Imagine Harry’s got a tattoo of a Golden Snitch
So it’s rarely seen and if you get a glimpse of it it’s gone again
Whenever Harry’s needs something to distract himself he waits until he sees his tattoo flying around somewhere on his body
Then he tries to catch it by touching it, it’s difficult though
Harry works at the ministry, so does Draco.
They usually avoid each other and only talk if necessary
One day Harry has to bring some files to Draco’s office
Everything’s the usual, they don’t talk and don’t look at each other, Draco just watches him out of the corner of his eye
They don’t say goodbye or anything, Harry just turns to leave and that’s when Draco gets a glimpse of the snitch peeking out of his sleeve
But as soon as he tries to check it’s gone again, and so is Harry who just closed the door behind him
So he must’ve imagined it.
Tho it happens again, this time they’re in an elevator that’s heading to their floors
That’s when Draco, out of the corner of his eye again, sees something flying around on Harry’s neck
A little startled he stares but it’s gone again
Harry looks at him questioningly
»I need a coffee I‘m still half asleep,« Draco just tells him dismissively
But it happens again. And again and again--
To a point where Draco, whenever the chance is given, tries to cross ways with Harry
Just to try and find whatever that thing is that he thinks he sees on him sometimes.
It bothers Harry to no end
He liked that they’ve avoided each other because then he was able to concentrate on his work instead of thinking of Malfoy
Now it seems like he’s everywhere. But not just that, he gets the feeling that he’s being watched
There were times when Harry noticed Draco checking him out- at least that’s what it looked like. Those were times when he probably thought Harry isn’t watching him
One day Harry’s on his way to Diagon Alley. He’s meeting his best friends there during his lunch break.
Harry is tempted to tell Ron and Hermione, because Malfoy’s clearly up to something
But he decides against it, he can handle this. It’s not different than school was.
There wasn’t one day at Hogwarts where Draco was not watching him or the other way around, right?
He’s deep in thought while passing some shops when he gets startled by a hand grabbing his
When he looks to his right, just to see who it is, his gaze meets grey eyes
Completely lost Harry just stares at Draco, who’s also kind of taken aback
Harry keeps still and watches Draco; who’s carefully lifting his hand, as if trying to hold something he just catched between their locked hands
Draco looks at Harry’s hand, his thumbs now lightly pressing on each side of his palm, keeping the Snitch in place by holding it’s wings
Harry’s eyes widen when Draco mumbles »A Snitch?«
No one knows about this tattoo, not even his closest friends. Harry has kept it a secret
Which was easy because never has anyone seen it apart from himself
And now he’s here, with Draco Malfoy out of all people, who’s not just noticed but even managed to catch his tattoo
»Why didn’t I think of that? Of course you‘d choose a tattoo like this. But why this enchantment? Don’t you want to see it once in a while?«
Harry’s still a little startled when he replies »It was supposed to be a secret. I didn’t want anyone knowing it’s there.«
Draco looks at him and then down at the Snitch again before he lets go of Harry’s hand
»Did you follow me here just for that?«
Harry asks a little curious now.
»I’m sorry. I- err... should get going.«
A little flustered Draco turns to leave but Harry stops him
»Malfoy, wait. You wanna come with me? You haven’t eaten yet, do you?«
During his lunch breaks Harry often has seen Draco following him these last days
But before that he has noticed that overall the employees at the ministry are not very keen with Draco working there
Which was the reason Draco sat alone in the cafeteria quite often or didn’t come out of his office during lunch break at all.
With a jolt Harry does notice that he hasn’t avoided Draco as much as he’d thought
He’s been watching him subconsciously since the day they both started to work there
And so did Draco. Because how else has he noticed the Snitch to begin with?
Harry can’t help but smile a little at this thought.
His smile just gets bigger when Draco replies:
»If you really have to know it, I did not eat lunch yet. I happen to have some time to spare, so sure Potter, I‘ll go with you.«
It turns to a mischievous grin when his friends join them and he hears Ron muttering:
»I fcking knew this would happen sooner or later.«
From this day on they began obsessing over each other again, having lunch together and spending their time together if possible. Sometimes in the morning when it’s just them in the elevator Draco would catch the Snitch when it appears on Harry’s neck or his hands and Harry just grins while rolling his eyes. It’s Hermione who asks them one day while having lunch together if they’re dating. Harry, being flustered, wants to deny but Draco just confidently tells her they’ve been dating for quite a while now (on the inside he’s panicking but who the hell does Hermione think she is trying to take him by surprise like this with a question like that). Harry’s bewildered but just goes along.
And since then they’ve officially been together.
