omg, honey, this was adorable!
i love harry's complete inability to remember anything about magical animals, unless it reminds him of draco.
you had me on pins and needles wondering what the hell happened to bollux up their relationship so quickly, and when we finally find out it makes sense and yet is so stupid, in that believeable "harry and draco can be so stupid because we all know their flaws" way.
and the porlock in the straw was hilarious, even though i don't know what one is, either!

thanks for a delightful read!

Oh, thanks so much for making time to even read this, with all the fest fics that have been posted.

Glad you liked it! :D

I found the Porlock on the HP Lexicon. It's from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them, which was a first year text. The Porlock lives in straw near stables, is shy around humans, and guards horses. The funny thing is, I even found a map on the lexicon showing which magical creatures mentioned in the books actually live in the US, and the Porlock isn't one of them. But I figured Draco wouldn't necessarily remember that. Haha.

The Re'em is an American magical creature, though. I wanted to make reference to Bigfoot, because I loved that the Bigfoot is a Yeti, just with bigger feet, and I love that the Yeti/Bigfoot is a big problem with all the Muggle sightings. But I didn't think the ranch was necessarily in the Pacific Northwest.

I obviously spent way too much time reading on the lexicon today. But I wanted to have some legit magical creatures for the ranch! LOL

Hehe, silly boys, think of all the fun they could have been getting up to during those three months. I'm glad they kissed and made up. ;)

I can totally picture Draco in a naughty cowboy outfit. Yum.

[scrtkpr]

Oh, thanks for reading! :)

I can't picture Draco in a cowboy outfit without remembering owens_mom's Just Tell Her You're a Fairy, Harry. Hee.

Don't go tempting me to re-read fic with images of cowboy!Draco. I'm drowning in holiday fic already (and loving it!).

[scrtkpr]

Heh. Yeah, I got most of the magical creatures from Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them (or so the Lexicon would lead me to believe), and it was a first year text.

And thank you! So glad you liked it! :D

Aw! I love flangst. :D :D :D

Hermione didn’t look entirely convinced but apparently couldn’t pass up the opportunity to explain something.

Haha!

He was wearing boots and a cowboy hat. He looked stupid.

Mmmhmmm, sure he did. :P

That was a very thoughtful gift, mate. ;)

[scrtkpr]

Oh, wow, I about fell over when I saw a comment from you! LOL

I'm so glad you liked it, and thank you for taking the time to read and comment this month, when we're all drowning in holiday gift fic!
