Pet Names I Drarry

1.

"Mr. Malfoy, Mr. Potter, it's wonderful to see both of you again." Headmistress McGonagall says with a fond smile on her face as Draco and Harry sit in the two seats in front of her desk, which used to be Dumbledore's before the battle of the astronomy tower.

"It's good to see you too, Professor." Harry says with a nod of his head, curious as to why she called both him and Draco in to talk with her. "What did you want to talk to the two of us about?" He asks, surprised at how quiet Draco is being in the seat next to him.

"I have a simply request for the two of you." McGonagall says, folding her hands atop of her desk, looking over the her two students over her glasses that are perched on the center of her nose. "In order to promote house unity in the light of the end of the war, I would ask that you two stop referring to one another by your last names." She adds, which makes Draco and Harry to look at one another before they look at her with identical confusion on their faces.

"What? How would that promote house unity?" Draco asks, not understanding why the two of them, who are definitely not on first name basis, calling each other something other than their last name would effect house unity within the school.

"To show that just because you two are in what most people consider to be rival houses, you can still be polite to one another." McGonagall says, with a slight smirk on her lips, as she hadn't expected to agree right aways.

"Is this mandatory?" Draco asks, seemingly wanting to do anything other than address Harry by his first name.

"I'm afraid it is, Mr. Malfoy." McGonagall answers, smirk still present on her lips, as this is playing out almost exactly how she had anticipated it would. "Unless you would like detention every time you refer to Mr. Potter by his last name." She adds, offering an ultimatum, knowing that both of them would rather suck it up and call each other by their first names than have detention every night until the end of the year.

"Alright, fine." Harry says with a huff, as he doesn't see anyway that he can get around this, as the idea of having detention just for calling Draco his last name isn't exactly appealing to him.

"Fine?" Draco asks in disbelief, eyes wide as he turns to look at Harry, who just seems to have accepted the situation for what it is at this point, knowing that there's no point in arguing about it.

"Oh! Before I forget, you two also have sign this, in agreement of that fact that you two will no longer refer to one another by last names." McGonagall adds, sliding a shimmering paper over to the two boys, pens appearing in front of both of them so they can sign at their pleasure.

Both Harry and Draco let out signs before they grab their individual pens and sign the paper, which makes another smirk slide onto McGonagall's face before she pulls the paper back to her, folds it up and places it into one of the drawers in her desk.

"Thank you, boys, that will be all." McGonagall says, letting the two boys in front of her to know that they don't have anything else to discuss before they both get up and leave her office in an uncharacteristic silence, making her laugh slightly once they already left the room, as she begins to think of the loopholes in the contract that they're both smart enough to realize.

"Look if it isn't lover boy with Granger and Weasley." Draco says with a smirk, as he realized over the few days that he hadn't come into contact with Harry that he could call him anything, as long as it isn't his last name.

"Morning, handsome." Harry says with an almost identical smirk as him, Hermione and Ron are walking into the Great Hall, Draco, Blaise and Pansy now walking next to them as Harry and Draco try and think of more snide comments they can make before the two groups separate to go to their separate house tables for breakfast.
