Summary: Draco meets his secret admirer for a dinner date.
Meet me for dinner tonight at La Maison, 8:00pm.
~ your Secret Admirer
Draco's pulse hammered with excitement. After a week of receiving notes and gifts from an anonymous person, he would finally get to meet him. Him? Draco hoped it was a man, although he wouldn't pass up an opportunity for a lively flirtation with a woman. He wouldn't be going home with a woman, however.
Draco's rational mind insisted he could be making a mistake. What if someone was setting him up for an elaborate prank? It was difficult to imagine such a scenario, considering how thoughtful and expensive the gifts had been. His lonely heart believed that this would be a fun and romantic encounter, and Draco could almost hear his Mum saying, 'Go where your heart takes you.' She had always been fond of telling Draco that, from the time he had told her he wanted to study in France after Hogwarts to the day he had admitted to her that he was gay. Draco missed his Mum, and following her advice made it seem as if she was still alive and providing a steadying influence in his life.

Draco strode into La Maison five minutes early. The Maitre d' greeted him by name and led him to a cozy table near the rear of the restaurant. Draco's steps faltered when he saw that Harry Potter was already seated at the table. Taking the chair across from Potter, Draco said the first thing that came to mind. "You're my secret admirer?"
Potter chuckled. "Are you surprised?"
"I am, indeed," admitted Draco. "However," he added, placing his serviette on his lap, "I trust you will be on your best behavior and make it a pleasant surprise."
Potter laughed at that. "Does that mean I'm not allowed to steal a goodnight kiss?" he teased.
Draco favored him with a flirtatious smile. "Why bother stealing a kiss when you can simply ask for one?"
