Harry stumbles into Hermione and Draco’s shared office, arms full of paperwork, only to find the two deep in an animated argument. Hermione is waving a file furiously while Draco leans casually against the desk, smirking, clearly enjoying riling her up. Their words are sharp but laced with a tension that even Harry can’t ignore. When he clears his throat, Hermione jumps, dropping her file, while Draco straightens, avoiding Harry’s knowing grin. "Interrupting something?" Harry asks, eyebrow raised. Hermione stammers out a denial, cheeks flaming, while Draco mutters about ungrateful coworkers. Harry watches in amused silence as they trip over each other to change the subject, their flustered energy palpable. As Harry leaves, he can't help but laugh quietly, realizing there’s more between them than they’re willing to admit.

Harry teases Hermione about her chemistry with Draco, suggesting there might be something between them. Hermione denies it vehemently, but Harry remains unconvinced, urging her to reconsider. Draco, sitting across the room with earmuffs on while pretending to focus on paperwork, overhears but keeps his distance. Harry encourages Hermione to open her mind to the possibility that people can change, including Draco. Hermione dismisses the idea, but Harry plants a seed of doubt. Draco, ever the observer, offers a sarcastic comment, making Hermione roll her eyes, but there’s an undeniable tension in the air.

The trio is stuck late at the office, reviewing documents. Draco and Hermione are working closely, their proximity sparking subtle tension. Harry observes them from the corner of the room, occasionally making comments that highlight the growing closeness between the two. Hermione is focused on work, while Draco's attention seems to wander toward her more often than he’d like to admit. Harry teasingly comments on their dedication to the task at hand, but it's clear he's aware of the chemistry building between them. Before he leaves, Harry offers a quiet remark to Hermione, advising her not to overthink things with Draco, leaving her to reflect on his words.

The trio meets for drinks at a wizarding pub, and Harry observes the growing dynamic between Hermione and Draco. Despite their usual bickering, there’s a newfound ease between them, and Harry can’t help but comment on it. Draco orders Hermione’s drink without asking, which catches Harry’s attention. He teasingly points out the subtle shift in their relationship, pushing them to admit their connection. Hermione is embarrassed by Harry’s comments, while Draco hides a small smile. By the end of the night, the tension has dissipated, and the trio enjoys a lighthearted moment, with Harry raising a toast to new beginnings.
