Treacle Tart

Summary: The tale of a dog, a cat and a best friend that likes to matchmake

*

"Treacle, what happened to you?" Draco quickly dropped everything he was doing and ran to his cat on the window, she was shaking and her hair indicated that she just had an awful experience. Her fur also has some dirt on. Draco suddenly felt protective and he knew exactly where to go, so he carried his cat into his arms and walked out of his house. He marched through the empty street and to the house opposite to him.

This was supposed to be a peaceful suburban neighbourhood, but no, this house's dog has been harassing his cat for more than a week, since they moved here. Treacle always come home in a filthy state, so Draco had to run a bath for her every time. He kissed Treacle's forehead and walked to the big house, they had a red door and their lawn was not mown well, it was dirty and looked like they never cleaned it up. His lips formed a disgusting frown and he knocked twice on the red door, looking down on his white Persian cat.

The door opened to reveal a man, probably his age, he was only wearing a grey joggers and the waistband was a bit low, Draco's eyes went up and down on his body, he was muscular and looked hot, to be fair. The other man was wearing a pair of glasses that was really out of style, his jawline was so sharp Draco thought he could cut his finger just by touching it. His hair was a huge black mess, birds could make a nest in it. But when his cat meowed suddenly, he remembered why he was here. Draco cleared his throat and looked at the opposite man

"Hello, sorry for bothering you but your dog has been bothering my cat everyday since you moved here. So would you pleas-..."

"Who are you?" The other man asked and then yawn, not covering his mouth, Draco was taken aback by his crude behaviour

"I am your next door neighbour, I'm Draco, Draco Malfoy. But it's not why I'm here, I'm here because my ca-..."

"I'm Harry, Harry Potter" The guy, Harry, spoke and Draco blinked at him

"And I don't care" Draco rolled his eyes and Harry chuckled "The point is, my ca-..."

"That's your cat? I thought it was just a stray cat who often come into my house and eat my dog's food"

"I beg your pardon?" Draco asked and then looked down at his cat, Treacle purred and stayed still in his arms

"Yeah, she always come into my house in the morning and then play with my dog on my lawn" Harry turned to his right and whistled "Tart, you have company"

The big Golden Retriever came running up to Harry and licked his face, Draco frowned. Who would name his dog Tart?

"But..."

"Yeah?" Harry let his dog down and leaned on the door "They like each other a lot. What's her name?"

"Er, Treacle" Draco said and looked down at the dog, who was clearly excited to see Treacle

"Oh, so Treacle Tart"

"Excuse me?"

"Her name is Treacle, and this little guy here is Tart. So, Treacle Tart. What a coincidence, right?" Harry grinned and Draco blinked again

"Yeah, sure" Draco stepped back and decided that he had better leave, he nodded at Harry and proceeded to turned around but a voice stopped him

"Wait" Harry called and he sighed, turning around again

"Yes?"

"I-...do you want to go in and have some drinks?" Harry asked and he looked back at his house
