Draco made his way along River Road, enjoying the morning quiet. He wasn't really one for enjoying nature or whatever, but lately he'd not been as content as he'd once been with just staying in his flat. It had been much easier to do so at the end of the war, when he'd been bored and restless and entirely unsure of his place in this new society. Not that he was significantly more sure of things now ( ... )

Blaise pulled himself out of his thoughts and looked up at the sound of someone clearing their throat behind him. He smirked at the sight of Draco and relaxed his shoulders a fraction, wry amusement rolling over him at the realisation that an impending conversation with Draco Malfoy was no longer cause for aggravation and frustration, which was how he’d always looked at it at one time. It was how he’d looked at conversations with the majority of his housemates to tell the truth. Tracy being the only exception and even with her Blaise had sometimes found her attitude and refusal to ask for help exasperating. Still did. And much as he’d called Theo friend at one time it hadn’t meant that interactions with him were any less game play orientated. It wasn’t any wonder that some of the most prominent politicians of the past few decades had come out of Slytherin, he thought. Growing up inside that house was a perfect education in politics ( ... )

Draco glanced down at the soft grass underfoot and shrugged inwardly before he took a seat beside Blaise -- at a cool distance, of course, though that was more form and habit than anything else.

He reached over and and thumbed a roll up from the slim case Blaise extended before he smiled wryly. "It would appear you're a better-than-average judge of character, then," he said. "Though at this time of day, I can certainly see the appeal. For those who are into such things, of course." His smile widened slightly.

"I'm well," he continued. "Found myself up early and pacing and thought I'd have a bit of a walk. And you?"

Blaise’s lips curled into a hint of a softer smile and he glanced back at the river as Draco took a seat, amused by the other man’s posture and reaction. Slightly stiff and cold, and so familiarly formal it was like coming home. Blaise thought that maybe it just went to prove he was spending far too much time with open Ravenclaws and pushy in-touch-with-their-feelings Gryffindors if he was getting sentimental over his old houses tendency towards aloofness. He chastised himself a moment later for falling into the use of stereotypes he’d cautioned others against in the past six months. Even so there was something to the observation ( ... )
