Countdown to Christmas Drabble/Oneshot Competition!: Day 8 - Mulled Wine Scented Yankee Candle
The Lottery Competition: Christmas, bauble, tinsel, present, "IT'S CHRISTMAS!"
Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter.
"Now we know it's Christmas," Lucius said grandly as he stood back and gestured openly about the living room. The tree was finally put up and fairy lights twinkled in and out of sight among its branches. Large baubles and tinsel hung decorated the tree, and a few were low enough to brush the mountain of presents placed underneath for young Draco.
Speaking of which, at that very moment, Draco ran into the back of his father's knees. "Father!" he cried, holding his hands upwards.
Lucius just smiled as he picked up his son. There was something about Christmas that always made him happy, and seeing the delight in his son's face just made it better.
"IT'S CHRISTMAS!" Draco cried, almost deafening Lucius in one ear.
"Not quite," Narcissa said as she stood by the mantle. She took a long stick and lit the row of candles she had laid out. Soon the smell of mulled wine (as it read on the glass jar) filled the air.
"Now it is," she said before she came over to her family and he pulled her into his embrace. It was Narcissa's favourite candle and he agreed with her. Christmas at Malfoy Manor would not be complete without the scent of a mulled wine in the air.
