1: (dialogue) "I know I'm late, but this is for you…" / "A sleigh ride?"

Draco frowned. It was Christmas eve and he was starting to run out of ideas. Everyone else on his list was so easy to shop for. His mother wanted a new pair of silk robes, preferably in some pastel color, anything except black.

Everyone in the family had had enough of the color black. Draco knew she wanted to portray her lighter side, maybe win back some of her friends from before the war...if there was anyone left.

His father, normally troublesome to shop for, was exceptionally easier this year. Instead of wanting powerful dark objects, Lucius was a reformed man. His only request was the Draco find a lovely young witch and settle down. Draco had noticed his father had not said 'a proper young witch', as he usually did.

This mean Draco was free to marry a muggle-born. Since he was planning to propose to Hermione this year, or next, this worked out in his favor. No, his problem was his future fiancee herself. Yes, he could get her another book, she had so many. But that felt too impersonal. He wanted to do something spectacular for her.

Draco sighed looking at the windows of the shops lining Diagon Alley. All were decked out in wonderous Christmas cheer, including lights, wreaths, and candy.

"Maybe I should just get her some candy?" he muttered. Then something caught his eye. It was a small stall in the corner. He walked over to it.

"Good evening, sir, can I interest you in a snowflake pendant? One of a kind, I guarentee it!" The wizard stated. Draco nodded. One of a kind, just like his Hermione. The wizard placed the pendant in a velvet bag smiling at Draco.

"If you want something even more unique, contact Loreena, she's got a one of a kind Christmas experience, no, not like that. It's magical, and family friendly." Draco nodded noting how to contact Loreena. It might be something worth looking into.

Hermione blinked her eyes open. It was Christmas morning and Draco hadn't come home yet. She glared at the clock as if daring to him to give her a lame excuse as to where he was.

"Hermione! Are you awake, come outside!" Draco's voice called from the floo. Rolling her eyes she grabbed her coat and opened their front door.

"I know I'm late, but this is for you," Draco stated gesturing to a golden sled. Hermione couldn't see the animal attached to it.

"A sleigh ride?" She raised one eyebrow.

"Yes, just you and me," Draco answered tapping the sleigh. That's when the creature who would be pulling the couple walked over.

"A unicorn, no, a pair of unicorns? We are taking a sleigh ride, Christmas morning, being pulled by a pair of unicorns?"

"Yes." Hermione squealed loudly and kissed Draco hard enough to almost knock him over.

No unicorns were harmed in the making of this fic.
