Though Harry seemed struck by the professional distance of Malfoy's reply, Harry's eyes didn't leave Malfoy as he circled the table. It wasn't that Harry took offence to Malfoy's borderline indifference - quite the opposite. It was in any shape and form a more recognizable dynamic than the other professors' awkward<span style="font-style: italic">uh, haven't seen you in a while</span>. More than anything, Harry seemed surprised but humoured by the fact that Malfoy still seemed adverse to calling Harry by his given name, but it was the added<span style="font-style: italic">Professor</span>that almost made him laugh out loud.<br/>Then again, Harry realized, he had gotten sparse but regular updates on Malfoy's life; he doubted Malfoy knew anything about Harry anymore.<br/>"Morning, Draco," Neville replied; when Harry's eyes darted towards him, he looked almost shy about using Malfoy's name when the other had so intently refused to use Harry's. Harry briefly looked like he couldn't recognize the man in front of him.<br/>"Nev was just telling me you've recently become Head of House Slytherin," Harry noted, eyes once again finding Malfoy, having no intention of letting Malfoy dismiss him so quickly. The easiness of his voice was enhanced by the causality of his stance and dress. His words, however, were genuine. "Congratulations on that, that's well impressive."
