What: He's still not sure what to do

He had still not answered Parvati, because he didn't want to rush things. Taking care of the DMLE and the DoM was easy. Regardless of what people thought, he didn't mind having the DoM. He understood that it was important. What he had objected was to time wasted on time travel, because he knew that someone like Sirius would have tried going back. What Parvati was proposing was out of his experience.

He poured himself a glass of firewhiskey, not his first one for the day, and crossed the room barefoot before settling on the couch with Draco. "I've had a request to create a department to advance magical needs, things like music and clothes and other stuff. I don't know what to say."

He ran his fingers through his hair. "Maybe this wasn't a good idea. Me in charge. Maybe at the start to get thing running, but now? I don't do anything all day. I'm bored out of my mind and I can see people are starting to get annoyed and I don't know what to do. I can fight when there's someone to fight, but now-"

"I thought I had made.it past your 'touching is weird' barrier," Draco said fondly. He should have known Harry wouldn't be used to back rubs. "As to why, I'm doing it because I like making you feel good. You look tense, and I wanted to help. If it's not helping I'll stop, if you like it I'll keep going. Simple as that."

He nodded, thinking about ways they could spice up a two person league.

"Yeah, we could come up with some sort of challenge rules. Switch things up a little. I don't know, I'd have to think about it. Or, rather, someone like Savannah should think about it. If anyone could do a creative take on the game without losing its integrity it's her."

He perked right up at the mention of going out for dinner.

"Yes, that's a brilliant idea. Dinners, maybe shopping. I don't understand muggle fashion but I bet people like Scorpius would enjoy seeing the shops. Even just the change of scenery would make a big difference, I bet. The castle is big but it's still just one castle"

"Sex doesn't count," Harry said. "I was perfectly fine touching random strangers while fucking them." Granted, most of those encounters were done standing up and with clothes on, but there was touching involved. "It's fine, Draco, just confusing,but no it's good, you can keep going," he said with a grin.

Harry sighed. "That's the problem with being Minister. You sit there and there are people who want to do everything and you get to sign stuff off. I want to do something! And that's just for me not the rest of the world. I can do ... I don't know, I just know that this isn't enough. Life like this- I can see why my kids don't like me. If I slowly made it through the Ministry, Head Auror, Head of the DMLE, I had less and less to do and more and more time doing nothing. I think they got it wrong though. I don't think that I was too busy for them, but that I was so fucking bored with life- I can see drinking the day away because nothing makes you feel alive."

He shook his head, because it was all so very boring to him, but he knew people would like it. Even Draco got excited at the idea and he didn't know Muggles. "Let's start with one dinner. I don't want to get the castle to think that we're leaving. I'll go get some money exchanged for dinner and then if nothing blows up in our face, we'll plan something different for another day."

"Good thing I'm not a random stranger then," he laughed, kissing Harry behind the ear and then going back to the massage.

"Sounds like you need a passion project of your own." Draco hated when Harry was down on himself like this. Clearly that image of his future and the relationship with his children had gotten into his head. But Draco had to admit, if Harry was already getting to the end of his rope in a few months, what would a few decades of boredom and unfullfilment do to him? But that Harry didn't have Draco.

"You know, you could take over the Quidditch reform. If you wanted. You know the game inside and out. Or something else. Anything, really. What would you do, if you could do anything?"
