Author's Notes:i think you can read the first and this part as one story, but this year i don't really plan on writing one story, i just try to fill the prompt (if parts are properly connected i will state it clearly in the title); also obviously [personal profile] themightyflynn did not kill me... i feel like i should say that




Harry never minded that Draco never invited him over. His friends thought it weird. Ron had a theory about illegal business going on, Hermione was convinced he moved back in with his parents. Luna said something about Nargles making Draco forgot to invite him and Neville hinted, that it might have something to do with a potion business on the side that might be unlicensed. Oddly enough, as it should be figured out afterwards, Ginny was the one who got it right, as she suggested that Draco was insecure about his living arrangement.
So, having been owled a floo-address was a big step in Harry's book, and for that he even dressed proper, decked out with vest in all, in preparation to step out to something close to the Manor.
A decision he soon enough regretted, one he stepped out the small fireplace and into the combined living and dining room.
"Do you have to go somewhere else?" Draco asked highly suspicious.
"Erm – no, I just… well, hi? Thank you for inviting me?"
Draco raised his eyebrow. After a moment he shrugged his shoulders and moved towards what Harry suspected must be the kitchen.
"Dinner will just be in a moment, you can already take a seat," and with that he was gone.
It was only after Harry sat down, that he noticed, that while Draco had immaculate taste in the furniture and it seemed like a well taken, warmly home, Draco was undeniable not the neatest person in the world. There were open Books all over the coffee table and on the seat next to his, pieces of parchment littered the sofa and also the bookshelf, he even saw a half of what must be a broken quill.
Insecure indeed. Harry rather thought it endearing and cute.
"Hope it will be to your taste," Draco said, and sat down, after serving them.
"Looks amazing," Harry said, and meant it. And as he started to dug in, he decided that he was going to have a nice evening in Draco's home.
