Characters/Pairings: Draco/Harry
Rating: M
Word Count: 5693
Content/Warning(s): No Archive Warnings Apply;
Inspired by Sherlock Holmes, Case Fic, Beekeeping, Honey, Smitten Harry Potter, Older Harry Potter, Draco Malfoy in Glasses, Older Draco Malfoy
Summary/Prompt: Harry gaped, speechless. Then he gave it two seconds of thought and pulled himself together. "Oh. Andromeda told you."
"On the contrary, Potter." Malfoy wiped his hands with a tea towel from over his shoulder. He nudged his glasses up his nose with one long finger. "I have spent the past thirty years in the study of human nature, psychology, and criminal investigation. Not to mention Muggle methods of fingerprinting, forensics, even 19th century physiognomy." He paused, and the lines at the corners of his mouth creased sharply. His eyes glittered. "...And also, yes, Andromeda told me."
--
An ode to Sherlock Holmes featuring one recently retired Magipathologist, one sharp-tongued beekeeper, and purloined case files from the DMLE that are absolutely none of their beeswax.
A/N: Prompt #41 envisioned H/D growing old a la Sherlock and Watson. "Retired, and now keeping bees, they get their grandchild to steal cold case files to solve from their rocking chairs." Teddy plays the role of case file courier in this fic. Features many nods to short stories from the Sherlock Holmes oeuvre. Any spoilers for those stories are heavily disguised in HP clothes. I hope you enjoy it, prompter!
Thanks a trillion to E. for the britpick/beta.
