“That we do,” Draco answered without even thinking. He didn’t like how easily that answer came to him and how much he actually meant it. He did think that he and Harry objectively looked good together, their colours complimenting each other nicely and Draco tried to convince himself that that was all there was to the fast answer.<br/>Once they entered the actual gala, Draco actually felt grateful for the hand on his arm, feeling grounded for the first time at any of these kinds of events. For once, he wasn’t there alone and even though Harry was just his fake boyfriend it was still with a great sense of relief that Draco could conclude that they were going to have to stick together.<br/>“Do you want to mingle or do you want to claim a corner and hope that nobody sees us?” He asked in what was merely a whisper, the latter clearly being offered as a joke, but there was no denying that Draco wished that they could just hide away and not have to talk with anyone.
