A/N: I wanted to write more but I am busy with internship at the moment. This may be out of season but at the moment I just want to share it...

Christmas came and Ron and Neville left the school for the holiday, leaving Draco and Harry at breakfast playing chess without two of their friends. Luckily Luna cancelled leaving for Christmas because her father the founder and sole writer of the Quibbler magazine had went on one of his adventures looking for obscure animals that he wrote about in his magazine, which often became the butt of a joke in the literary world due to how nonsensical his theories were.

She sat together with them and giggled when they came to another standstill. Tired, Draco rubbed his face, "Alright, can we call this as time up? I know you can go on staring at the board to the end of time but my human eyes have their limits,"

Harry reluctantly nodded, "Okay," He yawned before looking at his friends, "So…what's next?"

Luna smiled, "Let's go to the library,"

Draco frowned, "You haven't finished your homework?"

She shook her head, "No, I've done mine but I wanted to do some research on what's attacking the students,"

The boys looked at each other and nodded, Draco stretching his spine, "Well, it's not like we got anything better to do," The group cleared the table and gathered their stationeries and some bits of parchments to write down whatever it was that they will find. As the three make their way to the library from the Great Hall, Harry's sharp eyes found something strange along the way. He tilted his head and almost came off as he came to stop to study them.

Draco stopped with Luna to look at him, "What is it, Harry?"

Harry pointed a bony fingertip to the windowsills, "The spiders are acting strange,"

Draco blinked, "That's weird," True to Harry's word, different spiders that would usually either ignore each other or eat each other seemed to be scrambling over each other to the tiny opening of the window. Luna scratched her chin, "It's like they are running away from something,"

Draco looked at her before looking around, "But there's nothing around here!"

Luna looked at him with her peculiar eyes, "Well, maybe they can feel its presence somewhere inside the castle. Doesn't mean it has to be nearby," Deciding to write the strange behaviours down in her notebook which Harry had decided to give her when he found her large stacks of bits and pieces of parchment in a tiny box full of random information and sketches, Luna continued on her way, "Anyway, will any of you go to Prof Lockhart's duelling club?"

Draco rolled his eyes, "Him? I'll bet a galleon that he will be more of a show pony than actually doing anything to contribute to the club," They laughed at his remark since it was an honest remark.

The next day Harry decided to use the special key given to him by Jack, dragging Draco and Luna with him as he decided to experiment with in on one of the empty classroom's door. Draco rubbed his eyes since it was very late and Harry had decided to drag Luna and him out for a midnight adventure, yawning wide, "Can't we do this tomorrow?"

Harry shook his head, almost shaking or rattling with excitement, "It has to be tonight!"

Luna stared at the broom closet that he opened with the strange black iron key he has been wearing around his neck, charmed to never fell off his person, "Are you taking us to your world?"

Harry snapped his fingers, "Something like that!" With that he grabbed both of his friends and pulled them through the darkness of the closet. Draco was screaming, "It wasn't like this with your dad!" But Harry only replies to his friend's frantic screams with maniacal laughter so much like the Pumpkin King.

The three of them then fall through the fall scented air and into a thick blanket of autumn leaves that break the worse of their fall. Draco sat up and shook his head, "That was NOT how your dad take us around to Halloween Town!"

Harry grabbed his cackling head and placed it back onto his neck, "That's because he took us in between realms at ground level! In case you have forgotten, we are quite high up by the Ravenclaws Tower!"

Draco grumbled, "If you know that why didn't you use the damn key at ground level?!"

Luna groaned as she sat up with an answer, "But where's the fun in that?"

Harry rolled his eyes, "Anyway, let's go! We are running late!"

Draco stumbled to his feet and pulled Luna along, "Just where are we going anyway and what is it with the rush?" He yelped when instead of answering, Harry pulled him along, "This way!"

He took them through the skeleton trees, bare from lack of leaves that somehow grew rapidly and fall just as soon. Luna froze at the sound of a werewolf's howl and Harry reassured her, "Don't worry. They won't hurt you as long as you are with me,"

Draco shivered, "That's reassuring to know,"

Luna nodded but her doe eyes wide as she keep glancing suspiciously at gnarly roots and clawed branches. Soon, Harry squealed with excitement, "We are here!"

The three were standing in a clearing of a ring of suspicious trees with strange decorations that suggested doors by the protruding ornaments signifying a doorknob. Draco wowed at the tall trees, "Where are we?"

Luna poked at the 'doors', "Are these…doors? Why are they on a tree?"

Harry gestured at them, "Come over here! This is the one!"

Draco and Luna looked at his tree and tilt their head, both thinking, "Christmas?"

As they collected before the Christmas Door, Harry pulled the 'door' open and suddenly wintry air lifted them and swallowed them into the darkness of the open 'door'. Draco panicked, "I am so NOT coming along for any more of your adventures, SKELLINGTON!"

Their landing were a lot softer and far colder than the previous one. Luna sat up from a Luna shaped hole and shivered, "Oooh, snow? Where are we now?" She asked as she took out her wand and cast a warming charm on her person.

Draco sat up from his hole and shivered, "This is the worst adventure ever!"

Harry sat up, cast a warming charm on Draco who sighed a begrudging thanks before running ahead, calling his dumbfounded friends although Luna simply looked as dreamy as ever, "Come on! This is a night all children dreamed of but could never experience!"

Draco scowled, "Now what…is that pie I'm smelling?"

Luna sniffed the cold air and was warmed inside, "Aah…hot chocolate!"

Harry cheered, "Welcome to Christmas Town!" As his friends gaping jaws, he giggled, "And we are going to get a ride from Santa's sledge!"

Luna and Draco took a whole new look at the surrounding which they suddenly realised all hinting at the winter festivities. A giant Christmas tree in the middle of a skating rink, a carousel of carved candy unicorns, snowmen and candy canes of the red and white variety surrounded them. Gingerbread man decorated the building with white snow that looked like snow white frosting, the smell of fresh bake goods drifted from a bakery window and hot chocolate mixed with it. A large building with shadows of the tiny people that littered the place working hard at making what seems to be shadows of toys greeted them as they went deeper in, the blinking colourful lights seemed to make the whole place even more surreal.

As they blindly follow Harry who simply guide them while greeting the tiny people with pointed ears, Draco broke out of his daze, "Harry…are those…elves…like as in…Santa's elves?"

Luna shook her daze away as if waking up, "Is that factory there Santa's workshop?"

Harry looked at them, "Yes to both! And what do you know, we are in time to join Sandy Claws on his yearly world tour for gifts giving!"
