Chapter four

Once again chewing his lip ring, a horrible nervous habit he'd caught on from a past significant other, Harry prayed to any deity to be struck by a lightning bolt; or even better the person across of him to be, who wouldn't shut up. Malfoy had refused to silence for the past half an hour after not getting his questions answered. Harry wondered who the hell he'd pissed off in a past life. Maybe the chocolate drops had caused some weird reaction?

"And went to Italy last year, Venice… did you know the whole city has like sunk, makes you wonder if Atlantis is real!"

Restraining from repeatedly bashing his head against the table, instead he took a sip from his fourth coffee. It was caffeinated, yet still Harry had to refrain from falling asleep due to Malfoy's rambling. He could rival Bins!

"As pleasant as this catching up is, I really have to be places", Malfoy said arrogantly, while Harry just looked on ludicrously.

"You made me suffer though… "Harry looked at his well worn watch, "two hours and a half of you telling me how much you were a social butterfly, just to have better places to go!"

Putting a wad of cash on the mahogany table and smirking Draco replied, "You didn't have to stay Potter".

Storming back to his flat, his sketchbook snugly underneath his right arm, Harry angrily ranted about stupid albino ferrets that sometimes had the tenancy to bounce a few feet into the air.

After searching in his jeans pockets for awhile, Harry managed to grasp a fag from the crumpled packet inside, and grip his faithful lighter. Lighting it, a small flame was produced and he quickly inhaled as he pressed the fag against it. The beginnings of smoke curled, and blew away in the wind; and slowly Harry felt the built up stress from his meeting with Malfoy disappear as he had one of the fasted smokes of his entire life. His housemate didn't particularly appreciate him doing in the flat due to being a recovering smoker.

Throwing the butt of the fag onto the floor, he kicked out the last embers, and fumbled around for his keys in his pocket. Keeping them in his right hand, he quickly climbed the stone steps to his cheap apartment, and opened the door.

"What the hell is wrong with you", can an annoyed voice from within a bedroom. Sighing that this was not what he need right now, Harry followed the voice to find his long time room mate.

Derek Samuels was Harry's room mate, and had been for several years. They'd met at university and slowly become more that just friends, but later reverted back into a platonic relationship. It was more comfortable to rant about other partners together, then to other friends about each other.

"So… what's up?"

A mop of bleach blonde hair popped out of a cocoon on quilt. Derek had late night shifts at the nearby garage, and usually slept in late in the mornings, or now it was the afternoon.

"Draco Malfoy…"

An uncomfortable silence reigned in the room, as Harry allowed Derek to process what he said. He could almost see the cogs working in his head as he tried to connect Malfoy to what he had previously told him of his past life.

"Ferret boy… you said you liked the platinum blonde hair", Derek squealed rather amused, "You later admitted that you had a weakness for blondes, hence moi", he laughed, sticking out his tongue.

Harry sighed, "One I like all hair, whatever gave you that impression? Two you're not even natural! Three, Malfoy was a complete jackass at school, so this situation is not good at all. I just spent most of my day listening to him blather on about where he's travelled too!"

"Well you didn't have to stay did you?" Derek replied.

"… GAH!"

I'm sorry for not updating in a long while, I've had mocks, coursework and I'm trying to write some of my own original stuff… I feel it's a lot better than my Harry potter stuff, so I'm trying to stick with it…

Plus I get writers block rather often, and I find myself writing down more ideas when I should be continuing other stuff. I know this isn't as long as I'd like to be, or as good, but at the mo it's the best I can do…

Please read and review, reviewing does admittedly help me get more inspiration :P

Chow for now!
