"I have a surprise for you!" Draco sang as he came through the front door. Neither had been in a rush to find a job. Being a Malfoy, Draco truly didn't have to work if he didn't want to. Lennon had money saved up, but Draco refused to let her pay a dime for living with him, so she was still doing fine as well. But the two could only do so much without craving a job and life outside of their beautiful home. Lennon walked out of her bedroom in a pair of sweats and a tank top. Her curly hair was pulled into a messy low bun and Draco couldn't help but admire her beauty. "A surprise for me?" Lennon questioned. Draco held a small wrapped box out for Lennon to open and she hesitantly took it, "Is it going to jump at me?" Draco laughed at the question and was about to make fun of her for it but realized she was being serious. Thoughts of Fred Weasley entered Draco's mind, and he suddenly wondered if he could even compete with someone who had been like him. "I promise you're safe and nothing will jump at you." Draco murmured, looking down at his feet wondering if she would like it. "A key? Kicking me out already, Malfoy?" Lennon teased, holding up the key in confusion. "We own the potion shop now." Draco announced, leaving Lennon speechless. She didn't know what to say, how to feel, how to react. Her mouth was open and she couldn't help but stare at the key as her heart ached.
"Look what we have!" Fred laughed as he ran around the empty store with the key. "We are going to fix this place up perfectly!" Fred beamed, picking Lennon up and kissing her. "I'm so proud of you both." Lennon smiled as Fred put her down. "We owe a lot to you. You helped us with all our potion questions. You really helped our inventory." George hugged Lennon. Lennon took the key from Fred and stared at it, excited for their next adventure together.
"Lennon?" Draco asked softly, bringing her back to reality. Lennon wiped a tear from her cheek that she hadn't realize fell. "Thank you, Draco, but I can't accept this." Lennon tried to hand the key back but Draco shook his head, "This is what I want." The words made Lennon freeze again, unsure of what to say next. She pulled Draco into a deep hug, unsure of what their relationship was at this point. They had officially kissed twice and now he was helping her with a dream job. Could he really love her like Fred did? As Draco tightened his hold on Lennon and snuggled into her, Lennon couldn't help but to have one more thought,
Maybe he won't love me like Fred, but that might not be a bad thing.
