Summary: Draco is used to getting Christmas presents. His girlfriend gets him the best presents. This year, her presents are a bit… odd? Or at the least, likely to annoy his parents.

Characters acting slightly OOC (Out Of Character), implied Dramione.

(Wizarding) Christmas Countdown

Day 5

Dear Hermione,

I am not afraid to admit that I breathed a sigh of relief when no more birds emerged from your latest present. 5 gold rings make a nice change from squawking, defecating balls of feathers. Once Mother and Father got over their relief, their old attitudes re-emerged. Mother tried on every ring on every finger, cooing over how each one suited a different finger, while Father was sniffing at the quality of the gold in the rings. I didn't want to see what his reaction would have been if he was told you had probably Transfigured them out of stones or something similar.

In other news, the partridge decided to ally itself with the calling birds. A wise move on its part, as the inevitable fight led to a loss for the turtle doves and the French hens. The Magizoologist is becoming a regular guest: Mother insisted that he take home some leftover scones the elf had made, along with payment of 2 Galleons for services rendered. The stock of Firewhiskey in the cellars are running frighteningly low.

Yours affectionately,

Draco.
