Holiday Drabbles
The Lj community Romancing the Wizard posted a Holiday Drabble Challenge. I decided to get in on the fun. Below are my entries so far. I'll post more as I complete them. Enjoy!
MITTENS
Severus woke late on Christmas morning. There wasn't enough money for the train fare to go home for Christmas this year so he decided to make the most of his holiday by studying. Pulling his school robes on over his nightshirt, he was surprised to discover two gifts at the foot of his bed. One was from his mother--a hand-knit, hunter-green jumper. The other box contained a pair of green and gray mittens. The card read:
Dear Severus,
I know you can't hold my hand in public, but hopefully this will be close enough. Happy Christmas.
Love,
Lily
PERFECT GIFT
Neville sat in the quiet compartment on the Hogwarts Express with Luna. Their comfortable conversation had tapered off. He was staring out the window when Luna interrupted his thoughts.
"I almost forgot your gift!" Luna dug in her bag, pulling out a package.
Neville was embarassed; he hadn't thought to get anything for her. With his round cheeks flaming, he opened it. "What is it?"
"It's a Friend Finder." Noting the confused look on his face, she explained brightly, "It points out your true friends, that way you can easily identify them."
Neville grinned. It was pointing right at Luna.
Steaming Hot Chocolate
He sat in the Three Broomsticks, watching Lily sip steaming hot chocolate. She hadn't spoken to him yet this school year. No doubt she was still mad at him for the 'O.W.L. incident' last year. The whole thing hadn't been his fault. If he could just get her to talk to him, he would be able to make her see that. With a heavy sigh, he got up to leave, pausing at the bar.
"Madam Rosemerta, could you please send another hot chocolate over there?" he asked, handing some coins to the barmaid.
"Anything to help young love," Rosemerta answered.
