Leather Trousers
He emerged from his bathroom, freshly showered with his clean, damp hair
sticking up every which way. Carefully
and meticulously the seventeen year old dressed himself in the new outfit he
had purchased especially for the occasion.
Stepping in front of the mirror the boy grabbed his wand from the bedside table
and, with the expertise of one well practised in the art of vanity, rivalled
not even by Padma Patil, he swished this way and flicked that way, patiently
perfecting the way his magically dried hair fell around his face, thankful for
the wards that allowed underage magic within Malfoy Manor.
Half an hour later, the blond stepped back from the full-length mirror and
nodded in approval. His reflection
winked and smirked back but somehow this display paled in comparison to a
certain Gilderoy Lockhart who shall remain nameless.
Pocketing the small package on the bed, he raised his wand, closed his eyes and
disappeared with a pop.
*~*~*~*~*
The boy arrived in the hallway outside the smallest bedroom of 4 Privet
Drive milliseconds later. He knocked
sharply on the door and waited. But his
patience did not extend to much outside the state of his appearance and it was
quickly wearing thin by the time the door was flung open.
"Draco!" The brunette launched himself
at the blond and dragged him into the bedroom, shutting the door behind
him. Draco scanned the room critically,
thoroughly appalled by the lack of furniture and abundance of broken Muggle
electronics.
Draco produced a silver disk from his pocket and held it out to Harry in the
palm of his hand. Harry, recognising
the Malfoy crest to be a portkey grasped Draco's hand and waited for the pull
just behind his navel. Two seconds and
hundreds of miles later in the stands of a European Cup Quidditch match in
Italy…
"Holy shit Draco! You're wearing
leather trousers!"
