Buster would probably let Suki, Porsha and Darius see the Moon Troupe's shows for free if they asked, but they line up to buy tickets anyway just to support him and the gang.

The Floo line had been tetchy, dropping calls and, occasionally, sending visitors to the jeweler’s down the street. Harry’d let it be, unbothered, or not bothered enough, until Hermione was deposited into a neighbor’s spare bedroom— at which point, it was no longer really his choice.

She’d asked a colleague who’d asked a friend who’d asked a cousin who’d made the recommendation.

That was how Draco Malfoy came to be standing in Harry’s foyer.

“It’s nice,” he said, doing a cursory spin, glance skipping over Harry’s home, briefcase in hand, cloak still on.

“Can I take that?” Harry offered, gesturing to the coat rack, the thing moody from disuse.

“No need,” Draco answered. “The Floo?”

Harry showed him to the living room, the main fireplace.

“Do you know the year the house was built?”

“I— no. It’s 18th-century, but—”

Draco cut him off, a smile that betrayed an amused impatience curling small over his lips.

“Yes, I was rather hoping for specifics. I know it’s 18th-century, given the—” and he gestured then, vaguely, to the house, to nothing in particular, “but the Floo coding legislation underwent several revisions, new statutes and such, in the latter decades. Depending on the build date, it could help identify the particulars of the problem.”

“Ah,” Harry answered eloquently. “I could send a note to Ms. Aldrich? I’m a tenant, technically, so I’m not really up to date on the history, but I think she’d know. I think it was a family home for a good while, something like three generations, maybe. I mean, I don’t know that they owned it all the way back, but—”

Harry paused, feeling the babble spilling out of him. “Anyway, it— I could send an owl. If you like.”

Draco shook his head, deftly folding his cloak over the nearby sofa and placing his briefcase on the coffee table, unlatching it, rolling up his sleeves.

“Diagnostic spells and magitachometer will do us nearly as well. Just might require a bit more patience.” He withdrew the device, began adjusting a series of dials and switches along the side.

He glanced up. “You’re welcome to observe, of course, but it isn’t strictly necessary. If you have other things to do…”

He let the implication linger, and Harry could take a hint.

“Yeah, sure. Few letters to respond to, if you don’t mind.”

Draco hummed, and Harry departed for the stairs, ascending to his bedroom, his desk, the quiet awareness of Draco’s presence following and lingering like a fog.

“Tea?” Harry offered a bit past an hour later, cup already in hand.

Draco pushed his hair from his forehead, rose from his kneel in front of the hearth. “Alright,” he said, accepting the saucer, sitting on the chaise, summoning Harry’s sugar from the kitchen without waiting for invitation.

Harry, sat in his favorite chair, jacquard and overstuffed, nodded at the shaker. “How did you know I’d have sugar?”

“Because, in spite of your many faults, Potter, you’re not a monster.” He took a magnanimous sip, eyes alight.

Harry scoffed a sound like a laugh.

“And,” Draco offered eventually, “Weasley takes sugar in his tea, too. An ungodly amount, I might mention. So.”

“You notice things like that,” Harry said, eyes trailing from the shaker to Draco’s hands, fiddling with his teaspoon.

“A lot worth noticing,” Draco responded, deferring. “It’s served me well, anyway. Helps with the job, to be sure.”

“Yeah?” Harry answered, not reading too far in.

Draco placed his cup with a clink on the low oak table. “Here,” he said, a quick flourish and careful twist of his wand.

Suddenly threads of gold and green and blue shot across Harry’s living room, woven together, looping, delicately intertwined, then veering off along the walls into various corners and crannies.

Harry reached out for a string, and his fingers passed through it, thrumming, the feeling of it racing up his arm and pinging tenderly at the base of his skull, in his teeth.

“Oh,” he said, fingers drawing to the nape of his neck, chasing the odd sensation, but it was there and gone like that. “How did you do that?”

“Just an illumination charm,” Draco replied, a funny, fond look in his eyes.

“This is the web of house magic. Mostly. A bit of it’s yours. But you’ve got your wards, climate charms, Floo network, of course, some summoning enhancements, expansion work. Some personality, too,” he said, tracing a tangled line of gold.

Harry’s eyes followed it up, outwards, where it curled across the ceilings, reaching up into the second story. “And it’s just here?” he asked, quiet. “Always?”

Draco hummed, his own eyes falling on Harry’s face, following his gaze. “It’s sort of omnipresent like that.”

“Everywhere,” Harry said. Then, a bit breathless as he plucked at a braided strand: “Everything.”

Draco fell silent, a beat of it passing between them, before he shook his head, as if to clear it, and rose from the chaise. “Let me finish with your Floo, Potter. Shouldn’t be long now.”

“Would you show me?” Harry asked abruptly, not wanting to retreat again into his room. Not wanting to go.

Draco eyed him, his thumb tracing thoughtful, thoughtless circles over the hilt of his wand.

“Alright,” he said, at last. “I’ll show you.”

Has anyone endlessly dissected Armand's subtle Marius shade yet

I have done a thing. More things will probably happen eventually. Not entirely satisfied, this isn't the hand I usually write in but it's the one most commonly in use in the period.
