a/n: i have part 2 made in my mind already. do we want more of them?

[wanderingmind867]

I've got a new idea that I'm very proud of! It's an idea for either a tv show or a series of TV Movies released every Christmas. It's about the goings on at a bar/restaurant/lounge every Christmas. I came up with this prompt all on my own after listening to a lot of Christmas music. I did use AI to bounce my ideas off of it, however. Whether it's a TV series or merely a series of TV Movies released every new Christmas season, one thing is clear: the show is only ever set during winter/christmas.

The Bar where the show is set is like a mix of a rustic old ski lodge and of an old cosmopolitan cocktail lounge from the 1940s. It's got a very old timey feel, at any rate.

This idea could be viewed as similar to shows like The Love Boat. An anthology series, but with a few characters connecting all the stories to each other. On the Love Boat, the crew of the ship were the characters who tied everything together. Here, it's the bar's staff who tie all the stories together. At least one staff member shows up during each of the 3-4 stories told in one episode.

Since I just brought them up, let's discuss the bar's staff:

First, there's the bar's owner (I don't have a name for him yet). He's an old man who always seems to know just what to do to boost his patrons spirits during the holiday season. He's also got a bit of an aura of mystery to him, mostly because it's implied he has some sort of history with Santa. Whether they be Best Friends, Distant Relatives or something in between, it's clear he's got some sort of connection to Santa and the North Pole.

I want him to be like Ricardo Montalban on Fantasy Island, this older man with an aura of mystery surrounding him. Personally, I like conclusive answers though. So I'll probably address the mystery at some point (after a season or two, or during the third or fourth special). I'm leaning towards the relatives ideas, personally. I think it's a clever idea for how they might know each other.

Also at the bar is a somewhat washed up old lounge singer (don't have a name for him yet either). 70-75 years old at the beginning of our series, he's been working for this bar since sometime in the late 90s (let's say he joined the staff around 1996 or so). He always wanted to make it big and be a successor to his idols Frank Sinatra, Tony Bennett, Dean Martin, etc. But sadly, this never quite worked out as planned. He was sometimes able to book some small gigs, but he could never afford to play any big venues.

At some point in his 30s, he falls into a deep depression because of this. For almost 9 years, he wouldn't perform his music anymore. It's only because he happened to stop in at this bar for his 46th birthday that he's performing again. He fell in love with the atmosphere at the bar and with the feelings of love and camaraderie displayed there. He loved it so much he asked if he could perform at the bar, acting as a form of In-house entertainment. The bar's owner said he liked the idea a lot, and he's been working here ever since. In fact, his 30th anniversary of working for the bar is slowly approaching.

Knickers - Part 02 - Red Knickers ❤

Hermione stares at the ceiling and smiles.

She feels rather hot and flustered

Being Head Girl meant she had her own room and tonight she was grateful for just that.

Slipping her hand inside the waistband of her night shorts she touches herself to the mental image of a handsome platinum blonde.

Truth be told, the fact that he saw her knickers made her wet, it excited her and she had plans to keep the ball rolling.

Slytherin green, done!

Gryffindor red, coming right up!

She thanked Merlin for shaving her bits and mowing the law so to speak, despite the lack of sexual activity she still kept herself smooth as baby's backside and by the looks of it, it paid off.

Draco played with his wand, orange sparks flew off the end and hit Theo square in the face.

T : "Hey! Watch it."

D : "Sorry, mate."

T : "You've been acting fucking weird all day."

T : "Are you fucking someone new?"

Draco wished he was fucking the witch he couldn't stop thinking about.

God damn those creamy smooth thighs, he would give his inheritance to have them wrapped around his waist.

What he wouldn't give to pound into her like a fucking jack hammer.

T : "Draco?"

T : "Malfoy?"

Would he never be able to finish a bloody daydream? He planned on getting rough with their darling Head Girl.

Something deep within told him that she would love every filthy fucking second of it.

D : "Hmm...will you fuckers stop bugging me."

T : "Calm your tits, mate, you want to play a game of chess?"

D : "Nah, I'm going to sleep."

Sleep didnt come easy, a certain Gryffindor princess kept invading his thoughts.

Hermione felt great, true to her word she fished out the red silk thong she bought last Christmas.

It was an impulsive buy, you know, just in case a gentleman decided to have his wicked way with her.

Gentleman?

How bloody ironic, she was wearing it to entice the ultimate Slytherin prat, a gorgeous extremely fuckable prat.

Hermione wondered if he was packing and whether the rumours were true?

Draco shoved Theo jovially and they walk into the Great Hall in high spirits.

Carefully, Draco takes the same seat as the day before and braves a look towards the Gryffindor table.

Fuck, she was staring at him.

A smirk greets him, she was laughing at him or was she waiting for him?

Why else would she plonk herself in the same place where he got ample view of her twat.

Granger stares at him unashamed and bold, fuck, that itself was enough to get him hard.

Hermione cocks her head to the side, bites her lip and subtly points downwards.

