That, and he’s insisting that he’s been thrown fifteen years into the future.
The Art of Thank You Notes by fictionclaw (82,286 words, rated E)
A few years after the war, Harry receives a ministry notice that Draco Malfoy’s house arrest will soon be lifted and that the wand he has kept may be sent to the ministry. He doesn’t think much of it when he sends the wand directly to Malfoy Manor with a note.
But one letter swiftly follows another and Malfoy sneaks his way into Harry's every day life without either of them minding.
Or; Harry and Draco find reasons to write letters to each other and Black heirlooms and family histories are uncovered while they figure out why that is. Lunch dates, careful friendship, confusing feelings and Draco's art included.
I hope that wherever you are, you know you have a place by my fire and a place in my heart. Merry Christmas Eve to those who celebrate, and the Happiest of Holiday wishes to all!

A Christmas Drarry Fic: More Than A Legend (18K)
I'm so excited to be posting this fic. I wrote the first 5 chapters in 2009 and now with the final two chapters it is complete! And even better it's been illustrated by the amazingly talented @ihopeyoubothstaysafefromharm
The Summary is short: Harry volunteers to be Father Christmas at Hogwarts, without truly understanding what it entails.
Snippet:
The Polyjuice Potion tasted different. A hint of cool peppermint overshadowed the usual vile flavour. He gulped it down; it tingled along his throat. Draco stood before him, his head tilting to the side as his eyes narrowed. Harry was expecting to feel the physical anomaly of transformation, but there wasn't any. Instead, it was an emotion he never remembered having radiated throughout his body. It was pure joy. He brought his fingers to his face; it felt the same at first, but before a minute had passed, a short beard and moustache grew. Draco was looking perplexed.
"What's wrong?" Harry asked. "Didn't it work?"
Draco reached out with his hand. Hesitantly, his fingertips touched Harry's cheek and stroked the new beard. "You—you're glowing, and your robes changed."
Harry laughed; it didn't sound the same. It was deep and generous. "I have an aura?" he asked. He walked over to a large silver framed mirror by their wardrobe. "Green? I like it, but I don't see any glowing," he said.
Draco stepped next to him and shook his head. "No, Harry, I mean you—you're glowing like happy glowing."

My contribution to the season! My suds fic has a whiff of 🎄🎅🌟Christmas 🎄🎅🌟 to it.
“Bit of a funny coincidence, isn’t it?” Harry says, conscious that he’s been staring appraisingly. “Running into you in Finland, of all places?” Draco looks amused. “Are you following me again, Potter?”  “Harry,” he corrects, smiling. He and Draco had become civil enough with one another in the years after school. “And no, this is all Luna. She sent me to Helsinki for a diet of fish and saunas. I’m here until New Year’s Eve.”  “Christmas alone?” Draco asks. 
Harry's in Helsinki to spend the holidays alone. Or maybe... not so alone? Enter Draco Malfoy, drop-dead-gorgeous globe-trotter.

