    Summary

    Malfoy?

    God. He hasn’t heard her say his name in years, and certainly not with so little derision.

    “Granger,” he returns, paying her the same courtesy.

    She steps closer and a small part of him relishes the fact he’s distracted her from what was evidently a single-minded pursuit.

    “What’re you doing here?” she demands.

    “In my shop?” He leans his hip against the counter and crosses his arms over his chest. “Commerce, I expect.”

    ---

    Or, when Draco owns an apothecary and Hermione can't bring herself to pay.

    Summary

    “What are you doing in my office, Malfoy?” she asked, toeing the line between businesslike and unfriendly.

    He glanced over, eyes flicking from her face down her body once, before fixing his attention back on her books.

    “I was under the impression you were an investigative journalist,” he quipped, then lifted a hand to the spines.

    “Don’t touch my books,” she snapped. “You can’t just invite yourself in.”

    “The witch downstairs implied your assistant could.” He gestured to himself with the raised hand, turning his obedience at not messing with her things into something distinctly insouciant. Prat.

    And then his words registered.

    She jolted back like she’d been slapped, blinking against the cognitive assault. “What? No. You’re claiming that you are my new research assistant?”

    “Cracked it in one,” he drawled, sliding his hands into his trouser pockets.

    Summary

    “It’s called This or That, Granger. I’m sure you’ll pick it up quick.”

    She glowered at him. “It’s called Would You Rather and it’s a Muggle game, you prat.”

    He made a one-arm gesture of acceptance. “Fine, Granger. Would you rather…” He assessed her then smirked. “Have someone use their hands to give you a back massage or an orgasm?”

    She got the sense he expected her to blush at the word. She stared at him, frustration mounting that he was being so juvenile and making their project take longer than it needed to.

    “Can’t decide?” He quipped when she was still staring at him.

    “Back massage,” she snapped. “I can’t do that myself.”

    He chuckled. “Can’t do either of them yourself, but perhaps you’re too pure to know that. Pity not in the way that matters.”

    Now she looked up. “What?”

    ———

    Or where Malfoy thinks women don’t masturbate and Hermione cannot abide ignorance.

    Summary

    The first time Bellamy meets his new incubus coworker, he makes it a point to not react to her. After all, demihumans deal with people being jerks to them all the time, and she's clearly expecting him to be the same way. It's a matter of pride that he acts like he doesn't want her to drag her into an empty classroom and have her way with him.

    But he still wants it, obviously. So that's awkward.

    Summary

    Clarke doesn't mean to become (sort of) friends with John Murphy sophomore year, and she definitely doesn't mean to stay friends with him through college, but at that point it just sort of makes sense to be roommates with him. By that point, they're pretty much locked in.
