Exploding Snap Trope: Five (5) of Gryffindor | Ensemble cast
Word Count: 3628
Summary: Draco wants Harry to never come to the coffee shop where he is working again. But Harry interprets his attempts to make it creepy as a way of flirting.
Excerpts: “Good-looking? Are you kidding? His hair looks like a bird’s nest, and all he and his red-headed friends wear are hand-me-downs. He looks like a charity case.” “That’s why you checked out his biceps last week when he came here in short sleeves.”
“Whoa, that proposal is the most direct one I’ve ever gotten. I think we’d better go on an ordinary date first.”
Rec Notes: This fic has confident, flirty Harry and catty Draco. (but I think the author has done a good job balancing it. Draco doesn't fall into the horrible, bully category.) Draco is super obnoxious (and he does have his reasons) around Harry (who just laughs it off) As the tags say, Draco is a Barista but Harry works at an Indian restaurant which is pretty cool!! Harry, Blaise and Hermione are all POC and I loved the representation. And the interactions / flirting between Draco & Harry are quite funny and interesting. The fic really has an ensemble cast - it's got The Golden Trio, Neville, Ginny & Luna. The Slytherins - Pansy, Blaise, Greg and others too. There's also Sirius and Remus who were a great surprise, Harry lives with them now and I adore that (the backstory is pretty close to canon)! Plus there's Andy, Tonks and Teddy too who make an appearance! Loads of fun! And, if you’re a fan of Sirius and Draco heart-to-hearts - its got a scene for you!
