Raising Noah

Chapter 2

I'm loving the fluff and humour.

Makes for such a refreshing change.

I truly hope everyone likes the way this is going.

Please do take it in the best spirits and not hate on the characters.

Please read and review. I absolutely love reading reviews because it helps to motivate my writing while other reviews help me to become a better writer.

Enjoy Chapter Two!

HAPPY READING! :)

Theo yelled over the pub noise, "Oi, Malfoy, bring my drink with you."

Draco turned to glare at Theo.

Reluctantly, he slammed down a few Galleons and picked up the large mugs of beer frothing at the top.

Moving seamlessly through the crowd, he plopped himself down on the chair and pushed the mug aggressively towards his best friends.

The beer spilt over the edge and on to Theo's trousers.

"What the fuck?" The blonde blue-eyed man cried in outrage.

"Sorry mate," Draco apologised not meaning a word.

He took a sip, "Are you buggers going to explain why I am paying for all this shit?"

Tapping a cigarette out of the box, he kept it to the corner of his lip and lit the thin tube of tobacco.

Letting out a gratifying stream of smoke towards the ceiling, he fixed his friends with a look.

Blaise shrugged, "We hardly get to see you."

Theo snorted, "Where is the old ball and chain these days?"

Draco let out a laugh, he knew his friends despised Astoria.

He rolled his eyes, "She's in France, shopping with her mother."

Theo snickered, "Blimey! The woman was born to be a pureblood wife."

Draco grimaced but kept quiet, he could hardly deny the truth.

Blaise hid a laugh, "We are surprised to see you mate."

Draco waved his hand casually, "Come off it..."

Theo tapped his chin in thought and mused, "Doesn't Astoria keep your balls in her little purse?"

Draco lunged at him and Theo fell off the chair.

Blaise roared with laughter.

Theo got to his feet and raised his glass, "To Draco, may your balls return...one day."

Draco showed him the finger and sneered.

A sea of brown invaded his space and he looked up expectantly.

The witch turned and offered him a boozy smile and provocative smack of her lips.

For a second, he thought it was Hermione.

Disappointed, Draco hurriedly looked away and stared into his drink.

She occupied his thoughts far more than she should be.

Theo nudged Blaise and they exchanged a knowing grin.

Hermione twirled her wand, making sparks fly out the end.
