Despite himself, Draco found his gaze resting on Harry as he went across the room to fetch them their drinks. It was a little thing, but without Harry by his side, Draco couldn’t help but feel a little naked in this huge crowd. Normally, it wasn’t a problem for him to navigate the crowd and figure out how to make himself useful, however now he found that he had no desire to do such things as long as he didn’t have Harry by his side.<br/>This didn’t stop Draco from feeling quite a bit worried when he noticed someone trying to chat Harry up. More than anything else, it was noticing<span style="font-style: italic">who</span>was chatting Harry up. This was going to be putting some serious strain on this act, knowing that a misstep would have serious consequences.<br/>Yet Draco found that he didn’t worry too much, as soon as he caught Harry’s eyes and Harry smiled at him the way that he did. It caused him to send Harry a matching smile of his own, absolutely thrilled that this act seemed to work as well as it did. And maybe also a little thrilled that Harry thought to look for him like that and wanting to check on him. He tried to convince himself that it was mostly the former and just left it at that, knowing that there was no reason to linger on it.
