Potter appears at half-twelve in his Auror robes. Draco had planned to forcibly not look at him, but he can’t help it.
Because Potter looks at the biscuits first. He gazes at them, seeming utterly lovesick, and actually startles when he sees the note.
He blinks hard and shakes his head. Opens his mouth. Shuts it again.
And then—yes, yes!—he stalks to the door of the shop, his crimson robes billowing dramatically behind him. He throws the door open and strides inside. Potter puts his hand out, and Draco’s parchment wings across the air and lands in Potter’s palm.
“It’s bloody treacle tart flavoured, you tosser?” Potter reads in a disbelieving tone, then lifts his eyes to meet Draco’s. “Is this for me?”
“Who else would it be for?” Draco coughs loudly. “I mean. Hello. What could I get for you? A biscuit?”
Potter stares at him, then takes a tentative step forwards. He’s in a dark green jumper this time, also with a large white H on the front. “What is this?”
“A bakery.”
“I know that. But you—”
“Frankly, I can’t see how it’s any of your business.”
“What?”
“Have a bloody biscuit, Potter. You’ve been mooning over them for days!”
“I have not,” Potter snaps.
“You have so. It’s a window, not a brick wall. Or has your eyesight got worse since school?”
Potter glares, his eyes black behind his glasses. “Sod off, Malfoy,” he says, then completely undermines himself by sodding off on his own.
