The fact that Potter was so willing to share so much of himself, further giving into the illusion that they could possibly be friends. In fact, Draco knew that Potter was likely just bored and just enjoyed Draco finally engaging him in conversation, but it felt nice and Draco wanted to encourage it.<br/>“Life really has its way like that,” he stated, unsure what he was trying to say, but definitely not wanting to talk about how<span style="font-style: italic">he</span>had ended up back in the manor after the war. It wasn’t the place he wanted to be and he longed to get out.<br/>“Then again, who on earth thinks that it is a smart idea to get married at 18?” Draco couldn’t stop himself from asking, regretting the question the second it had left his lips, unsure if that was where their relationship was yet.
