"Come on, Draco!" whispered Blaise. "It's been so long since you broke up with Astoria. You need to move on."
"I am still not sure, Blaise..."
He sighed when he heard his best friend's answered. "Come!" said Blaise as he brought him to the bar. "Let's play a game."
"Game?"
"Yeah. It's called 'Hi! Have you met, Draco?'"
"Huh?"
And with a quick whisk, he tapped some woman on the shoulder and said, "Hi! Have you met Draco?", before he went away and left them alone.
The girl looked confused at the two and it was awkward for a second, but Draco did try to break the ice, "Um.. Hi!"
"Let me guess... Draco?" said the girl with confidence, to which Draco only responded with a smile.
He tried to be polite and stretch out his hand, in which the black-haired girl accepted his handshakes. "Malfoy. Draco Malfoy. And you are?"
"It's Harry. . ."
"Harry. . ?"
". . .et. Harriet! Harriet Dursley. Nice to meet you!"
"Nice to meet you too. Ehm. . . Have we met before? You look somehow familiar."
"NO. NO. I'm kind of new around here."
"Oh. Okay. Um. . . So, what do you do?"
"I. . . just got a job in the Ministry. How about you?"
"Potion-making business."
"Cool!"
"Anyway, what're you doing in the ministry?"
"Uh-I..."
"I happened to know some people there and if you need my help, maybe I can introduce you to someone."
The girl seemed not comfortable and hesitated when she heard this. "Er- I don't think that would be necessary."
And Draco could see that whatever he said before had somehow offended the girl.
"I-I am sorry. It's just. . . It's been a long time since I talk with a girl."
"Oh. I see."
"Ah-Uhm..." Draco was stuttering as he got nervous and tried so hard to remember some pick up line he ever heard of.
Trying his best to look confident, he leaned into the bar and spurt out the first pick up line that came into his mind.
The first.
Not the best.
"Hey, have you heard of platform 9 and ¾? Well, I can think of something else with the exact same measurements. . ."
Draco's cheeks reddened when he realized what he just said.
It was far more red than anyone ever saw, just like someone has brushed red paint on his cheeks. Very contrasting and yet amusing.
And, instead of cruel or sassy replies, she let out a laugh.
It's uncontrollable, loud, and stress free.
A very unladylike laugh and she barely could stop it.
And there's no hint of shame at all in his face when he saw her laughing like that. The fact that this girl enjoyed his pick up line was really worth the shame he had when he said those words.
Her laugh is completely perfectly imperfect. Yet it made him feel whole.
And at that time, when he's with her, Astoria did not in the slightest come across his mind.
There's tears down on her face and her sides were hurt when she finally stopped laughing. It was a good-awkward moment for half an hour that both enjoyed.
"Well, Draco... Do you know that there's a four-storey apartment above this bar?" asked her.
He shook his head and she leaned closer and whispered into his ear, "come to room 201 and we'll prove your exact measurements, Mr Malfoy."
She gave him a wink before heading back to the door and disappearing from his sight.
Draco's brain is still processing things as he seems to be flustered, when Blaise sneaks up behind him and encourages him, "What are you waiting for, man?! She just invited you to her place. Go!"

