The first few times were just a coincidence.
The next times had to be just a accident.
Draco had come to Teddy’s 14th birthday party with one goal in mind. Well, mostly two. He had to first congratulate his cousin and give him his birthday present.
The important goal was… to talk to Potter.
Ever since the growing interest he tried to stifle towards Potter, he started sensing Potter felt the same way. Draco had to find out for himself, hence the talking to Potter.
Yet, everytime he tried to approach the man, Teddy would intervene. The Hufflepuff would just appear anytime Draco got close to Potter. At first, Draco had just shrugged and go back to who he had been conversing with.
But when it had happened for the 20th time, (yes. 20.), when Teddy stole the empty seat next to Potter, Draco knew for a fact he was doing this for a reason.
Maybe the rumors had caught up to the boy, Draco mused as he leaned against the wall, half-heartly listening to Granger’s rant. He watched Potter burst out in laughter, patting Weasley on the shoulder. A strange feeling grew in his chest and he covered his mouth to hide his burning cheeks.
Finnigan joined them and soon Weasley was distracted. Potter waved him off and he left with Finnigan to do … something. Why would Draco know?
The man in question had his eyes glued on the now empty spot next to Potter. He quickly said goodbye to Granger and made his way to Potter. Teddy had also spotted the spot and was practically running to his dad.
Draco intercepted him and grabbed Teddy’s arm, smirking down at him.
“Edward-”
“Sorry cuz. I kinda really have to go see Dad right now so if you would please mo-” Teddy tried to cut him off but Draco shushed him.
“-I have noticed something you’ve been trying to do all afternoon. Which is try to avert Potter’s attention from me. Is that correct?”
Teddy winced, eyes flickering to Potter before meeting his and hesitantly nodded. Draco sighed, the boy had heard the rumors.
It’s too bad he was going to make them true.
Draco bent down slightly to Teddy’s height and moved his hand to his shoulder.
“Edward. I’m going to fuck your dad.” Teddy’s eyes widened and he made a noise before Draco cut him off. “And there is nothing you can do about it.”
With that said, Draco straightened up to his normal height and made his way to Potter. Teddy watched him go, stuck in his state of shock.
Draco felt Teddy watch as he joined Potter and started talking.
----------------------------
Draco left Potter’s quarters pleasantly proud and no longer single. He was on his way to the kitchens for a cup of tea and a biscuit when he ran into someone. That someone was Teddy. Draco smiled down at the boy and watched as his eyes went back and forth with P-Harry’s door and Draco.
Draco’s smiled widened as Teddy’s face paled and he took a step back. Draco winked at the poor boy and continued to the kitchen.
What a lovely morning.
