WIP Snip
Thank you for the tags in the last little while @wolfpants @sweet-s0rr0w @teledild0nix. I'll pretend I'm early for WIP Wednesday tomorrow. Tagging @elskanellis @sorrybutblog @vivantesopales @kbrick only if you'd like.
Draco turns up his collar. "Can't hurt to sober up a bit more. Let's go then." She wavers as if she's about to protest then takes his arm and that's the way they walk, huddled together against the howling wind with their heads down. They weave through city streets and traffic bolsters and parked cars. A ragged looking fox darts down a side alley.
"Do you remember that song everyone sang in fourth year?" Millicent says, out of the blue.
"Which? 'I can't believe everything's as magical as you'?"
"No, no. That's not it. Pansy loved it. Really slow." She snaps her fingers. "The four Scottish wizards with the hair."
"With the hair. I'm so incredibly glad for your talent for descriptions. You'll make a good accountant with that eye for detail, as I can now be certain it's not the four bald Scottish wizards." She swats him and he knows he deserves it but he rubs his arm with an exaggerated motion.
"Shut up. Do you know the song? Cho couldn't remember it last night."
The tune comes back to him. "You make me dizzy like elf-made wine, something something."
"Yes!" Millicent hums the next few bars. They put together most of the words on the walk home. Millicent stops in front of her place and gives him an extra squeeze on the shoulder.
"Get home safe," she says. It's a different kind of spell, but one that sees him home, nonetheless.
