Eventually Andromeda picked up Teddy and jiggled the restless baby in her arms as he squirmed and pulled at her ear. “You boys need to talk, and Teddy is tired of sitting at the table. Shall we give you some privacy?”
Draco swallowed and looked at Harry. Harry looked uncomfortable. No one spoke, and Draco felt his shoulders creeping toward his ears. Someone needed to break the silence. Could Draco do it? He shouldn’t have to, surely? Harry was the heroic one, the brave one.
Still, no one spoke.
Draco cleared his throat, and everyone turned to look at him.

“Please,” Draco murmured. Once they were staring, speaking felt easier than remaining silent.
“We should take a walk,” Harry suggested.
Draco cocked his head. “Yes,” he agreed. “I’ve imposed enough today.”
“It’s a lovely day, if nippy,” Aunt Andromeda agreed. “Button your coats, layer on a warming charm… you’ll be fine. Come back if you need anything.” She bent to pull Teddy from his chair. Then she straightened her spine and gave Draco a piercing look. “I am glad you had the courage to break the ice between us today,” she said. “Come for tea tomorrow?”
“Certainly,” Draco agreed, surprised.

“We have a problem,” Draco said as they stepped away from the house. He was surprised by his own audacity, but Aunt Andromeda had broken open some small, scared thing inside him and somehow filled it with courage and reassurance. He reckoned he should use that, before it withered away in the cold, winter wind.
“We’re desperately attracted to one another, but we’re also horrible to one another. Horrible for one another. Not to mention, I must marry a woman soon; sire an heir.”
“I thought your Mum said you don’t have to?”
“Mum and I disagree,” Draco replied, stiffly.

“Okay,” Harry said politely enough. Draco could still hear the skepticism, but it was subtle enough to ignore. “Are you saying we should stop fucking? Break up? Because, I gotta say, we’re amazing at fucking, and really bad at leaving each other alone.”
Draco sighed. “You have a point.” He tried to think of how else to respond, but Harry made a small noise, as though he wanted to continue talking, so Draco waited.
“There’s a park bench,” Harry said. “Shall we?”
They walked in silence to the bench, sat down, and did not turn to look at one another.
