It was cold in the Slytherin common room. It was the opposite in the Gryffindor common room.

Warm, cozy, with the fireplace blazing and the big, decorated tree full of presents. Barely anyone stayed for the Holidays, no Gryffindors except for you.

You just had to invite your boyfriend into your beloved common room. When Severus entered with you, it was as if the tree was enchanted because presents appeared beneath it once again.
