Dec 03, Harry Potter: Hermione Granger, Lucius Malfoy
Title: Save A Horse Thestral, Ride a Malfoy
Rating: PG13, if only for the implications of the title.
Someone - not Severus, but someone with a sense of the romantic - had thought that the best start to the Hogwarts Christmas Party would be to have the guests taken up to the castle in a sleigh.
The trifling difficulty of the inadequacy of the snow was overcome by the application of magic, which had also added reindeer horns to the thestrals. They looked a little odd, perched in mid-air (for those who hadn't seen death) but apparently it was the thought that counted.
The serious difficulty of the arrival of Hermione Granger and Lucius Malfoy coinciding with each other to the second was less easy to deal with, at least in the minds of the minions dealing with the seating arrangements.
"You can't put her with him," one said.
"You can't put him with her," the other corrected.
Lucius looked at Hermione, and Hermione looked at Lucius, and they both looked at the carriage, which had blankets and warming charms, and the promise of a swift journey to the castle, and hot toddies at the end of it...
