The Truth Will Out (Advent Drabble 17)
"Or something like this," Draco replied.
Harry let that sink in.
"Does that mean that you were getting fed up of broom cupboards and dark corners as well?"
Draco frowned and Harry was pretty sure the other wizard was mentally berating himself for letting yet more information slip out.
"I may have mentioned it a couple of time, yes," Draco finally admitted.
Harry's cheeks ached at the smile that broke over his face. Of course a Slytherin would never make the obvious first move.
Negotiations (Advent Drabble 18)
"So," Harry said when he finally managed to control the smile, "where do we go from here?""Well, how attached are you to your dingy little flat?" Draco asked.
"It's not dingy," Harry protested, "well not very dingy."
It had been going cheap when he needed a place near to work.
"That's doesn't answer the question."
"Not very," he admitted.
"How do you feel about the Manor?"
"I haven't seen it since ..." he didn't need to elaborate.
"It's changed a lot and my parents live abroad."
"Okay then."
"Good, would you like your own rooms or to share mine?"
The Practicalities (Advent Drabble 19)
"Um," Harry didn't really know what to say to that. "Right now?"
"Well, soon," Draco replied. "The minimum suitable engagement would be about a month because everyone will assume we've been shagging anyway. Then there's the ceremony, but you could move in straight away. You'd have to pretend to have your own rooms at first for appearances sake, but you don't have to use them if you don't want to."
Harry felt lighter than air. He still couldn't shift the stupid smile.
"Okay," he said, because he wasn't a Gryffindor for nothing.
Maybe the polish fumes were getting to him.
The Whole Truth? (Advent Drabble 20)
"We'll have to put an announcement in the papers," Draco mused and Harry could almost see the mental checklist."We should tell our friends and families first," Harry pointed out.
"Well, if you insist," Draco grudgingly agreed. "But you can never tell anyone about this."
Draco gestured at the broom cupboard.
"And why not?"
"It's just not dignified."
"But it is kind of funny, especially since we were basically set up by your wife."
Draco scowled.
"You can't."
"Not even Ron and Hermione?"
Draco shook his head firmly.
"What's it worth?" Harry asked and his smile morphed into a grin.
