Scraps of Paper

{In Draco's left pocket, crumpled}

Meet me at "the place" (you know, which one ;) ) before breakfast tomorrow.

Snogging doesn't solve everything, Potter!

{Between pages 6 and 7 of Draco's Potions textbook}

You know, sometimes I just can't figure you out! What did I do now?
Harry

{On Draco's notepad}

Nothing. Just being a Gryffindor. Enough of a crime as it is
We need to talk
I do love you, but sometimes everything moves so fast
I don't know

*

{Under Harry's pillow}

I don't know how to hold your hand. In the Great Hall. For everyone to see.
I don't know how to hold your hand and just walk to the table as if this is nothing.
I don't know how to do things without considering the implications.

{In Draco's hand}

Ok. Then let's consider the implications.

1. People will know.
2. Going out with the wizarding world's saviour will be good for your reputation. (Don't deny it! I know you've thought about this!)
3a. Blaise will stop hitting on you. Hopefully. (This might not seem positive to you, but it's a very important point for me. I don't share.)
3b. People will stop hitting on me. (Do you see the upside yet?)

Please, meet me again tomorrow at breakfast? I'll behave!

There are merits to points 2 and 3b. I'll admit that.

o_O Right. Once you've made up your mind you don't do things halfway, do you? (I approve, by the way.)
