Draco Malfoy was going to a Quidditch match.

It seemed strange that Quidditch was still going on when all of Wizarding Britain was immersed in chaos. Admittedly, every team had been forced to replace at least one Muggle-born player—the Chudley Cannons were actually refusing to play after some of their members were thrown in Azkaban—but the stadiums were still filling almost as much as they had the year before.

Draco was going because he was on Easter break, and he loved the Caerphilly Catapults, and because the thought at staying home all week made him feel like he was literally going to be sick.

So he was going to go and watch the game. He was going to cheer and scream and try his best to forget about how terrified his parents looked, or the fact that his psychotic aunt was still in his house, or the people whom he had been forced to hurt, or the fact that he could die if the Dark Lord merely came around in a bad mood.

For however long the game lasted (and please let it go on for at least a few days), he was going to pretend that everything was normal and hopefully find that, in the private box of Llewellyn Stadium at least, it still was.
