The day had started out normal enough. Danny had woken up, went to work and like usual. He worked at a small bookstore that, in all honesty, didn't get busy often. There would be one or two customers every once in a while, but that's what he got for not working at a big name store.

So instead, to pass the time he would talk to his co-workers. One of those co-workers being a guy named Andrew who looked exactly like the kind of guy who would work at a book store. It definitely helped that the guy read and even wrote books. Books that were actually sold in said store. Danny had read some of them and secretly, he was probably one of Andrew's biggest fans. Not that he would tell the guy though.

Usually during slow times they casually talked about the simple things and just stayed at being those awkward casual friends who talked daily, but they barely actually knew that much about each other.

That was until Danny randomly brought up Harry Potter. It was nice because usually, they never actually found anything they were both simultaneously interested in passionately. Danny would love to talk about Andrew's writing seeing as he hid his secret love for it, that wasn't happening anytime soon. So when they found that topic it was like the tension for finding topics to talk about was broken.

And eventually replaced with a new kind of tension. "Oh come on. Clockwork would not be a Ravenclaw! He's such a Slytherin and you know it!" Danny argued when they had brought up the topic of houses and who in their joined social circles would be in. Currently they were arguing about their boss. They had agreed easily with most of them but evidently not this one.

"No way! Clockwork is definitely a Ravenclaw!"

Danny glared at Andrew and all of a sudden yelled. "Clockwork!"

It took a moment, but soon after the cranky voice of their boss growled. "What? What do you want?"

Danny crossed his arms and frowned, looking over at Clockwork. "Are you a Slytherin or a Ravenclaw. I say the former but Andrew here says the latter. Which one of us are right?"

Clockwork choked and stared at Andrew like he was an alien. "Are you serious? Ravenclaw? I am not a Ravenclaw. Daniel's right. I'm a Slytherin through and through. Now for the love of god stop arguing and go home. You're scaring what little customers I have. Besides, It's just about closing time."

The two were shocked that it had gotten so late but nodded. "Well now that it's late, I demand you take me to dinner." Danny all of a sudden said and Andrew's eyes widened.

"Wait- What? Are you...asking me on a date or something?"

Danny considered it for a moment and quickly nodded his head. "Yes. Yes I think I am. Despite your terrible ability to be a sorting hat, I like you. And I would like to get to know you more than just your passion for Harry Potter."

Andrew just nodded as they walked out of their work with their things and they both couldn't help think that it was the start of something wonderful.
