Writing prompt - Xmas Shopping

"Where have you been?"

"Hell."

"Oh...did you say hi to my father?"

It was Christmas time and Diagon Alley was packed with folks doing their last minute shopping. Though Hermione had most of her shopping completed by Halloween she still needed a couple of last minute surprises for her new husband Draco. Knackered from her excursion she entered their (not so modest by her standards) townhouse.

Closing the door with a loud thud, Hermione dropped her bags on the floor then dusted off the snow as she took off her winter wear. Draco came around the corner from the kitchen to greet his very tired wife with a kiss on her cold cheek and a cup of hot cocoa.

"Where have you been?" He asked leading her to the sofa.

"Hell." She replied plainly sitting closer to the fire place.

"Oh...did you say hi to my father?" Draco asked giving her a wink and a cheeky smirk.

Hermione rolled her eyes at the question. "No but I did see Molly Weasley and she invited us for brunch on Boxing day."

Draco groaned. "Do we have to go? I hate playing nice with Potty and the Weaselbee."

"Draco Malfoy you will go to brunch and play nice or I will send back all your gifts including the one I just purchased in that little red bag." Hermione huffed.

"Yes dear." Draco conceded.

"And don't call me dear, do I have antlers? Did you put a saltlick in the hall." She continued her mini rant.

"No, I call you dear because you are dear to my heart… Though I doubt we could even see the antlers with that bush of hair on your head." Draco muttered the last part under his breath. Hermione just stuck her tongue out at him. Draco chuckled at her juvenile display.

Putting down his cup then taking hers, he wrapped his arms around her shoulders pulling her closer so she rested on his chest.

"In the spirit of the holidays I, Draco Malfoy promise you Hermione Granger-Malfoy that I will not set one toe out of line during the Weasley's Boxing Day Brunch." He said placing a kiss on her temple.

Hermione looked up at Draco. "You promise?"

"On my honor, my dear." He said with a smile. "Now, will you show me what is in the little red bag?" Finishing with a wink.

Hermione wrinkled her nose at Draco, then placed a kiss on his lips. "Fine… race you to the bedroom." She said pushing off of the sofa to pluck up the bag. Draco leapt up to meet her halfway up the stairs.

Draco wasted no time tossing Hermione on the bed and creeping up over her. Crashing their lips together in a passionate kiss, Draco was the first to break it. Staring deep into her eyes he said. "Happy Christmas Mrs. Malfoy."

"Happy Christmas Mr. Malfoy." She replied.

As promised Draco behaved during brunch.
