Harry nodded, but didn't move; though he was indicating a response to Draco's words, he reacted as if he hadn't heard the other's answer. After a few silent seconds, Harry eventually inhaled, and spoke an "Alright" in his exhale.<br/>It took further five seconds for Harry to eventually let go of Draco. "I'll be out as fast as I can," he promised, before turning and hurried back inside.<br/><br/><br/>It took Harry no less than 20 minutes to make it to his office and back down to the entrance hall. As expected, several had been on the look out for him as he entered his department, and he had had to explain to no less than three colleagues on three separate occasions that a personal situation had come up, which he had to deal with right away. This wasn't entirely a lie, but every time he explained the situation, it got gradually more and more urgent.<br/>He now hurried across the entry hall, pulling on his civil coat and as much as possible ignoring any eye contact with the surrounding staff. Quickly, he made his way out to the front stairs, glancing around for Draco as he exited the building.
