Harry couldn't remember ever having run so fast in his life. And between Triwizard Tournaments, giant spiders and a certain Dark Lord, his running resume was an impressive one.
"Is he gaining on us?" he gasped, jumping across a huge hedge in his hurry. A group of white peacocks protested with shrill squawks as the two boys stampeded across the grounds, nearly trampling them in the process.
"Why don't you stop and check?" his boyfriend retorted as he sprinted alongside Harry. Draco Malfoy was the only person he knew who could pull off condescending and sarcastic while running for his life.
"You wanted to tell your father that we were dating!" Harry panted furiously, as he tried to keep up.
"In a letter!" Draco snapped back "You're the one who insisted we do it in person! Now we've got a furious ex Death Eater chasing us through the Manor grounds! I hope you realise he fully intends to live up to his threat of eviscerating us with his bare hands!"
"All right, all right!" the brunette snapped, increasing his speed. He looked back warily. Lucius was in hot pursuit. For an old man with alleged 'war wounds', he could run surprisingly fast when the occasion called for it.
"Do you think we can outrun him?" Harry asked the blonde.
"I don't need to outrun him" Draco shot back "I just need to outrun you!"
And with that, the traitor took off at the speed of light.
