__________<br/><br/>Harry hadn’t been surprised when he woke up alone, the cold sheets beside him a proof that Draco hadn’t left the bed any time recently. He couldn’t get himself to mind all that much, finding no offense in the fact that Draco hadn’t wanted to add domesticity to their growing sense of intimacy. In fact, as the dull headache of a hangover started to bloom in the back of his head, Harry enjoyed being able to roll over into cool cotton.<br/>He had stayed there for another while before he accepted defeat and had Coote summon a hangover potion; when told that wasn’t they kept in stock (unsurprisingly, Harry realized), he had instead opted for a familiar combination of a headache relief and an antipyretic potion.<br/>Needing a moment for the potions to settle, Harry had asked Coote to relay the message to Draco, warning that he’d be late to breakfast. The house elf had shared that Master Malfoy had already eaten, so Harry allowed himself to sink back into the pillows, waiting for the potions to take effect.<br/>When the headache relief set in, Harry had gotten up to shower; by the time he got out, his skin no longer felt like it was burning up, and Harry felt moderately more human.<br/>Having no real appetite, though, Harry went straight for the study, expecting to find Draco there.<br/>He was right, of course.<br/>Harry had knocked on the door in the same motion that he reached for the doorknob, habitually opening the door without waiting for permission.<br/>"Good morning," he said with an easy smile, as if any other morning.<br/>While he didn’t want to downplay their relation, he didn’t feel the need to bring it up either. The fact that they had gone to Harry’s room had allowed Draco the freedom of choice, and Harry was interested in seeing how broad a decision he had made.<br/>Harry had slept with Draco without expectations, something that was still true this morning; but it was also an unavoidable truth that Harry had enjoyed himself, hangover included. While Harry certainly wouldn’t have opposed Draco staying the night, he was aware that that might not have been a likely outcome.<br/>"Sleep well?" he asked with a crooked smile as stepped into the room, closing the door behind him.
