Written for adventdrabbles prompt #17: Candy Canes
Harry opened the brightly wrapped Christmas package. He had a sneaking suspicion that the gift came from Fred and George, and after reading the attached card, he was sure of it.
The magic Candy Canes from The One Footers of Connemara' are handcrafted with a powerful love potion. These special candy canes are created only one day every three years. Those who partake of this magical treat will fall madly in love with the first person they see. Share it with the one you love.
Harry laughed out loud.
"What's so funny?" Hermione asked.
Harry passed her the card. "Read this. It's too funny."
Hermione read the note, a frown creasing her brow. "I don't think this is a joke, Harry. I've heard of The One Footers. They're called that because none of them ever grow over one foot tall and they have special magical powers. I'd be very careful about eating the candy cane. Make sure Ginny is with you when you do."
Harry snickered. "Yeah, sure, I'll be real careful."
Hermione shook her head. "Bloody hard-headed, prat," she mumbled to herself.
Harry shoved the candy cane in a drawer and walked away giggling like a fool.

Later that evening, Harry was sitting by the window watching the snowfall. He suddenly remembered his special candy cane. He went over to the drawer and grabbed his treat. Harry read the card once more and laughed again at the ridiculousness of the whole idea.
Harry removed the wrapping from his candy cane and stuck the curved end of it in his mouth, revelling in the delicious sweetness, combined with something that Harry could not identify. A warm fuzzy feeling engulfed him just as a knock sounded at his door.
Harry took one more lick before opening the door. He gaped in awe at the person standing on the other side. Finally, Harry had found the love of his life.
