chapter twenty-seven

dmalfoy:
by the way, i'm never taking off your jumper again... i never realized how nice you smell.

hpotter:
i take it i didn't mess up this afternoon?

dmalfoy:
gosh, potter. you did superbly.

hpotter:
really? tell me what you liked the best.

dmalfoy:
if people didn't know the subtext of these messages, they'd think you and i shagged.

hpotter:
oh merlin, we did not shag!

dmalfoy:
yeah, i would've felt it if we had.

hpotter:
what?

dmalfoy:
nothing!

dmalfoy:
i liked that you and i talked – a lot. you allowed me to talk about myself, which is something i love to do, and you easily kept the conversation going. we didn't trail on any deep conversations, as it's only the first date, and you made sure to keep me interested. i was never bored: not for one second.

hpotter:
i kind of just didn't want to talk about myself...

dmalfoy:
well, you'll have to at some point. the first step to successfully forming relationships with people is communicating, a lot.

hpotter:
are we trying to form a relationship?

dmalfoy:
as of now, i'd say i'm merely being a helping hand in helping to determine if you're into blokes or not. personal emotions have nothing to do with this.

hpotter:
so, you wouldn't want a relationship with me?

dmalfoy:
what i want, potter, is to help you become not so much of an insufferable prat. i want you to become confident and assertive, and to do that, we'll need to spend a lot of time together.

hpotter:
y'know, in movies where this happens, the characters always end up falling in love with each other...

dmalfoy:
i've never seen a 'movie.' perhaps that can be our next date. regarding ourselves and our own feelings, whatever happens, happens.
