This was very much fun to write :D
Prompt from LIGHTNSHADOWS: "ferrets named Harry & Draco"
"Those are cute little things…" Greg muttered as he watched two nimble little animals dash to the further end of the couch. "What are their names?"
When no answer came Greg turned his head to look at Mycroft; the man was standing two feet behind, fidgeting and not meeting the DI's eyes. He looked nervous; though Greg had no idea why. Between the two of them Greg should be the one worrying – going to his date's house for the first time.
Mycroft's apartment was lovely, homely and clean. Two ferrets were an unexpected addition to the interior, but they were adorable as they dashed about, one dark grey and the other white.
"Mycroft? I need to know how to call them," Greg said with a smile.
The other man shuffled his feet and coughed before replying quietly. "Harry and Draco." And then his gaze found Greg's, challenging the DI to mock him.
Greg started back, stunned. Then he laughed but hastened to reassure Mycroft. "Sorry, I'm not laughing at you just…the whole situation. I didn't take you for a Harry Potter fan."
Mycroft lifted his chin defiantly. "There are many things you don't know about me."
"True. But I'm hoping you'd tell me all those things one day." Greg replied honestly. "And to be fair, Harry Potter is a great book."
