"Uh, what about your friends? They don't exactly like me, and for good reason."
"It was Ron's idea, actually. I think it's mostly because he wants to keep an eye on you. But, he made the point that you might know stuff that could help us in the long run."
"Oh,"
"Yeah,"

"Would you like to travel with us? We're thinking of leaving in a couple of days. Hermione thinks she's got a lead, and well, I thought I would offer." Potter invited hesitantly.
"Hang on," Draco blinked slowly at the sea. "You're asking me to come with you? On the run?"
"Yeah,"

On the fifth morning, after Draco parked himself next to Potter and handed him his coffee, Potter surprised him with a question: "Would you like to travel with us?"
"Come again?"

For the next four mornings, Draco found Potter in the same spot and always offered him coffee. They chatted about menial things and watched the tide. It was nice and provided something to look forward to.

"Malfoy, not all of us have a working knowledge of Latin," Potter cut in.
"Which sort of defeats the purpose of having attended Hogwarts," Draco pointed out.
"Oh, shut up,"

"I'm sorry, by the way," Potter said, jarring Draco a little.
"What for?"
"The curse. In the bathroom. I didn't know that's what it did,"
"Really? Surely you could've deduced it? /Sectum/ for 'to cut' and -"

Draco scoffed. "My guess is she'd finally had enough of my Father's deranged waffling over how much of an honour it was. You know what happened last year, if I'd have stayed, I'm sure it would have only gotten worse."

Things that could easily help Potter turn the tide of this stupid war.
"I'm on the run, just the same as you, Potter." Draco risked a glance. "My Mother smuggled me out of the Manor on my birthday and sent me away. It's not exactly sunshine and roses having /him/ living in your spare bedroom."

But, in a way, Draco /was/ there for them. He doubted his Mother had sent him packing to find Potter and his crew, but it didn't escape his thoughts that perhaps his Mother had hoped he would find them. Draco knew things.

"Why are you here?" Potter asked, his gaze firmly on the coffee in his mug. "Hermione was right about you not being here for us. But that doesn't tell us anything about why you are here."
Draco contemplated this. Granger was right, in a way, that Draco wasn't there for them.

"It tastes as good as it smells, I promise," Draco sipped his and smiled. He'd learned very young, from a very enthused Dobby, how to brew strong and tasty coffee. The two of them lapsed into silence, broken only by the waves hitting the shore.

Draco pulled a mug from the recesses of his magically extended pockets, replicated it with a wave of his left hand, and poured each of them a hearty cup.
"Thanks," Potter took his and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing. I haven't had real coffee in ages."
"Thanks," Potter took his and inhaled deeply. "It smells amazing. I haven't had real coffee in ages."

He dug the Thermos into the sand between his legs enough for it to stand upright before opening it and letting the smell of hot coffee waft.
"Coffee?" He asked the still standing Potter.
"Uh, sure," He said, looking like a basilisk had asked him to tea and dropped onto the sand next to Draco.

Draco closed his eyes against the morning light and let the salty wind fill his lungs. In spite of the presence adjacent to him, Draco found himself relaxing minutely and dropping to sit cross-legged on the sand.

As soon as his feet hit the coarse sand, Potter was on his feet and pointing a wand at him. Draco, unperturbed by the hostility, continued his approach. As he came to stand at Potter's side, the wand dropped, but the suspicious gaze remained.

He'd just cleared the treeline when he noticed the very distinctive broad silhouette of Harry Potter sitting by the edge of the water. Draco considered leaving but once again decided /eh fuck it/ and crunched his way to Potter.

Draco filled a Thermos with enough for at least two more cups of coffee before walking down to the beach.Unlike the beach in France, the sand here was coarser, and water was way colder. Draco did not forsee going for a swim.

Two days later, Draco ran into Potter on the beach. It was a little after nine when Draco decided it would be nice to drink the rest of his coffee on the beach. Still clad in his pajamas with a down jacket and uggs over top...

"Get lost, Malfoy," Potter sniped again.
"With relish," Draco picked up his bag and walked away.

"Because if he were, surely we'd have already been swarmed by Death Eaters,"
"Granger has a point," Draco agreed.
"Shut up, Malfoy," Potter sniped. Draco raised his arms higher and shrugged. He hoped they would let him go soon, his arms were straining for having to hold them up this long.

"We don't have time for this, Harry," Granger, as ever placating the boys, intoned, "We should just let him go about his business. I think it's safe to assume he's not here for us."
"How'd you figure that, 'Mione?" Weasley asked.
"How'd you figure that, 'Mione?" Weasley asked.

"I did. It's not my fault you don't believe me,"
"How do we know you're telling the truth?"
"You don't, Potter,"
"Then why should we let you go?"
"I haven't asked you to," Draco sighed. "You're perfectly at liberty to take me hostage, Potter. I'm not about to fight my way out of this."

"What else is one meant to do in the woods, Weasley, other than camp?"
"I dunno, you're a shady guy. I wouldn't put weird pagan rituals past you, Malfoy."
"Why don't you tell us what you're actually doing here?" Potter cut in, eyes narrowed dangerously.

"Hello," He decided was the best way to plough forward. "I take it none of us were expecting company."
"What are you doing here?" Came the venomous question from, unsurprisingly, Weasley.
Draco opted for the truth, the little good it would do him. "Looking for somewhere to pitch my tent,"
