Hello, and welcome to Underneath It All, a drabble collection for the wonder that is Drarry! The drabble prompts come from a list of words that I randomly selected.
I am a bit of a novice writer in this fandom, and certainly in the Drarry ship. So con crit is tremendously helpful, especially critiques on my dialogue, about which I never feel confident.
So… with housekeeping stuff out of the way, on to the first drabble! It's not my best, unfortunately; I have others that are better, but this was the first prompt...
Hope you enjoy anyway!

Verb
Draco returned to the den, pretzels in his hand, to find Harry playing with that ridiculous Muggle yo-yo. He personally couldn't see the appeal of bobbing a piece of plastic around on a string, but Harry obviously did. He saw rather too much appeal in it, which was why Draco had confiscated it earlier in the day.
Placing the pretzel bowl on the table, he asked, "How did you get that?"
"I Accioed it," Harry said, flicking his wrist to draw the yo-yo into his hand.
"Excuse me?"
"You know, pointed my wand, said some words, it came whizzing through the air."
"I'm quite aware of how a Summoning Spell works," he said haughtily. "What I meant was, why use the word 'Accioed'?"
"That's what I did, isn't it?" Harry said, eyes still fixed on the toy.
"No, you summoned it. You can't just turn the incantation for a spell into a verb."
"It's easier that way," Harry replied, a bit defensively.
"Perhaps, but it's not correct."
Harry shrugged. "Well, it sounds rather pompous to go around saying this like, 'I performed a Summoning Spell to acquire this yo-yo.'"
"It certainly does not!" Draco said, beginning to lose patience. "Anyway, Accioed just sounds stupid. What would you say if I told you I was out Expelliarmusing today?" He said the word scornfully, but Harry's response was infuriatingly bright.
"I'd ask why you were attacked so many times. Oh, look, I'm walking the dog!" He looked up delightedly, gesturing to the yo-yo hovering near the floor.
"What, not Wingardium Leviosing it?" he asked sourly.
"Draco, that's Ridikkulus," Harry said, amused.
If hadn't been so undignified, Draco would have let slip an exasperated "ugh!" Instead he merely sighed. Heavily.
"You look like you just got Impedimentaed," Harry said, trying hard not to laugh.
Draco glared and swooped the pretzels out of Harry's reach when the brunette reached for them. At this Harry finally did laugh. "You can't eat all of those. It'll look like you're Engorgioing yourself."
That one was a little too forced, and Draco narrowed his eyes. "You're doing this purposefully to vex me, aren't you?"
"Yep," said Harry cheerfully, finally abandoning the yo-yo. "You're just so adorable when you're flustered."
Despite all of his efforts to resist, Draco's mouth quirked up into a small smile.
A/N: I don't generally like immature!Harry, but that was the idea I got for this prompt… meh. Reviews are like Cheering Charms to me!
