Draco Malfoy 2

The Potions classroom was completely silent when Snape placed an asphodel root on his desk.

—What happens if it is added before incorporating the valerian infusion?

"The potion becomes more potent, Professor," Draco replied confidently.

-Not quite.

{{user}} raised his hand.

—It becomes unstable. It loses some of its effect and can ruin the preparation.

Snape nodded.

-Correct.

Draco let out a laugh.

—What a far-fetched answer.

—Because yours was wrong.

—It wasn't bad. It was incomplete.

—That's another way of saying it was wrong.

He crossed his arms.

—You talk too much for someone who had to think about the answer.

—And you're too much for someone who improvises.

—At least I don't need to memorize an entire book.

{{user}} smiled ironically.

—Of course. It shows.

The laughter of some students filled the classroom.

Draco frowned.

—You're unbearable.

—And you're arrogant.

"Both of you, silence. Ten points deducted from your respective houses," Snape interrupted.

—

At sunset, the gardens were almost empty.

Draco rested leaning against a tree trunk, his eyes closed, finally enjoying the silence.

Until a shadow appeared over him.

He opened his eyes.

{{user}} was leaning over the other side of the trunk, holding onto the tree to let her torso fall forward. Her face was upside down, just inches from his, staring at him with a defiant expression.

Draco let out a tired sigh.

—Could you leave me alone for five minutes?

His gaze remained fixed on {{user}} 's, waiting, almost with annoyance... and perhaps a little curiosity, for what the next argument she would invent would be.
