Summary: Harry asks Malfoy out.
Rather than sitting and stewing over his decision for several days, Harry mustered his courage and marched into Dragon Brew early the following morning. He was going to ask Malfoy out. Harry was nervous, but he was determined to rise to the challenge. He could do this. He was a trained Auror, the slayer of Dark Lords, the Boy Who Lived, and all that rot. Harry would not be afraid to ask one snarky barista out for dinner.
Harry paused just inside the door to Dragon Brew, as was his wont, taking a moment to inhale the fragrant aroma of coffee, tea, and baked goods. It continued to amaze him how calming and centering such a simple act could be.
"That will be three sickles, Potter."
Harry turned his head to see Malfoy smirking at him from behind the counter. "What?"
"I told you I was going to start charging you for inhaling," Malfoy reminded him.
"Tosser," Harry muttered as he approached the counter. He handed over his I ♥ Draco Malfoy cup and ordered a Long Black. Harry steeled his nerve when Malfoy returned with his coffee.
"Anything else, Auror Potter?"
"Yes, have dinner with me tomorrow night."
Malfoy blinked at him, clearly caught off guard. "Sorry?"
"Dinner," Harry repeated. "Tomorrow night."
"Thank you, Potter, but I already have plans for tomorrow night."
"I see," said Harry, hoping his disappointment wasn't written all over his too-warm face.
"However, if you'd like to stop by at lunch time tomorrow, I'm sure I can spare a moment to have a cup of coffee with you," Malfoy suggested. "I'll even treat you to one of my fabulous paninis."
Harry was bolstered by the offer, but he wasn't familiar with Malfoy's terminology. "That sounds...lewd," he commented.
Malfoy blinked again, then he erupted into a hearty laugh. "Oh, Potter, I had forgotten how amusing you can be."
Harry's face warmed again, but this time for a good reason. He smiled almost bashfully and said, "Okay, I'll see you tomorrow for lunch." As he turned to leave, there was a spring in his step.
"Potter?"
"Yes?"
"Are you going to pay for that coffee, or shall I summon the DMLE?"
