"Oh Draco," she whispered, and shook her head. "Oh my darling..." She embraced him, just for a moment, and then looked into his eyes. Her face was serious, very serious. "We can manage this, I promise you."
"Mother?" Draco asked, because he was frightened.
"We can hide it," she told him, and he understood from the look of fear in her expression that this was Muggle, filthy. "Anything you get from them, you hide it until I can vanish it for you, and I'll get you other treasures. You can never tell anyone, and you can never let them see - do you understand me?"
"Yes, Mother," Draco promised, staring at the disc in his hand. He wanted to keep it, wanted to have this connection with his soulmate.
"I'm sorry, Draco. I need to take that." Mother gazed at him with so much love. "We'll work this out, I promise."

Bookmarker's Notes
“Do it? It being Harry Potter? You’re asking me to do Potter? As if he’s a thing, not a…” Draco squawks, flapping a hand wildly in the air. “Not a person? You know our history, Oliver!”
He imagines simply turning up at Potter’s office and presenting himself to be shagged, this is downright ludicrous-
Well, it’s not as if you’ve never thought about that before.
He looks down, teeth sinking into his bottom lip.
Oliver mutters, “To be honest? I don’t think he’ll say no to that.” Upon glimpsing the astonished expression on Draco’s face, he quickly backtracks. “Nothing! Nothing, just ignore what I said. Ignore everything.” He exhales. “Look, I rang you to remind you not to be distracted. Two weeks. I need you to-“
“Constant concentration. Yes, I know that.”
“Good.” Oliver nods, a tight smile on his lips. “Good. I’ll see you tomorrow.”
They say their goodbyes. Draco plops down on the sofa, rubbing his forehead.
Keep my head in the game.
He presses the heels of his palms on his closed eyes and sighs.
How can I do that, when Potter, fit-as-fuck Potter, is going to be there, looking like a walking wet dream?

Summary
Harry can't stop watching him. It's starting to feel a bit like sixth year, except this time he's a grown man with classes to teach and no time to obsess about his favorite subject: Draco Malfoy. Unfortunately, Harry's pet Niffler keeps stealing things from Draco and only Draco, making it entirely impossible for Harry to avoid confronting that stupid smirking face he most assuredly doesn't want to kiss.

Bookmarker's Notes
“Actually, Potter, I haven’t even begun to have my fun yet.”
“Oh, I’m Potter, now?”
“You are when you’re skulking about, cataloguing my habits like we’re sixteen all over again.” With a roll of his eyes, Draco stepped away from the wall and began to walk down the corridor, the precise click of his expensive shoes echoing in the hall as he called over his shoulder, “I’ll be in the Great Hall around six if you’d like to watch me dine whilst scribbling ‘ate several bites of roast and brussel sprouts at 6:02 PM’ in whatever unsettling Draco Malfoy-focused journal I know you have shoved in your pocket.”
“I don’t have a Malfoy journal!”
Draco swiveled around at that, facing Harry as he calmly slid both hands into his pockets.
“Sure you don’t, Harry.” And with a cheeky wink, he Disapparated. Harry cursed the day staff had been allowed to Apparate within the castle. Now he’d be looking over his shoulder for a smirking Draco Malfoy, eager to catch Harry in the act of… well, whatever this was.

“ Can you change it?”
“No,” Dumbledore admits. He’s peering at Harry thoughtfully.
“Well, then,” Harry says, spreading his arms a little, and turns to Nott. “Do you want to go somewhere and talk about this?”
“Even though we won’t get married for years and years?”
“I’d like to be friends with my—husband.” Then another thing strikes Harry. “We’ll really be husbands? Two men can get married in the magical world? But then how would we have kids?”
Nott is peering at Harry as though he’s officially gone insane. “Magic,” he says slowly.
Harry flushes. “Right.”

Bookmarker's Notes
On his way, he passed by Potter and his loony date. Both were laughing hysterically as Lovegood led them both into a ridiculous dance that completely clashed with the music, barely avoiding the surrounding couples trying to enjoy their romantic waltz. There was absolutely nothing graceful about what they were doing. Lovegood at least had some sense of rhythm; Potter appeared to have two left feet.
Tom wrinkled his nose. Clearly, the power that he knows not wasn’t dancing.
Nevertheless, as he watched the grin on Potter’s face, Tom couldn’t deny the charm of his innocence and nonchalance. Potter was secure enough in himself to be silly in front of strangers.
He turned away.
