Um… how long are these supposed to be? LOL. Right so … the set up before this scene is that Draco is feeling helpless and the fact that Greyback continues to hurt him after all these years makes him furious he hates himself and who he's become/what he's becoming and has no outlet for this rage building except for Potter.
Harry on the other hand is trying to be patient.
He turned to see Potter behind him, eyes wide and wand ready, and paused just long enough to show he was aware of his audience. Then he reached for a lamp and hurled it.
It smashed against the wall to Potter's left. Potter didn't flinch. When Draco grabbed the second lamp, Potter didn't hesitate.
"Incarcerous."
At this point I really needed to give Harry some backbone. He'd been pretty supportive through the fic but Draco needed a bit of house-training (cough) and Harry need show him he wasn't taking any shit. ALSO! Draco looks glorious pinned to the wall, angry, and spread wide for Harry doesn’t he? Yes, he does.
Draco growled as the magical bonds pulled him backwards, pinning him spread eagle against the far wall. His head hit hard and his teeth rattled with the impact.
Potter sat crouched, head in his hands, for a long while. Draco wondered if Potter was crying or gathering the self-control not to kill him.
When Potter looked up, his eyes were clear and bright with anger. "I liked that lamp," he said, standing and pacing the room. Glass ground into the hardwood floor beneath his sneakers. "This is my fucking home, Malfoy. You have been here for less than twelve hours. What here has offended you so badly that you are intent on destroying everything?"
Do you ever laugh at your own jokes? I do. Draco wondered if Potter was crying or gathering the self-control not to kill him… that still amuses me years later. IDEK. /o\ Also the 'I liked that lamp' – he has this deadly werewolf pinned to his wall and yet it's ANNOYING to lose a lamp he liked. [possibly a bit of author insertion there because DUDE don't break my shit, it exactly what I would be thinking. In theory.
Draco didn't mean to, and tried to stop himself but it was too late. Potter caught his glance to the shattered mirror. Judging by the knowing look and sudden silence, he understood too well.

"Let me down."
"No. I don't think so. We need to have a little talk. I had hoped we could go through this tomorrow after we'd both had a good night's sleep, but you don't waste any time making a nuisance of yourself." Potter stood before him and raised his index finger. "First rule: you don't break my shit. I don't care how much you hate yourself or the world. You don't take it out on my furniture. I have ten acres here. Go run it off. Chase rabbits, if you have to."
