Harry looked at Malfoy after his response. He was nearly stunned silence by his words.

"Sam!" Teddy screamed and let go of Harry and Malfoy's hands and ran to greet his friend.

"Thanks for saying that," Harry said. "That was sweet-"

"I read Teddy's letter to Father Christmas," Draco said. "He wished for us to be friends. I knew that before you came by tonight and told me. I just want him to be happy, and not have to worry about two adults. He should do children things-"

"Right," Harry said and turned to look in the direction Teddy had run off to. Why else would Malfoy say he missed Harry? Harry was so stupid.

"I want the same thing," Malfoy said.

"I'm sorry?" Harry said. He looked at Malfoy again whose expression had changed.

"For us to be more than just cordial. I mean, I've wanted to talk to you about something-"

"Oh, what is it?" Harry said, turning to Malfoy, giving him his full attention.

"I didn't know you were an Animagus," Malfoy said.

"Oh," Harry said, sort of disappointed by Malfoy's statement. What else could he have expected? "I still have trouble with the transformation. I'm learning. I read Sirius's journal about the matter, when he was learning. And I've been in touch with Professor McGonagall."

"What made you choose to do so?" Malfoy asked. If the creature in his dreams was in fact Potter, maybe it would shed some lights.

"Teddy," Harry answered. "In case he grows up to be a werewolf-we still don’t know if it’s a genetic condition. It's what my father and his friends did for Remus-"

"Oh, I had no idea," Malfoy answered. "I mean, I knew that Remus Lupin was a werewolf, I just didn't know the rest."

"It's really an interesting story. Maybe one day I'll tell you all about it over coffee?" Harry offered, suddenly hopeful that Malfoy would accept.

Malfoy shook his head and Harry frowned. "It certainly sounds like something that should be discussed over Firewhisky and not coffee," Malfoy replied.

Harry laughed. "Definitely Firewhisky then," he said.

"Definitely."
