1000 Days of Harry Potter

Day 957

"I can't believe you and my mother really have been having secret teas without me!" Draco bursts out, as soon as the sitting room door is shut. He casts a Silencing Charm too, just in case, so that Teddy won't wake up and come investigate. It's been nearly a week since he caught them, and he's still fuming about it. 

Harry just laughs. "I'm sorry! We didn't mean for it to be secretive, at least not until you got so weird and accusatory about it..."

"So help me Harry, if you're secretly..."

"Secretly what?"

"I don't know, dating my mum, or something..."

At this, Harry doubles over, laughing so hard he starts to wheeze, while Draco folds his arms and glares at him until he regains control of himself.

"I'm not secretly dating your mum!" He wipes his eyes with the back of his hand, still chuckling softly. "Merlin, Draco. Teddy's grandmother? I know I've made some questionable dating choices, but that would be really fucked up. I just enjoy talking to her sometimes! Like, a mother figure? Not...Merlin, I don't even..." He starts to laugh again. "You're so fucking weird. She just listens and gives good advice!"

Draco relaxes slightly, but he's still annoyed. "I still don't understand why you felt you had to keep it from me."

"I don't know! Like I said, because you acted so strange about it! And we've really only done it a few times. It's not, like, weekly, or anything."

"What do you even talk about?"

"You," Harry says solemnly, the serious expression on his face belied by the teasing glint in his eyes.

"Really?"

"No," Harry laughs. "Teddy, mostly."

Draco rolls his eyes at him. "You were talking about me the other day."

"And Teddy! Merlin, Draco. Do you want us to talk about you or not? What do you want from me?" Harry throws his hands up in mock frustration.

You, a voice in Draco's head screams, I want you.

Draco forces himself to bite back the words, and rolls his eyes at Harry again. "I don't know, Potter. Just...no more secrets!"

Harry smiles and touches his arm. "Alright, alright. No more secret teas with your Mum. We'll invite you next time, I promise."
