Summary: Harry collects Draco for their date.



Harry arrived at Dragon Brew at seven, just as he'd promised. The coffee shop was closed, but he knocked on the door, thankful when Malfoy opened it. Harry had wondered if he was going to be stood up.

"Where are we going, Potter?" asked Malfoy. "I expect to be wined and dined in opulence."

Harry's smile faltered. "Erm..."

Malfoy huffed and crossed his arms. "Were you planning to take me to some manky pub?"

"Ahem, I'm going to take you to my place so you can meet Panini."

One blond brow quirked up. "That seems inappropriate."

"Shall I wait until our fifth date to introduce you to my kitten?" teased Harry.

"Twat," said Malfoy. "I meant, it doesn't seem appropriate to take me to your home."

Harry laughed. "We're both adults, Malfoy. And, I promise that nothing will happen that you don't want to happen. Does that satisfy your sense of propriety?"

"I simply don't want Ethel and Mabel to tut at me again."

Harry grimaced as he took Malfoy's arm and whisked them to his flat. He blinked in astonishment. The flat had been spotless when he left; now it looked like a war zone. "Panini!" he gasped.

Mew?

"Potter, don't blame your kitten for the fact that you didn't clean."

"But, but I did clean!" Harry bleated in protest.

Panini emerged from under the sofa, fluff from a destroyed pillow still clinging to his whiskers. He ignored Harry and went straight to Malfoy, winding around his legs.

Malfoy bent and scooped the kitten up. "Aren't you just the most precious thing?" he cooed, scratching a purring Panini under the chin.

A frown tugged at Harry's lips. He was jealous of his kitten. He cleared his throat. "Would you care for tea or coffee while I get dinner ready?" As he spoke, Harry flicked his wand about, restoring order to the lounge.

"Tea would be lovely," Malfoy replied. He sat on the sofa and cuddled Panini.

Harry stalked into the kitchen and emerged a moment later with a cup of tea for his guest and his own beverage of choice in his to-go cup.

Malfoy grinned at him. "Coffee?"

Harry shook his head. "Whisky."
