Throughout the sorting, Draco noticed that Potter occasionally would tap the table in front of him. It took him to the first Hermione that year to realise what exactly it was the he was keeping tabs on and the realising made Draco’s stomach turn. He knew that it was bound to happen sooner rather than later, but it really was Potter’s tapping that made him realise just how many Harry’s there haha already been this year and how it was probably only going to get worse in the years to come.<br/>It was something that Draco hadn’t even given a thought, mostly because he knew that it was highly unlikely that his name, nor the name of any of his friends from his time at Hogwarts, was going too appear. To him, it was just all a nauseating reminder of what he had done in the past and how much he still had to make up for.<br/>He could never undo the things that he had done during the war, but damnit if he couldn’t try to make things better in the future.
