"Why must we leave the comforts of our warm home on Christmas Eve?" Severus asked.
"I thought it would be romantic, but if you really don't want to go…" Harry pouted.
"Come along, Harry. We don't want to keep the sleigh driver waiting," Severus acquiesced at the sight of Harry's stuck out bottom lip.
"It will be brilliant," Harry beamed.
The sleigh, pulled by six black horses, awaited them in the front yard. A gentle snow began to fall, making everything sparkle like fairy dust in the light of the full moon.
Harry cuddled close to Severus under the wool blanket as the horses pranced down the lane.
"See, isn't this romantic?" Harry asked, as sleigh bells jingled softly with the motion of the sleigh.
"Hmm, it is acceptable, I suppose," Severus replied.
A whooshing sound suddenly caught everyone's attention and a blast of cold air whipped passed Harry and Severus' heads.
"Bloody hell, what was that?" Harry asked as he looked up the lane.
"I believe that was Santa Claus," Severus drawled.
"Hey, slowpokes," a jolly old elf shouted from his airborne sleigh, "can't you move that thing any faster? You should get some flying reindeer. And you call yourselves wizards!"
"Blimey," Harry groaned, "I thought he was just a myth."
"Unfortunately, no," Severus grumbled. "I met him once when I was very young, and he's still an arse, or so it seems."
