Draco had spoken to Potter a while back, and Harry mentioned a secret. Something horrible and evil. One that's unspeakable and unforgiveable. Worse than Voldemort himself.

He steeled himself, and asked the Bar for some.

There was a note on a napkin, "Are you sure about this?"

"Yes, just give them already." He scooped up the materials. If you listened closely, you could almost hear the distant voices of cackling evil laughter, and piercingly shrill squees of delight.

He carefully placed them on a table, and ordered a drink. Just from what Harry had said before, he knew he would need it.

Mr. Malfoy was learning about the evil that is HP fandom. (Though luckily, he's being spared the truly mind numbingly worse of the lot, because that's too much for most muns, much less the pup.)

Shortly into reading, there's a loud cry, "URRRGHHHH! I don't even LIKE HIM! And WHY AM I PREGNANT??"

"Then what is worth risking your life for?"

Well, trapped there.

He then studied her, and nuzzled her again.

"The people we love of course."

She smiled a little and nuzzled back before continuing.

"Some don't have the strength to defend the people they love by themselves, so they ask for help."

There's a touch of sadness in her eyes, though she is still smiling.

"Do you know who asked for help to save Halloweentown from the nightmares? Three children. They didn't look like they should be old enough to defend themselves, much less their home. It would not have rested well on my conscience if I didn't try to help them, poor as my attempt turned out to be."

"I suppose, but you should be more careful."

Nothing but smiling now.

"You say the same thing when toy dragons bite my fingers."

Draco cleared his throat nervously, "Well you should... I know it's hardly the same. Look, you don't have do things by yourself now at any rate. Around here I mean. I know back home you also have your friends there. Not that you don't have ones here... oh Merlin's beard." He was digging himself a hole, and he knew it. So he just shut up, and held her.

She's giggling again.

"Did I mention I also like seeing you flustered like this? It bears repeating if I did," she says before kissing him again.

He kissed back loving feeling like this where everything about her flooded his senses.

He then remarked dryly, "Well, I guess I'm just here for your amusement then."

Way to make her face fall, Draco.

"Oh no, Draco, never say you're as unimportant as that. You're important. You would have been even if you had never met me."

It's a gift.

"I was kidding." Mostly. "I know I'm important." Yeah, important enough to have a large number of enemies back home.

Important enough to make some friends that truly love him. He would have that even if he never knew Mia. Though there is no denying that someone has to be pretty important if he can get someone like Mia fall in love with him.

"I'm here if you ever need reminding, though."

Only because he made an effort to get some friends. Real friends. Not just allies.

His fingertips trailed over her cheek and lips as he peered down at her.

"I know."

"Good. Don't forget."

And she kisses him again.

He kissed back, and whispered with a small smile, "Well as long as I stay away from apples... I won't."

She shrugs a little and says before kissing, "Not that reminding you wasn't fun."

He chuckled, "I wouldn't mind if all your reminders are that much fun."

"I suppose I'll have to make sure they are."
