Title: With the Living

Rating: G

Warnings: implied parents' deaths

I got Mod's Choice!


Draco found her standing in the cemetery, clutching tightly to her scarf whilst staring down at the tombstones.

"You'll catch your death out here," he said.

"I just miss then, is all. They loved the hols."

He placed his arms around her. "Don't mourn the dead, Hermione. They are with us in the living."

At that a little girl yelled from inside, "Mummy, we have to finish baking Gran's special-recipe cookies!"

She smiled. "It seems our daughter agrees."

She gave one last look at her parents' graves amongst the Malfoys', then turned to finish the holiday baking with her family.


Everyone have a Blessed Yule and Merry Christmas and Happy New Year!
