Notes: randomness inspired by the prompts. I hope readers enjoy.
Summary: Harry and Draco bond over discussions of favourite foods.
“Potter! Why are you here?”
“This is a restaurant isn’t it? Aren’t I allowed to eat like a normal person, Malfoy?”
“Of course you are. I was merely curious as to why you chose to patronize my establishment over the multitude of other restaurants in Diagon Alley.”
“I heard from Ron that you had excellent treacle tart. I wanted to sample it for myself.”
“Weasley said something complimentary about my food? Wonders truly will never cease. Perhaps his brains have been addled with Acromantula venom. But then, he does have an appetite to rival Karkus the giant.”
“He’s trying, Malfoy. And he hates spiders.”
“I’d wager he’s only trying because you asked him to, Potter. I appreciate it all the same.”
“I didn’t ask him. But I’m glad he is. Can I have that tart now?”
“Don’t you want a meal first? Treacle tart is meant to be a dessert, you realise.”
“I know that. I always eat desserts first these days. Life is too short.”
“You have a point there.”
“Was that you agreeing with me?”
“Don’t let it go to your head, Potter. It does still need to fit through the door after all.”
“I’m sure my head and I will be just fine, Draco.”
“I like hearing you call me by name. Malfoy reminds me of my father.”
“Merlin forbid.”
“Quite. Can I get you a drink? I have Firewhisky. Or I can get you something else if you’d rather.”
“Do you have pumpkin juice?”
“Of course. I should’ve realised you’d ask for it. You loved it at Hogwarts."
“How did you know that? Are you a Legilimens?"
“Hardly. I’m just observant. You drank it with nearly every meal there.”
“Yes, well. My relatives were muggles who hated magic. Pumpkin juice felt special.”
“I feel that way about ice cream.”
“You like ice cream?”
“Yes.”
“I’m shocked.”
“My life is now complete. I can officially say I’ve stunned the great Harry Potter.”
“Draco?”
“Yes?”
“Sit with me?”
“Are you that desperate for company?”
“I thought we could talk. It’s almost closing time.”
“You want to talk to me?”
“No, I’d rather speak with a potted fern.”
“Sarcasm. Very Slytherin of you.”
