Title: A Quiet Forest Path

Summary: A mysterious note takes Draco deep into the forest...
Notes: This was a really fun, sweet story to write. Thank you sdkshelly for the prompt ideas and thanks to the mods for keeping us all on task!
Draco looks at the note in his hand, squinting at the directions scribbled on it. They’d taken him through a park and into a stretch of forest. The path ahead is strewn with shriveled brown and yellow leaves that shiver in the chilly October wind. After a few minutes of walking, the trees overhead open up a bit. The full moon illuminates the way ahead and he would certainly never admit it but it’s slightly comforting. He stops, glancing at the note. There are no more directions.
“Draco.”
Jumping, he whips around. Harry moves out of the shadows, laughing as Draco puts his hand over his heart.
“Merlin, Harry, you scared me to death.”
Draco scowls but still takes Harry’s hand when he reaches out. They leave the path, stumbling over roots and rocks. Draco sees an orange glow in the distance and glances at Harry. Finally, they reach a clearing; Draco’s jaw falls slack. The orange glow was that of a dozen or more carved pumpkins that sit in a large semi-circle.
“Happy Halloween.” Harry says softly, squeezing Draco’s hand.
Draco smiles and moves closer to Harry.
“And you say I’m the dramatic one.”
Harry laughs, kissing Draco’s cheek.
