Drarry: Starting Over

Weasley's Wizard Wheezes: Draco

As promised, Draco arrived at the joke shop that Sunday morning with two egg and sausage sandwiches.

       "Potter," he said. Harry sighed in relief.

       "You came." Harry gave him a quick peck on the cheek, then returned to work.

       With his mouth full, Draco asked, "What are we doing today?"

       "George said he needs someone to man the desk. He's been gaining a few customers, he wants to be able to go around, answer questions. Oh, and someone needs to clean the loo."

       "Well, I'm not cleaning anything. I'll take the desk." Harry groaned.

       "Fine. But you'll owe me for that later." Draco donned a smirk.

       "What did you have in mind?" Harry was about to answer, when he heard an argument coming from out the door.

       "I don't care if you don't believe me, I heard he would be here. You do want to speak to him, don't you?" The voice was Hermione's.

"Course I do, but you don't see him, do you? He's not here!" This was most definitely Ronald Weasley. Hermione scoffed.

"We ought to at least ask your brother, don't you think?" At this point, George began to speak at the mention of him.

"Ask me what?" A few clacks of shoe against tile could be heard, then Hermione spoke again.

"Harry wouldn't happen to be here, would he?"

"Yeah, he's just in back."

"Brilliant. Thank you, George." Draco didn't know Hermione very well, but he figured she had probably now given Ron a pointed glance as to say, I told you so. More footsteps were heard, and the door that blocked Harry and Draco from the rest of the world was opened.

Neither of them noticed Draco at first.

"Harry! There you are. Ronald wanted to speak to you."

"What about?" Harry asked.

"Well, Bill and Fleur have..." Ron trailed off when he noticed Draco. "What's he doing here?"

"What's it matter to you, Weasley?" Draco snapped.

"Hey, easy Malfoy," Harry said. "It was just a question."

"I'm helping out." He said it with defiance, trying to sound impressive. Ron almost laughed. "A Malfoy? Helping out?" Hermione furrowed her brow.

"Harry? What's going on?"

"I'm his boyfriend, Granger."

Harry went red.
