All right. He's down for the second time. With stern warnings about what will happen if he climbs out of bed again.
Are you going to stay in here all night? Conversation in the Admiral Duncan pub, Soho, London
It's not too loud in here for you, is it?

So I'm sitting here still at work, stuck in a committee meeting that doesn't seem to want to end, and I'm thinking of you, and last Thursday night and wondering if maybe you might think about letting me take you to dinner again?

Draco, just give me my fucking wand and I'll leave. You won't have to deal with me all afternoon.

You know that vase your mother gave you for Christmas? The crystal one? Unlock the stairs or I break it.
I'm not fucking joking. Thinking:

You wanted to spend your birthday with Severus and to hell with what I had planned. We all make choices.
Open the goddamned stairs, Draco. I need my wand for work. Something you don't really know anything about. Thinking:

Unlock this now. Jesus. I can't believe you. Passive-aggressive berk.

What the fuck, you pissy little bastard. There's a lock across the stairs. Magical iron and I can't even summon my fucking wand that's up those bloody stairs and I have to be at my office in an hour so knock it the fuck off. This isn't amusing.

Happy birthday, baby. I'll help you open this later tonight.
Love, Harry -------------------------------------- Tucked inside the note's envelope are tickets to box seats to Tristan und Isolde at the Royal Opera House in London later in the month, along with a suite reservation for the Mandarian Oriental that night. A slip from Henry Poole in Savile Row is included, indicating that final fittings are needed for two bespoke outfits--suits, shirts and ties--one for Mr Draco Malfoy and one for Mr Harry Potter, at their convenience. Beneath the note is a small mahogany box. Carved on top is a lion with an ouroboros wrapped around its torso. The box is locked and impervious to unlocking charms. When the box is tilted, there's the soft clunk of something shifting inside. |
