Notes: This is a little Christmas challenge from dracoharry100. I had so much fun writing this! I like how this story played out, but in ways I'm kind of upset because I don't really have a chance to expand... It still turned out to be a good story.. Just looks like I'm bashing Ginny which I'm not trying to do! I Hope you guys like it!

Harry laughed like a mad man as he seemed to fly down the hillside. Draco could only stand and watch, having objected to doing anything that threatened to cause any snow to trespass into the warmth of his jacket. "Hey, aren't you going to join him?" Draco heard Ginny ask him as she walked up beside him.
Draco spared her a glance before turning back to watch as Harry climbed his way back up the hill he had just finished sliding down, raising an eyebrow as he watched Harry fall to his knees. "If I was going to join him in this 'fun' then I'd be out there right now, now wouldn't I?" Draco replied not really caring how he sounded. He wasn't too fond of the sideway glances he had caught her giving Harry for the past few hours. "You could of course join him if you wish it."
"I planned on it." Ginny said, her chin lifting a little as she smiled. "I'm not too worried about getting a little snow in my knickers." And with that she walked off not caring about the appalled look Draco gave her.
Draco could have sworn he saw red, well more red, when she had said that. 'How dare she!' he thought in outrage as he watched her retreating back heading towards his Harry. "Just because she's from 'the old day's' she thinks so highly of herself." Draco mumbled as his hand inched towards his wand. "Twig of a girl." Draco said in outrage and just turned his head suddenly interested in the surrounding area as his hand dropped to his side.
"I know it can be hard." Hermione said as she seemed to come from out of nowhere to stand by Draco's side. "Don't worry, Harry wouldn't even give her a look now that he's with you and I think that's why she wants him now... There are depths to her I'm sure but, nothing to write home about... Anyway nothing substantial happened between the two of them so it might as well be like nothing ever happened there. Also, she's missing key parts Harry enjoys." Hermione said with a wicked grin on her face which caused Draco to feel a little better.
"She is still an eyesore."
"She's still Ron's sister." Hermione finished as if that explained everything. "Hot chocolate?" she asked holding out a mug.
"Thanks." Draco said as he took the warm drink from Hermione, and as he began to sip it he felt his insides warm and he realized just how cold he was. "So how long do you think they'll be at it?"
"Well, Ginny will leave after a few trips down... No matter what she says, snow in your knickers is rather uncomfortable. As for Ron and Harry... There is no telling." She finished with a smile.
"Brilliant, I'm in love with a Yeti..."
Hermione burst out laughing nearly dropping her hot chocolate. "Really?" glancing at Harry she smiled "You're comparing Harry to a Yeti?"
"Only for this frigid weather..." Draco said as he sneezed. Why didn't it feel like that spell he cast earlier to keep his clothes warm was keeping him warm at all? Draco mused as he pulled his jacket tighter and took another drink from the hot chocolate.
"Draco it might help if you moved around. Or you can just go inside?" Hermione suggested.
"Not while that... Not while Ginny's hanging all over what's mine." Draco answered.
Hermione smiled at Draco understanding what he meant and looked over to where Ginny was currently using Harry as a snow shield on the sleigh as they went down the hillside together. "He doesn't seem to be having as much fun as he was with Ron, does he?"
"Probably because he keeps having to grab her so she doesn't fall from the sleigh and then making sure they don't both topple over... She's doing it on purpose."
"Go show her how it's done." Hermione suggested with a knowing smile. "I can hold your drink if you'd like."
Draco was about to refuse before she did it again but this time Harry couldn't right the sleigh in time causing the two to topple over and Ginny rolled until she was on top of Harry. Draco watched as she laid there for a second longer then she should have to cause Harry to worry for her before she sat up with a smile and began saying something to Harry, laughing and flirting, as Harry helped her to her feet and they started back up the hill dodging Ron and his transfigured tube.
"Yes, hold my drink." Draco decided and with that handed the drink off to Hermione, not caring if she actually grabbed it or not. His mind was set on one thing, show that two bit weasel who Harry was with. "Harry, I've decided to try this death trap that's taken your attention from me." Draco said as Harry and Ginny reached the top of the hill.
Harry's face lit up at Draco's words and he almost forgot what he was here doing. Then as he spotted Ginny's glare from behind Harry, Draco smirked as he remembered. "I'm sure Ginny wouldn't mind if we turned this little sleigh into our sleigh for a bit. I'm sure she could transfigure something like Ron has."
"You don't mind do you Ginny?" Harry asked as he turned to her with a smile.
"Oh no it's alright I was thinking about calling it a day pretty soon anyway."
"Oh really? I thought you were saying something about 'snow not being such a bad thing in your knickers' earlier." Draco said with a smirk challenging her.
"Yeah Ginny, you can't leave now! We're just getting the hill rides going." Harry said excitedly, completely oblivious as to what was going on between Draco and Ginny.
Ginny smiled. "Then I guess I'll stay a little longer."
"Brilliant." Harry said as he went to get the sleigh ready.
"Truly, it is brilliant you haven't decided to cower away from a little snow." Draco said with a smirk as he followed after Harry. Ginny glared after him.
"You ready?"
"As ready as I'll ever be!" Draco said as he was flush against Harry's backside. 'I'm an idiot, a fool, a moron!' Draco thought and then they were off. Sure it was slow at first but then it started to get faster, then faster, then Draco was screaming inside his head. 'HOW IS THIS FUN!? I'M GOING TO DIE BECAUSE I GOT JEALOUSE! SERVES ME RIGHT FOR BEING JEALOUS OF A WEASLEY! OH GOD IS THAT THE BOTTOM! IS THAT A TREE!?'
Draco nearly screamed for real when Harry finally pulled the sleigh sideways, but because Draco hadn't been expecting it he had been trying to pull the sleigh the opposite direction causing both of them to go flying from the sleigh as it soared through the air.
"Draco! Draco are you alright?" Harry asked panicked as he crawled towards Draco.
Draco looked up from the snow and knew that this white, beautiful, slush had saved his life. "How is this fun?" Draco said as he glared from where he laid.
"Oh baby I'm so sorry I thought I'd give you a ride to remember but... I should have known you'd try to turn the sleigh." Harry said as he helped Draco up to his knees and begun dusting the snow off. "Does it hurt anywhere?"
"Thankfully not... But I do think I have snow in my trousers." Draco said looking down himself and wondered what happened to the days when he didn't have to go through such troubles. "I would very much like for these fun sleigh rides to be more fun and less of an experience where I see my life flying before my eyes."
"I promise Draco." Harry whispered as he leaned in to kiss Draco gently. "And when we get home I'll do something about the snow in your trousers."
The End