Draco raises a brow in question.

D : "What the bloody fuck is she doing?"

T : "You say something, mate?"

D : "Yeah, umm, this toast is fucking fantastic."

T : "Er...yeah sure, toast."

Blaise slides into the seat next to Theo, a sloppy grin adornes his face.

T : "Ah, good morning, Blaise and where pray tell have you been?"

B : "Encouraging unity among the houses."

Draco and Blaise high five.

T : "Who the fuck?"

B : "A gentleman never tells, Nott."

T : "Well, you need a fucking shower, you smell like Goyles armpit."

Ginny engages Hermione in conversation.

Draco coughs loudly and purposely drops his quill.

B : "Let me get that...."

D : "Don't you fucking dare."

B : "Ookaaay....."

Draco bends to retrieve the quill and there it was, Hermione Grangers silk covered cunt.

Has he ever seen anything so glorious? Doubtful.

Salazar, he couldn't afford to get this hard.

Was that a bloody lion on the front?

Fuck, she was hot.

Her skin looked so fucking delectable, when the time came, he was going to devour her whole.

His cock screams bloody murder, definitely need to wank before class.

Draco emerges and Theo and Blaise stare at him oddly

T : "Did you take a bloody nap down there?"

B : "You are behaving rather strangely, even by your standards."

D : "Fuck off."

T : "Come on, let's get to class."

Hermione adjusts her skirt and catches Draco's eyes rove over her hungrily.

She pushes her tits out, winks and makes her way to class.

B : "You coming, Drake?"

D : "Go on gents, need to visit the little boys room, I'll catch up with you."

Draco rounds the corner intent on getting himself off to the image of Granger bouncing on his cock but instead he makes the turn and crashes right into her.

H : "What the fuck, Malfoy?"

What the fuck indeed.

A petrified 1st year takes the opportunity and scurries away like a frightened mouse.

Draco does a quick look around, grabs Hermione's wrist and drags her into an empty classroom.

H : "What are you...."

D : "Ssshhhh...."

He traces her bottom lip with the pad of his thumb and an involuntary moan escapes her ruby red lips.

Kiss her, fool. She's begging for it.

Draco brings his face close to Hermione's and rasps.

D : "I enjoyed the show."

Hermione moves back and eyes the faint outline of his bulge through the bulky robes and grins.

H : "I can tell."

She closer the gap between them and cups his package over the material, her fingers tease his stiffened shaft.

Draco throws his head back and groans.

D : "Fuck..."

In a sugary sweet voice, Hermione muses.

H : "I'm sorry, Malfoy, did I do something wrong?"

Lost to pleasure, Draco struggles to string words together.

D : "N..n..no..."

Malfoy feels larger than average and Hermione feels a sudden wetness between her thighs, it's been awhile since she's had sex.

Hermione starts to stroke him, slowly at first but when her movements turn urgent Draco grabs her wrist and pushes her back.

D : "What the fuck are you playing at, Granger?"

H : "I didn't start this, Malfoy."

D : "Well, I didnt plan on seeing your knickers, maybe you should keep your legs together and not lure unsuspecting wizards into forbidden fantasies."

H : "You can always choose not to look."

D : "Fuck that, I look because it's so damn gorgeous and I wont lie, it's been a rather kinky fantasy of mine."

H : "To see me in my knickers or fuck me?"

Draco swallows hard, who was this woman? Who ever it was, he liked her, clearly Granger was possessed by someone else.

D : "Both, I want to spread you out and...."

Hermione cuts him off.

H : "We have class, Malfoy, we mustn't be tardy."

Her eyes linger on his erection.

H : "I trust you can finish yourself off."

D : "You can finish me off."

H : "I don't think so, I'm not in a mood anymore, besides, I'm late for class."

D : "Don't be a bloody bitch."

H : "Well, you shouldn't have stopped me earlier, I wanted to deep throat and suck you off."

His knees almost give out.

Now she tells him, well done, you fucking idiot.

His cock was ready to take off, he palms it and in full view of her starts to unzip.

Hermione reluctantly turns to leave, it would work well in her favour to keep him at bay.

D : "Same time tomorrow?"

Hermione smiles mischievously.

H : "Definitely, the lucky colour is yellow."

D : "Argh, yellow? You do take this house unity thing seriously.

H : "Have a good wank, Malfoy."

Draco takes his cock out, wraps his long fingers around the impressive girth and starts to work it.

Hermione stares at it and licks her suddenly dry lips, definitely larger than average.

Her reaction to seeing his dick amuses him.

D : "See something you like?"

Hermione yawns pointedly.

H : "Nothing I haven't seen before."

Liar liar pants on fire, like the rest of him, his cock was perfection.

D : "Fuck off, Granger, unless you want to stay and help me."

H : "Maybe some other time, toodles."

D : "Teasing cunt...argh...fuck...yes."

