“Are you two, really going to behave?” Blaise raised an eyebrow as he looked at Harry.
“Why are you asking me?” Harry argued. Malfoy was standing right there. “I am not the one that starts it!”
“I know…” Blaise said and Malfoy grumbled.
“You know?” Malfoy snapped.
Harry grinned when Malfoy got to his feet and charged up to Blaise.
Blaise and Ginny had been dating for several years and they’d finally set the date for the wedding. Ginny had asked Harry to be her ‘Man of Honour’ and Blaise had naturally asked Malfoy to be his Best Man.
Now, they all worried that Harry and Malfoy were going to start some sort of fight at the reception all hell was going to break loose, even though, Harry had assured them several times that no such thing was going to take place.
“See. You do start it!” Harry said, still grinning.
“Potter, if you don’t stop talking. I swear—”
“I’d like to see you try, Malfoy,” Harry retorted.
“Okay, seriously. You two need to stop.” Ginny walked into the room and pinned Harry with her intense glare. “Draco, I expected more from you!”
“Him?” Harry whined but shut up quickly as Ginny glowered at him some more. “The wedding is in two weeks and I am going to demand my wedding present from you, now!”
Harry panicked, as he hadn’t even started to think about what to get them for a present. He looked over at Malfoy who was smiling as if he’d won this round.
“Whatever you’ve bought for us, Draco, and whatever you’re thinking of buying, Harry—is not the present I want. I want the two of you to live in my flat for the next week.”
“Live in your flat?” Harry asked, thoroughly confused.
“Yes. I’m going to stay here, with Blaise, or at the Burrow with my family. You two are going to stay at my flat. This way, you will learn to get along, and you will not fight, and you will not break anything that is my property.” Ginny looked over at Blaise who shrugged and his expression all but said: Better your flat than mine.
“Ginny, I—” Malfoy started to talk when Harry cut him off.
“You can’t possibly be serious!”
Ginny ignored their protests and continued to talk. “The wedding is in two weeks, and in one week, I want a progress report from you two. After one week of living together, if you two can’t figure out how to be civil around each other, you are not attending the wedding!”
Malfoy looked past Ginny towards Blaise who barely flinched. “It’s a bit extreme,” he said, finally, “but I trust Ginny and her happiness is the only happiness I care about. So—”
