Rating: K+
Warnings: Slash, as usual, if it's not your cup of tea..
Summary: Snapshots of a life Remus and Draco could have had, given the choice. Inspired by the song, "Where Do We Go From Here?" from the BtVS musical episode.
Author Note: Nothing much to say here, except that these drabbles came from an idea I had for a Remus/Draco story that never came to fruition. If anything is confusing, feel free to ask about it.
PS. Each drabble is set to a certain lyric from the above mentioned song.
"Understand/We'll go hand in hand/"
" I can't do it."
Draco looked over at Remus and, though the urge to smack him is strong, he resisted. He was a Malfoy, after all, and one need not resort to physical violence if manipulation would work.
Though of course, Remus had always seemed to be immune to Draco's usual methods of manipulation, and since they were in the middle of a very public street, his unusual methods of manipulation would be considered very inappropriate, and most likely illegal. Which wasn't really a problem, but the last time Draco had attempted his special brand of manipulation in public, Remus, and the staff at Flourish & Blotts, had become very cross.
So that was out as well.
Pity. Draco thought, but continued to puzzle out the problem.
In the end, Draco decided on the truth, since he could think of nothing else.
" If you don't go in, he's going to hate you forever."
The reaction was immediate; Remus' nostrils flared, and his tawny eyes darkened with resolve.
Draco would liked to have been able to say that he hated playing on Remus' emotions like he did( Which, when it came to Remus, was usually true), but in this instance the ends justified the means, and he had no regrets.
He felt Remus's hand tug out of his, and even though Draco wanted to go in with him, he knew this was something Remus should do on his own. He smiled in what he hoped was a reassuring way at Remus, who returned it somewhat anxiously before turning and walking determinedly towards the house.
The last thing Draco heard before he Apparated back home was a door opening and the word he knew Remus was so desperate to hear.
"Daddy?"
