"So tell me, how's Quidditch training going?" Luna squinted at Draco, who was dozing off into his fried sausage.
Harry nudged his boyfriend, who sat up with a start. "What?" Draco said, eyeing her blearily.
"It's that hard, huh?" Luna scribbled on her parchment whilst Harry nodded, a hint of a smile curling up his lips.
"What are you on about?" growled Draco. "Spent the night at Harry's, we were…"
Harry covered Draco's mouth and finished, "Practicing feints, of course."
"What in Merlin's name?"
Harry nudged Draco discreetly and pointed at their coach who was listening from the next table.

Luna brushed lint off Harry's cape as Draco rolled his eyes. He drawled, "What happened, Lovegood? Don't have anything to write about?"
Luna twirled her broccoli necklace, looking down at her ballet slippers. "The final of the Quidditch Cup is worth a few columns of the Quibbler."
She muttered low under her breath, "And the Snorkacks are gone, perhaps they'll haunt the game?"
Harry turned to look at Draco. As always, the sight of Malfoy in his gloves and arm guards, plus the smell of leather, made him horny.
Just before they entered the stadium, Harry kissed the reserve Seeker.

"And Potter veers off to the right! He escaped the bludger!" Lee Jordan's enthusiastic description of the match did nothing to soothe Draco's nerves. He anxiously peered up at Harry
"The Wasps score again, whilst the Arrows' Seeker escapes another Bludger!"
"Come on, Potter, hold on!" mumbled Draco, looking up at the tiny blue shape that darted below the clouds. "If I have to replace you, you won't like the results tonight!"
Luna turned her head, nearly hitting Draco's eye with her arrow-shaped hat. "Oh, you won't practice with him?"
At that moment Jordan yelled. "Merlin! The bludger hit Harry!"

Harry blearily looked around.
"Finally, you're awake!" Draco sighed in relief.
"Did we win?"
Draco glared at him whilst he patted his tousled hair. "Yes, and I should punish you for getting hit with the bloody bludger!"
Harry smirked. "I'm all for punishment as you know."
Luna coughed delicately and Harry blushed. She looked wonderingly at the two of them. "No wonder your team always win; you take Quidditch so seriously!"
Harry sat up in the bed and smiled, seeing Draco's blush. "You caught the Snitch?"
"Sure."
"He punched the Wasps' beater," said Luna.
"Bloody fool hurt you!" growled Draco.
