The Nightmare Before Christmas

Draco was dragging his feet and rolling his eyes and begging silently for some sort of natural god willed disaster that would stop him from having to suffer through yet another Weasley Christmas eve.

He had long ago managed to convince Hermione that it was in their best interests to have Christmas day, and morning, all to themselves and that had worked a treat but now he had to suffer every year as the Weasley's glared at him for ruining their perfect little family Christmas.

Hermione ignored his whining expertly as she dealt with it every year and soon enough they were packed into the tiny sitting room that was far too small to fit everyone who just had to be there on Christmas Eve.

They had decided to do presents then because not everyone could be there on Christmas day and whilst Draco was always included there was nothing more than token presents. He was okay with that, he knew his place in the grand scheme of things and he had made his peace with it.

Everyone went round and opened presents, he got socks and homemade chocolate all of the usual things and eventually he was left with the last gift to open. That was how it usually happened normally it was some sort of muggle device off Arthur. The most thoughtful gift of all really seeing as he had a job in the muggle world.

Everyone looked at him expectantly as he reached down and picked up the squishy packet. Clothing?

He tore open the cheerful wrapping paper and felt a lump form in his throat. He picked up the thick, green, woollen jumper and held it in front of him. Right there in the middle was a big, white, D.

He let the jumper fall in his lap and was embarrassed to feel tears stinging his eyes as he looked around the room his eyes skimmed past Hermione who was beaming proudly and fell on Molly, the matriarch of the house.

"Welcome to the family Draco," she said to him and he smiled so big his face hurt.
