_________<br/><br/>The simple tidbit that Malfoy's thoughts were in French had had consequences beyond what Harry could have ever expected. Primarily because he was unable to picture the way Malfoy's voice sounded when speaking French, something that had completely clouded any othee obligations Harry had for the day.<br/>Harry had on several occasions caught his attention drifting, eyes leaving his work in favour for Malfoy's quarter profile. The offset between their workspaces left Malfoy always just within Harry's line of sight when he was sat working at his desk, something which hadn't been an issue until today.<br/>Harry had been unable to stop thinking about how it would sound were Malfoy's thought to fill the room. He imagined it to be like Fleur's French language Wireless playing in her kitchen, a soft buzz of a foreign language to fill the void without distracting.<br/>It had crossed Harry's mind to try and confirm that expectation, but he knew his Legilimency to be even shoddier than his Occlumency. While he had successfuly bested Snape, Harry was certain it would be pointless; there was no doubt in his mind that Malfoy was absolutely masterly, his thoughts completelt sealed from outside observers.<br/>Instead, Harry had considered if Malfoy would speak his usual speculations in French, were Harry to ask him to. A continuous stream of conciousness, Harry had only realized his mind had wandered as he realized he's been admirering the pensive slope of Malfoy's furrowed brows. Harry had nearly knocked his inkwell over when he startled returned to his work.<br/>All in all, it had been a rather disasterous workday.<br/><br/>As the afternoon came to an end, Harry had relaxed back into his chair, turning his quill between his fingers. Not for the first time, his eyes were on Malfoy, absentmindedly watching him work.<br/>Harry had finished his work, and time he excused his wandering eye by the fact that he was simply allowing Malfoy to finish for the day in his own pace. Harry had no issue waiting, able to entertain himself by quietly observing Malfoy's work; this time around, Harry's attention was intentionally directed at Malfoy's hands.
