Oh, pleeeeeese, Papa!" cried Cecilia.

"Yeah, Papa, please," Alexa asked shrewdly. "You know Daddy always wanted one when he was a little boy, and he was never allowed to have one. This would be the perfect gift for us to give him."

Draco could feel the wheels of manipulation churning. "And who, pray tell, would tend to this monster?"

"Well, Daddy would, of course," Alexa said, and the same time her little sister said, "Oh, me!"

Draco looked at his daughters. He was quite sure Cecilia would be in Hufflepuff. When he was a boy, the thought of his own offspring ending up in a house so ... so ... nice would have made his stomach churn in disgust, but now that he had been out of school for years, and had worked with some very intelligent and influential Puffs, he no longer held onto such prejudices. And his precious baby girl really was so very sweet that he couldn't imagine a better place for her to be.

Alexa, on the other hand, was Slytherin through and through. She let her little sister start with the begging -- he wouldn't doubt if she had planted the entire idea herself -- then she added the one thing that she knew her Papa couldn't resist. Something for Harry. Something she knew he had wanted as a little boy. She had slyly planted the image of a friendless boy locked in a cupboard, crying tears for the wish he knew would never come true.

Draco may be Slytherin too, but his family meant more to him than anything in the world. His daughters had him wrapped around their little fingers, and Harry -- well Harry owned him, heart and soul. There wasn't anything he wouldn't do for his husband. And damn it if their daughter didn't know that too. All I want for Christmas is to make my family happy, he thought.

"I'll think about it," he said. He saw a fleeting wave of relief fall over Cecilia's face, and a look of absolute triumph on Alexa's. Oh, he was truly whipped. If his father could see him now! "But one more word and the answer is no." He at least had to pretend to be thinking about it.

Come Christmas morning, both Cecilia and Alexa looked worried, because they hadn't said another word, nor had Draco. But when Draco brought a box out to have the girls give to their Daddy, they squealed with delight. Harry's squeal was added to the noise as a hyper little Golden Labrador puppy jumped out of the box and licked his face.

Draco watched his family giggling at the puppy's antics all morning long, and suddenly being 'whipped' didn't bother him in the slightest.

Oh, Draco ... *loves* ... he's so whipped. But that's okay. I love how he's all fine with his daughter ending up in Hufflepuff! :D And of course ONE of them had to be manipulative. ;)

But this completely melted my heart. The ending was perfect.

Thanks for writing and sharing!

And speaking of hot guys with dogs ...

Well, look at that! You really do have a picture for every scenario! *loves* - I am such a dog person.

I'm glad you enjoyed the fic. The ones with their daughters (half a dozen or more now, I think) are always that sort of sappy type. :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I think all the "daughters" ones are this sweet type. :)

[prettyhairs.livejournal.com]

Awww! So sweet!
Really lovely:)
*snuggles Draco*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah, he's pretty adorable in this one, isn't he?

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

How adorable! I love how Draco is wrapped around the girls' fingers, and he knows it and doesn't mind. Hee!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

He loves being a dad, and he's awesome at it! *nods*

Awww....so sweet!
*feels all warm and fuzzy on this cold winter morning*

Thanks for warming me up with the fluff! *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

You are quite welcome! :)

[who_la_hoop]

Oh bless - that is TOO cute! :) Hope you don't mind that I've friended you btw! I'm fairly new to HP fandom and I'm enjoying reading your fic :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks ♥

I don't mind. :)

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Draco is just love here! The interaction with his girls and his insight into their manipulation and personalities are perfect.

Harry owned him, heart and soul. *melts*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Glad you liked it.

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Awww! Draco is wonderful!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yes, he is. ♥

[nillaskye.livejournal.com]

Adorable! Draco's such a devoted husband and father. And, oh yeah, little Alexa is so Slytherin! *giggles*
Thanks!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! They definitely have their hands full with Alexa!

[gurliemoviegeek.livejournal.com]

With a title like Whipped, I was expecting an entirely different sort of story!

*giggles*

But this was so wonderful and warm, that I just melted all over the place. Such a lovely vision of Harry and Draco's life with their daughters...

*happy sigh*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Yeah, I figured there might be the presumption that it would be something else (heh), but it's not NC-17, so ...

Glad you enjoyed.

[starrose]

*squeal* That is so cute!! Thank you!!!!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

You are welcome, hon. Glad you liked it. Merry Christmas!

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

They are just so,.... awwww. The scene is lovely, and I share Draco's feeling that being 'whipped' by this family is, actually, like a dream that has come true.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yup, yup. It's a good thing for sure. ♥

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

*g* brilliant :) draco is so cute here and i love the fact that he knows that alexa is getting one up on him but doesn't mind. lovely :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Yeah, he'll reserve the 'I know what you're up to and you're not getting away with it' for a time when it's worth it. Meanwhile, he's letting her feel as if she's fooled him. Might as well encourage the Slytherin skills. ;)

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

ooh, i never thought of it like that! but draco had better watch out, one day she might out-slytherin him ;D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

She may very well do that ... I suspect Harry will get a big kick out of it if/when it happens. ;)

[lackofmendacity.livejournal.com]

Awwwwwww...

Forgive me, I'm incoherent from the fluffiness. ♥

This is adorable, I love how Draco knows very well he's being manipulated, yet still wants to do this for Harry. *smiles happily*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yay for fluff!

[lijahlover.livejournal.com]

That was so sweeeeeeeet! Thanks!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

With a prompt like "Christmas puppy," sweet was pretty much a given. *nods*
