While Draco was certain that Potter was in no way flattering his abilities, nor downplaying what the ministry had actually been able to do on their own, he still couldn’t help but feel that the praise to him was completely unwarranted. He had spent years diving into a topic that was largely left without study, so it made good sense that he would know more about it and have some other spells, having had the luxury of time to completely deep dive into the topic at hand.<br/>“Right,” he stated, eyes not leaving the contract in front of him, finding the situation uncomfortable, yet flattering. He wanted to be able to live up to the tittle that had been giving to him by the ministry, feeling a faint sense of redemption in the contract, even if he knew better than to get his hopes up too high.<br/>He was never going to get a proper part of the wizarding community again, that much he knew, but he hoped that he would be able to experience less animosity directed towards him, and he felt that helping Harry Potter with breaking a curse was the way to go.<br/>“Do I just sign here?” He asked, knowing the answer but also desperate to change the subject away from himself.
