It had been a while since Draco had seen his old professor, at least outside of the times when they were both called to the Dark Lord. He still felt uncertain around Snape, whose simple presence managed to make him feel like a student all over again, even though he had tried very hard (and succeeded, he thought, though the battle was never truly won) to prove himself as a grown man and a Death Eater to be reckoned with. The people who had known him longest had seen him at weaker points, and he didn't like remembering that.
Nevertheless, he had a job to do. People were coming out from under Complacens, and as it was Draco's job to know everything about potential problems, it was up to him to discover how far this particular problem went. It certainly was a frightening one. The potion did away with many of the problems that arose from ruling through fear, by doing away with the fear itself; if fear returned, some would be paralyzed by it, but some would begin to act. Some people were already acting, foolishly but bravely, considering the consequences they faced. In Draco's mind, qualifying their actions as 'brave' was not a compliment, especially since he followed it with a mental snort of derision. Gryffindors.
He composed himself and threw Floo powder on the fire, stepping into the green flames that would transport him to Hogwarts, to Snape's office. He would determine exactly how to approach the issue when he was there in person, he decided; attempting to prepare himself beforehand could only do so much.
