It wasn’t that Draco was completely unaware of the fact that he was probably being rather mean towards Potter, but he was honestly at his wits end. He had worked so hard, for so many years, to pull himself entirely out of Potter’s shadow, beating down comparisons between the two of them and starting to become a person of his own. Now though, with Potter sitting right next to him as their brand new professor, it was impossible to not think about Draco in relation to the war and Potter specifically.<br/>Despite all those thoughts going through his mind, a small smile made its way to Draco’s lips. It was a mere tug of the corner of his mouth, barely even a smile to speak of, but the idea of Draco being able to speak any sense into anyone, just because he had become head of house had been a nice one to him, even if he knew that that was never gonna happen.<br/>“May have to try,” he stated, unsure whether he was speaking to himself or to Potter.
