My Happy Place (a Drarry Texting Fic)

11

"Fucking Malfoy, I'm tired of him."

"Hmm?" Hermione came by from the kitchen, taking a seat next to Harry. A cup of tea perched on a saucer was placed on the table before him and he smiled softly, raising his head. "What's going on, then? Out with it."

"Nothing. Nothing, Herms. You just came back. I can't be bothering you with my trouble. It's honestly stupid, anyway."

"I don't care how stupid it is and you know that. You can talk to me, Harry."

"I'm just... I'm so confused, he's making me feel so confused and he's just fucking enjoying it, the bastard." He chuffed miserably, sinking down into the couch instead of saying more when Ron came out of the bathroom and joined them. He glanced between both of them and sat down, folding his arms.

"Alright. Out with it, then. What's going on?"

"Nothing, mate. Don't get upset you only just got here-"

"M'not upset."

"Fine, then. Don't get jealous, either. I'm not trying to steal Hermione away or anything..."

"Why would I get jealous? Do I look like I give a fuck what you do with yourself, Potter-"

"Ronald!"

"If you wanna go, just go. The door's open."

"Boys, enough. Enough! You can't still be like this, I left for two weeks, I had hoped maybe you two might make up."

"Make up with the bloke who played with my sister's feelings for years? Ha. No thanks, Hermione. I'm going home." Harry opened his mouth to say something, perhaps apologise bt he knew how that would go because it had happened a few times before. It would make Ron even angrier, then he'd either get insulted or hurt and Hermione would be trying to separate them all through. He deserved to get punched even more but in the end, he didn't want to be a bother since Hermione had only just come back. So he kept his mouth shut from then on, staring blankly at the wall in front of him.

"Guys, I... I wanted to invite you guys to come with Pans and I to an island we found. It's in the middle of nowhere, we can apparate there. We just want to be able to have our closest friends with us."

"Already ready to travel after a day? What happened to bookish Hermione who paid more attention to the adventures on the pages than real life?"

"Love changes you, I guess." Harry rose his head, grinning and Ron smiled as well. With a sigh, the redhead walked over and gave her a squeeze.

"I'll be there. Course, I'll be there. Can't miss my very first girlfriend being all icky in love with someone, can I?"

"No, you can't, you runt. And just to warn you two, Draco and Blaise will be there as well. That's who Pans is inviting."

Draco?

"I'll be off, too, Herms."

"Huh? But you haven't even told me about the guy you mentioned- who you clearly like, by the way." He stared at her, forcing a smile when she chuckled. To be honest she probably knew exactly who he was talking about, this was Hermione Granger after all. She touched his cheek gently and shook her head. "My boys... Both of you are struggling. You need a friend more than ever and I do hope this thing between you two sorts out, soon."

"Not if I can go back in time and stop myself from asking Ginny out back then. I'll be off. Enjoy your muggle world apartment, sis. Take care."

"You too, goof."

Draco?

Yeah, Potter?

Did Pansy tell you? About the thing?

What? The fact that they wanna take us out to a random island, where they'll probably just kill us? Yeah. I heard.

R u coming?

Fuck no. I don't want to have to deal with that many people all at once. Something's bound to go wrong and it'll be my fault and you'll probably end up being mad at me, so will Pansy and Blaise and everybody else. I'd rather just avoid that.

Or maybe it'll be good. Maybe we'll all hang out in the sun, have fun... Maybe. Hopefully.

I hate the sun. Sounds like you're a bit nervous, lad. Maybe don't go either. I can pour out a bag of sand in my living room, we can hang right there. Or change our chat colour's background to Sandy.

What are you going on about?

Roleplay. Ever heard of it?

Draco, you have to come. Everyone else will.

I said I'll fuck it up.

Well, who cares? I'll probably fuck it up, too but I bloody want you there, mate. Just show up for some minutes and leave. I think this is really important to our friends. We can't let them down just cos we feel uncomfortable.

You really wanna meet me this bad, huh? 👅

Have to rip the bandaid off at some point, right? There's a date and a place. That way, I can't back out.

Jesus. You must be really sex-deprived if you're so stubborn about me being there.

I am.

Oh? 😏

I'm stubborn about you coming, you wanker! You've got issues, D. Issues.

I know. Comes with being called a sex god on the net all the time, kinda gets into my head even though my hand is the only witness to my abilities ='(

You always say way too much.

Eh. You love it.

Right. Well, I guess I'll see you there, then.

Ha, when did you deduce that? Clearly you need me there a lot. Sounds like leverage.

Just tell me what you want from me and let's get it over with.

I will, Potter. I most certainly will, be patient, eh?
