Pulse racing, Harry finished his beer, trying to calm himself. Yelling would get him nowhere. They’d sat down together to mend fences. Sure, they’d apologized today, but they’d hated each other for years; hurt each other terribly. He shouldn’t have expected this to be easy. Harry put down his empty bottle to watch Draco’s face turn white and his hands flutter.

“I hope you can handle the fact that I’m gay,” Harry finally offered.

In response, Draco simply squawked out a strange noise and shook his head, clearly astonished. Then he opened another beer and tipped half down his throat.

“You don’t seem to be okay with my sexuality,” Harry said after a few long, uncomfortable moments.

Draco merely emitted that weird squawk noise again, and waved one hand, as though the motion communicated something.

Harry had to roll his eyes. (He made sure to close them first.) Then he reopened them and watched Draco drain his second beer, only to immediately open up a third. Harry frowned, but decided – if this was a drinking contest – he’d no intention of losing.

He cracked open another beer and took a swig, then grabbed the open bag of Doritos and sighed. “Well?”

Harry had a terrible thought. He took a gulp of beer, then looked Malfoy square in the eye. “You don’t think I’m bad for Teddy, do you?”

Finally, Draco snapped far enough out of his weird dismay to reply. “Certainly not. Why would I?”

“Some mugg—men, people, think gays are dangerous to children.” He watched Draco’s face carefully, wondering if he might get lied to.

“I don’t think that,” Draco said.

He looked sincere, but Harry thought he should push. “So, you don’t have a problem with me being gay, then? You don’t think I’m going to hurt Teddy?”

“I don’t think that,” Draco said, clearly trying to convey honesty with his solemn tone and eye contact. “Not in any way. It would be… I mean, I shouldn’t….” he took a deep breath and shook his shoulders out, then drank deeply from his bottle.

Harry watched, confused and hopeful.

“I do not think gay men are dangerous to children. I do not believe you would ever hurt Teddy. Ever. I trust you with my life, Harry Potter, with good reason, and I am confident that Teddy can do the same. Aunt Andromeda clearly feels you are trustworthy, as well.”

Having given his little speech, Draco relaxed slightly into the tall chair as he released their eye contact. He drank deeply from his beer again, as though saying those things had distressed, or even wounded him.

Then Harry stared as Draco grabbed the cheddar popcorn bag, poured little candied chocolates into his mouth, and captured three large chocolate biscuits into one hand. He devoured it all, seemingly too fast to taste. It was disturbing and fascinating, at the same time. Harry’d never expected to see Draco Malfoy indulge gluttonous appetites – frankly, to see him eat and drink like a pig.
