here “Hey, Draco, wait!” Draco turns around and spots Potter near Flourish and Blott's. He does wait even if he rather apparate and pretend the dofus doesn’t exist . “Don’t make that face, we are almost family now.”
Draco gives Potter the stinky eye, just because he been sleeping on and off with Weasley doesn’t mean he has anything to do with Potter, even if he married Weaslette and his wedding provided Draco to re-meet and end up fucking Bill.
“Look,I just need to talk a little, can we go have a cup of coffee or a butterbeer?” Draco considers this, and nods, he can hear Potter, this once. “Coffee by your place then?”
They apparate in the coffeehouse in Muggle London, in the corner by Draco’s apartment. Harry lived in the same place until he got married and then they moved to a big house near the Weasleys. It was then that Draco and him got closer, having to use the same flu to get to the Ministry, and meeting close to the place, the coffeehouse was one of the most frequent place.

“So, Ginny and I,we want to have you for dinner. We finally settle in the house and I was thinking, maybe you might want to join us; Ginny wants to get to know you better.” Harry looks earnest behind his coffee cup.
“I’m not with Bill, Potter, I’m not going to meet his sister and play family.” He doesn’t say they aren’t fucking, because they are, but are not dating.
“Ginny would have reached you, but I thought I could be more to the point. It’s not because of Bill, or at least not directly. She wants to give a shot at knowing you as my friend, and I think she is curious, because Bill wouldn’t be with someone stupid or evil, even if it was casual.” Draco quirks a brow and smiles when he sips his tea.
“Friends, hum?” Harry laughs, deeply and nods, face light.
“Gin promises she won’t ask you about Bill, she will probably talk about him, it’s her brother and they are close, but we won’t give you a hard time. ”
“Ok, Potter,but I want to propose a trade.”
“Say it.” Draco likes the spark in Potter eyes, he looks nice, pretty even. He can recognize the bloke is pretty, not that he will tell Potter.
“I’ll have a dinner back at some point and you must come as a buffer.”
“With who?” Harry smiles and Draco knows he will do it, even if it’s someone he hates.
“Granger and her horrible husband. They just had the baby and I’m not ready to deal with a mini Weasley.” Harry laughs again,but nods at him. “Now shut up and take your drink.”
They settle and Draco smiles quietly.
Meanwhile, at Harry and Ginny’s place, she is talking to Bill.
“I’ll come to dinner sometime,but not when he comes Gin. I like Draco just fine, but it’s just casual for now.”
“But why? I know that look, you like him, I know.”
“Yes, I do like him, but I’m a widower, I have a little kid and I think I still need to know him better before I can properly date him. And you promised Harry not to talk about us in that dinner.” Ginny grumbles and Bill smiles at her,pulling her into a hug. “Don’t worry, we might be all lovey-dovey like you and Harry really soon.”
Bill stays for a while, but he leaves when Ginny starts to insist he stays for dinner today. Her cooking is still atrocious and Bill prefers to wait for a night that is Harry’s time to cook. He apparates back to his apartment. He decides for a nap before going out to dinner, and when he wakes he finds Draco at his kitchen, food ready and smelling delicious.
“Did Ginny corned you like Harry did with me?” Draco asks and Bill nods, they give a quick peck and settle to eat.
“We might tell them soon that we are living together or not, I’m having fun dogging her.”
“Thank god your mother is understanding.” Bill nods, his mother gets they need space and that Draco doesn’t mind her coming and going from their home, so she doesn’t feel the need, yet, of having them at the Sunday’s meals at the Burrow.
“Victorie is coming back next week from her time with Delacours, I thought he could go buy the rest of her things tomorrow.”
“Sure, I got dinner with Potter Friday, but I’m free the rest of the day's. Mother wants to meet you, but she promised to wait until Vic settles; she really wants to meet her too.”
Bill touches his hand and pulls him in for a kiss. They are still settling and they are casual about their relationship, but now living together he likes having their families merge. Draco agreed not to marry,and asked Bill to keep things quietly, except for their mothers. Bill liked that, how free and yet well he feels in this relationship.
“I’m not letting you buy more red and gold stuff.”
“Only if you don’t buy her green stuff.”
Draco shows his tongue and goes back to his plate. Tomorrow for sure they will buy more Gryffindor and Slytherin stuff, and Vic will laugh because she doesn’t care much. She will probably end up of Hufflepuff.
