au where harry goes on the amazing race with ron, only to fall in love with their team's camera operator, draco malfoy.
nobody knows where he went, rarely showing face in wizard society, but a muggle reality show was the last place harry expected to see him.
draco's not supposed to interfere, but sometimes he films a specific spot to drop hints (and because harry is always looking at him, he immediately gets it). he teaches harry (only harry) a few words to aid them in each country, a culmination of all the places he's been to because of TAR. his kindness and travel intellectualism, paired with his soft smile when harry cracks a joke or solves a puzzle, makes harry's heart go BADUMP... BADUMP!
the audio person (blaise) tells him off for being too friendly with the team (shows bias), but draco huffs, cause it's not like he's directly helping, right? plus, he has front row seats to harry potter and ron weasley making complete fools out of themselves.
ron dgaf what's happening with drarry - he's determined to beat hermione and ginny's team, who bragged that ron and harry can't outsmart or out-physical them. he's so over harry pining and obsessing over the same guy, still. but he laughs when harry tries to impress draco and fails, and embarrasses harry in front of his crush especially since harry makes it so easy, like ogling draco when he's on a water break.
---
draco: busy filming, has to run at their pace or faster with a giant camera on his shoulder, not 100% paying attention.
harry: (thinking: look at me draco!) i can outrun them! *trips over literal air, allowing ginny and hermione to beat them to the mat*
also harry: witty, natural yet awkward charisma, does well under pressure, good at deduction but even better with ron, humble and likeable too
