When they finally left the waiting room, Draco felt relieved to be somewhat out of direct scrutiny again. He could definitely tell that Erica had done her best to be nice and polite to him, but he had also been able to tell that it was a show put on for Harry.<br/>He really didn’t know what to think of the fact that he was visibly important enough to Harry that people would treat him different based on that.<br/>It was easy for him to just follow Harry around the ministry, aware that he was drawing attention, but able to convince himself that most of it was due to the company he was in. Harry himself had to draw a lot of attention on a normal day as well, so the two of them together was definitely going to be an attention grabber.<br/>The thought did very little to actually soothe Draco’s nerves.
