Harry shuffled his feet nervously. 'Hey…Draco?'
'What is it, Harry?'
'Would you like to…' Looking at Draco's handsome face, Harry felt a pang of defeat. Draco must have had hundreds of people chasing after him, yet he never dated, at least according to Harry's knowledge. There was no chance he'd say yes to scrawny little him. 'Never mind.'
'No. You've caught my attention now, Potter. You better tell me what you're thinking about.'
'Well…'
'Yes?'
'We've just closed the case, haven't we?'
Draco gave Harry a half-exasperated, half-incredulous stare. 'Of course we have Harry. Why do you think we've been doing paperwork for the past eight hours? For fun?'
'Well…I was thinking that since we don't have anything to work on right now…'
'Just spit it out Potter.'
'Wouldyouliketogotodinnerwith me?'
'What? Say that once again please, slowly this time.'
'Would…would you like to have dinner with me tonight?'
'What, like a celebration for closing the case? Don't we go out for drinks to do that?'
'No,' Harry said bashfully, 'I was thinking more like a date.'
'You're asking me on a date?'
'Oh – oh well then, forget I said anything.'
As Harry made to leave, Draco caught hold of his hand. 'I never said no, Harry.'
'Then -?'
'I'd love to go out with you.'
