Prompt #29 Cute

Draco/Fem-Harry

Quick Explaination: Elizabeth is Fem-Harry. No offense, but I feel like calling her Harriet is the easy way out. (I doubt James was like, if it's a boy Harry, and if it's a girl Harriet. Lily would look at him like he's bonkers. I get it if she was born Harry and wants to switch to Harriet because of accidental!sex-change. But James would likely go for something more... regal. He is still a pureblood down inside and would have named her after the traditions of his family) /rant.

"I think you're cute" the girl smiled at him

"My name is Draco Malfoy, and Malfoys are not 'cute'"

The girl giggled at him. "Well MY name is Elizabeth Meissa Potter and I say you ARE cute. My word is final."

Draco glared indignantly at the black haired, green eyed creature that had the impertinence to smirk at him.

"Beth! Beth!" A voice called out, and Draco saw a slender woman with light brown hair and those same clear green eyes.

"Yes mother?" Elizabeth turned and faced her mother's advance.

"Come along. We have much to do."

"Yes, ma'am." She turned back to Draco, both children unaware of Narcissa Malfoy becoming reacquainted with a former housemate and the 'girl who kept James Potter from making a grave mistake'.

"Draco, you stay cute until you get to Hogwarts, ok?"

Draco rolled his eyes. "I do what I please."

However, Draco did watch as the mysterious girl flounced off after her mother, not sparing a glance back at him.

Beth's braids bounced on her back as she walked up the compartments, looking for the blonde from six years ago. Suddenly she saw a flash of white hair and followed it. She entered the compartment, seeing her prize just settling down on the bench.

"You kept your promise."

Draco scrunched his face, confused. "My promise?"

Beth nodded, not bothered in the least that he didn't seem to remember. "I made you promise to stay cute. You did."

Draco smiled. "I made no such promise." Seeing Elizabeth's face fall he continued. "But I will promise that I will stay cute until we graduate if you promise me one thing in return."

Elizabeth leaned in. "What's that?"

Draco whispered it in her ear, and Elizabeth smiled.

Draco stretched out in the compartment, Elizabeth's head on his shoulder and her hand in his.

"I can't believe we're heading home, and that we'll be bonded over Yule." She whispered.

"I am excited, Elizabeth." Draco smiled.

Elizabeth's head shot up. "Elizabeth? Draco you never call me that." She pouted. "Did I do something?"

Draco chuckled. "No, but you are cute when you pout. I just wanted to get used to saying your full name. Mother doesn't usually approve of shortening names."

Elizabeth rolled her eyes. "Please. She's met me before. How many summers have we spent attending parties and such together?"

"I know darling. But this is different. This time you are meeting as her daughter-in-law, rather than a family friend."

Elizabeth smiled. "You're so cute when you're concerned."

"Well I had to keep my promise." Draco responded.

"And now I'm keeping mine." Elizabeth replied.
