The question almost knocked the air out of Draco, glad that he was looking down at his notebook rather than Potter himself. Of course, it likely wouldn’t come as a surprise to Potter that Draco was familiar with the effect of the Cruciatus curse, but as he kept talking it seemed to have been more of a rhetorical question anyway and Draco felt blessed that he didn’t actually have to answer.<br/>Instead, he just scribbled down the observation as Potter spoke, still wanting to know about it, but also fully understanding of why Potter found it so hard to put into words. Despite how widely spread the use of the curse had been during the war, Draco knew that most people would not be familiar with the effects, so it was likely almost impossible to use it as a point of reference.<br/>“Makes sense,” Draco stated as Potter finished talking. He was trying to wrap his head around what that could possibly mean, but he was left with nothing obvious. He was going to have to study a lot more and try to connect all the pieces in this.<br/>“Do you think that the magic in Towthorpe is stronger or more powerful than in Aberdeen?” He asked, unsure if Potter would actually be able to answer such a question, but it was of great interest to him. Now that Potter seemed to be in the mindset, Draco wanted to drag everything out of him that he could, trying to piece things together in the order they were remembered.
