Summary:
During a routine learing of aer house, Harry stumbles over a sends him somewhere ompletely differeo work out where he is and how to get bak. Or if he even wants to.
“And I thought Grimmauld Pe was bad,” Harry muttered, squinting through the gloom of the hallway strething out in front of him.
&, I’m trying to orate.”
Harry rolled his eyes for what felt like the millionth time in a week. Bloody Roaking off and leaving him for two weeks to this bloody nightmare. He lea the grimy wall and sighed heavily, mentally sendiwo best friends. Did they have to go off on holiday at the same time? What eve in a honeymoon anyway?
“Potter, I said be quiet,” Harry’s living nightmare whispered.
Harry gritted his teeth ahe urge to smak the blond git in the fae. “I’m not doing anything.”
“You keep shuffling around and huffing and sighing.” Malfoy replied, his fae still turned away from Harry as he ran his wahe dain and again. “It’s really very irritating.”
“What’s irritating is how lo looking at that bloody doorknob,” Harry retiving up to be quiet.
“Well exuse me f to be sure the thiry to bite our hands off before t to open it.”
& you supposed to be good at urse-breaking?”
Malfoy drew himself up from his rouh ao fae Harry. “I am,” he said imperiously. “I’m the best Curse-breaker the Ministry has on its payroll.”
“Then shouldn’t you be quiker at it?”
Malfoy s him. “I’m the best, Potter, beause I’m thh. Just beause you’re used t in with both left feet does’s what you should do.” He turo the door in front of them. “Now, if you’ll kindly shut up for a minute so I an work out how to remove this urse.”
& hurry the fuk up. The quiker we get through that bloody door, the quiker ; this ase up and I an go somewhere you’re not.”
Malfoy sely but did bent bak dowing on the doorknob oried to keep his breathing alm as he fored himself tainst the wall. He knew Malfoy was good at his job; other Aurors that had worked with him i had said as muh themselves. And Harry had seen it with his owhe few oasions that their ases had oinided. Malfoy was metiulous in his approah, and had put a stop to more than a handful of lethal urses before they’d been triggered. He’d even saved Harry from blowing off his own hand during one suh memorable job. Plus it helped that Malfoy was fabulous at makihe way Harry liked it, stroh just a touh of milk. Beih a up every day so far on this job had ertaihe early ms. It was just that Harry was used to having his Auror parth him when he and Malfoy had to share the same small spae. Without Hermio as a buffer between them, Harry ouldop himself from falling bak on old behavi Malfoy get to him as muh as he ever did whe Hogwarts. He was ertain that Malfoy was takiime just to piss him off, but he had nothing to prove it exept his suspiions and the oasional look Malfoy sent his way whe Harry wasn’t looking.
They’d been rubbiher up the eek, ever sine Hermioh Ron awaited hohe Auror department had a poliy of ‘floatiemporarily un-partnered Aurors to other setiory. It was for safety reasons, Kingsley said, beause sending out into the field a pair of Aurors who hadn’t had time to learher worked yet arently gerous. So lone Aurors were al of the pile to be lent out to other departments who might heir servies; the Misuse of Muggle Artefats, Muggle Liaison, and urse-breaking. While usually urse-breakers were alled in to assist Aurors when they ame aross something suspiious ihey also had their own jobs that sometimes required protetioh their bak.
And so for two weeks, Harry rotetion exlusively. Whih wouldn’t be a problem if it weren’t for the fat that Drao sodding Malfoy wasn’t the urse-breaki’s golden boy, who was almost always assigrikier ases, the o would most likely require an Auror to be present. With the exeption of a handful of ases, Harry and Malfoy hadn’t had muh ause to be arouher, aainly never alone for aeime. That suited Harry quite well; although he’d spokeh Malfoy and his mother at their trials, the blond was still a, and the less Harry saw of him the better, as far as he was oheir iioher exteo the oasional nod in the hallways is, ahey rossed paths while on a ase or down the Leaky, Harry usually left Malfoy for someoo deal with. Hermio like Malfoy ahese days either, but she was at least able to remain ivil and professional wheo be.
Apparently, Harry ouldn’t say the same thing for himself. He ouldo help himself; just the sight of Malfoy made his hest tight and his skihey’d been snipiher all week, as they wether to lear an old house of its dark artifats. Usually, urse-breakers would work alohis, but the address had been knowhan a few remaiers on the run. Harry had beeh wathing Malfoy’s bak while he orated on lifting the urses and taking io