Hermione was walking toward none other than Harry James Potter's office.
She walks at a fast pace and everyone who sees her can see that she's not happy. Nor even have a mood to be there.
The door swung open when she kicked it. A much more effective way to open a door rather than the Alohomora spell.
She found him examining some documents when she barged in. "Hermione! Do you mind knocking first?"
Looking as angry as ever, she managed to speak as calmly as ever. "Harry, don't you have something to say to me?"
"About what?"
"The disguise mission where I sent you with Mr Bell. "
"Er- nothing happened. Why?"
"So, you see. . . I had just received the medical examination of you and Mr Bell, as well as the result and effectiveness of the potion that you guys drank for the mission. And do you wanna guess what I found as the result?"
"No. . .?"
"The result says that you're 3 weeks pregnant! Congratulations! You still don't have anything to tell me, Harry?!"
"Uh-I. . . Ugh-"
"Harry! We've warned you about the hormonal problem that is the effect of the allagí fýlou potion! It'll make you easily aroused and all you need to do is drink the pill to repress the urge."
"I drink that! And how could that even be possible?! I turn back into a guy, doesn't it mean that the womb and the baby supposedly never exist after I turn back?!" Harry said in frustration.
"Harry, we never had this kind of a case before. A case where you had sex under the effects of potion and it makes us totally blind regarding this matter. And when we see details of your baby, we see that there's a bit of spark in there that's not human. Which partly could explain why it could survive, due to it's magic level."
Harry kept silent along with Hermione's explanation. He tried so hard to process everything and she tried to gather herself before confronting him, "Harry. . . Whose the other dad?"
"Malfoy."
"Lucius?"
"No. It's Draco Malfoy."

*ding-a-ling*
A sound of a small bell was heard as someone walked into the store.
The sign hanging on the door was showing that it's closed. But with the unlocked door, Harry was deliberately walking in there.
He just went in and walked into the room where he knew Draco would be.
The blonde man was checking some ingredients on the shelves, when he realized that Harry was already in the same room with him.
"Potter! Ever heard of knocking?"
"Shut it. We need to talk, Draco."
"Talk then," said Draco as he took another jar of bezoar and wrote something on it, while he still has his back on Harry and seems like he had no interest at all for Harry or for anything that he'll say.
"I am pregnant. . . And you are the father. . ." said Harry, and he continued when he saw that Draco didn't give any reaction to what he just said. "And since it seems like you dont care at all, I am planning on aborting this pregnancy. If you, in any ca-"
When Draco heard the word 'abort', he quickly turned to Harry and said "Don't you dare abort it, Potter."
"Finally! A reaction!"
"You said that to get a reaction from me?!"
"No! I am serious when I say I want to abort it! And why don't you look surprised when I say I am pregnant? DID YOU KNEW THIS ALREADY?"
"I-Um- Kind a. . ."
"WHO TOLD YOU?"
"No one. "
"Then, how could you kno-"
"I knew that was you, Harry! That night. . . in that bar. . . I knew all along that it was you."
"And you still slept with me!?"
"YES! And do you know why?! It was all because I realized that when I was with you, I saw no Astoria. NOT AT ALL! And along those years in Hogwarts, those resentment toward you... it's all just me showing you that I am interested in you."
"Draco..."
"And after those years, I gave up on you and ended up with Astoria. Then you came again! Just in time when I broke up with her. And you wanna know why I knew that it was the Bloody Potter that I slept with?!" by this point Draco was already tightly grabbing Harry by his arms.
"Because I saw your scars!" His hand was moving lower and taking Harry's hands into his. He continued speaking without missing a single beat.
"The potion you drank did indeed change your sex and some physical appearance, but it won't change certain things, including scars and eye colour. And that night. . . It was not only the one famous scar on your forehead hidden by your bangs, or your distinctive eye colour that made me realize that it was you. But also the scars on the back of your left and right hand that you got from Umbridge. And the long cut that's in the exact length and position as my Dark Mark."
"Those scars are yours! Yet, I still want you that night, Harry. . ." seeing there's no reaction from Harry who's now lowering his head, Draco continues. "And I intend to do so much more with you." He cupped Harry's face so he could see those green eyes, "so please... Don't abort the baby."
Upon hearing Draco's plea, Harry felt a little weight shift in his heart. And as he saw those light grey eyes, he knew that Draco was telling no lies. "So what now? We raise a kid together?"
"Only if you wish it, Harry."

First. The game and the bold words are not mine. Those came from the one and only Barney Stinson.
Second. (αλλαγή φύλου) allagí fýlou is the greek name of the potion that's literally means sex change.]