Want to decorate Christmas tree together?
Tumblr media
Word 6: waffles
This idea came from the most random conversation so here we are.
As soon as the bell rang, Draco hurriedly answered the door although he was pretty sure it was too early for anything and he didn't have anything to be delivered at the place but he went anyway.
He opened the door to a man holding a sheet of paper, "Yes?"
"Delivery for Draco Malfoy?"
"That's me but I didn't order anything." Draco frowned.
"It's a parcel." The man said and handed Draco the sheet of paper to sign it.
"What is it?" Draco asked as he stepped more outside the door to notice almost a 5 feet tall Christmas tree standing erect.
"Do you know who might've sent it?" Draco asked but the man shook his head.
Draco signed the paper and the man's co-workers took the tree inside and placed it where Draco asked them to.
"This came with it." One of the co-worker said as he handed him a small piece of card.
As all of them left, Draco finally opened the small card and immediately recognised the handwriting and smiled.
He took out his phone from his pocket and dialled the number.
"Morning." Draco immediately greeted as he picked up the call on the other end.
"You sound too chirpy for me in the morning." Harry said but Draco could still recognise the smile behind the call.
"It's 9 am, why are you still sleeping?" Draco asked as he looked at the tree endearingly.
"Because it's a Saturday, Draco. But I'm up now." Harry said as Draco heard some shuffling on the other end.
"I got your parcel today. When were you planning on telling me that you bought me a 5 feet tall Christmas tree?" Draco asked.
Harry sighed on the other end, "You said you didn't have time to buy the Christmas tree with everything going around and how the shops are too far away. I just wanted you to be able to decorate the tree on Christmas and since we can't be together, it's hard enough."
"Yes but it's only one Christmas. I could've bought a small one for me."
“Yes but I bought it for you now.” Harry said. 
Draco smiled, “You’re a menace, Harry Potter.” 
“Yes, I know but now tell me do you want to decorate it together?” Harry asked.
“We’re in different places, Harry. How are we ever supposed to do it together?” Draco asked confused. 
“We have internet, Draco, we can always do video call.” 
“You know I suck at muggle technology.” Draco remarked. 
“Well, we can do a call and stay on it while we decorate it together and then send each other pictures.” Harry suggested. 
Draco thought about it for a moment, it didn’t actually make sense to do it together, the process of decorating it while on the call seemed like a time consuming idea even. 
“What would we get out of decorating it together?” Draco frowned.
“That we get to decorate it together? Come on, do you want to or not?” Harry asked. 
Draco was still confused but then there was something in Harry’s offer that made him want to do it together, so he agreed. 
They both agreed to call in the evening after they had done all their work, chores and when nobody would disturb them so they would just be with each other. So, when the evening came they did just that, they started decorating the tree together on a call with wired earphones plugged in to their phones. 
Draco had thought it would be almost odd but they slipped briskly into conversations. Harry kept asking random questions like if the cat ornament would look better next to the dog ornament or licorice ornament which made Draco wonder what the hell Harry was doing but at the same time it was all very amusing. He told Harry about his family traditions and how they used to celebrate christmas together and about how every year he would bake cake with his mum as a Christmas ritual but can't this year because his parents' are arriving late this year while Harry told him about his Christmases especially the ones he spent at the burrow. They also got around talking about how things are going and somehow some old school talks and they both realised how funny it was when Draco used to try to get Harry’s attention. They laughed off most of the call but it was just a beautiful bubble moment Draco never wanted to get out of. Towards the end of decorating, Harry started complaining about how Marco, his dog was eating the Christmas balls which had Draco laughing all the more and then making fun of Marco. 
When it was finally done, Draco clicked the picture of his Christmas tree and sent it to Harry and Harry in return sent two pictures, one of his Christmas tree and the other one of Marco chewing off the Christmas ball which made him smile. 
Draco was looking at both the Christmas trees and then he realised, 
“I’ve never decorated a Christmas tree with anyone before.” 
“Really? What about your Mum and Dad at the Manor?” 
“Nope. They were mostly busy with Christmas invites or holding a Christmas ball and I didn’t even use to decorate the main hall tree even, just the small one in my bedroom hallway.” 
“Well.. now you’ve decorated it with someone, how does it feel?”
Draco thought about it for a moment, then looked at his tree and finally said it, 
“Like I want to celebrate the rest of them with you,”  
There was a pause after that. Harry didn’t say anything so Draco went on, 
“I didn’t think about it before but I want to and I know we haven’t been dating all that long but you know the moment when you just know-”
“Draco, I love you.” 
There was a pause again and Draco continued again,
“I-I never knew I wanted to decorate it with you. I didn’t even know it was a romantic gesture till now but Harry- nobody would ever do this for me, send me a Christmas tree, ask me to decorate it with him- I guess what I’m trying to say is that I love you, too, Harry. Merlin, it feels so good to finally say it out loud.” Draco and Harry both chuckled at their ends. 
“I want to decorate all of my mine with you too, Draco.” Harry finally said and Draco smiled. 
“Do you want to bake cake together as well?” Harry asked after a while.
Draco grinned on his side, "Absolutely. Tomorrow at 5?"
"Done."
In that moment, he realised he's found it, he's found the one man he had been looking his whole life for and he’s never finding anyone better. Ever. He didn't need to find anymore, it was him. It was Harry. All along.
Tagging some of y'all for a boost, don't hesitate if you're uncomfortable with the tag <3

