The comment about Potter having gotten older and uglier brought a quick smile to Draco’s face, one he was quick to push down again such that he could return to his former, more neutral, facial expression. He didn’t allow himself to linger too much on the thought, but he did know that it definitely wasn’t true that Potter had gotten uglier over the years.<br/>In fact, it seemed that he had just aged into his appearance, but Draco didn’t want to linger on that thought for too long. It was a rabbit hole that was too difficult to go down and he was uncertain if he was going to ever come up from it again.<br/>“I’ll go sit down. You take your time to catch up,” he stated, a gentle hand on Neville’s lower back to catch his attention.<br/>“Professor,” he stated with a nod toward Potter as he moved away from the pair of them, needing to get away from Potter once again to feel at least a little normal.
