“What are you doing here, Potter?” The last word was spit out with a typical sneer.
“Hiding, obviously. Will you please get down?”
Draco dropped beside Harry behind a giant pumpkin. “From whom?”
Harry looked around, then sighed and sat back against another pumpkin.
“Romilda Vane.”
Draco smirked. “She’s not unattractive.”
“She’s not my type.”
They sat, Harry watchful, Draco contemplative.
“What is your type, Potter?”
“… Not her….”
“More like Weasleby?”
“Ron? He’s my best friend!”
“Ah. But not because he’s male.”
“Fuck you, Malfoy.”
“Like that, would you?”
“No!”
“You hesitated.”
“I didn’t.”
“You did.” Draco laughed.
“Are you hitting on me?”
“And if I was?”
There was silence, broken only by the wind gusting through the pumpkin patch, rattling the dry leaves.
“I’d… be surprised.”
“Why? Because we hate each other?”
“For starters.”
“Sex can, and does, exist independently of… anything else, you know.”
“Mm.” Harry frowned as he looked over the moonlit path from the castle. “We shouldn’t be out here.”
“Bit late to worry about that, isn’t it?” Draco grinned. “So, what do you say?”
“About…?”
“Having a one-off, then going back to hating each other.”
Harry blinked. “Well….”
Draco smiled as he reached out.
