“is that who i think it is?”
drao ted to pinh the bridge of his out aed sigh. usually, he didn’t mind bise being overly dramati, but toely wasn’t in the mood for it.
“what did you expet?” he muttered as he sipped at his wine.
“i dido lean up so niely,” bise pratially purred.
drao peeked over at where potter was shaking hands with dozens of withes and wizards, all smiling broadly at him. one wizard atually looked like he iss himself. ugh.
& merliainly is more harismati thao be, isn’t he?” bise said ione.
“bsp;you please not?” drao said. his eyes lier’s robes, the le were touhing them, as if all their sorrows would vanish with just oouh of the wizarding wlorious saviour. potter dido like it. he nodded a drao ould tell from the tension in his shoulders and the weariness i he wasn’t enjoying himself.
“doy pooper,” bise said, raising his hampage.
“it’s my party,” drao sedly ig bise was still waiting for him to link gsses.
&ly,” bise said heerfully, touhing his gss to drao’s with a toothy grin. “i an’t ets to us.”
holy, drao didhe se. he was far more omfortable otter from afar. he had been doing it for the st two hours, his eyes rarely leaving that poorly tamed bk hair as potter made his rh the room. it may have been a bit hildish, but drao ying at and mouse for his amusement. he was doing it to keep his sanity intat.
tehnially, it olite he host of the party first, but, of ourse, potter had no idea drao was the host. nobody did, exept for his losest friends.
&her one,” drao said, gesturing to his empty gss. “you wahing?”
“why don’t you just wait for ohose waiters to ome by? you’ll miss po to the bar now,” bise said, without looking at drao.
of ourse, this was the very reason he was goi bise dido know that.
“i’ll be right bak,” he simply said and made his way through the rowd, feeling more wobbly ohaiipated. he deliberated swithiead of having anss of wiely shouldipsy while potter was around.
&he bar, he peeked over his sh a glimpse of bise with his most dazzling smile o appeared drao had left at exatly the right time. but judging from the way bise was stroking potter’s arm, it was very lear his friend should aloter. damn it, ansy when you hough, drao doubted that ed bise from shamelessly flirting with potter. or a matter.
drao’s eyes waer, who looked a bit flustered. he draint on his heeks, his leahe line of his jae of his lips…
why ouldn’t potter be ohose people who, whehem years ter, suddenly looked hideous and nothing like you remembered them? why ouldn’t he have wrinkles all over his fae or a zy eye or a hunhed bak? of ourse he had to waltz in here, lookitrative than he had in shool. orld so unfair?

drao’s eyes otter’s lips slowly strethed i of a smile. he suddehe had smaked him in the side of his head. he let out the breath he hadn’t realised he’d been holdier turention bak to bise, nodding and smiling politely.
drao briefly losed his eyes, willio pull it together. but the tingli of his belly was hard to ignore. he had known this evening would be…hallenging, but inviting potter had bee move to make. drao would suffer through it. food, so to speak. invitio aomatially sparked the i of the wh world, and that was what drao ter how muh he disliked it.
