Notes: This was sooo fun to draw! How Oliver was able to convince Percy to go to a club with him of all places, well, I'm sure they were able to settle on a good bargain. ;P I love how fancy (and handsome) these two lads are. Hope you do too. Cheers, and enjoy!
Summary: With a fresh start ahead of them, Oliver and Percy break the tradition of attending the usual New Year's eve parties and spend their night dancing together at a Muggle club instead. They're still young. Life is short. And they both realise some things, such as: How they've fancied the hell out of each other for years. How they should have done this sooner. That they're never leaving each other again, and that they really needed to find a place away from prying eyes so they can make up for lost time.

Title: I Gave My Love
Author/Artist: ???
Pairing(s):Harry/Draco, Ron/Hermione, assorted minor.
Prompt: Prompt # 40, 2019: "Holiday-themed courtship in 12 days…either traditional or unconventional. (Go crazy and have fun!)"
Word Count: ~40K
Rating: NC-17
Contains: Gifting, merriment, Ron’s sage advice and a great lot of festive seasonal fluff. No ‘top’/’bottom’ specified.
Disclaimer: Harry Potter characters are the property of J.K. Rowling and Bloomsbury/Scholastic. No profit is being made, and no copyright infringement is intended.
Notes: The shape of this fic turned out to resemble a certain red-suited, white-bearded, iconic gift-bearing fellow, by starting off narrow at the beginning and ending up a bit pointy, but being all jelly belly and bulgy in the middle. I beg you bear with it through to the end: all roads lead to a happy home herein. My eternal gratitude to the Mods, especially for their continued patience and very generous multiple extensions. My heartfelt thanks to my betas, who are brilliant like the stars above. I did fiddle and stitch after, so any remaining errors are mine, to be sure.
Summary: Mysterious 'presents' coming Owl Post, Ron wigging out daily, and Draco being all sorts of Slytherin (or just even more himself, really); what's the story with this Twelve Days Rite anyway? All this and more Harry ponders, as he and Malfoy wend their days through the exacting grind of updating the Magical Games Standards Manual before year's end and everyone else participates in a mad orgy of Twelve Days Gifting.
