Prompt: Every Breath You Take by The Police and last minute shopping.

Harry changed his mind. It was much safer to investigate Draco at a distance. He was much too crafty to slip up with Harry sitting right next to him.

'Why are you sitting in the snow?' Draco asked.

Looking up, Harry saw that Draco stood right next to him and not inside the Manor where Harry was sure he'd be so early in the morning. Draco's hedges were not very good had concealing Harry's movements it seemed.

'I, um, slipped?'

'Are you asking me or is that what happened?'

Draco was laughing at that, so Harry was saved from having to answer.

'Come on.' Draco held his hand out to Harry. 'I have some last minute shopping to do. You can come and give me your opinion so I know what not to buy.'

'Jee, thanks.' Harry took Draco's hand and stood up. 'I can't imagine what I'd rather be doing,' Harry said sarcastically.

'Apparently, freezing your arse off on my front lawn.' Draco smirked, causing Harry to blush. Then Draco spelled Harry's clothes dry and asked, 'Side-a-long?'

Day(s) of Investigation: 18
Location: Diagon Alley
Time of Day: Evening
Notable Changes: Smiling and laughing a lot. Grabbing onto me more than usual.
Subject's Movements: Shopping and laughing at simple things. Touching a lot of things he has no intention of buy, but not stealing any of it like he used to.
Weather: Surprisingly sunny.

Harry would have to investigate this weather thing more because Draco's good mood was certainly having an effect on the weather. It was rarely sunny this time of year and there Draco was throwing his head back and laughing with the sun's rays shining off his bright white hair.

'Harry?' A surprised female voice caught Harry off guard. He turned to see Hermione with Luna both carrying a stack of books. 'Are you two shopping together?' She looked back and forth between Harry and Draco like she couldn't believe her eyes.

He didn't know where his voice disappeared to, but Draco spoke up for them.

'Of course, and we were just headed to get something to eat. Would you like to join us?'

Hermione's expression suggested she was sure if that was a genuine offer or not, and Harry was just as unsure of it himself. He still thought that Draco was playing a complicated game by bringing Harry along with him places to begin with.

'Oh, it is getting late,' Luna said, and then made the decision for them. 'We'd love to.'

Often having dinner with Luna was on its own was a surreal experience, but adding Draco to it made Harry question how in touch his was with reality. They were chatting as if they were old friends. The only thing that made Harry certain his sanity was intact was that Hermione looked just as confused as he did.

'How long have you two . . . been friends?' Hermione asked.

'Oh,' Luna said with a smile. 'Since I was being held at the Manor.'

Harry looked to see Draco's reaction to that, but he didn't seem to be phased by it. Although, Luna was the least judgemental person Harry had ever met, so even though they all knew what time she was talking there wasn't a feeling of unease when she mentioned it.

'He came to visit me and brought us food.'

Hermione and Harry shared a look. Luna always focused on the small good things about people while ignoring the bad. Draco was probably sent with the food and hadn't wanted anything to do with her. Yet, that wasn't how he treated her then.

Of course, his side lost. Clinging to Luna, who was on the right side of the war, could only work to his advantage.

Maybe this friendship was something that Harry needed to explore further. Luna was too trusting, but that could work to Harry's advantage as much as it had worked to Draco's.
