Title: A Wynter's Tale
Warnings: Read at your own risk. It's mostly all slash.
Why did I do this again? A good portion of us at the Harem (the Kloset) were a bit sad that there weren't any more drabbles. Wynter, who is awesome, decided to start them up again (which is why this collection is named after her). All of the drabbles (one shots?) that are written by me were written during the course of Wynter's drabble-thon in July of the summer of 2011. Enjoy!
Hali would like Ron/Harry/Hermione and Horcrux Hunt.
"I think one of them is at Hogwarts," Harry said as he shot up in bed and stared into the dark canvas of the tent. Ron and Hermione were still sleeping, judging by the snore and that no one had paid attention to what he was saying. He frowned and looked down at the floor of his bunk, after that little smidgen of a nightmare he wasn't going to get any sleep any time soon.
He managed to get off the bed and over to the table without waking up his two best friends and sighed into his arms while thinking of his nightmare. The hunt for the horcruxes had gone well and they had managed to get all of them and Harry had managed to defeat Voldemort, with a simple disarming spell at that! Not long after people had begun to nag him all the time for Harry to save him from this and that problem and basically wanting Harry to solve everything for them.
Hermione and Ron would have none of that and had practically kidnapped him from the Wizengamot when they had asked him to come take part in some decision-making. They left the UK sometime in December, after everyone had been buried and the wizarding world had just been at the height of their reconstruction when Ron had had it and begged Hermione to just take a breather from everything, that they needed a vacation after all that they had gone through the previous year. Hermione had given very mild protests that even Ron hadn't been convinced with and she got just as excited to research where they were going without actually having to be on the run.
"We're going to New Zealand," Hermione said, her arms crossed at her chest and Ron at her side with a backpack over his shoulder and an easy grin on his face. Harry had looked at them confused and smiled with a nod. "By 'we' I meant you as well."
"I have to help with the reconstruction," Harry protested but Ron was already pulling him towards the lobby of the Ministry. "Guys, honestly, I need to help out here."
"No, you don't," Ron said and was already pulling Harry through a doorway, Hermione at his other side making sure he wouldn't make a run for it. "Hermione got your passport and your Gringotts key as well as your clothes."
Harry hadn't been much of a challenge against Ron and Hermione and two hours later they were in New Zealand and Hermione was demanding they go check out the penguins.
"Harry?"
Harry startled from his position at the table and stared into Ron's worried brown eyes with a raised brow.
"We got them all, Harry," Ron murmured, used to Harry doing this after two weeks of waking up in the middle of the night. "You defeated Voldemort and most of the Death Eaters have been rounded up and we're on vacation," Ron continued with finality. He lifted up the corner of the blanket that was covering him and Hermione and motioned with his head. "Come on, you need to get some sleep or else you won't survive Hermione in the morning when we go visit the fairy mounds."
Harry hesitated a second too long and Ron pursed his lips and began to shuffle off the bed, waking up Hermione in the process.
"Harry, Ron, come to bed," was her icy reply before Ron could move much. Harry's back straightened out and he stepped towards the bed carefully. "In. Now."
Ron smirked at Harry and moved to the side so that Harry was in the middle. He shrugged at Harry's confused look but nudged Harry a bit further to the middle of the bed. Hermione had already thrown a leg over Harry's pajama-clad legs to keep him from moving and Ron was already tucking them in with his head buried in Harry's neck, half asleep.
"We'll be alright, mate. You'll see," Ron murmured and threw his long arm over Harry's stomach as well as Hermione, to get them both in his embrace.
The next one will be: Harry/Neville with sub!Harry.
