Title: The Second Day of Christmas
Warnings: none
Summary: Bored on Boxing Day, Draco's surprised with a gift.
Disclaimer: Not mine, although I think I’m sometimes nicer to them than JKR is.
A/N: any suggestions for better titles will be gratefully received.
26th December – Boxing Day
He was bored. Dear Merlin, he was bored. Boxing Day was so dull. A day for leftovers. And he was a leftover friend.
Draco quickly told himself to stop being so self-pitying. He finally had his wand back, he should still be celebrating! He sent a stream of red and green sparks up towards his bed’s canopy, in deference to the season, and considered making a house with his new Exploding Snap deck.
I’m never moving again. I’ll just sit here until they find my tragically beautiful, emaciated corpse.
When Weasley’s little owl swooped into the room Draco leapt off the bed and grabbed it all in one movement. He ripped into the parcel it was carrying.
It was a book.
“Huh.” This was not particularly exciting. Draco supposed if you were friends with Hermione Granger for seven years it rubbed off on you. The book looked all right, though. It was called Magic Mechanics – A User’s Guide.
It occurred to Draco that this was not a case of returning something of his. This was an actual present.
He grabbed the note. There must be an explanation!
Malfoy,
I thought you might like this. Mr Weasley recommended it to me – Ron’s dad. You’ve proved yourself pretty good with fixing things already, and maybe now you can put your talents to better use.
Merry Christmas
- HP
Draco read it through, then flushed a furious pink. Maybe now you can put your talents to better use! Stupid bastard, he had no idea, and he was just taunting Draco about what he’d done...
Draco looked at the note again.
Mr Weasley recommended it to me. Potter must have asked him for a book on magical mechanics. He could have just asked his bookworm friend, but he’d asked someone who he thought would have specific knowledge on what Draco liked. He’d made an effort.
Draco smiled to himself, and settled in to the best armchair by the fire. Time to see if Weasley had made a good choice.
When dinnertime came, Draco was still reading.
