Eighth Year, swearing/strong language

The first couple times he thought it was a coincidence. The next couple times he thought it was just weird. After it happened ten more times it was annoying. So he bought an entire box, a wrapped, straight from the factory, box and every single card was Harry fucking Potter and that, that, was absolutely fucking hilarious.

“I’m serious, every time,” Draco insisted, raising his eyebrows.

Pansy sat back in the plush purple chair in the eighth year common room and shook her head.

Blaise laughed, “It’s not possible, you’re having us on.”

“Give me a chocolate frog and I’ll show you,” Draco said smugly.

Blaise flipped open his bag and Pansy groaned, “Oh, don’t! He’s just mumping for free chocolate or attention,” she frowned slightly, “or both, more likely.”

“They’re just chocolate frogs,” Blaise pulled out a slightly battered carton and tossed it over to Draco.

Draco grinned, scooting to the edge of his chair and held the box out and opened it with a theatrical flourish. The chocolate frog jumped out and Blaise snatched it out of the air, popping it into his mouth with satisfaction. Draco plucked the card from the bottom of the box with two fingers and held it up with a smug grin. It was a Harry Potter card.

Blaise laughed.

“That was only once!” Pansy rolled her eyes.

“What was only once?” A soft dreamy voice asked.

Pansy twisted in her seat, “Draco says that whenever he opens a chocolate frog, he always gets Potter cards.”

“Really?” Luna walked into their little circle, sitting on the end of the couch near Pansy, “That seems fun.” She reached into her robe and pulled out a handful of things, butterbeer caps, an acorn, some string, lots of loose hard candy and two chocolate frog boxes. She passed them over to Draco and leaned on the arm of the couch, watching him attentively.

Draco only hesitated a second then shrugged and opened the first box. Plucking out the frog and handing it over to Luna who stared at it meditatively and then gave it to Pansy with a smile. Draco pulled the card out and showed it to the group and then set it next to the first on the table in front of them.

“A coincidence!” Pansy said but leaned forward slightly as Draco opened the second box.

He ate the frog himself this time and removed the third chocolate frog card with a satisfied air, it was Harry Potter.

Blaise grinned like a cheshire cat, “No fucking way!”

“That’s a wonderful trick, Draco,” Luna said, clapping her hands.

“I’ve got one!” Dean stepped into the gap between two chairs, tossing over a box.

Seamus stepping up behind his shoulder, “I want the frog,” he said as he lobbed another box along with Dean’s.

More people were starting to gather and a few ran to their rooms or sent patronus’ to tell their friends. Draco went pale for a second and swallowed hard then lifted his chin and went on like this was exactly what he was expecting. He opened box after box and slowly the table in front of him began to fill with chocolate frog cards and every single one of them was Harry Potter.

“Bloody unbelievable,” Blaise whispered.

Seamus was shaking his head, “The odds are just, this- It’s impossible! You must have rigged it somehow!”

Draco grinned smugly at his strange and somewhat dubious new talent, “I told you.”

Someone behind his shoulder held out another chocolate frog box. Draco was a bit bored of the game but everyone was watching so he opened it anyway and blinked. The chocolate frog jumped away unheeded as he stared, the card wasn’t Harry Potter.

Draco looked up.

Harry was leaning over the back of his chair and looked down at him with a grin and a conciliatory shrug, “I always get Dumbledore.”

“Mr. Weasley conjured up candles to light the darkening garden before they had their homemade strawberry ice cream, and by the time they had finished, moths were fluttering low over the table, and the warm air was perfumed with the smells of grass and honeysuckle.”
