The wording wasn’t ambiguous, but Draco reflected later that it might’ve been kinder. Then again, he’d never been particularly kind to Harry. He fingered the bit of parchment, remembering how Harry had tucked it into his book with a muttered, “Don’t open till Christmas Day.” He’d almost ignored the request, before it occurred to him that perhaps there had been some reason for it. With the faint bit of respect he had for the Gryffindor, he waited, agonizing over it as he carried it back to his home, and concealing it from his father.
On Christmas Day, barely ten minutes past midnight, he reached out, opening the book and taking hold of the tiny fold of parchment. Slender fingers unfolded it, then peered at the careful handwriting inside. The words surprised him, leaving him reflective as he gazed out the window in the direction of Hogwarts. Though he couldn’t see the school, his thoughts never left one of the inhabitants.
