Getting to face Draco as he reiterated his point gave Harry a dizzying feeling of vertigo, feeling like the lift had fallen several floors with them still in it. The admission was far from what Harry had expected to hear, having only brough it up in joke, having expected Draco to have experienced an immense sense of relief in Harry's absence.<br/>The possibility that Draco had felt it as a loss, however, made Harry's head spin, overwhelmed to the point where all he could do was chuckle awkwardly, out of his depth.<br/>"Oh, its not?" Harry teased with a grin, having otherwise lost his footing in the conversation the moment Draco smiled at him. He knew he had filled a different role to Draco than Coote ever could, but Coote's company had sufficed for a decade, and Harry didn't know what to do about the knowledge that that might've changed.
