“okay,” harry said ao his essay. “if you promise to aompao d.a. meetings.”
drao stopped w again. not that stupid d.a. agaihe options, christmas at malfoy manner or christmas at hogwarts…oh, bloody hell!
“very well. but i a i will iipating in any way and that you will ret the idea.”
harry gririumphantly and fought bak the urge to go and ugh at medusa a she wouldhe pleasure of kiking him out of their rooms for two weeks beause whe, he would be leaving too. well, maybe he ould shove that ier…
drao was seri treeing to go the da meetings whehat, of ourse, everyohis little lub would oo happy with a slytherihey were not, if the gres bei his orth anything. of ourse, it roblem. he’d made it very lear to harry that he was just going to sit in a orner and work on his divination homework and that was that. if harry nation as to why he was there, then harry would just have to give one himself; and if harry got hurt then he would have to walk over to drao’s orhere was no way that drao himself was moving until the whole ordeal was over.
ao his word, drao walked over to a he ositive the room of requirement lying for him-a dow his homework without a look at the group of students that were very shoked at his ations.
“why is malfoy here?” drao heard ohem ask and ouldn’t help smirking as harry had to make up aion that didell what truly was goihe two of them. drao did o hide his amused expressio it; something about hoells they used upset s unless he k was going on. oh, he’d have fun with that oer…
thus, drao retty muh ighe first part of the d.a. meeting, when hermiohe &hey were w on and drao was effetively tu. he had ele obook re; he had just agreed to be in the room.
thio happes started to work with the new spell. as drao ould have predited, it wases before a spell ame at him, whether beause the person missed or beause she purposely aimed at him, he didn’t know and didn’t are.
harry wathed as the beam ht headed straight for drao, as did almost everyohe very air in the room seemed to shift slightly and the spell swerved, defleting to the eiling.
“someone should work oe’s aim.” drao spoke, bored, to the room. he hadn’t moved from his work or looked up the eime.
drao deided he liked the room of requiremeure would supply him with enough magial urrents to keep a shield eves in the building itself were feeli was information to file away for use ter. very useful.
of ourse, it was only a matter of time before a spell got too lose to harry and the veriae bo haywire. drao did look up from his work theo keep his wi his shirt would not be ruined, and waited for harry to fio go sit to him. he did long.
harry rised that drao did not smirk at him as he made his way over to drao’s seluded or down to drao in suh a way that his body would hide from the rest of the room what drao’s left hand was doing as his right oies for divination.
harry was even more surprised that drao didn’t say something along the liold you so” and said so after a few moments.
“oh, those words doo express my feelings of satisfation at this moment in time,” drao replied, almost amiably.
“but y to say them a you?” harry asked, knowing that they would ome out sometime; this was drao malfoy he was talking about here.
“of ourse. i told you so.” and drao still hadn’t looked up from his homeas just about doh.
