Something changed in Potter as he talked about the old house, making Draco realise that maybe he wasn’t just a glorified figurehead for the ministry, and instead that maybe Potter actually had some merits. It would make sense, seeing as he had been an auror since they finished school, yet Draco had always pegged Potter as someone who had just picked that, because it would be something that kept him sufficiently in the spotlight.<br/>The idea that Potter might actually be qualified for the job was a new one to Draco, even if it probably shouldn’t be, yet it was still difficult for him to wrap his head around.<br/>“Makes sense with what I said I about you triggering a ward and breaking it,” Draco stated, not meaning the words in such an accusatory fashion as they came out. Even if nothing was certain in this case, Draco felt fairly sure that it had been Potter who had triggered a ward and that that ward was what was making trouble. He just had to figure out why it was Potter who triggered it and not anyone else.<br/>“Noticed anything of note while you were there?” Draco asked, figuring that he could just as well pick Potter’s brain while they sat for breakfast.
