Draco POV
Yesterday had been, simply put, amazing. I had never expected him to take the initial control. Oh, well. Next time it would be Harry who would be in for the surprise.
That Sunday was spent just hanging out. Me stealing kisses from Harry, Harry stealing kisses from me. All in all I felt the weekend had been a success.
That week flew by and the next thing I knew it was Saturday again. And a Hogsmeade weekend. I was a little nervous as Harry and I would be going out in public. Which just about guaranteed it wouldn't be much longer before my father found out about us. I guess I was as ready as I'd ever be.
That morning I met Harry in the courtyard and we got in line to be checked out to go into Hogsmeade. "So," I asked him, "What do you want to do first?"
"Well, you know the Wesley twins have opened their joke shop, right?" I nodded. "I haven't seen it yet, and I'd really like to see their place."
Now I really didn't care for the Weasleys,-although I could respect the twins obvious disrespect for the rules-but I knew how much Harry loved the family, and if I wanted any shot at something long term with him, I'd have to learn to deal with them. "Sure, sounds good," I said, plastering a smile on my face.
It wasn't very hard to find their shop, as most of the school knew they had opened. And since most of them had had pranks pulled on them by the twins at one time or another in the past, they expected great things. The place was packed as Harry and I stepped in. Harry took my hand to ensure we didn't get separated.
"Harry, mate!" one of the twins called out to him. "Come, step into our office," they said with a grin. Damned if I could tell which one it was. "Ah, and Malfoy. The man responsible for getting our little brother's panties in a twist!" the other one said, stepping out from behind the checkout counter. "Good job, mate," the first one said. "We do so enjoy…" "…Our brother's panties being twisted," the second one finished.
Harry laughed as I grimaced. I really didn't want to think about the Weasel's undergarments, twisted or not. I recovered and said, smirking, "Yes, well, I do what I can."
"Good…" "…Man." It was really unnerving how they finished each other's sentences like that.
"So, Harry. What can we get for you?" one of them asked. I had already forgotten which I had assigned as number one and number two.
Harry shrugged. "I don't know, we just came to look around."
"Well, whatever you and your boy tow want…" I glared at the one who said that. "…it's on the house," the other finished. "We owe you…" "…so much."
Harry blushed. "It was no big deal. It's not like I needed it." I raised an eyebrow questioningly at Harry. "Oh, I gave them my winnings from the Tri-Wizard Tournament," he explained. "I have more than enough money for three lifetimes. And I felt this was a worthy cause," he said, smirking at the twins. "Well, I guess we'll just look around, and I'll tell you what we've taken before we leave."
"Not a problem, Mate…" "…Not a problem at all."
Harry and I spent the next couple hours playing with all the different thins they had. I had to give the Weasley twins credit, they were inventive. Finally we chose the stuff we wanted and after saying goodbye to the twins, headed back outside.
"So, where to now?" I asked Harry.
"Lunch?" he asked raising one eyebrow.
"Three Broomsticks?" I asked in return.
"Perfect," he said grinning.
We "reducio'd" the stuff we had so it would fit in our pockets. I grabbed Harry's hand as we rounded the corner. That's when I saw HIM.
A/N: I am soooo sorry for the long delay! I hit a road block, but have worked around it. Now I might even make it into a trilogy! That is, if I get enough reviews. ;)
