Draco had sincerely wanted to keep working when Potter said his final good nights, still finding that the work was endless, which just meant that he wanted to keep diving into it. However, once Potter had started talking, even if it had just been to say goodnight, he seemed to be completely unable to stop.<br/>Draco really had no idea how long it had been since Potter started talking, nor did he have idea idea as to when he had started actually answering in full sentences and given up on his work. It seemed to have been ages and yet also just in the blink of an eye.<br/>“I always thought you did,” Draco stated with a soft smile, not intending to be mean about it, but it always struck him as unusual how Potter had been able to do as well in the triwizard tournament as he did.<br/>“I saw you in class, even with Granger’s help there was just absolutely no way that you’d be able to make it through on your own.”
