When Draco saw the greasy man walk by he was afraid that he would be sick so he ran off to the bathroom, forgetting that Harry was in there. When he reached the bathroom, which was also not very well lit, he saw Harry and started to run for the door. Draco got to the door and was about to leave but hesitated at the knob. 'Would it be better to stay in here with Potter or go out there with the greasiest man alive,' he wondered.
His thoughts were interrupted when Harry said, "Malfoy, are…are you coming to console me?"
Draco felt his heart sink at the thought of consoling Potter but he felt kind of bad about just leaving him in there crying, then he thought, 'Oh for Christ's sake,' and said, "No, I only came in to wash my hands because Mudblood accidentally touched me." After saying this Draco left.
When he was gone Harry noticed that he hadn't washed his hands and maybe that meant that the Hermione touching him thing wasn't true. He smiled to himself, thinking that Draco had actually come in to be nice but had then changed his mind at the last minute. 'Oh that Draco's not so bad,' though Harry, acting completely out of character for no reason at all in a situation that would never happen.
A few minutes later Harry rejoined the table and sat down, oblivious to the fact that Draco was glaring at him. At almost exactly the same time Harry sat down, Snape came skipping over. "Why, what a surprise, Draco Malfoy sitting with none other than the Boy Who Lived."
"Well, you have to admit," said Harry, "It's a pretty awesome nickname."
"It's better than mine," said Henry.
"What's yours?" asked Ron.
Realizing that he shouldn't have mentioned his nickname, Henry said, "Umm. I don't want to say."
"It's Capillary," Draco supplied.
"Has everyone forgotten that I'm here?" asked Snape, pushing a greasy strand of hair out of his eye.
"If only," said Henry.
"Ten points from Slytherin!" said Snape.
"I'm pretty sure you can't take away points when we're on holiday," Draco argued.
"Sore wa nan desuka?" asked Snape, suddenly imagining that he was in Japan (A/N: line donated by Kyle).
"What?" asked Ron.
"Nothing," said Snape, running away.
"That man is becoming increasingly strange," Hermione pointed out.
"Brilliant," said Draco, sarcastically, "Who knew you had such a firm grasp on the obvious."
"Well do you have anything to add?" she asked.
"I happen to know why he's acting strangely."
"You do?"
"No."
A/N: argh, I hate asking because it seems pretty obvious but could you please review this? I just want to know if people are reading so you don't need to say anything meaningful…just one word would do it. I love you…umm…Kyle will give you a free lap dance if you review…I plomise (that doesn't work as well in writing).
