Third Time Lucky (H/D, poem, G)
This month, for enchanted_jae's monthly drabble challenge of "third time's a charm", I decided to do a poem. It's definitely not my best work, but in my defence, the challenge ended 39 minutes ago (in my time zone anyway), and this was what I came up with. On the plus side, it's really short (under 100 words). :D
The first time Harry agreed to go with Draco on a date,
It ended up with take-away at the office after working late.
The second time was better, but it wasn't that much fun.
Instead of private time together, they were surrounded by everyone.
Finally, when Draco had nearly given up his quest,
Harry asked him to attend a ball, as his special guest.
That night at the dance, as he held Harry tightly in his arms,
Draco smiled and couldn't help but think that the third time's a charm.
