Baubles


"Happy Halloween!"

Marcus Flint raised an eyebrow at the happy smile on Harry's face as he held out a small wrapped package.

"Halloween isn't a gift-giving holiday," he pointed out. Harry's smile didn't waver, even as he slid onto Marcus's lap.

"I know," he said as he felt large hands come to rest on his hips. "But I still wanted to give you one."

Marcus's eye twitched but he accepted the gift anyway. He unwrapped it, raising an eyebrow at the item inside. It looked a bit like a Christmas bauble, a tiny one, attached to a chain. Marcus picked it up and looked at the Slytherin green item for a moment before he clasped the necklace around his neck.

Harry grinned, wrapping his arms around Marcus's neck and burying his face in his throat. Marcus held him back, not noticing as the words 'Property of Harry Potter' blazed across his back in bright orange.

It was Halloween after all.
