Christmas. The childhood that Draco remembered, Christmas had never been a part of it. It was just a day like any other day. No, he took that back. Christmas was worse. It brought out the demons in his parents, made tempers higher and the beatings longer and more extreme.
When he was in the foster care system, Christmas was a little more calmer depending on the home he was in. He could remember trees being decorated at times, small gifts a time or two of items needed. When he was living on the streets, he didn't even recognize the day.
It wasn't until he got Emi back with him that he started trying for a normal type of life. Their first Christmas together they had a Charlie Brown tree and exchanged gifts they had both stolen. Then his ex came into the picture, there were jobs and a house. Life was sane and normal for a bit and they had some okay Christmases.
This Christmas was the second one for he and Emi in Rinth. This Christmas he was sharing it with Emi and the circus family he had come to know and love. Earlier he had spoken with Emi and given her the gift he had gotten her. After the two of them had done their tiny celebration, he had gone off to find the beer and food. He flirted with a few of the women and even danced. Draco even played with fire for the others, and some even got hit with a few fire balls but all in good fun. He even pulled out his old guitar and played with a few of the others singing christmas songs.
It was a good day. A happy day. A day that made him grateful that he and his sister had found this place and made the circus their home. These members, these people that were odd and strange were more so a family than his real family had been. He and Emi thrived here and he hoped that it would continue to be a place safe for them.
As the day moved on, the night settled in, the drunker he became and when it was all said and done for he would most likely be found sprawled out somewhere passed out from all the alcohol he had consumed.
