Even if Draco absolutely hated the idea of them appearing anywhere in public as a couple, he still felt that Harry was being such a remarkably good sport about it all that he would have to thank him for it. He didn't want Lucius to think that he was in any way endorsing this idea, even if he knew that he would be forced to keep playing along.<br/>"If you don't mind, I will follow you to your car," Draco stated, stepping further out of the manor and thus away from his parents and closer to Harry. He looked over his shoulder at his parents, finding both of them in a state of confusion, but not too apparent to people who would not be used to reading them.<br/>"We need to discuss outfits," he elaborated, figuring that that was as good a reason as any to get a bit away from his parents and it was a solid excuse that he knew that both of his parents would buy completely into. It wasn't like he cared too much about them being matching for the gala and he sincerely hoped that Harry didn't think that he would expect that from him, he just wanted some agreement as to how they were going to be handling this mess. He vaguely knew what his father was expecting from them, but it was going to be a whole other issue to figure out how they would be going about it in reality.
