A/N – An outtake from some time while they are camping.

Granger

I am trying to read, Draco

What do you want

I'm bored

And Weasley keeps giving me looks

So give him looks back

No

He might think I'm into him

Or something

I'm pretty sure Ron knows we're dating

And given how he and Lavender were pretty public about their affection

I feel confident in saying he likes girls.

Whatever

Granger

Granger

I have an idea

Oh god

What?

Your ideas are often bad

They are not

When you're bored they are

Are not

Whatever

Are you going to let me read

Or do I have to listen to your idea first

It's not really listening

It's also reading

Fine, pedantic boy

Do I have to read your idea before you'll let me go back to my book?

Yes

Then get on with it

You know how we write these notes

Back and forth

To keep our conversations private from Scarhead and Weasel?

Do you think it would kill you to use their names?

Yes

I think it would

Fine

Go on

So it occurred to me

Oh god

What?

You're leading up to this very carefully

That never ends up anywhere good

Merlin

I know you

But you like me

I do

So I was thinking we could write dirty notes

Dirty notes?

Like

I'm taking your cock in my mouth and running my tongue around it

I don't have a cock

Granger!

What?

I don't

You would write that to me

Why would I do that

Exactly?

Because it's sexy.

Granger

Granger

Granger

I see you ignoring me

Oh Draco, Oh Draco

I want your big thick cock in my dripping pussy

You mean something like that?

Well

Yes

No

What?

But you just did

I was being sarcastic

So be sarcastic again

No

Please

Draco

No

This make me uncomfortable

It does?

Yes

But why?

I mean – we DO this

For real

With actual bodies

Our actual bodies

And I like your body

A lot

And I assume you like mine

I mean, you do, right?

Yes

So why not words?

You like words

I just

I don't know

It feels uncomfortable

And embarrassing

It makes me feel stupid

Like I'm going to say it wrong

Or something

Oh

I'm sorry

I thought it would be fun

I didn't mean

I'm sorry

Granger

I'm just stupid

No

Never ever

You couldn't be stupid if you tried

Your friends?

Stupid without trying

But you're amazing

And I'm sorry

Thanks

I guess

Hey

I love you, you know

I know I'm a jerk most of the time

But I really do

Thanks

I'm sorry

Don't be sorry

I just miss you

I'm right here

It's not the same with Scarhead and Weasel here

Living in a musty tent with your girlfriend is one thing

Living in a musty tent with two blokes who hate you

Kind of another

We used to be able to just be

I don't know

Silly

And you kissed me whenever you wanted to

And we were just

I don't know

It was nice

And now it's different

And I miss you

And what it was like

I do too

You do?

Yeah

You used to come up behind me and wrap your arms around me

And whisper in my ear

And kiss me

And we'd dance

Remember the time we just danced around the tent

Yeah

And how we'd lay on our bed, all tangled up

And you'd tell me Muggle fairy tales

While I played with your hair

Yeah

I believed it would be all right then

It will

I don't know

It seems like it just keeps getting worse

More dangerous

I know

But it'll get better

Promise?

Promise

What are you doing?

Putting my book away

Why?

Oh, crap

I totally ruined your train of thought, didn't?

I'm an arse

I'm sorry

Well, you are an arse

That is true

But I thought

Maybe we could go for a walk

Without our roommates

And practice shield charms

And notice-me-not spells

And perhaps

Uh

Consider some al fresco romance

Are you saying?

Yes

I think I need to be annoying more often

Oh god.
