Draco had known that it was likely only a matter of time before Clarke would snap and tell Harry what he thought about the entire thing. It had been so blatantly obvious in the way he kept himself that Draco knew that it was likely only due to Harry’s notoriety that he hadn’t snapped earlier.<br/>Draco decided to simply stay quiet and sip his tea, not wanting to get involved directly, even if the fight was technically about him.<br/><br/>Clarke was completely non understanding of Potter’s position in this case. They both knew what Malfoy had done in the past, things that made his skin crawl and made him question why the man was even on the loose. Potter of all people should be able to understand why Clarke wanted to punish him and make sure that he didn’t do anything that he shouldn’t do.<br/>“Come on now, Potter,” Clarke exclaimed, blind to the fact that Malfoy was still in the room, fully ready to handle this as simply two coworkers who had a disagreement.<br/>“I know you have him doing some pet project, but you can’t expect us to just let him roam without supervision,” he explained, finding the entire case absurd. He shouldn’t have to explain this to Potter, because he should just get it.
