Draco and Harry trudged in the deep, white, fluffy snow. It was up to their ankles and they were shaking with the coldness. Their cloaks were not thick enough block out the freezing air and they both forgot about warming charms.

"You think we're any closer Draco?" Harry said. 

"How should I know? We've been walking in these bloody woods for hours!" Draco stated with an eye roll. "I can't even feel my feet!" 

"You're not the only one." Harry said.

Kingsley said this case would be simple for us. Harry thought. I guess he forgot the part about finding this abandoned cabin in the middle of this forest during a snow storm.

Draco suddenly stopped looking ahead and said "Potter, look!" There was a cabin but it didn't look very abandoned, it looked quite like somebody lived in it.

"A cabin!" Harry said. "But it doesn't fit the description of what we're looking for."

"Kingsley gave us a couple of days for this case and I'm freezing my bollocks off." Draco sneered. "I'm not staying out in this weather for another minute!" Draco started to walk up to the cabin leaving Harry staring at him. Looks like we won't be finishing this case today. Harry thought.  I hope whoever lives here will let us stay for a while. Then Harry started his way to the cabin

Draco was shivering by the door as Harry walked up. Harry knocked on the door 3 times, and the door opened. Harry looked kind of shocked because he heard no footsteps- then again this is the Wizarding World. Harry glanced over to Draco and they walked in together. 

*

"Hello?" Harry asked. The door then closed and both boys whipped their heads around, with shocked faces. "I'm Auror Potter; my partner and I are looking for shelter in the snow." Draco stood there unamused when they were meet with silence. 
"Well looks like no one's home." Harry stated. Draco looked around the room and said "I have a feeling this cabin is enchanted." He had grew a smirk on his face and said,"Looks like we won't have any problem staying here for a while." and Draco walked in the direction of the Living room.

As Harry walked in, Draco was placing his coat on a recliner. Harry then saw the Treacle Tarts on the table and squealed with joy. "Treacle Tarts!" Harry bent over and picked one up off of the table and was going to eat it. "You can't just help yourself to food in an enchanted cabin! It could contain any kind of potion!" Draco had his arms crossed at that point. "I'm sure they're fine." Harry gleefully said. Draco glared at him with playful menace. "Have one! I bet your hungry...?"

"I'll pass. I'm not looking after you if you become fatally ill from those."

"Thanks Draco, I couldn't have asked for a better Auror partner to make me feel safe." 

Draco smirked and then said,"We can leave once the weather has calmed down. I'm having a shower." Draco then walked to the bathroom and Harry called after him saying "Okay." 

Harry adopted a mischievous glint to his eyes and thought, Guess I'll have all these to myself.

*

When Draco finally  came out the shower Harry was chewing on the last Treacle Tart, sitting by the fire. "The shower is free to use." Draco said, his pale skin having a pink tint. Harry was full on blushing at Draco's wet and messy hair. Cute. Harry thought. Draco sat down in the other chair, he then spotted the empty table and exclaimed, "Did you really eat all of those tarts to yourself?"
