lindeluren and I decided to make a drabble/fic-calendar for each other.
That means that every morning in December, we send text (or something like that) to each other with a pairing, prompt and 3 random words we have to include in the drabble.
We have set the word count to 100-600 words and have to complete the drabble the same day.

Today I got:
Harry/Remus
ginger bread
socks, horse, pixie
Ginger Bread
“Unca Harry!” Teddy called out and ran towards his Godfather.
“Teddy!” Harry beamed and picked up the little boy who was full of flour and something Harry didn't know what was.
“Ewww,” Harry exclaimed as Teddy handed him a wet lump of dough.
“Here Unca Harry. It's yummy!”
Harry put down both the little boy and the piece of dough.
“What on earth are you doing?” Harry asked Remus, who was standing by the kitchen counter.
“We're making ginger bread cookies.” Remus smiled and placed Teddy in his highchair and handed him a new piece.
“Ginger bread?” asked Harry and stopped to pick dough off his socks.
“Yes, Harry,” Remus answered. “I make ginger bread cookies every Christmas. Don't you?”
“No...” said Harry. “Like when would I've had the opportunity to make ginger bread cookies? With the Dursleys? Or at Hogwarts where house elves made all our food?”
“I see, Harry, but haven't you spent a couple of Christmases at the Burrow? I'm sure Molly must have made a ginger bread pixie or two.”
“She probably did, and I probably ate them, but I have never made one. It looks boring.”
Remus gasped and covered Teddy's ears. “I would appreciate if you didn't exclaim such negativity in front of your Godson, Harry.”
“I'm sorry,” Harry mumbled.
“And don't judge something you know nothing about.” Remus continued. “Here, try it!”
Remus handed Harry a metal thing shaped like a horse.
“What am I supposed to do with this?” Harry asked.
Remus picked up a different shaped metal thing and laid it on top of a piece of completely flat dough. He pushed it down hard and removed the metal. He lifted the little piece over to a baking sheet.
“Now it's your turn.”
Harry looked sceptical at the flat dough in front of him, but did as Remus had showed him and pretty soon the dough was full of horse-shaped holes.
“Now what?” Harry asked. “There's nothing left.”
“Oh, I have plenty of dough.” Remus grinned. “Just wait a minute and I'll prepare it for you. And we can use the left-overs from this one too.” Remus removed the batch and flattened more dough with a rolling pin.
And hour later, Teddy and Remus was sitting in the living room playing with a stuffed Hippogriff, while Harry was in the kitchen mass producing ginger bread versions of every magical creature he could think of.
