"Draco, please..." Potter was pleading by the time Draco made his way out of Capsule and there was a line of hot men waiting to go inside.
He would have spent more time appreciating what he was seeing if it wasn't for the damned rain. And well, Potter.
"Listen, Potter. I don't have the patience right now to act nonchalant. I don't care that you cancelled, but it wasn't even that you cancelled. You fell asleep. Fuck you, and fuck off. I never should have agreed to that bloody dinner. How dare you--"
"I lost my case today..." Potter said softly.
"What?" Draco snapped.
"It's not an excuse but, the case we were pursuing, me and Ron, and Corner... I was having such a great day, I was looking forward to our date but we went to court, the Wizengamot claimed we didn't have enough evidence. Somehow--"
"How did you not have enough evidence? I helped Michael Corner catalogue each and every item!" Suddenly, Draco's professional reputation was at stake and the idea of being stood up for their date took the back seat.
"I know! That's what Hermione was saying too... but it looks like there's a mole. Someone sabotaged half of our findings. We can recover it, prepare better for next time but--"
"There's a chance the culprit's already fled. If he's been excused," Draco said, solemnly.
"Yeah, exactly." Potter raked a hand through his hair, and Draco shivered. The rain was cold and he was exhausted. "All that after an emergency Saturday morning hearing..." he added.
"So that's why you...fell asleep?" Yes, the idea Potter was a no show for their dinner was back on the table of topics to discuss.
"I just got drunk," Potter said, giving a dry laugh. "It's not an excuse. I'm an arse. I was so bummed out and I should have cancelled but we all just went to the put and when I got home I was so drunk, I fell asleep. It was supposed to be a nap, but-- I'm so sorry, Malfoy."
Malfoy. Not Draco. Draco tried not to notice.
"I understand if you can never forgive me but I just had to see you. Try to explain. I had a shitty day and I made your evening even worse because of it."
"Oh, shut up, Potter," Draco said, rolling his eyes. "You could have owlled this information to me."
"I know. But, I wanted to see you."
