Private to Harry - August 25, 2000

Aug 26, 2006 00:05

It's fairly quiet, as it usually is.  Harry and Draco are lounging around in Harry's room in a companionable silence, like they usually are.  Nike is pouncing on Draco's feet, sometimes leaving livid red lines that aren't quite scratches in the wake of her kitten-claws.  Draco doesn't appear to notice.  In fact, he's jiggling his feet almost ( Read more... )

You know...I may be hopeless, but somehow I manage to end up on that bloody floor all night anyhow. Apparently, I don't embarrass someone. Gods, like I even want to dance with you...I don't. I hate dancing. Fuck.

All right, Malfoy...we'll get there and if you can convince McGonagall to let us leave early without argument or threat of hexing...well, I'll think of something to reward you with. Seeing as how I'm in need of a backbone. Better yet...convince Snape to not insist on you staying either.

P.S. That was not a nibble. Merlin, are you sure that thing is just a cat?

Well, it doesn't matter whether you're an embarrassment or not. We couldn't dance together anyway.

Point taken.

P.S. Of course she is. Are you bleeding? Do you need me to kiss it better?

I know. Good thing too...since I am such an embarrassment. Gods, I hate you for making me sound like a girl.

Thought so. Seems I'm not the only one in need of a backbone.

P.S. You know, I think you're right. I'm over here being attacked by a wild animal and Snitch hasn't moved a bloody muscle. Some guard dog.

And no, I'm not bleeding. But you can kiss it anyhow.

Merlin you sound like a girl. You know, I can teach you to dance if you want. It's a useful skill and even someone with your severe lack of grace could probably learn a thing or two about it.

I definitely did not mean for that to sound like such a blatant proposition.

Oh go fuck yourself, Potter.

P.S. I told you.

Must I kiss it? I don't know that I'm feeling up to any kissing tonight.

Stuff it, Ferret.

You're going to teach me to dance? Before tomorrow? You have no idea what you're getting yourself into, do you? But, hey, they're your toes...

Why would I go and do something like that? It's not as much fun by myself.

P.S. Rub it in, why don't you?

No? Merlin, am I supposed to ask you what's wrong or something? If we're...I should them right? Everything all right, Draco?

Obviously I can't teach you everything I know in a few hours. I spent most of my childhood learning the steps, after all. And it's only if you want me too. I can't force you to dance.

I honestly have nothing to say to that.

P.S. Of course.

Yes, fine. Why?

I don't need to know everything. Just enough to keep me from killing me or someone else on the dance floor come tomorrow night. Unless...Merlin, this is bloody complicated. Am I not supposed to dance with anyone else since I'm technically going with you but no one knows that?

I rendered Draco Malfoy speechless? Shouldn't this be marked as a national holiday or something?

P.S. Should have known.

I don't know. I guess...well, you've never not been feeling up to it. Or maybe you just haven't said before. I don't know. Forget I asked.

You can dance with whoever you want to dance with, Harry Potter. Because at the end of the night you're coming home with me.

Shut up and stand up so I can teach you something.

P.S. Probably.

I was joking, Potter. I'm fine. Now seriously, get up.

No..technically, I don't get to dance with whoever I want to tomorrow night. But, I get to now.

I'm getting up...be patient. I have a wounded foot from that bloody cat of yours.

It's fairly quiet, as it usually is. Harry and Draco are engaged in the kind of dance that doesn't have to be taught, as they usually are. The air is charged with latent tension and it's impossible for Draco not to notice. He doesn't give any sign of noticing it, though. Instead he stares down at the pages of his journal with a slow smile curling his lips.

With a quick glance upward, Draco puts his quill back to the page of the journal . . .

Baby.
