While Draco knew that he was technically hired as a consultant and eventually would be expected to actually do some consulting, he hadn’t thought that they would show him that level of trust this early on.<br/>Of course he knew that Harry trusted him with these things, having been able to witness first hand just what Draco was able to do for months, but it did come as somewhat of a surprise that Buchannan did as well. He had never doubted that Buchannan thought fondly of him and knew of his abilities, but Draco knew just how big a show of trust it was to allow him to do something like this with this many witnesses.<br/>By all accounts, Draco should probably have been hit by stage fright, having been used to working alone for years before Harry showed up on his doorstep, but he found that nothing came. He had already had several ideas of what he wanted to do had he been allowed to, so it only took him a moment to properly organise his thoughts such that he could make a prioritised list.<br/>“Alright,” he said in a soft voice, not wanting to come across as someone who had just been waiting for this moment since arriving, even thought it was probably pretty close to the truth.<br/>He just had to hope that he was actually as good as both Harry and Buchannan thougt him to be.<br/>“I do have some ideas,” he started out, unsure how much commentary would be needed, unused still to having an audience to what he was able to do, but he so wanted to prove himself worthy of the trust he was being shown.<br/>Gingerly, he picked his wand out of the holster that was pressed tightly against his thigh, something in the back of his mind reminding him to move slowly such that the motion wouldn’t be read as threatening, but he doubted that anyone would<span style="font-style: italic">actually</span>think that.<br/>“Do I just go, or do you want me to talk you through what I am doing?” He felt the need to ask, afraid that he was going to be seen as presumptuous, but Harry was right. He<span style="font-style: italic">was</span>there because his knowledge on the dark arts was unparalleled and he didn’t mind explaining his process and his thoughts behind it.
