Thanks. :) You totally know that several generations of Malfoys spent their formative years in St Mungo's having toes removed and webbed fingers separated, heh.
It was very funny, and subtle. I like the little moments that hints at a shared and larger backstory, showing these characters have a life outside of your story.
“I distinctly remember that you swore never to speak of that again.”
“Doesn’t sound like something I’d say. Besides, I haven’t mentioned how your phantom toe does seem to have developed into an erogenous-”
My favourite bit. :) Hee, I got the impression that the eleventh toe probably came up sometime during sex, and that Harry, under duress, promised whatever Draco dictated, but that he'll cheerfully ignore his promise anyway.
I also loved the bit about the kraken, and this last bit of dialogue and how telling it is about their relationship:
“Potter, if you’re trying to make a point, then do it before I hex you.”

I love dialogue-only stories when it's done right!
When it's done in a way that you don't NEED visual narrative... you don't NEED to be told what they are doing and HOW they are doing it...

“I just don’t like all the dragons.”
“Then we’ll get rid of them. Happy?”
