"Really?" Draco was surprised that another one of his selves was becoming friendly with Harry Potter, but he supposed stranger things had happened before. Actually, no, they hadn't. "I'm glad you got them answered too, then." He was tense as she seemed to be searching her memories for any mention of Hermione. "Yes, Father was always angry at me for letting her beat me at everything. I thought she was just a know-it-all, but... well, I suppose here, you get to know people better, and you learn your first impression was wrong." Draco tried to sound merely thoughtful than as if he were trying to set up a disclaimer. He shifted a bit on the couch before adding, "I've become very good friends with her here." He studied his mother, hoping her reaction would be a pleasant one as he was testing the waters.
