hogwarts365 Prompt 245-Making a point, Red Hair, Arrow
Notes: I hope readers enjoy this. So sorry it’s late.
Summary: Ron and Draco are trapped in a meeting.
Draco felt dazed and sleepy as he listened with half an ear to Granger’s lengthy tirade regarding elf rights. He nearly put his head down on the table, fighting the urge only thanks to an elbow in his ribs from his neighbour on the right. He rubbed the spot gingerly, shooting the redhead a wry smile.
“I don’t know whether to thank you or hex you, Weasley,” Draco said quietly.
“You should thank me,” Ron whispered back. “Hermione can be as venomous as a dragon when she’s making a point about house-elves, especially if she thinks you aren’t listening to her. I probably just saved you from a vicious tongue-lashing.”
“Well, in that case, I should definitely buy you a drink. Would you like to go to the Leaky Cauldron after work?”
“I’ll take you up on that. Maybe then you’ll stop staring at me.”
“How do you know I’m staring at you unless you’re the one who stares at me first? Besides, I can’t bloody help it. Your red hair acts like a homing beacon. It’s distracting.”
“Is there something pertinent either of you would like to add to the discussion, or would you like to carry on flirting with one another?” Hermione asked, shooting them a stare as hot as a burning arrow.
“We were not flirting. Ronald was rescuing me from being bored to death by your rambling speeches.”
“I do not ramble! House-elf rights are important, Malfoy. And unlike you, I actually care.”
“I do care. House-elves deserve humane treatment, Granger, but you are failing to take note of their needs as a species if you deny their inherent servile natures.”
“It just seems wrong to me that most wizards who have house-elves treat them so terribly.”
“But, by trying to free them you deny one of their basic needs as a sentient creature. Which is worse?”
“Hmm. I’ll need to ponder that question further.”
“Bloody hell. How did you do that? I didn’t even think you heard her.”
“I’m very good at multitasking. Would you like to go for that drink now?”
“I’d love to. Anyone who can avoid the wrath of Hermione Granger is worth getting to know better.”
