Harry had taken a seat along with Malfoy, genuinely interested in what he had to say. As soon as Malfoy spoke, however, it all too quickly became painfully apparent that Harry might not actually have been prepared to hear it. Either it was the stark difference to the conversation he had just had with Dan, or the chill of no longer being in direct sun. Perhaps it was neither, but instead the dawning realisation that he hadn’t really expected Malfoy to be right.<br/>It all summarized, Harry only blinked, surprised. Malfoy’s conclusion didn’t seem like it left any room for the fact that what Malfoy had observed was absolutely unheard of. Harry’s first instinct was to argue against it, but he found the simplicity of the statement to be disarming.<br/>"Okay," he started, if only to let Malfoy know he had heard and, at least more or less, understood him.<br/>Harry’s lips remained parted, but his mind was trying to process the news quicker than he was able to form a sentence.<br/>"What does that mean?"<br/>The question came slow, trying to translate Malfoy’s words into either consequences or symptoms. There was no real distrust behind the phrasing, though Harry, increasingly more on edge, needed Malfoy to defend the statement.
