“It was raining that first time you came in here.”
Draco slanted a look at Neville. “Mmm,” he murmured. “You actually remember that?”
Neville got a faraway look on his face as he leaned against the counter, watching the raindrops spatter onto the leaves of his fern. “Yes. In fact, I remember it was pouring just like it is now, and you showed up looking for shelter. You said my shop had the biggest awning.”
Draco’s lips quirked. “Is that what I said?”
Neville snickered. “Yeah, and I even believed you. For about ten minutes.”
“Mmm. So what gave me away?” Draco asked.
“The fact that even when the rain stopped you wouldn’t leave,” Neville said. “And then, when I began making tea...”
“Yes?”
“Well, you looked as if you could use some tea and company, so I invited you to stay.”
“For the longest time I assumed you took pity on me, and that was why you let me stay,” Draco said, eyes back on the wet window. “I assumed it was pure charity.” He smiled when Neville placed a hand on his shoulder.
“I never pitied you,” Neville whispered.
Draco nodded. “I know that now,” he said. “The tea was very good.”
Neville hugged him, settling his chin on Draco’s shoulder as they watched the rain together.
“Would you like some tea now?” Neville finally asked.
Draco nodded. “That would be lovely.”
As they busied themselves gathering the things, the rain poured down, washing away the dirt and grime of the day.
