Disclaimer (for all chapters here on out): This whole site is a domain of fanfiction. So obviously, I am just a seriously uncool diehard fan of Harry Potter. I don't own it, nor am I profiting from it. (Which makes me feel a little sad, I admit.)
Author's Note: 'A Thousand Words or Less' is all about short stories that I have written that are, quite predictably, a thousand words or less. Drabbles, somewhat. I'll try to post something every week, but in the meantime, reviews are ginormously appreciated...unless you're giving me spam.

Title: It Started With a Knock
Rating: M
Words: 218
There was a knock at his door, so he went to open it, not caring if his shirt was half-buttoned up and wearing his boxer shorts.
But maybe he should've cared.
It was Granger.
"Hey."
"Hi."
For a moment or two they awkwardly stared at each other, wondering if the other was going to speak. Draco bit the bullet.
"I'm sorry – did I forget that we had a date or something?" he asked, confused as to why she was currently on his doorstep.
She gave a small laugh tinged with nerves and smiled up at him. "No, we didn't. I was just in the neighbourhood and thought I'd pop by to say hello."
He let go of the doorknob and ran his fingers through his freshly washed blond hairs. "Oh. Well, okay. Did you want to – "
"Have sex? Because I think we should. Have sex. Because I'm, uh, ready to have sex with you. I'd like to have sex with you, actually. Just – if you wanted to, I mean."
Well that was freakin' brazen of her.
He played it cool and cleared his throat. "So we're you thinking two weeks later, tomorrow, tonight, or – ?"
"Actually, I was thinking right now," she boldly declared as she launched herself on him and slammed the door shut behind them.