Merry Christmas to everyone who celebrates. And if not, happy holidays in general!! I hope you all have an amazing time no matter what 💕
🎄Breakfast in bed🎄
A drarry drabble
Before he even opened his eyes, a smile was already blooming on his face. The room was filled with rays of winter sun falling through the cracks between the curtains. The smell of freshly made food came underneath the closed door. And the warmth of the blankets surrounding him like a cocoon felt heavenly against his soft skin.
It was Christmas.
The most amazing time of the year. With strings of light decorating the streets and snowflakes dancing around in the cold winter air, it almost felt like a fairy tale. And Draco absolutely loved it.
Throwing the covers away, Draco crawled out of bed and put on one of those ugly Christmas sweaters Molly always made every year. He walked out their room and down the stairs. The hardwood floor was cold against his bare feet.
He found Harry standing in the kitchen, cooking breakfast and brewing fresh coffee. He was only wearing his boxers and one of those ridiculous aprons Blaise had given him for his birthday a few years ago. Honestly, who would want to wear an apron with This Is My Gaypron on it?
Harry looked up at the sound of Draco entering the kitchen. “Oh, you’re already awake?”
Draco huffed, rolling his eyes as he came to stand next to Harry. He placed a kiss on his cheek. “Good morning to you, too.”
Placing the knife he was using to chop some mushrooms down on the counter, Harry turned to Draco and put his arms around his waist, pulling him closer. “Sorry, love,” he said, his voice low. “I wanted to surprise you with breakfast in bed.”
“Really?” Draco raised his eyebrows. With both of them working full time jobs they hadn’t really had time for themselves, let alone breakfast in bed.
“Yeah. Since we’re both home now and it’s Christmas, I thought—”
But Draco shook his head, making Harry stop. “No, no. It’s okay.” He pulled away from Harry. “I’ll just… go back to bed and pretend this never happened. We can still eat breakfast in bed.”
Harry laughed, his shoulders shaking with mirth. “You’re unbelievable,” he said as he came closer to Draco again. He lifted one hand to cup the side of Draco’s face. “But Merlin, it makes me love you even more.”
Their lips met somewhere in the middle, coming together in a soft and sweet kiss. Draco couldn’t help the smile that pulled at his lips. “Merry Christmas, Harry,” he mumbled against Harry’s mouth.
Harry’s answering smile was just as bright, if not brighter, than Draco’s. “Merry Christmas, my love.”

🎄 Christmas 2022 🎄
Festive Melody by @crazybutgood (90 words, rated G)
For show-and-tell one day, one of the children at Harry’s at-home daycare brings an intriguing Christmas ornament she’d found collecting dust in her attic. After fiddling with it, she soon learns why it was banished when it starts playing Christmas songs on a loop, impossible to stop, driving everyone up the wall.

Draco is beside himself that someone would treat a hero this way.

Wintergreen by @dreamsinthewitchouse (1,430 words, rated T)

Merry, Muggle, and Magical by @typewriteringalaxy (2,478 words, rated G)

Word on the Street by cloudlings (6,131 words, rated E)
The quill finishes writing, and Harry’s instincts warn him that the worst hasn’t even left the reporter’s mouth yet.
Then he speaks again.
And there it is.
“Let’s talk about Draco Malfoy.”
The Red Jumper by toomuchplor (14,907 words, rated E)
Draco's plans for Christmas Eve are as follows:
1 - Sleep as long as possible 2 - Have sex 3 - Drink wine 4 - Eat too much food 5 - Repeat above
It’s just gone eight in the morning when Harry begins to derail Draco’s plans.
First Christmas by orpheus87 (22,680 words, rated G)
Sometimes, being floored by a Labrador isn't such a bad thing.
Harry and Draco went to the same university and although they each knew who the other was, they weren't close friends. When they bump into one another five years later, in a park in York, one conversation leads to another and they soon become closer than they imagined.
Aere Perennius by @onbeinganangel (23,195 words, rated M)
Upon Narcissa’s death, Draco Malfoy lets his best mate decide on a new place for him to live and set up his flower shop. Pansy, the meddling witch that she is, picks Godric’s Hollow. Specifically, the oh-so-conveniently available space next to Harry Potter’s bookshop. What could possibly go wrong? According to Hermione, only everything. According to Ron, this is exactly what Harry needs. Blaise is only there to watch the whole thing crash and burn, and Luna saw it coming years ago.
Changing with the season by @harryromper (36,255 words, rated T)
Harry's determined the first time he hosts the extended Weasley clan for Christmas will be a success. The Grimmauld Place advent calendar has other ideas ... until Draco shows up to help.
You Make It Feel Like Christmas by gglow (52,163 words, rated M)
At thirty years old, Draco Malfoy has successfully obtained a reputable degree in Ancient Languages, has proceeded to shut himself into the basement of London Library as their Head of Archives, and is wilfully nursing a problematic relationship with a man Blaise eloquently describes as “a sleazy piece of trash”. So yes, he’s got it all worked out, ta ever so.
It’s only too bad that when Harry Potter—the youngest Head Auror in a century—happens to need Draco’s help with a case, a string of encounters ensues that turn Draco’s pre-perceptions of him on their head. To make matters even worse, Potter brings Draco tea, and carries his bags, and says things that are much too straightforward for comfort. And if it makes Draco question why he ever hated the speccy git in the first place, well, that’s no one else’s business but Draco’s… right?
Will flying South for Christmas spare Draco from heartache? And does it make sense to salvage the dwindling fire with his elusive beau, or will the kindle of a new flame give Christmas a whole new meaning?
A Melody of You & Me by @academicdisasterfic (64,838 words, rated E)
Draco Malfoy has a Christmas choir competition to win, and Harry Potter has an orphanage that needs funding. When Luna Lovegood intervenes, they agree to help each other out: Harry will join the choir if Draco chooses to sponsor his charity.
But agreeing to work together also means getting to know each other again - in new and unexpected ways.
Ft. a chaotic festive choir, scheming friends, a healthy dose of mental health issues, one very irritating ex, and boys learning how to love and be loved.
Kaleidoscope by Saras_Girl (104,284 words, rated E)
If Harry’s honest, the last thing he needs is a house full of Draco Malfoy, but partners are partners, and perhaps, the thing he wants the least will turn out to be absolutely everything. 2021 advent fic, completed.
Be sure you don't miss out on @babooshkart's amazing art and fic recommendation for A Melody of You & Me!
❤️ As always, if you find a fic you enjoy, please remember to leave the creator a kudos or comment ❤️
🎄Lots of Love and Merry Christmas!🎄

