Harry stood when he heard the knock and almost jogged to the door.

"I'm here to pick up Theodore..?"

"Oh you must be the babysitter, I'm- hey! I know you. You're that Malfoy kid, right? You're in my World History class."

"Yeah. I know. I'm just here to babysit for my cousin. I'm a little late, but-"

"No, problem. Come on in." Harry moved away from the door while he led Malfoy through the house towards the sitting room. "First lesson in babysitting the pup, you should know that no one calls him Theodore."

"Well that is his name though, isn't it?"

"Yeah, but everyone just calls him Teddy."

"Alright then. You clearly seem capable enough, why do I have to babysit?"

"I got talked into going on a date."

"Oooh. Who's the lucky girl?"

"Guy actually."

"Po-tayto, po-tahto. So who is it? Are they from our school?"

"You seem awfully eager for someone who seemed to hate my guts a moment ago."

"That was before you seemed interesting. I mean, honestly. Captain of the football team and a shirt lifter. You could've fooled me, with all your big bad testosterone talk."

"I-I'm sorry, did I do something wrong?"

"No more than usual. Now, who is it?"

"Cedric Diggory."

"You could do better. I mean he seems nice enough of course, but you don't look like a 'nice enough' type of guy."

"Better than last week," Harry said chuckling with blush on his cheeks.

"Why? Who'd you go out with last week?"

"Oliver Wood."

"I thought he graduated?"

"He did. As he put it, I 'deserved a chance'. Would you- stop laughing."

"I c-can't. That's just p-pathetic. Even for you, Potter."

"I did mention I was talked into it, right? I can't just say no."

"I assure you, you can. It's easy. Two letters. N-o."

"What about you?"

"What about me?"

"Where's your girlfriend tonight?"

"I assure you, Potter, I do not have a girlfriend."

"What? So you and Parkinson...? C'mon, you guys are practically attached at the hip."

"No. Definitely not. Though me and Blaise did try to 'ride-the-hobby-horse' for a bit. He's too high maintenance."

"Oh, you're one to talk."
