Summary: Hermione offers a surprising opinion.
"The rumors are true, then?"
Harry glanced up from a confounding report and turned his frown on Hermione. "Sorry?"
She nodded at the coffee mug on his desk. "You're in love with Draco Malfoy."
Harry sighed and leaned back in his chair. "Someone altered the script on the mug, and I haven't the patience to fix it. I'm willing to sacrifice my ego if it makes people laugh."
"How noble of you, Harry," she sassed. Her expression turned serious. "Just to be clear, you didn't have anything to do with the writing on your mug?"
"Are you accusing me of inviting the ridicule I've been subjected to?"
"No, it's just that, well, you've always been fascinated with Malfoy, and-"
"Height of folly, ruined reputation, end of days," scoffed Harry. "It would be a disaster to take up with him. I get it, Hermione."
"I wasn't about to talk you out of it," she countered. "I was going to tell you to do what feels right, do what makes you happy, whether it's drinking coffee, which is high in antioxidants by the way, or brewing a new romance."
As Harry gaped at his friend, she winked at him and sailed out of his office.
"Huh," Harry grunted. He eyed his coffee mug and decided he needed a refill, as well as a break from tedious paperwork. Harry stood up, stretched, and snagged his mug on the way out of his office.

Harry stepped from the Floo in Diagon Alley and strode along the pavement to Dragon Brew. He entered the coffee shop and allowed the fragrant aroma of ground beans and baked goods to permeate his senses.
"Potter, if you don't step up and buy something, I may charge you for inhaling."
Harry hid a grin at Malfoy's cheeky jibe and approached the counter and set his mug on it.
Malfoy smirked at him. "Still in love with me, I see."
"Still an arrogant git, I see."
"What will it be, lover boy?"
Harry was enjoying the banter too much to muster a proper, Auror-like scowl. He settled for an eye roll. "I'll try a cappuccino today, Malfoy."
"Coming right up."
You have no idea.
