Struggling Through New Beginnings

Chapter 36

�How was what?� Draco asked. He sat on the sofa with his eyes closed and his

legs stretched out in front of him, ankles crossed. A forgotten full glass of firewhiskeyrested in his hands.

Greg came in and sat down in the chair nearest the

fire. Meanwhile, Theo closed the door and joined them, sitting on the sofa next
to Draco.

He then reached over and took the glass from

Draco�s hand and swallowed a large gulp.

�Hey!�

�What? You weren�t drinking it,� Theo chuckled.

Draco reached out and took it back, �Well, maybe I

was going to��

�Can we stay on topic?� Greg interrupted.

Theo sighed heavily and crossed his arms and legs

as she sat back against the sofa. �I don�t see where it is any of our business,
Greg. And, it isn�t appropriate to ask Draco��

�Appropriate?� Greg laughed. �Who was it that

interrogated Blaise last year for an hour after his date with Tracey?�

Theo had the grace to flush a little, �Well, that

Greg raised an eyebrow and laughed, �Then, as in

�Yes, well,� Theo muttered.

Draco finally stepped into the conversation, �May I

ask what you two dimwits are talking about?�

Greg turned to him, �Kissing Hermione!�

�Gregory,� Theo admonished.

�Belt up Nott, you know you want to know, too,�

Greg laughed.

Theo rolled his eyes and looked at the fire. �Why

do you want to know? I thought you were over her? What are you doing with
Millie, if you��

�I am. Over her, that is. And, I like Millie. But,

that doesn�t mean I can�t still be curious.�

�How about I help you girls out a bit?� Draco

laughed. �She is fantastic. The witch can kiss! I hate to think of her
practicing on Weasley, but I can�t deny the results.�

�Is that all you did?�

�Greg!�

�What?!�

�No matter, Theo,� Draco smirked. Then he turned

his head to Greg, �That�s all you�re getting anyway.�

�Spoilsport,� Greg grumbled as he reached out and

swiped Draco�s drink. He downed it in one gulp and laughed at the look on
Draco�s face. �Sorry, mate, but no story, no drink!�

Draco laughed, �It�s my room, remember?Accio bottle.�

�Accio glass,� both Theo
