After drinking our way through two bottles, I pop open another and pour him another "I'm getting a bit warm."

He scoffs, before reminding "It's May and we live in a house with no heat and air. What do you expect?"

I shrug, before taking a sip and declaring "I didn't save you because I owed you one." he cocks an eyebrow to me and I shrug "I stopped Lucius because I know you could be extraordinary."

He gives an amused look, before asking "Extraordinary?"

I take his hand in mine and explain "You stood against what you feared the most! Although you've been bad, you deserve to grow old! Have children, even!"

He shakes his head, before declaring "I didn't do it to face my fear." I give a curious look, before he takes a sip.

I pat his hand, before releasing him "Whatever the reason, you deserve the best on life. A family."

He gives a weak smile, before asking "You were with the Weasley girl, weren't you? Ginny?"

I shrug, before explaining "We kissed a couple of times, but not much else." he nods, before winking "What?"

"Just kissed, huh?" he asks, sarcastically, before gocking "Seriously, you don't have to lie about doing her. I'm not Ron."

I furrow my brow and insist "We never had sex." he hums and I sigh "Seriously, we never got to that, okay?"

The wheels in his head start to grind and he asks "Are you a virgin?" I nod and he gives a shocked look "Well, you are golden."

I take a second, before asking "Are you?" he shakes his head and I ask "What, was it Parkinson?"

He clears his throat, before finishing his glass and placing it down. As I fill it, he sighs "I slept with Pansy, yes. I didn't lose my virginity with her."

"Who did you toss it to?" I ask and he sets his jaw. After a moment, I snicker "At can be as bad as Ron losing his to Lavender Brown."

He takes a moment, before announcing "It was Blaise." I give a shocked look and he explains "It was a weird friends with benefits thing. The three of us ended up in a polyamoryic relationship."

I give a bewildered look, before stating "That seems like too much work." he nods and I frown "How does that even work?"

He shrugs, before remarking "The sex was fantastic. It was fun to touch on each other and cuddle each other. Pansy could get me off in the short term, but I couldn't really fathom having a relationship with her."

I nod, before asking "Do you identify as gay, straight..." I think of the other one I know of "Bi?"

He thinks for a moment, before shrugging "I'd say I'm gay. I feel a connection with men, rather than women."

I nod, before taking a sip "That's fine with me." he nods and I clear my throat "Absolutely fine..."

He gives a perplexed look, before asking "I'm sensing it's not fine." I furrow my brow and he sighs.

"It's really alright." I state, before explaining "I'm just... thinking..." he gives a confused look and I clarify "One minute, I really liked Ginny. But after Voldemort's soul left my body... I just lost my interest."

He straightens out in his chair and places his glass down "That actually makes sense." I give a confused look and he shrugs "He came after your family for a reason. I think he fancied your mum."

I give a shocked look, before asking "How do you know that?"

He gives me a look of 'are you dumb', before remarking "Everyone thought your mum was hot! I'm gay and I even think your mum was hot!"

I sigh and ask "So, you think I liked Ginny because Voldemort liked my mum. Because they're both gingers?"

He nods, before picking up his glass and shaking his head "I need to get you laid." I scoff and he scoffs "I won't let you turn twenty, a virgin."

I furrow my brow at him and remind "I'm only seventeen." he hums and I ask "What, do you think it'll be hard to find me someone?"

He sighs, before declaring "I'm not saying that. I'm saying that you're awkward around that type of stuff."

The way he says it, I can't help but ask "When did you lose your virginity?" he takes a long gulp.

After a long moment, he declares "Our third year." I give a shocked look and he explains "Shit was sideways at home, and Blaise had killed for the first time. We were both so broken that we needed a bit of support."

"Broken?" I ask and he gives a weak smile.

"Over the years, my father would give me a wack or two." He states, before shrugging "But after Dobby was freed..." he leads off, before sighing "Let's just say, the scene that happened yesterday... it wasn't the first time that happened."

I set my jaw and state "I released Dobby." he nods and I ask "You already knew that?" he nods, again.

"I'm glad you did." he insists, before shrugging "Dobby was my father's elf. Dobby deserved better."

After a long moment of silence, I ask "Did you know?" he gives a bewildered look and I continue "Of his passing?"

"Yeah." he takes a sip, before clarifying "An elf wraps around the person it's transporting. I knew the second the dagger disappeared."

I nod and he continues "I'm glad he died protecting you. From what I heard, you were kind to him."

"From what you heard?" I ask and he hums "What, did Lucius tell you of how I fooled him into releasing Dobby?"

"Yeah." Draco sighs, before scratching the back of his neck "But I know that Dobby used to work in the Hogwarts kitchen."

I give a perplexed look and he explains "I was looking for Crabbe and Goyle one day and I went looking for their fat arses in the kitchen."

I hum and we slip into silence, before I ask "Why didn't you tell Bellatrix it was me?" he presses his lips into a fine line.

He downs the rest of his glass and puts it down "I'm going to turn in."
