last time you scratched at my door

Draco picked up the silver flask, turning it in his hands and listening to the liquid move around inside. He had enough for one more visit. Sighing, he set it down on the counter. What he should do was just lock himself up in the shop for the weekend and work on the various projects that needed doing. It would be the prudent thing to do.

With a glance at the time, he decided to lock up and call it a day. It was a few minutes early but there hadn't been customers in nearly an hour. He had just turned the lock and did the charms when there was a knock at the door.

He didn't have to look to know who it was.

And she didn't bother with an excuse. “May I come in?”

What he should do was call her a dirty-blooded little whore and warn her that if she didn't want her husband to know, she would never come back here before slamming the door in her face.

Draco moved aside to let her enter.
