Lowest common denominator
“Well, at least we act like human beings!” Potter’s balled fists were on his hips; chin jutting in righteous indignation at the Slytherins before him. “You. Were. Cheating!”
Draco knew his smirk would get the reaction he wanted out of Potter; he was rewarded by a snarl that from other people might be accompanied by a punch. “Potter, when will you learn?” he heaved a world-weary sigh. “Slytherins are gods and don’t cheat. We just understand the rules better than Gryffindors do.”
“Piss off, you git.”
“And Gryffindors always have to reduce things to the lowest common denominator, don’t they?”

“You were cheating.” Harry sucked on a perfect toe before working his way up to nibble on Draco’s malleolus. “We would have won if you hadn’t.” He ran a finger along the arch of Draco’s foot and was rewarded by the expected ticklish reaction.
“Well, if you’re a good boy I’ll make it up to you.” He reached down and stroked at Harry’s dark messy hair before tugging at it gently. Harry took the hint and crawled up his body, stopping occasionally to nip and lick.
“Can I shag you?”
Draco chuckled. “Like I said before, Potter. Lowest common denominator.”
