“Hey, Potter!”
Harry winced and stopped. He knew that he shouldn’t have left Gryffindor tower at this time of night without his invisibility cloak, but he wasn’t going to get it back from Ron until tomorrow and he really needed to get out and clear his head. It was just his luck that he had to run into Malfoy of all people.
Resigned, Harry turned around to face the Slytherin. “Go on then,” he said. “I know you’re dying to take House points.”
Surprisingly, Malfoy shook his head, his eyes roaming over Harry’s body. “I suppose you think you look hot in those penguin pyjamas,” he commented after a minute.
“Huh?” Harry glanced down at his attire. The pyjamas were dotted with tiny enchanted penguins that blinked and waved. They had been a Christmas present from Hermione and Harry hadn’t the heart not to wear them.
Malfoy was moving closer towards him, one eyebrow arched as if waiting for a response.
“What… no, I… what are you…” Harry stammered.
“I’ll let you in on a secret,” Malfoy had now invaded Harry’s personal space and was standing almost nose to nose with him. Leaning forward, he whispered into Harry’s ear, “You do.”
If anybody noticed that Harry didn’t return to Gryffindor that night or that he turned up to lessons the next day wearing a scarf then they didn’t comment.
