The interest that Potter was showing the work was surprising to Draco, taken aback by the fact that he wouldn’t just let Draco do all the dirty work and only get interested when there were news. It took a little getting used to, and still Draco wasn’t sure whether or not Potter was genuinely interested, or if he was just interested in getting Draco moving.<br/>“Mostly loose hypothesis,” he stated, not wanting to make it sound like he had it all figured out by now. He still felt that he was in the best position to help Potter figure it all out, but he was no miracle worker and it was an exceedingly hard case to crack.<br/>However, it was irresistible to get to think out loud to someone, not at all something that Draco was used to getting to do.<br/>“I have read through all the journals, and it seems that everybody is experiencing that same symptoms, except for you,” he started, looking briefly up at Potter, before looking down at the papers in front of him again, finding that looking at Potter was too intimate for his liking.<br/>“They don’t deviate by a lot, not enough that a healer has picked up on it anyway,” Draco continued, clearly in his own head about it and trying to think of a logical answer to it all. “But enough to confirm me in my original theory that you are the catalyst.”
