My Happy Place (a Drarry Texting Fic)

12

Hey, Dray? Hermione's just rang me to join her. You're coming, right?

First of all, Dray? Second of all, eww. I keep imagining it and every scenario is just shit.

How can u say that when I'll be there :'(

You're the main problem, idiot.

I'm nervous too, you know. We didn't exactly part ways as friends the last time we ever saw each other. And before that, we were straight-up enemies. So this won't be easy for me either. It's just... A change. It's different. But we've faced a lot, I'm sure we can manage this.

Did I ever say I was nervous to meet you, Potter?

No, lol, I just assumed. Srry bout that 😅

Harry felt pretty stupid, now. It only made his nerves worse. But Draco made him feel better when, against his better judgement, he replied:

I am, actually. I just like making you sweat 💦

You just can't help yourself.

Nope.

Look... If you agree to come to the beach with us. Maybe then, I'll say something nice about you on my social media? Seems like good bribery, you love being the centre of attention and you love your ego so...?

Alright, bet. But don't chicken out, do it right now before you start overthinking things and how it'll affect your career blah blah.

Well thanks for putting that thought in my head.

I live to serve.

@harrypotter Against my will, I'd like to come clean and announce that Draco's hair is in fact really like that. And I should know cos I've known him since we were eleven.

@thedragonking Oh, please. He only knows that cos he's gripped my hair enough that he would be able to tell more than anyone. He's a reliable source, guys, treat him right

I'll strangle you. One of these days, I'll strangle you, Malfoy.

Ooh kinky. But I prefer to do the strangling, love. Anyway... Pansy's knocking. Guess I'll see you there?

Why do I get the feeling you would've come, anyway? You always say Pansy has some authority over you. I really didn't need to post what I just posted, did I?

Honestly? Nope. But I appreciate your service.

You just thrive in chaos. And watching me break.

What can I say, Potter, you're surprisingly still entertaining these days.

It wasn't even a real compliment. Really, it was an insult mixed with one but Harry was shaken up, anyway, annoyed with himself when he felt heat rise in his cheeks. He apparated to Hermione's place and, surprise surprise, Ron actually had gotten there before him and was waiting when he arrived. It was quiet between them for a bit and then Harry decided to try and make small talk at the very least.

"Hey... Where's Hermione?"

"Still getting ready. I think she's a little nervous, though I can't for the life of me understand why. Don't really get why this is so important, it's not such a big deal that her and Pansy are close now." Harry bit back a smile, shifting a bit closer to Ron with a cool expression.
