The Consequences of Boredom!
And I don't own any thing you may recognize, it's all J.K Rowling's wonderful work, kudos to her and her strange labyrinth of a mind.

888The Ten Toads888
Malfoy looked around the derelict establishment he now stood inside with a look of disgust. "Well, this is the Ten Toads; it's a place for magical beings to go to when using magical transportation. Sort of like the Leaky Cauldron." Harry explained noticing the look on Malfoy's face.
The place was terribly in need of renovations, the walls were covered in peeling, faded old wallpaper. The floors were so dirty that you could not tell whether you were standing on floor boards or tiles. There was a grimy, lopsided bar, with a bartender to match. The windows were so dirty that no light came in form the street light right outside. The only light source was from candles on the rickety old tables and few torches held by rusty metal brackets on the walls. The tables and chairs were as old and derelict as the rest of the pub, with the paint non-existent, and dust so thick that when the occasional placing down of a glass on to the table, it did not make the normal chink sound but a soft thud, and every time the glass was lowered a small cloud of dust would rise up around it.
After a minute of looking around Malfoy looked at the brunette who he was standing next to and noticed that their fingers were still interlocked. He smiled when he realized that he had nothing against holding hands with Harry, and Harry didn't seem to mind either, Malfoy then looked up and noticed that Harry had been looking at him, both blushed slightly, Harry for getting caught looking at Malfoy so closely, and Malfoy for being caught smiling at the fact that they had continued to hold hands.
They kept their eyes locked for another moment until Harry said quietly, "Come on. We'd better get going before it's too late." And with that he headed for the door, pulling Malfoy along behind him. Once they were out the door and out on the cool street, they turned right until they got to a small restaurant. The shop had a small patio like thing out the front where some tables and chairs were set up. They were painted red and had green satin cushions on the seat of the chair. The building was red brick, and above the patio was a small cover for protection form the rain. It was a creamy colour, and the area was light up by coloured Chinese lights hanging across the makeshift ceiling. The doors were large and glass. The frames were painted blood red and had pictures of dragons on them in silver frost.
Inside was similar to outside, the tables and chairs were the same, and there were windows on the side walls that were the same style as the door. There was a red door on the back wall that waiters and waitresses would walk through occasionally (presumably the kitchen). On the left wall there were two doors next to each other which had signs on each showing they were the toilets. The walls were all cream and the floor boards were rich red wood. There was a counter at the front of the restaurant where a waitress was standing behind. They asked for a table for two and at first it looked like she was going to deny them one since it was almost full but then she realised that it was Harry Potter that they were serving and gave them a table up the back. Once they were seated, she came back with a menu and told them to call when they were ready to order.

Over dinner they talked about every thing, from quidditch to school work, favourite foods (Chocolate Frogs) to least favourite teachers at Hogwarts (Snape for Harry and all but Snape for Malfoy). The conversation was light and about nothing really, things got really interesting though once they began talking about magical abilities, well animagus forms to be specific which was when desert came; banana split, ice cream and warm caramel sauce for Harry, while Malfoy had deep fried ice cream with chocolate sauce.
"Well, Harry" they had started calling each other by first names some where in the middle of dinner. "We have talked about mostly everything, but there is one thing that I still want to know, and that is, what animagus form would the golden boy, Harry Potter have?"
"Well, first of all, don't call me golden boy, and second, my animagus form is a shadow wolf, "And after seeing the confused look on Draco's face he elaborated "Which is basically a black wolf that is able to move from shadow to shadow, sort of like portraits, they have sharp claws and usually blue eyes, except me, and of coarse mine is green eyed, always distinguishable, even when not human, weird isn't it? Any way I've told you mine, what's yours?" Harry said nonchalantly.
"… well my form is of a white panther, mine isn't magical but I can run faster then a normal panther, we haven't figured out why yet though." Draco said simply, still slightly in awe at Harry's wondrous form.
"Hmm, I'd rather some thing like that, something normal and that doesn't stand out so much, but I have to admit, it is cool to be able to transport so easily and soundlessly." Harry said with a teasing grin.
"Oh sod off!" Draco said with a grin.

Once dinner was over, they paid and walked out of the restaurant and started to make their way back to the Ten Toads to go some where else, on the way they began talking again, when the conversation veered to the topic of relationships.
"So Harry, you got a girlfriend?" Draco questioned.
"Umm, no I haven't, to tell you the truth I haven't since 5th year when I went out with Cho Chang. But after her I soon realised that I was attracted to guys" Harry said trailing off at the end.
Next thing he knew he felt a pair of arms wrap themselves around his waist, he looked up questioningly into the eyes of the owner of the arms. "Looks like we have something in common then" Draco said with a smirk, and with that he captured Harry's lips with his own.
