"Malfoy?" Harry heard Ron repeat so Harry knew that he wasn't dreaming and Ron's tone was also indication that Ron would rather be anywhere else.
Harry turned to Ron and spoke softly, "Why don't you get us a table, I'll be right over..."
Ron grinned and made his way across the street to the cafe, leaving Harry alone with Malfoy outside New Gringotts.
Malfoy started to speak, looking hesitant. "Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt your day--"
"No, it's fine. Ron just wanted to go and check out the new pastry shop. I'm sure he's eager for all the tea and the cakes they have to offer."
"Oh, that place is brilliant," Malfoy said. "I took my mum there a few days ago. They do a really good job serving different varieties of cakes on their fancy serving trays. I really enjoyed their peppermint mocha."
"Oh, do you want to come with?" Harry asked, he was sure Ron would probably hate him for it, but he didn't think it'd be polite to not offer.
"I can't," Malfoy said, "I've still got some last minute shopping to do." He picked up the bags in his hand to show Harry.
"Anything for me?" Harry teased, surprised at how relaxed he was getting around Malfoy. So much for freaking out about it last night.
Malfoy smirked slightly and bit the inside of his cheek. "Maybe."
"Wow, I wasn't being serious," Harry said in a panic. Shite, now was he supposed to buy a present for Malfoy, too.
"It's not a big deal. Don't stress yourself in thinking you have to purchase something for me now."
"I wasn't--" Malfoy raised an eyebrow. "How did you know I was thinking that."
"You're not that hard to read," Malfoy said.
"Really? Because you're impossible to read."
Malfoy shrugged slightly. "I know."
Harry mock scowled and then ran a hand through his hair. "Anything else I should know before Friday?"
Malfoy's mouth parted slightly as if he was going to say something, but then he quickly closed it.
"What is it?" Harry asked.
"I just...I was surprised, is all..." Malfoy said, looking hesitant.
"That I asked you out?" Harry said, and hating how nervous he sounded again.
"No. That it took you this long," Malfoy replied.
