Who: Theo and Draco
When: Friday afternoon
Where: Draco's room
What: Checking in on his friend.

When he had first set out to find Draco after his conversation with Lucius in his journal, Theo really didn't know what to expect. Not to mention that finding Draco hadn't been easy even in a castle that was abnormally quiet. Few were around that day and he stayed far as he could from anyone as he passed through the corridors. He really wasn't in the mood to entertain much at the time and thankfully he hadn't the need to. Knowing Draco as well as he did, Theo knew he'd be out looking for Potter. That was a given. He knew Draco wasn't going to let go of something he had wanted for such a long time without a fight. That much he could understand, he never did either.

So they talked. He couldn't apologize for what he had done because he really didn't care. He hadn't done all that much, certainly not enough to cause what he had. If he had intended to maybe he'd feel worse or maybe not. He did however feel badly for what upset it had caused Draco. So he could at least apologize for that and had.

When he had closed his journal for the night and went to sleep Wednesday night, Theo had thought it was over. Potter quitting his job and taking off to do whatever it was he was going to do and leaving Draco behind hadn't been a thought he'd entertain. He hadn't pushed that hard really, although the push back was really something else. Regardless, it seemed too far fetched an outcome to even factor in.

And now it looked like he was in the running to be Minister. Which as irritating as that sequence of events was, he didn't mind paying up for what he had done. He did what he did and he'd deal with whatever he had to. So what? He could do the job. He'd do it a bit differently, like actually doing the job, he thought. Everyone complained they didn't want to do it, that there was nothing to do. But there was. There was an awful lot that should be being done, and he'd do it if it all played out that way. He did have his pride to consider. He wondered if they would have to give a speech. That would be easy enough if it played out that way.

Right now he was going to check in on Draco. Which ultimately mattered more. He knew Draco was going to keep searching until he found Potter no matter what it took, which was maddening. He couldn't fathom why. Not that he'd tell Draco as much, he wouldn't want to hear it and so it was a moot point.

Theo decided to check Draco's room before setting out to look around elsewhere. He knocked on the door loudly several times and waited.

Draco was drunk. Absolutely, totally, shaitfacedly drunk. He had been drunk since about 1am, and had no intention of sobering up before he went back to Harry tonight. He'd asked the house elf that brought the whiskey to tell him when Harry got back to the castle, and where he was. He hoped Harry would just go back to his room, but he wasn't counting on it either.

He didn't even notice the knocking at first, figuring it was just the pounding in his head taking physical form. But, no, it was definitely the door.

"S'open!" He yelled, then winced. Too loud. Everything was too loud.

He was born surprised and unsurprised to see Theo.

"'Lo Theo. Whaddya want?"

Well this was just great Theo thought. He opened the door and walked inside closing it behind him. It wasn't hard to tell immediately that Draco was drunk. His words sound slurred, he looked unsteady. He had that could be sick at any moment on his face and Theo could only sigh and think, what had happened now?

"I thought I'd check in on you. See what your up to," he said walking over and taking a quick once over assessment of just how drunk Draco was, and the answer was above and beyond. He placed his hands in his pockets and glanced around to see how many bottles had been emptied in however long he had been at this now. Was it recent? Hours? He assumed the latter.

"I'm guessing you found Potter."

Draco nodded sagely, then took another sip from the bottle. He'd only gone through one since last night, and was working on his second, but anyone who knew Draco knew that was an excessive amount. He could get puking drunk ln two shots, forget a while bottle and a bit.

"Found im. Yup. Like I expected, he had to go back to his room sometime!" He raised the bottle in a salute, then patted the dear next to him. "Have a seat! And a drink! Harry thinks I should fuck you, you know. Hell, maybe he's right! Do you want to fuck me Theo?"

"Sure I will have a drink." Whatever had happened clearly had not gone well and Theo moved to take the seat next to Draco, albeit he sat down a little hesitantly. He was fairly certain puking was in the immediate future, given previous instances of seeing Draco drunk. Which was going to be dreadful but not the first time.

It took a moment for Draco's words to sink in as he waited for the bottle. He'd just drink the rest, quickly. It wasn't that much for him anyway. Because whatever had gone on was beyond words at the moment.

"He said what?" He was clearly surprised and it registered in his voice. He laughed a little and shrugged. "You've been talking to me for years about your undying love for Potter. That's not exactly the biggest turn on, so I should say not. Also, I'd say your about to see that liquor again in a very spectacular way."

Draco just nodded again. To all of it. The puking, the love, it was all mixed up inside of him and he didn't know what was what anymore.

"I do love him. Told him so. Over and over. He doesn't believe me. Figures I'm up to some, some Slytherin tricks or whatever. He broke up with me, you know. Five, six times? I didn't let him though. Told him he can't get rid of me that easily. I'll still be there, even if he doesn't want me to. Even if he doesn't love me like I love him. I mean, I'm not Ron and I can't read his bloody mind so why should he love me, huh? I'm just, trying to get something from him like everyone else. All because I thought the damn fight he had with you was stupid. And it was, it was very bloody stupid! And now I'm going to spend the rest of my life getting house elves to track stupid bloody Potter down so I can force him to spend time with me so he'll see I'm not going to leave him like he expects me too! I am a fucking Malfoy and I am more stubborn than he will ever know!"

He swung the bottle wildly toward Theo, just missing his head, before remembering he'd offered a drink and giving it to his friend.

Theo had always been a good listener, even when the subject being discussed was not exactly his favorite one. He'd always sat and listened to Draco, in school, after the war, after the trial. And while he usually didn't say much, given the circumstances it seemed he would have to.

It was almost a relief to have to dodge a bottle heading straight for his head for a moment, which he took gladly and began drinking from in earnest.

"I know you do," he said turning to look at Draco. "I wouldn't sweat it so much. He'll come around once he dries out. As for the fight I'm not going to apologize for that. It is what it is, and it's done now. Not that's he'd take the word of an idiot son of a evil bastard anyway," he said with a small smile. "So I can't help you much in that regard. He'll get over it, realize your there and not going anywhere. Or you'll just wear him out with stubbornness."
