hogwarts365 Prompt 234- "Carry out a random act of kindness, with no expectation of reward, safe in the knowledge that one day someone might do the same for you." Princess Diana, Aberration, Capacious
Notes: Just a random little thing. I hope readers enjoy it.
Summary: Draco attempts a random act of kindness.
“Could I get you a coffee, Potter?”
“Why, Malfoy?”
“Do I need a reason?”
“Yes.”
“You look like you need it.”
“I’ve never known you to perform random acts of kindness, Malfoy.”
“Well, as they say, there is a first time for everything. I’m attempting to turn over a new leaf, if you’ll allow me.”
“Oh, go on then.”
“How do you take it?”
“Black.”
“That is a surprise. I thought all Gryffindors took cream and sugar.”
“Most of them do. But not me. I got used to it black during the summers.”
“You are a walking aberration, aren’t you Potter?”
“What is that supposed to mean?”
“Just that nothing about you is what people expect.”
“I’d say that’s definitely true. You’re a bit on the unusual side yourself, for a Slytherin.”
“Coming from you, I’ll take that as a compliment.”
Harry gave him a slight smile, but otherwise remained silent, looking tired and strained.
“Potter, for Merlin’s sake! What in Merlin’s name is making you look like someone ran over your pet Crup? Your lost puppy eyes are quite disconcerting.”
“My girlfriend left me, if you must know.”
“The Weaselette left you?!”
“Not so loud! But yes, she has.”
“I always suspected she had some sort of mental impairment. I suppose that proves it.”
“She is not mentally impaired,” Harry said, but he couldn’t help releasing a half-strangled laugh.
“You have your opinion, I have mine. Anyone who would leave you has to have a few screws loose.”
“I just didn’t want to be by myself right now. The house feels too big without her there.”
“Houses can often feel quite capacious when one lives alone. I know.”
“I thought you lived at the manor with your parents.”
“No, they’ve left. It’s just me.”
“What would you say if I asked you to spend the day with me? I find I quite enjoy talking to you.”
“I like talking to you as well, Potter.”
“It’s Harry. Just Harry.”
“Harry. I like that. I’d also like it if you would call me Draco. Just Draco. Not Malfoy. We are more than our names, after all.”
“You’re right, Draco.”
“I know. I’m almost always right.”