A Christmas away from home
Tumblr media
Word 1: Forest
"Just a little bit more. Watch your foot, try not to trip." Harry said as he held onto Draco with a blindfold around his eyes.
"Whatever it is, I hope it's as good for all the struggle you're putting me through." Draco said as he took a cautious step.
They walked a little bit more to what Draco could only assume was a forest until they finally came to a halt and Harry softly took off Draco's blindfold.
Harry stood beside Draco for a moment as he took it all in before he stepped ahead and started, "I know it's not a lot. I could only ask Pansy for so much help and I know this won't be as sophisticated as your Christmas but I wanted to give you your own sophisticated celebration with just the two of us so we can have our own type of Christmas celebration."
The thing was, this year Draco was unable to go back home for Christmas because of the ongoing court procedures still running around after the war. Both Draco and his parents believed that it would be better if he didn’t come home that year but It came up only a few days ago in a conversation while they were in the great hall after hours when Draco finally said the the reason he was sad is because he couldn't go home for the holidays and despite being at home wasn’t the best, he liked the warm feeling of decorating christmas tree, hanging around decorations, having a small party of their own and how it is the one day of the year he enjoyed being at home the most because nobody said anything to him. He misses all of that. 
Harry came forward and took Draco’s hands in his both his hands and said, “Look, I know this isn’t the same. It probably is not even half as close to the party you may have or the christmas tree may not be as giant as your house but I just couldn’t see you being bummed out because of it.”
“Harry- this is- Why?” Draco couldn’t bring himself to say anything else. 
“Why what?” 
“Why would you do this? And how? Like I just don’t get it.” Draco fumbled with his own words because he was too overwhelmed. 
Harry chuckled, “Because I wanted you to feel at home for Christmas and I’m quite seriously dying to listen that I am unfunny as hell and you haven’t said that in a week.” 
Draco gave him a small chuckle and then turned away from Harry as tears glimmered in his eyes. 
“Draco,” Harry softly said as he hugged Draco from behind, nuzzling his face into his neck, comforting him and he said after a while, “Will you celebrate Christmas with me?” 
Draco finally nodded, pushing away the happy tears that came in his eyes. 
“Shall we?” Harry asked when Draco finally turned around and he took Draco’s hand in his own again and intertwined them together. Draco nodded and they walked around the small area Harry had decorated with golden fairy lights, a very small christmas tree and a table in the center with bunch of candles lit over it. 
“So, how is this going to work?” Draco finally asked as he took all of it in. 
“I’m glad you asked. First, we’ll have dinner which by the way, I did not cook because you and I both know that I am a terrible cook sometimes and I didn’t want to risk a perfect evening. Next, we’ll actually hang a bunch of stuff on that small Christmas tree, then I’ll show the gifts I bought you, and then I have a little surprise for you and that would be the last thing for the evening and finally end today with a kiss.” Harry explained thoroughly. 
“I can’t believe you’ve inserted kissing as a part of your masterplan, Harry.” Draco smiled. 
“Monsieur, kissing is the most essential part of the evening.” Harry said emphasizing the from the sentence with almost too much pride that Draco wondered how much could he possibly love this man without any reason but there seemed no end. 
And as planned, they did all the things Harry had planned for the evening, from dinner to gifts that Draco promised to give Harry the next morning, until it came to the final surprise for the evening. 
“So, what’s the surprise?” Draco asked as he stepped closer to Harry and ran his hand through his hair. 
Harry visibly blushed but composed himself too soon and accioed the brooms. 
“Ever since you took time off Quidditch, I’ve felt very lonely about playing Quidditch because I have no opponent I like but I’ve noticed how much you miss flying and I know that its your favourite thing in the world,So,” Harry took a pause and bought Draco’s hands close and kissed it softly and continued, “Will you do me the honour of flying with me this evening?” 
