Sweets for the Sweet
Scorpius walked into Harry’s kitchen holding a plastic bag in each hand. Harry didn’t look up from the box he was folding wrapping paper around.
“You could have had the shop do that, you know.”
“I know, but this way, it’s more…personal.”
“More of a mess, you mean.”
“Uh…huh.”
“Did you have to take out all of the contents of that drawer? There’s no space on the work-top to put the take-away.”
“I couldn’t find the tape.”
“You shouldn’t need tape- use a sticking charm.”
“I can’t. They don’t work in the Muggle world.”
“That’s crazy.”
“That’s life.”
“Why did you bother to wrap it at all?”
“It’s a present and it’s supposed to be a surprise. Didn’t your parents wrap presents for you on your birthday? Or did they just hand you things with the labels and price tags still attached?”
“Stop being sarcastic. My presents were wrapped, but I’ll bet you anything my parents didn’t wrap them.”
“I’m not taking that bet, because I’m sure you’re right. Hand me the scissors.”
“Here. What is this?”
“Uh…oh gosh, I’ve been looking for that! That’s the charger for my old laptop.”
“Laptop? What’s that?”
“It’s a computer. It used to be my cousin’s and it was grudgingly given to me when he got a flashier new one.”
“Why did you need a computer?”
“So I could write stuff and play games and troll around on the Internet.”
“What in Merlin’s name are you talking about?”
“Never mind. Tape, please.”
“Here.”
“Ow! Are you trying to pull all of the hair off my arm or was that just an accident?”
“That was a reminder to you that if you don’t hurry up, this take-away is going to get cold. And so am I.”
“It’s always about you, isn’t it? OW!”
“Next time it won’t be the hair on your arm I stick this to. What are you wrapping up anyway?”
“They’re the peanut butter sweets that she likes. I had to get them imported.”
“Sounds disgusting.”
“So does some of that fancy stuff you insist on ordering whenever we go out for dinner.”
“I can’t help it if I have good taste.”
“Good taste in men, yes. In food? That’s questionable.”
“Hey, I’ve consented to eat this curry with you, haven’t I? Despite the fact you’ll be sweating Madras sauce all night.”
“That should warm you up then.”
“That’s not what I was referring to when I said I was getting cold and you know it.”
“I dunno; I can be pretty dense when I put my mind to it.”
“Don’t I know it.”
“What’s that supposed to mean?”
“Aside from having to throw my naked body in your direction to get you to notice me?”
“I thought you were setting me up.”
“Setting you up for what?”
“You know how the press can be with me. And then there’s your…parents.”
“What about them?”
“Nothing. Let’s change the subject back to my hairy bits.”
“No, I’m not interested in those now; I’m too hungry. Hurry up.”
“I’m almost done. Put your finger here so I can tie this ribbon.” Pause. “That’s not where I told you to put your finger.”
“Isn’t it?”
“No.”
“Are you sure you want me to move it?”
“For the purposes of getting this present wrapped as quickly as possible, yes.”
“Oh, all right. You’re going to a lot of trouble for this girl, you know- importing sweets, wrapping presents.”
“Well, she’s gone to a lot of trouble for us!”
“What do you mean?”
“If I can find the laptop, I’ll show you.”

Good on Harry for wrapping the peanut buttercups up without magic.
