ART:
• shadowycat drew Warm Christmas Magic [Minerva - Rated G]
There's powerful magic in a mug of Hot Chocolate!
• theimpossiblegl drew Good Behavior [Severus/Rosmerta - Rated G]
*ahem* On behalf of Severus Snape, I would like to announce that the only reason he is wearing this “ridiculous monstrosity of a hat” is because Rosie promised him 365 days of oral pleasure if he behaved himself on her favorite holiday.
• epithalamium drew No time like the present [Harry/Draco - PG]
You're all I knead this Christmas.
• centaury-squill drew Thelma the Thick-nosed Thestral [Hagrid - G]
Hagrid has his own unique way of celebrating Christmas.
• theimpossiblegl drew Hot for Teacher [Minerva/Severus - PG-13]
Sadly, after Severus’s first Christmas season at Hogwarts, Dumbledore cancelled all further faculty parties. Apparently, seeing a slightly tipsy Minerva transfigure her dress robes and seduce her former students had a negative effect the Headmaster’s tender sensibilities.
• lemonade8 drew Help Will Be Given [Hermione/Neville - G]
Neville gets away from it all on his lonely New Year's eve, Hermione is miserable at a formal function at Hogwarts and the hat takes steps to bring them together, since it's quite fond of Neville. She's not the sword of Gryffindor, but she's just as sharp and just what he needs.
• akatnamedeaster drew Santa's Little Helper [Severus - G]
After his unfortunate demise, Severus Snape is conscripted into the role of Santa's less than jolly alter-ego and punisher of naughty children everywhere. He loves his new job.

• digthewriter drew Escaping the Christmas Party [Harry/Draco - PG-13]
Harry and Draco escape their holiday party for some alone time.
• 8c drew Skate Date [Albus Severus/Scorpius - G]
Scorpius is determined to succeed at what Albus calls "classic muggle dating."
• akatnamedeaster drew Dashing Through the Snow [Sirius, Buckbeak - G]
Two old friends meet up for a Christmas Eve joyride.
• dustmouth drew Snowfall [Harry/Draco - G]
Harry, Draco, and friends take a walk in rather a lot of snow. (Or the one where this sweaty Australian indulges in the snow fantasy)
• mywitch drew Feliz Navidad! [Severus/Hermione - G]
Clearly, 25 years in Puerto Peñasco will relax anyone.
• sugareey drew Cold Kiss [Harry/Draco - PG-13]
So many thoughts are running through his mind as he feels his heart beating faster and faster. He knows it's now or never, but it doesn't make him any less terrified. Draco stops walking and stares at the snow on the ground. Was he really going to do this? "Draco? What's wrong?" he hears Harry ask him gently. Exhaling a cold, shaky breath, Draco finally looks up into green eyes before pulling Harry close and kissing him on the lips.
