Christmas Shopping
Hermione staggered through the door of the apartment and dropped the bags around her on the floor with an exaggerated sigh. She turned and flicked her wand to close and lock the door and proceeded to levitate her shopping victories through into the main room.
Draco didn't look up from the book he was reading.
Hermione coughed.
Draco started humming Christmas songs under his breath as he flipped the page.
Hermione coughed again.
"That sounds like a nasty throat dear," Draco murmured still not looking up, "perhaps you should have some pepper up?"
"Draco!" she growled finally losing patience with his charade and was rewarded with a cheeky smirk as he finally looked up.
"Yes my sweet?" he purred amusement lacing his tone as he watched her silently fume.
"I could kill you some days," Hermione grumbled.
"And I'm sure one day you'll succeed," he replied cheerfully. He cast his eyes around her looking at all the floating, overflowing bags. "I assume, of course, you have bought out the whole of Diagon Alley?"
She glared at him, "no! I am just well prepared, unlike some people. All my Christmas shopping is done in one easy day."
"I don't think you've had an easy day," Draco countered taking in her dishevelled appearance and earning himself a grumble and a glare.
"I notice you haven't done any shopping," she sniffed looking at him in his slacks. "Even though I invited you along."
"My dear it is only the first of December," Draco looked at her as if it were the most obvious thing in the world. "There are seventeen shopping days before Christmas. That means there are sixteen days before I start shopping!"
