to say Draco, it's so hard."

"Don't say anything...jut kiss me."
