One Last Ride

"Daddy, I want to go on the Ferris wheel," Alexa announced.

"It's too high!" Cecilia pointed out. "I want to go on the carousel."

"That's just for babies," Alexa countered.

"Tell you what, girls," Harry intervened, "I'll take Cecilia on the carousel - which is not just for babies - and Papa can take Alexa on the Ferris wheel."

Harry suppressed a grin as he watched Draco's face turn a pale shade of grey, with just a hint of green. Harry knew his husband was not fond of anything Muggle, least of all anything that lifted him more than a few feet off the ground. Riding in Muggle elevators with him was always a source of amusement for Harry.

Alexa came to his rescue. "But Daddy," she explained, "I think Papa would rather make sure Cecilia is safe on the carousel."

Harry grinned as his husband breathed a sigh of relief. "Well, if you think so, let's you and I go find that Ferris wheel."

~*~*~

At the end of the day, with the girls tucked in for the night, Harry waggled his eyebrows at Draco. "How about one last ride before we go to sleep?"

Aww, that was adorable! I loved how Alexa came to save the day. And it had the perfect ending!

Great work!

Thanks!

I'm back! Fest fics are all done, and now I can catch up on all my outstanding stuff. And oh, how I missed my Tom pictures. *swoons*

You do spoil me, hon. ♥ ♥ ♥

Edit for cookies (see, it's been too long). :)

Hahaha! Last line wins at life!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Why thank you! :o)

[enablelove.livejournal.com]

very cute

and verry naughty ;)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! Glad you liked it.

[winter-june.livejournal.com]

*laughs* So cute. I'm sure Draco is going to be far more thrilled with this other kind of ride!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I would be too! ;)

[winstonmom.livejournal.com]

Nice one!
Is this part of another story of your?

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thank you :o)

It's part of the 'daughters' universe, which consists of mainly stand-alone snippets in time. You can click the 'daughters' tag to read the rest of them, but this isn't dependent on reading the rest (though of course, I'd be happy if you did).

[winstonmom.livejournal.com]

I just finished reading them all and they are lovely. Could you tell me how old the girls are? and how did you came up with this wonderful snippets?
Thanks you for sharing them.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I imagine the girls to be about 8 and 10, too young for Hogwarts, but old enough to have developed clear personalities.

I write most often from prompts, and when I have a prompt that fits this universe, I add to it. This is not a plot-based verse, but one in which we see family life unfold. In other words, there's no storyline to adhere to for them.

I hope that answered your questions.

Thanks for taking the time to read them all and comment. :)

Aww, that was sweet! I liked Harry's last line at the end, too. *giggles*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

:D Thanks.

[idontgiveafaux.livejournal.com]

ahaha, am i slightly cruel in hoping that draco was going to be forced to ride the ferris wheel (especially as it's the only fairground ride i am afraid to go on too!?) ;)

this was great hon :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*grins*

Thanks.

face turn a pale shade of grey, with just a hint of green - OMG my husband's face turns this color when they take blood!! LOL!

Riding in Muggle elevators with him was always a source of amusement for Harry. - The mental images of all of Draco's possible reactions had me laughing for several minutes!

How about one last ride before we go to sleep? -- WOOHOO! YES!! Although, Draco better not suspect Harry was teasing him about the Ferris Wheel or Harry will be sleeping on the couch. Stationary. Absolutely no riding involved. LOL!

Thank you thank you thank you!!! What a wonderful fic!! *huggles*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Poor Draco. And shame on Harry teasing him like that.

:D I suspect he's been on the receiving end enough times that it just happens to be Harry's moment.

So glad you enjoyed it. When you gave me the carousel prompt, I just knew I had to dust off the 'daughters' verse for the occasion. :)

[enchanted-jae.livejournal.com]

Wheeeeeeeeeeee! Ha ha!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

:o)

[gator-girl-13.livejournal.com]

Too cute! I totally see Draco being a whimp when it comes to heights. He's so adorable. : )

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heights are fine, so long as he doesn't have to rely on Muggle technology to keep him safe. ;)

Thanks for reading & commenting.

[sisika.livejournal.com]

I just all your "Daughters" fics.

AWWWW!!

*Bows down to the Queen of Fluff*

[sisika.livejournal.com]

In my delgiht I forgot to put "read" in the earlier comment.

XD

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Aww ... thanks so much. I'm glad you enjoyed them.

[sassy-cissa.livejournal.com]

Very, very cute. Although Draco screaming from the top of the ferris wheel would have been amusing. :P

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

*snickers* I'm sure Harry would have found it incredibly funny. :D

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Awww.... that's just too cute! Draco, afraid of a Muggle Ferris wheel. *G* *pats him*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hey ... MUGGLES built it. And it goes up high. And he wouldn't have his broomstick to fly away on. :D

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

I wonder if you could Apparate from a ferris wheel if you needed to? I mean ... like ... if there was such a thing. *blushes*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

I imagine Draco picturing the height being too high for comfort, but not high enough to have time to Apparate out safely if it was crashing down, you know?

[alaana-fair.livejournal.com]

Hehee... good point. :-) Smart boy.

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Awww! I love Harry pretending to be oblivious and Alexa to the rescue!

"How about one last ride before we go to sleep?" I suspect it'll be Draco's favorite ride of the day!

This is such a wonderful universe!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Alexa is very protective of her Papa. *nods*

I know it would be mine! :D

Thanks ♥

Oh Harry! You're showing your Slytherin side!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heh. I love Harry's inner Slytherin. ♥
