Draco's Driving Lessons

"I thought you hated all things Muggle," Harry pointed out.

"Oh, I do, but if I'm going to be stuck in Muggle London, or wherever else you choose to drag me that I can't Apparate, I feel that I should know how to drive," Draco explained. It did make perfect sense. It didn't mean Harry had to like it.

"Well …." Harry pondered his reponse, wary of Draco's temper. "You could call a taxi."

"And entrust my safety to a Muggle? I think not, Potter."

"Well, they would be serving you. Rather like a house-elf would."

Draco looked like he was considering Harry's words for a minute. "Nice try, Scarhead. Now shut up and teach me to drive."

"But wouldn't you rather have someone else --"

"No. What's the matter? Afraid I'll show you up? Afraid you're not as good a teacher as all your DA buddies claim?"

Harry seethed. He knew Draco was baiting him, but he couldn’t help it. The Slytherin could always raise Harry's hackles. "Hardly," he said through clenched teeth.

"I think that's it exactly." Draco got up and pushed his face into Harry's. "Scared, Potter?"

"You wish," Harry retorted automatically.

Unfortunately, ten minutes into the lessons Harry realised he was exactly that. Petrified, in fact. Clutching on for dear life, he knew this was going to be a lot harder than the DA ever was.


ART: The fabulously talented leochi has done a hilarious illustration for this piece, Driving Lesson! You really should go look at it! *dances*

Oh, man, poor Harry, subjected to Draco's will of learning...

Thank you very much for writing this for me!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! It was a great prompt. Though very late, it's still heart-felt. Hope you had a great one all that time ago. ♥

[leochi.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha - LOVE this! Poor Harry terrified and clutching on for dear life beside Draco is such a hilarious picture.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee. Yeah, this prompt was fun. Thanks, hon.

Oh, when I saw the prompt, I was like, Harry's in for it now. This is so great! I LOVE this line: "You wish," Harry retorted automatically.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's a classic line that I believe has to be revisited every now and again. Bet Harry's wishing he wasn't so easy to manipulate now! :D

Mini fic in thanks for this gold:

"As he looked at the smoking wreck of the car hood, Harry only felt relief that a lamp pole finally stopped Draco; unfortunately, the angry mob of market sellers approaching cut short any manifestation of worshipping the Earth he was still miraculously walking on."

*snickers* Love it!

[leochi.livejournal.com]

[blamebrampton.livejournal.com]

Snort! Oh this and Leochi's image have me giggling like mad!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks, hon. Isn't that image hilarious? Tells a story itself (ahh ... to be an artist). *is jealous but thrilled*

"You wish," Harry retorted automatically.

How I love the banted between these two! <3 :)

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! It's a classic that is always fun to return to on occasion. Thanks, hon.

[kaykayen.livejournal.com]

Eeeek! I imagine teaching a couple dozen teenagers spells is a walk in the park compared to teaching Draco how to drive!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Indeed! :D

[lokifan]

LMAO. Love it!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. The prompt alone made me laugh. :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Did you see leochi's art to go with it? *cracks up* Perfect!

I've been wanting to read this ever since I saw leochi's pic. *LOL* it was just as I imagined. Poor, Harry.

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yup, yup. Poor Harry indeed. :D

[rocket62204.livejournal.com]

Ahahahaha. That is so great and in character. I loved Harry's whole "like a house elf" try. And this was hot:

Draco got up and pushed his face into Harry's. "Scared, Potter?"

:D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Thanks. Glad you enjoyed it.

[aldehyde.livejournal.com]

HAHAH

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

:D Glad you enjoyed it.

[thrnbrooke.livejournal.com]

Oh tooo funny!

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Yay! Glad you liked. :D

[dirty-darella.livejournal.com]

*Pats Harry on the shoulder*

Poor thing. But maybe Draco will make it up to him later...

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Heehee. I'm sure, once he recovers, Harry will think of some way for Draco to make it up to him. ;)

By the way, I love the art on your icons.

[queen-jannah.livejournal.com]

So cute!:) Ah, this takes me back to my own driving lessons...many of them ended in tears.
Usually, it was the teacher who was crying. *g*

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I took driving lessons at school, and there were three students. Every time the one girl would drive, the other two of us sat in the back alternately snickering and fearing for our lives. :D Good times!

[charmed310.livejournal.com]

LOL! Road Rage!Draco

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! That's exactly what it looked like in the picture, didn't it?! Too awesome! I imagine him pissed off that the other drivers are beeping their horns at him because he's so awful! *g*

[svgurl.livejournal.com]

This made me laugh. But I did feel sorry for poor Harry, who got stuck teaching Draco how to drive. LOL

Great work! :D

[sesheta-66.livejournal.com]

Hee! I wouldn't want to teach Draco how to drive.
