Harry doesn´t return home right away. Instead he choses to apparate into a park. He loves the winding pathways. This year winter has come early and the park is covered in a light blanket of snow. He is alone and wanders through the park for a while, thoughts chasing through his mind.
Draco said that he doesn't believe in Christmas in the joy of the season. But something doesn´t add up. In the years before everything went pearshaped Harry clearly remembers the Slytherin being alight with joy, it was as if the season mellowed the edges and sharp points in his face. He was for lack of a better word happy. He always received packages of sweets that he even shared with his housemates. And Harry could swear that he heard Draco hum a Christmas Carol or two back in the happier days (not that he would have ever talked to Draco about it)
Draco loved Christmas and now all of a sudden all of it is humbug? And what was with the defensive way that he was trying to hide his face. The mask did a good job of it, but his eyes, so sad and full of pain. What has happened to the Draco Harry has known?
He notices only how long he has been walking through the deserted park, when his nose can rival Rudolphs and he sneezes explosively. The lanterns are alight by now and Harry takes another look at the beauty that is spread out before his eyes.
He loves Christmas and Teddy does too. Seems like he needs to find out just what made Draco lose his faith in this wonderful season.
Maybe then some of the light can return to those sad grey eyes and Harry can admit at least to himself that he misses seeing that special light.
