A Potter and a Malfoy ✔️

7| Shopping

"I don't know. I've never been here before. Whatever you want." I answered him.

"Well are you hungry? We could go get something to eat or we could walk around the park?" He offered some ideas. I was hungry. But I didn't want him to think I was a pig.

On cue, my stomach let out a small growl. He chuckled but I turned red.

"Come on. I know a good place to get breakfast." He took my hand lightly and I walked with him to a small café.

We walked in and the waiter sat us down and let us look over the menu. "What are you going to get to drink Draco?" I looked up at him.

"I know it's super early but a milkshake sounds really good right now." He laughed.

"What flavor though?" I quizzed him.

"Oh, chocolate obviously."

"Good. If you said vanilla I would have lost a bit of respect for you."

He smiled at my comment. "What are you getting Natalie?"

"Now that you mention it, I will get a milkshake too. And I think I'm going to have French toast for my meal. It sounds so good." My mouth started watering at the thought of it.

I was hoping I wouldn't get too bloated from eating.

The waiter came back and he took our orders and menus. While we waited for our food we got to know each other better.

"What's your biggest fear?" I leaned forward eager to hear what he would say.

"Umm. Well. Probably either my father and the dark lord or being alone." He answered. "Yours?"

"My uncle or being alone." I answered.

"Your uncle? That fat bastard?"

"Yeah." I smiled at his words.

"What does he do?" He was visibly confused.

"Besides constantly yelling at me, when Harry isn't around he hurts me. I've never even told Harry that though." My voice trailed off and I looked down in embarrassment.

"Let's lighten the mood. What's your favorite thing to do in your free time?" He took my hand under the table and I looked up smiling at him.

"I like to practice makeup with Avery or fly around with Harry. Or ship Hermione and Ron behind their backs." I laughed.

"I can see it!" He agreed with me laughing.

Our food suddenly got there so we sat back and started eating. I made sure I was eating slowly so I would get full faster and not be able to finish.

"What do you like to do in your free time?" I asked him taking a sip on my chocolate milkshake.

"I like to prank people." He smiled to himself. "My friends of course." He added. "I also enjoy spending time with you and I would like to do it more."

I smiled again like an idiot. "I would like that too."

================================

"Can we go in this one now?" I looked at Draco with puppy eyes.

"Yeah. Sure." He grabbed my hand with the one that didn't have shopping bags in it.

We had been to so many stores and he kept trying to buy the stuff I wanted for me but I refused. I didn't want him to think I was using him because he came from a rich family. I came from one too. My parents vault was loaded.

"But I'm paying this time."

"No! I'd feel bad." I protested.

"Don't. Let me pay just once."
