What a lovely fic! I really enjoyed the peaceful, bitter sweet feel of it, and the dialogue between Harry and Draco was just hilarious at times. Horatio and Declan indeed. ;)

Just as Draco walked into the store from the back room, Potter walked in the front. Some would call it kismet; Draco called it shite luck.

Draco cocked an eyebrow while looking in the trolley. Most of the items looked appropriate; the milk, eggs, bread, toilet tissue and crackers were all things he'd utilise. The tampons, however, would require an explanation should Potter notice them.

Potter's gaze went to his trolley. "Married, then?"
"Why would you make that asinine assumption?"
"The, err, well, um, see, it's the, well, it's those," Potter stammered and blushed as he pointed out the tampons.

"You're up," he said lamely. It wasn't what he'd meant to say. He'd meant to say, 'I'm sorry' or perhaps 'look, give me another chance'.
"Brilliant deduction, glad you stopped by to inform me of this development. Had you not told me, I shudder to conceive of what could possibly have happened."

Well done!

Thank you very much!

Those were my favourite sections, actually. I tried to think of the most ridiculous thing that a woman could have in her cart when Draco went to grab it and the only thing that sprang to mind were the tampons.

Draco, in my head, is quite the snarky git... so I'm glad that I had you chuckling with the exchanges, especially!
