The hot chocolate, as always, was delicious, but watching Malfoy consume his with obvious enjoyment was even more so. Then, once the chocolate was gone, Harry leaned back and watched him finish off his biscuit with neat, precise bites. “Good?” he asked.
Malfoy nodded. “Exceptional. This place is quite a find, Potter.”
Harry smiled. “I certainly think so. Alice has been a good friend.”
“I see.” Malfoy licked the last of the biscuit of his lips before inclining his head. “Right, so what shall we do next?” he asked. “The night’s still young.”
Harry pursed his lips and glanced outside, doing a double take. Slowly, he grinned. “I know what we can do,” he said, standing up and extending his hand to Malfoy.
Malfoy raised an eyebrow. “And what’s that?” he asked, accepting Harry’s hand.
Harry pulled him towards the door. “It’s a surprise.” He paused, releasing Malfoy’s hand. “One moment.” Walking back over to the counter, he called out, “Goodnight, Alice! And thanks!”
Alice stuck her head out from the back and waved. “You’re welcome, Harry.” She winked, adding, “And your friend is cute. You should keep him.”
Harry blushed. “Goodnight, Alice.”
Once he’d ushered Malfoy outside, Harry led him through an alley and towards a park located behind the tea shop. Malfoy looked around. “It’s been snowing.”
“Yes.” Bending down, Harry picked up a handful of snow and grinned.
Malfoy stepped backwards. “Potter, if you throw that at me I won’t be responsible for my actions.”
Laughing, Harry shook his head. “I wasn’t going to. No, I thought we could build a snowman.”
“Build a--” Malfoy crossed his arms. “Honestly, just how old are you, Potter?”
Harry sighed, dropping the snow. “Fine. Never mind.”
Malfoy moved past him. “That’s not how you start a snowman,” he tossed over his shoulder. “This is.” And, drawing his wand, he started a breeze that rolled the snow into several large balls. “Well?” he said as Harry stood there. “We need to stack these. Are you going to let me do all the work here?”
Slowly, Harry smiled and drew his wand. “No. Of course not.” And as they played in the snow, Harry found himself wishing it wouldn’t end too soon.
