"What is that?" Gilderoy asked, stopping dead in his tracks just outside the house.

"Uh, horse and sleigh?" Draco said in a patronizing tone.

"And… what are we going to do with it?"

"Go visit my parents? It's a standard mode of transportation, Gild."

Gilderoy leaned over, taking Draco's hand. "I… I don't do well with large animals," he whispered.

"What? What about your dragons and yeti and werewolves you battled in those books? This is just a harmless old nag." Draco laughed for a moment then looked down at Lockhart. The look of sheer terror on the man's face, and the way his hand was trembling stifled his jesting.

Draco squeezed Gilderoy's hand and kissed his temple. "It's okay. We can floo."

When did this feeling take hold of him? What was it that made him give up such a golden opportunity to make fun of the silly berk?

Gilderoy leaned his head on Draco's shoulder as they turned back toward the house. "Thank you," he said softly. And Draco had his answer.
