Summary: It's story time. Summary style.
"Well, Potter, seeing as I didn't undergo a full sex change you've only got the one spot to chose from," Malfoy said. "I take it you've never shagged anyone up the arse though."
Harry shook his head as his face heated up. Honestly he had thought he got past feeling awkward about sex but he supposed this was new territory. It was more awkward than when he Hermione and Ron had found Mr and Mrs Granger in Australia... on a nude beach.
"We don't have to do anything you know," Malfoy said. "This is the first we've spoken in years, and probably the first we've done so amicably –for this long at least. We could settle for catching up."
"Right, okay. Well, if you've kept up with the Daily Prophet you'd basically have an idea of my life," he said. "Ginny and I didn't work out, I got a little reckless for a while, my friends pulled an intervention, I eventually got into Magizoology with Luna and that's what I've been doing since. That and dating people that ran to the papers surprisingly quickly. Your turn."
"Hmmm, should I try for summarizing the way you did?" Malfoy asked.
"I don't mind listening," Harry shrugged, as he kicked his shoes off. He pulled his legs up sat cross-legged. "I'm pretty curious actually."
"Of course you are," Malfoy nodded. "When have you not been?"
"I had legitimate-"
"Yes, yes," Malfoy said, waving her hand dismissively and then clearing her throat. "Once upon a time there was a little boy named Draco-"
"Oh yes, definitely a summary," he muttered.
"Shhh," she hushed. "He was different from the other boys –he played with his mother's things, tried on her clothes, pretended he was a girl. It was wrong. His father didn't approve and so he was punished. He became a bitter little brat that tried to be normal. And one day he just couldn't do it anymore. She couldn't. A friend found her before she did anything stupid and with their support she decided to try being herself, instead of just her father's son. It's a simplified retelling..."
"It had everything it needed," he said. "That friend was..."
"Blaise."
