A/N: 

Thank you to Writcraft for the fun first prompt and hosting this month’s challenge! And thanks to my beta ramenifyouplease.

I want my wand back.

The words die on Draco’s tongue like a phoenix on burning day as he meets Harry Potter’s Killing Curse green eyes. As the silence lingers, he loses hope of their resurrection.

Honestly, what had he been thinking? He’d been working up the nerve to confront Potter since the start of term; how could Draco have expected anything to be different a day before Winter Hols start?

Because he’s spending it with those Weasleys, and if you fuck up, you won’t have to face him for awhile, Draco’s mind supplies.

Draco grits his teeth.

Potter’s jaw ticks as his eyes narrow at the motion. “Out with it, Malfoy. What’s so important, you nab me before breakfast?”

“Don’t fret, Potter. I’m sure some treacle will be left.” Rolling his eyes works for both stalling and searching his brain for an excuse.

“If there’s nothing—”

“Thankyou.”

Potter blinks, and Verdimilious shock replaces the Unforgivable anger—scanning Draco’s face for his secrets.

Compelled by the spell of Potter’s gaze, words tumble from Draco’s mouth unbidden. “Thank you. For coming back.”

“To… Hogwarts?”

Swallowing thickly, Draco’s voice still comes out embarrassingly hoarse. “For me—us. In the Room.”

“Oh. Uh.” Potter’s hand rubs the back of his neck. “You’re… welcome?”

Draco’s tongue flicks out, wetting his lips. “Dangerous to—” He aborts the thought halfway through, and, instead, jerkily nods before attempting to flee the alcove.

Fingers catch on Draco’s sleeve.

“Wait! Er…” Potter’s feet shuffle, his bewitching eyes avoiding Draco’s stare. “Thanks. For no-not identifying us. At the Manor. That was kinda… dangerous, too.”

Draco fights his rising flush at the unthinking smile gracing Potter’s lips.

“Then afterward, I…” His smile fades as his hand brushes over his robe pocket. “Made it more dangerous. For you.”

Draco’s breath catches. Now. Ask him for it now. “S’fine, Potter.”

If he noticed Draco’s hungry gaze, he’s mercifully silent as Draco slips away.

However, next day’s breakfast brings a school owl dropping an elongated box into Draco’s pudding with a scrawled note attached. Happy Christmas ~ HP

A/N: Wow! I can’t believe it, but this giant beast of a fic is completed! When I first submitted the above prompt, I never thought I’d be the one to claim it! Yet here we are. It’s been such a long three months, and there’re several people I need to thank for helping pull this fic through! First, I want to thank makoninah, whose lovely art piece helped to inspire part of the interpretation of what you’ll see for Harry’s powers, and I also wanted to thank her for granting permission for me to use this idea in the fic. Thank you to the Consent Mods for dealing with my persistent questions. I also don’t know where I’d be without the amazing Cabloom and btwnrageandserenity. Both helped me figure out very early on many of the places that are mentioned in this fic, dealt with many of my persistent questions, helped me out with various cultural elements, and really helped out near crunch-time. For the numerous people who sent me encouragement during the months of writing this, silvered_glass for helping me sort out the beginning, roonilwazib for answering my grammar questions, and All_About_That_Ace for being a sounding board for ideas, thank you! Finally, I want to thank the person who’s been with me on this project even before I had decided to take it on myself, the one who helped me through many a writer’s mood-swing (and even more questions), encouraged me to keep going and not give up, and really helped critique this fic and push it to its full potential–my main beta, ramenifyouplease! Every single one of you are Super Stars!

Also, for those that want it, here’s google map of some of the places the characters visit in the fic if you’re not familiar with London.

Excerpt:

Now, considering his distraction and the fact that he is technically out on patrol, it wouldn’t be fair to say he’s out looking for Paper Dracon. But he finds him anyway.

Harry catches the bloke trying to ferret off with an older woman’s purse and nabs him in the alley he bolts down. “Really? You’re actually purse-snatching now?”
