Chad nodded at Draco's statement, even if he didn't seem like he accepted the statement. Draco just hoped that Harry wasn't home, so that they could avoid any kind of confrontation and drama. Sure, he loathed Harry for what he had done, but he wasn't in any mood to take a fight with him. It was over after all, and there was absolutely nothing more they could do about it. He had done what he could.<br/>Sadly, he wasn't going to be that lucky. He had left one of his big books in the kitchen, and he really needed it. Of course, then that was the place his flatmate had decided to be, and once Draco realised, it was impossible to avoid.<br/>"I'm sorry," he said, his voice neutral, mostly just tired. He had no fight left in him, and he just hoped that Chad would behave. "I really just need my book, then we'll be out again."