A bunch of months ago now, I came up with an idea I'm really proud of now. And since it was Christmas related, let's bring it back for December:

It's an idea for either a tv show or a series of TV Movies released every Christmas. It's about the goings on at a bar/restaurant/lounge every Christmas. I came up with this prompt all on my own after listening to a lot of Christmas music. I did use AI to bounce my ideas off of it, however.

This idea could be viewed as similar to shows like The Love Boat. An anthology series, but with a few characters connecting all the stories to each other. And all the stories would tend to be heartfelt in some way. Although some of the stories would be comedic too. On the Love Boat, the crew of the ship were the characters who tied everything together. Here, it's the bar's staff who tie all the stories together. At least one staff member shows up during each of the 3-4 stories told in one episode.

In fact, his 30th anniversary of working for the bar is slowly approaching.

I have still a lot more to say, so the rest is under the cut:

There's also the bartender, a 56 year old woman named Amanda Snow. Twelve years ago, her and her husband came to the small town where this bar is located for their honeymoon. While they were here, she learned that her husband had actually been cheating on her for the last 3 years of their marriage. When she confronts him, he gets mad and tells her he's leaving without her. He takes storms off and goes to book a new plane ticket back home.

Meanwhile, Amanda ends up stopping in the bar to clear her head from the fight. While there, she meets the people there and falls in love with its charming environment. She asks if she can help by taking orders or busing tables or something (Amanda's always been a lady who likes helping others).

Although the owner says it's fine for tonight, he's impressed by her kind heart and somewhat matronly spirit. He's so impressed he offers her a job, in fact. Amanda's hesitant to accept at first, if course. But after sleeping on it and realizing that her husband offers nothing of value to her anymore (her kids are all grown up, and her husband has been cheating on her for the last three year), she decides to say Screw It! She tells her husband she's not going back home with him, and that she's planning to get a job as a bartender here.

Since that fateful day, she's worked for the bar. She's never bothered to look back for her husband. She still keeps in touch with her kids, of course. In fact, what made her such a good mother is also what makes her such a good bartender: she's very warm-hearted, filled with a tenacious spirit and love for what she does. She's so good that the bar's owner views her as his second-in-command at this point. She's just got a way about interacting with people.

Finally, there's the bar's chefs and wait staff. Only the head chef and two of the waiters serve as main characters. They round out our cast of six here. Although there's definitely more chefs at the bar (and probably a few more waiters), I think it's best not to have too many main characters. Maybe there'll be one or two patrons who we see in nearly every episode, but that's it.

The Head Chef is Bo Jacobson. Bo is a stoic and gruff man who often seems intimidating at first glance. But once you get to know him, you realize that he's actually a very kindhearted soul. He's a great chef, very skilled at what he does. He's head chef at the bar because he's old friends of the owner. I haven't quite figured out how their friendship began yet, but it started long ago when they were both much younger men.

There are lots of chefs under Bo (no bar could survive with one chef) but Bo is the only one of them to be a main character. Maybe occasionally we'll see a glimpse of the other chefs, but none are as important as Bo. Bo's the head chef. He's been head chef pretty much ever since it first opened, and he's very good friends with the owner. So he's got a personal connection to the place.

Then we have the two waiters. First there's Jessica. Jessica is 22 years old, and she's a very energetic girl. She's very personable, and she loves people. She loves a lot of things, honestly. She's a very optimistic person. Jessica started working here because she needed a part time job during her college years, but now she's working here full time.

Jessica has a dream. One day Jessica wants to open her own restaurant. Well, that is if she can't take over this place. If the current owner ever retires, Jessica dreams of taking over the place. She'd get to be around people, caring for them and serving them all that they need. She dreams of that type of thing. She'd just love to be able to care for other people for a job. To her, that's just the ideal world. To her, that would just be the perfect life.

Finally, there's our second waiter (I haven't committed to a name yet. Maybe Damien)? Our second waiter is kind of the exact opposite of Jessica. Whereas Jessica is incredibly extroverted and fond of being around people, he's more fond of sitting near the fire with a good book. He also loves the bar, but for different reasons than Jessica. While Jessica loves it because it lets her work around people, he likes it because the place is small and quiet and all the customers are like family to him at this point. While he still hates being around people because it's so stressful sometimes, he enjoys the job because the patrons are usually always all familiar and friendly to him.

This is how he gets involved in some of the different anthology stories. Whenever a new customer shows up, he gets really stressed out. Sometimes he'll end up retreating into himself, which leads to the customers inquiring as to if he's okay. And the answer there is that he's probably fine, he's just incredibly shy.

Him and Jessica sort of have that Odd Couple/Opposites Attract dynamic. Although they're both so very different from each other, they also both have become friends with each other. They're both been working for the place for roughly the same amount of time as each other, so I suppose it's only natural that they've become some close to each other.

Just like with Bo and the Chefs from earlier, I think it's safe to assume that there's at least one or two other waiters at this bar. But I can't run myself ragged focusing on too many characters. So only Jessica and Our second waiter (I'm still leaning towards Damien for a name) will be main characters. Maybe occasionally we'll focus on one of the other waiters for a storyline or two.
