Ceremony
It was so cold, rather unnecessarily so in Draco's opinion. The church was packed to the brim but every single person in here still had their coats on. It was midnight, sure, and nights were colder than days but honestly didn't these people have central heating?
He looked down the pew at the Granger family and tried to remember when it was he was supposed to sit back down. Everyone was singing at the moment and he was moving his mouth and singing the occasional word to keep up appearances but he absolutely no idea what was really going on.
Hermione looked up at him and smiled encouragingly and he remembered why he was doing this, because it was her family and her religion and he loved her.
She also tugged his hand as an indication to sit down.
He looked around the beautiful room and noticed all the different candles dotted about the place in front of statues and on the alter. He leant towards Hermione.
"What's with the random pink one?" he whispered
Hermione followed his gaze to the alter where the advent wreath and candles stood each burning brightly. "They're advent candles," she explained, "they represent the weeks up to Christmas and the white one is lit on Christmas day, that's why he's lighting it now."
"Still, why pink? Couldn't they have gone for a nice blue?"
"I don't know why pink," she chuckled softly, "besides there's nothing wrong with pink."
"It's so girly," he complained jokingly.
"That's like saying blue is only for boys," she flashed him an amused and disapproving look, "now pay attention we have to stand up again."
