People Watching

by Rayye

This is a collection of short glimpses into the lives of your favourite Harry Potter characters, based on people that I have observed. This is called People Watching, because everything written here is based on people I have watched and felt inspired by.

3. Lovers in Dangerous Times

Lovers in Dangerous Times

'Give me your alarm clock, Harry'

'What?'

'Pass me your blasted clock!'

'Why?'

'Because its incessant ticking is driving me crazy.'

'You can't take the batteries out.'

'And why not?' Draco retorted.

'Because then it wouldn't work,'

'That's the point, isn't it?'

'Not what I mean,' grumbled Harry, who still wasn't fully awake. 'I mean it won't wake us up in the morning. I'll be late for work.'

'Bloody hell, Harry. I'll make sure to wake us up in time. Just give me it!'

'Oh. You can do that? Okay, here. I'll take the batteries out myself.'

'Thank you.'

Inspiration for 'Lovers in Dangerous Times' came from my dorm mate, who had two things: a clock and a watch. Each night, she would take the batteries out of her alarm clock, so it wouldn't tick. Then, in the morning, she would replace the batteries, set the time by her watch, and carry on.

And yes, Draco and Harry are in bed together. This little diddy is occuring with the following in place: Draco and Harry are in a relationship (yes, slash- but this is so mild I didn't bother giving a warning) and they are living in the muggle world (thus the batteries).
