Harry, too, looked over at the material. It wasn't his proudest work, finding the work to be juvenile in its clutter; he would defend it as being a matter of logistics rather than of logic.<br/>When Draco remained seated, Harry turned properly. He leaned against the table edge, settling himself carefully as to not to spill any ink or tea. He gripped the lip of the table, a hand on either side of his hip, once again turning his attention to the collection og parchments scattering the floor a few yards ahead of them.<br/>He thrummed a restless note to the underside of the table, trying to gather his thoughts.<br/>"I've been looking at it from the approach of what's plausible intent, and whats an inadverted effect," he said eventually. He felt like a better point of reference was that he was, plainly put, sick and tired of looking at chestfulls of data. "Malignant magic firering with intent, or destabilized deteriorated magic, that is."<br/>There wasn't much authority in his voice, hesitant to make claims. The nature of Dark Magic was beyond Harry's knowledge, but he had made a career of quantifying the intent and plausible location of dark artefacts and magic; he had never looked at the details of the curses, only their intended use put into context.<br/>"Determining whether or not this was an intended curse or a destabilised spell helps discard about half the material."<br/>Harry's eyes were skimming across the material, proof that he wouldn't remain stationary much longer. "I've been taught that a quick way to judge that is based on location, but I think it's more nuanced than that. But the idea is that a curse with a slow effect wont guard anything of immediate value."<br/>He turned to look over at Draco, looking for something he couldn't quite place. "So those are among what I've removed from the pot."