Draco looked at Harry for a moment longer than two, feeling his heart beat louder and his heart growing fonder and fonder for this boy with the most atrocious hair he could ever come across but damn him, he was feeling too many things for Harry at once that he doubted if it was humanly possible to do so. 
He smiled at Harry and then nodded his head, “I’d be very happy to fly with you, Harry Potter.” 
Harry grinned back and handed one of the brooms to Draco and he himself took one before both of them mounted it and took off in the air. 
They flew far high in the air and in circles, screaming and laughing all it off for far too long until they naturally grew tired and came to a halt next to each other, hanging mid air. 
Draco let out a long breath, still smiling, “I never realised how beautiful Hogwarts look from up here.” 
Harry smiled as well, “Hogwarts has always been beautiful, its just that this is the first time you’re encountering it during the best time of the year.” 
“How do you know this?”
“I came here once during the 6th year, I was just flying to get things clear off my mind when I saw this. Its astonishing really how you can be around something for so long but never realise how beautiful or good it really is.” Harry said. 
It was true honestly. Hogwarts looked the most beautiful castle in the whole world at the moment and it wasn’t just about the castle, it was about everything in and out, the lights, the snow, hogsmeade, the giant Christmas tree, it all looked so beautiful and Draco couldn’t believe he has never seen it before. But the most beautiful thing at the time was being in the air with Harry. 
Draco kept looking at Harry so fondly for so long that he forgot he had to even look away all the while wondering how did he ever get so lucky until Harry said something about how they should probably go back to the ground. He was in love, not just with him but every little thing, things he does, this moment, being here for Christmas, Hogwarts, with Christmas and for the first time, he finally felt like he belonged somewhere and it was this moment, he belonged to every moment with Harry. 
When they finally hit the ground, Harry took away Draco’s broom and his own and leaned it against the tree. Draco sensed the silence in the moment and used it as an opportunity to let everything out of his heart. 
“Harry?” 
Harry turned around and came to stand just in front of Draco, “Yes, love.” 
Draco melted and he let out the biggest smile he could ever pull off and without thinking he kissed Harry. Somewhere he thinks he was waiting for this moment all evening but he finally did it and it felt like snow melting away in the sun. It felt like the perfect moment, the perfect time, everything just perfect and that person Draco was kissing, the most perfect of them all. 
When they finally separated, Draco smiled at Harry still holding onto his neck and spoke so softly, “I loved all of it today. You have no idea how much all of this meant to me and being able to spend all this time with you, celebrating tonight with you, it was the most perfect thing ever and you made it all so perfect, so, I think I want to say thankyou but much more than that I want to say I love you, in the most real and pure way. I wouldn’t have Christmas any other way.” 
Harry smiled back at Draco and gave him a little peck on the cheek and said, “I love you, too and it has never felt more real than now.” 
They stood there for a few more minutes holding onto each other until the clock stroke midnight and they decided that it’d be the best to go back inside before the snowfall begins again. 
They were finally walking hand in hand towards the castle when Draco finally said one last thing of the evening, “By the way, Harry, Quidditch is no longer my favourite thing in the world, its you.” 
And Harry could only smile, “And you’re mine.”  
Tagging some of y'all for a boost, don't hesitate if you're uncomfortable with the tag <3

“Give me a nice thing,” Harry said that night.
Draco blinked up at him, sleepy and lazy, like a lizard in the warm. “This is the happiest I’ve ever been,” he said.” - Nice Things, aideomai
Here’s a little gift for everyone here ♡ I’d like to think that often, Draco would stop, pause, and think, it’s a sheer wonder that they get to be together like this.
