"Stupid Potter, stupid Weasel, stupid Granger, stupid everything." Draco muttered angrily to himself, rubbing his gloved hands together for a better chance at warmth.

"Can you stop saying that," Potter snapped, "It's no one's fault but your own that we're stuck in this situation."

"If you had kept your mouth shut…"

"You were being a prat…"

"I am never a prat, you sodding git."

"Dammit," Potter yelled, "Just help me find those plants Snape wanted!"

"You can find that shite by yourself," Draco sniffed, eyes narrowed at a stubborn root. He kicked at it over and over, before finally slipping and falling on his back in the snow. His back and sides were soon soaked, and he whimpered at the depth of cold.

"Malfoy," Potter cried out. He bent over and forced the other teen up, casting a Warming Charm over him. "Why did you do that?"

"Because I'm pissed off, cold, and just cannot stand you."

"Nice to know that I'm loved," though Draco had his head ducked into his scarf, he could still feel Potter's eyes rolling, and he sniffed unhappily. That sniff soon turned into a full-blown sneeze, and he realised the Charm was wearing off.

"You aren't particularly skilled at those types, are you?"

"No, not really," Potter said, before putting his arms around Draco. Draco froze incredulously, arms at his sides.

"What are you doing?"

"Cuddling for warmth."

"Don't do that."

"You need it."

"No, I do not."

"Do you want to try and catch your death out here? Just fucking put your arms around me and cuddle!" Potter grumbled from the vicinity of Draco's shoulder.

The blond, despite himself, knew that if he didn't take advantage of this opportunity, he probably wouldn't ever get it again; thus, led to the awkward situation.

A few seconds later, the warmth created between their bodies started to sink in and Draco unconsciously sighed contently.

He felt the vibration of Potter's chest before he heard the chuckles, and tensed slightly.

"Why are you laughing?"

"This situation is hilarious."

"No, it isn't."

"Malfoy."

"What?"

"Just shut up."

And with that, Draco totally didn't enjoy this once-in-a-lifetime chance. Not at all.
