It was precisely 4:12... not that he'd been keeping track. He was standing outside Slug and Jiggers, wondering if Potter would be late - not that he cared if he were. It had been a long few weeks at the Manor; he'd been mixing Mother sleeping draughts nearly every night. He was almost as tired as she was, and still no word of his father. Though Auntie Bella had been so kind to drop by.
He was loathe to admit today would be a welcome reprieve.

He needed to get himself a pair of new... socks. And it couldn't wait. And he'd bolted.
4:21...
Rushing out the backdoor of Eeylops Owl Emporium; having taken a quick shortcut, Harry brushed feathers off his shirt and hurried towards Slug and Jiggers. Hardly anyone from Hogwarts ever bothered to shop in the store unless it was the week before school started so it was the perfect place to meet up.

"Well, well, well. Potty decided to show his face after all."

Date: 2009-06-30 10:25 pm (UTC)"Well, I don't break promises." Funny he should say that, really. Did he promise he'd come?
Well, Harry had only been looking forward to this all week...
Really now, Potter. Do you have to remind yourself of that pathetic fact?
"What's all this?"

Date: 2009-06-30 10:30 pm (UTC)Why did Potter always have to be so dramatic.

Date: 2009-06-30 10:35 pm (UTC)He turned around and fell into step next to Draco.
"You're not poisoning anyone, are you?"

Date: 2009-06-30 10:46 pm (UTC)He stopped walking just then. Not because of his blunder but 1) he didn't know where they were going and 2) if they walked on any further, he was afraid they'd bump into Ron and Hermione.

Date: 2009-06-30 11:05 pm (UTC)"Come on," he hissed, pulling Harry into a convenient alleyway just in time for one of his father's business associates to flounce past. "--sorry. What were you asking?"

Date: 2009-07-01 06:25 am (UTC)"Where the fuck have you taken us, Malfoy?" On either side and behind them, there were surrounded by walls and it seemed that the only path left for them to take was to walk on straight ahead. To god knows where. Great. Perfect. Just what he needed. Another adventure. "If we're stuck here and I'm late for my d-" Date? Had he been about to say, date?

Date: 2009-07-01 03:24 pm (UTC)He began walking on, only just barely remembering to drop Harry's arm before that got awkward.
"So sorry to keep you from your little weasel," he finally spoke up, belatedly, with none of his usual venom.

Date: 2009-07-01 04:54 pm (UTC)It seemed they were stuck in a loop of some sort or the wall was moving with them.
Either way, it wasn't good.
"Malfoy," he called out. "Malfoy, stop." He pulled his wand out and scanned the surface of the wall. "I think it's..." He stepped a little closer, brows furrowing slightly. "... I think it's alive."
Well, that, or he'd had too many glasses of elderflower wine at the Weasleys' earlier.

Date: 2009-07-09 11:02 am (UTC)"I think we should go."
Something was growing out of the surface of the wall. He was sure of it. "Malfoy, turn around," Harry ordered, unable to shake the feeling that they were in danger. "Run!" he yelled, turning and grabbing Draco by the arm.
