On reserving at scorched

[wholived]

Are you really going to try this again? It went so smashingly well at the last game, after all. I'm not sure this is a good plan, and I'm less sure I want any involvement in it.

I'm sure. Also, I fully expect you to return my wand to me.

[wholived]

As usual, you're setting yourself up to be disappointed by wanting too much from others.

[alphaophiuchi]

'Too much'? [you'll excuse the snide tone, of course.] I hardly think that's too much.

[wholived]

[ oh no he will excuse nothing ]

Honestly, why would I give it back to you? So you can join the other Death Eaters again? Not likely.

[alphaophiuchi]

Are you stupid? Did your mother manage to drop you on your head before she met her untimely and fortunate end? Do you even think about the moronic things that come out of your mouth?

This is the most inappropriate use of icon

[ unlike you, Draco, Harry can be VERY confrontational. And physical.
]

[ he reaches out, grabs Draco by the shirt, and draws his - Draco's - wand. ]

No, Malfoy, YOU'RE the one that doesn't think about what he says. I THINK it'd be poetic justice, hexing you with your own wand. Don't you?

awwww yeah.

[alphaophiuchi]

I think you'd be an idiot to try it. [he just glares down his nose at Harry, one hand coming up to catch the wrist of the hand holding his shirt, gripping it tight enough to bruise.] Let me go before you hurt yourself.

[wholived]

[ Harry grits his teeth against Draco's grip. Maybe he'll regret this later, and maybe he won't. Right now, he's still angry. He doesn't let go. Instead, he brings the wand up to Draco's neck, under his chin. ]

D'you think it would backfire? I wonder. I've nothing to lose, you realise. I'm not the one afraid of being hurt.

[alphaophiuchi]

[his chin tips up, and he swallows against the pressure of the wand. It's far from comfortable, but his expression remains steeled.]

Just try it.

[wholived]

[ There's a crazy moment where he really and truly considers it, and he starts to form the words...but. But. The last time he actually used his wand against Draco in real anger, he'd almost killed him. He could live with a lot of things, but killing Draco Malfoy when he'd actually saved his life not long ago...he couldn't.

He lets go and shoves Draco away from him. ]

Wouldn't want to give you the satisfaction.

[alphaophiuchi]

[he didn't think Harry would be able to do it. It doesn't matter how much bad blood there is between the pair of them; he very much doubts that Harry would want to perpetuate the killing like that. So he smirks when Harry shoves him away, despite stumbling a little.]

Of course you wouldn't. That's exactly why you can't do it.

[wholived]

Don't test me, Malfoy. It's WON'T. Not can't.

[alphaophiuchi]

[smirk smirk smirk.]

Of course, Potter. My mistake.
