It would reflect extremely poorly on him, if he started doing experiments in line with his research, and he accidentally hurt someone permanently.<br/>“Leave me alone,” was all he said though, finding that his words were probably going to be wasted on Potter; who was likely used to getting what he wanted.<br/>Despite the fact that Draco was towering over Potter, he couldn’t help but feel small in the golden boy’s presence, being the one who could do no right, next to the one who could do no wrong.<br/>“What I know is what I wrote, please just leave.”
