Draco thought he offended his uncle when he pushed his hand away, but what happened next was even more surprising. Thanks to Narcissa, Draco grew up with plenty of affection and he never minded cuddling with other females, but men? Awkward. He grew accustomed to it with Scorpius and, Merlin help him, the little Potter, but Alphard caught him off guard. "Wha---oh. Um, hullo." He sort of squeezed Alphard in return, but stepped away the moment his uncle let up. "I am alright, thank you," Draco replied. "I hope you are too? No more explosions?" He pretended to sniff around. "I don't smell any," he teased. "Sirius and Lorcan aren't here then?" He hoped not. He really wanted to talk to Alphard alone.
