"Potter, get that thing out of here!" The blonde was on the verge of hysterical and his face was flushed scarlet- a considerable feat for someone with Draco's skin tone. Any sane man would have considered that enough reason to just let this one slide.
Harry Potter however, was not one to back down. He loved Draco- more than life itself- but a man is entitled to some freedom and damn it, he was putting his foot down! "Ivy is not a thing!" he said firmly, letting his pretty little purchase slither through his fingers and resolutely ignoring Draco's look of undisguised revulsion "She's a common variety garden snake and absolutely awesome! And she stays!"
"Potter, I swear to Merlin- either it goes, or I go!"
…
"POTTER!"
"I'm thinking!"
"Get it out! You know I have a mortal fear of snakes and…"
"A mortal fear of snakes? Do you have any idea how stupid that sounds? You're a sodding Slytherin. This is your house mascot!"
In hindsight, Harry should have known that glint in Malfoy's eye meant something very, very bad was about to happen. Nevertheless, the naive man allowed himself to feel smug and triumphant as Draco muttered "This isn't over, Potter," and stormed off, apparently defeated.
A few days later…
"Holy mother of Merlin! Draco, what the FUCK did you do? What IS that?"
"If you get to keep my house mascot, I get to keep yours! Not so much fun when it happens to you, is it Scarhead? Down, Aslan! "
Harry deigned not to answer as he ran for his life.
With a bemused sort of horror, he wondered what blithering idiot had seen fit to sell his lunatic boyfriend a full grown African lion.
