Draco loved the winter. As a boy at the manor, he had especially enjoyed riding a carriage through the grounds with his mother. She had always taken such pride in the gardens and their glorious flowers throughout the rest of the year, but Draco loved to see everything blanketed in snow. White, pure, and pristine, the snow never failed to remind him of her.

As an adult, he had a whole new set of reasons to love the winter. Well, really, it was only one reason - Harry.

Harry was such a kid at heart, and he brought out the child in Draco that he hadn't known was hiding. Sure, his childhood memories of winter were happy, hot chocolate and cider included. But as an only child, he hadn't spent a lot of time actually playing in the snow. Harry had changed all of that.

He was forever dragging Draco off to do one thing or another. They made snow angels, snowmen and snow forts. They had snowball fights to rival actual battle scenes. They went skating, skiing, show shoeing and tobogganing. At first, Draco was resistant, as he was with most things muggle, but Harry was persistent. Draco found, no matter what they were doing, that Harry seemed to have the time of his life, and his enthusiasm was infectious. He couldn't count the number of times they had collapsed in the snow, wet and shivering, giggling like schoolboys. The two of them were doing their very best to capture a small piece of their lost childhoods. Looking out at the freshly fallen snow, he smiled as his memories of the past five winters washed over him.

As he watched his boyfriend come down the stairs, green eyes sparkling in anticipation, Draco couldn't help thinking that there was no one else in the world he would rather be a kid with.
