Draco had almost managed to put Harry Potter entirely out of his mind, having spent most of his day catching up with coworkers and working with Neville to make sure that they both had everything ready for when the students arrived at evening time. It had been nice to get back properly like that and Draco would readily admit that he was looking forwards to the students’ arrival later.<br/>That was also why it hit him so much harder when Neville’s attention suddenly was back on Potter<br/>It wasn’t that Draco didn’t know that they were old friends and that Neville was one of few who actually knew where Potter had been keeping himself for all those years, but it also served as a reminder that Draco was intruding on this; living a life that was reserved for the people who had been on the right side of history, and it caused his anxiety to spike back up.<br/>He followed along with Neville as they approached Potter, listening but not really. He had hoped to put as much distance between himself and Potter as he possibly could, but it seemed like that was going to be a lot harder than he had originally thought.<br/>Thus, he didn’t make any comments as Neville talked with Potter, allowing the two of them to do their thing at their pace.
