Boiling Point
Title: Boiling Point
Author: this_thorn
Challenge: Rain (#4)
Author's Notes: I realized, with some degree of dismay, that all my 100-word stories end on some sort of downswing, with a discovery that things are broken beyond repair. This, then, is my attempt at a 'happy' story - and the proof that happy HD is OOC HD.
Author's Warning: Read it slowly, or you'll get majorly lost at the end.
Boiling Point
"Trying to drown yourself, Potter?"
"What do you want, Malfoy?"
"What, no pleasantries? How gauche, even for a Gryffindor."
"Why are you here?"
"I'm just watching. Don't let me keep you from your watery suicide."
"You've been doing an awful lot of watching lately, Malfoy."
"Some of us do pay attention, Potter. Some of us think before we act."
"And you, Malfoy, are you thinking of acting?"
"Potter?"
"Harry."
"Harry."
"Yes?"
"Yes."
"And?"
"Are you thinking of acting?"
"I never do. You should know me better than that."
"I should."
"Yes. ...and?"
"I should...Harry."
"Draco?"
"Yes?"
"No more thinking."
