Draco glared at him. “The difference, since you’re obviously too thick to get it, is that my friends would not have done what that group of morons did. They never respected me in the same way.”

“Considering you bought your way on to the team, I’m not surprised,” Harry noted and Draco chose to ignore him.

“They are part of the division in Slytherin that chooses to ignore the power of the Veriae and instead focus on the fact that I do not have wizarding blood.”

“You know,” Harry grinned, “I was thinking about that. It’s rather ironic that the pureblooded Malfoy family isn’t as pure as people thought.”

“I am pureblooded,” Draco hissed.

Harry decided never to bring up the subject again as the look of fury swept across Draco’s face. “Not in wizard blood, and that is what causes the division.”

“Exactly.” Draco calmed down and Harry looked at him strangely.

“What’s up with you?” he asked curiously. “You’re wound up tighter than a spring.”

“I thought you would understand why better than anyone, Potter,” Draco drawled. “After all, you are to blame for my emotions at this point.”

“Me?”

“Yes, you. Which brings me to a question which I’d like answered. Why didn’t you play today?”

“There wasn’t a point.”

“There’s always a point, Potter. Gryffindor barely won. What really stopped you from playing?”

“I don’t think I need to tell you that, Malfoy.” Harry glared at him and the words were out before Draco could even register that he was saying them.

“Was it because Potter cared that little me wasn’t playing? I’m flattered.”

“Don’t be, Malfoy. You had nothing to do with it.”

Draco blinked as he saw something strange register in Harry’s eyes as he said that, and the Slytherin side of him got another idea. He smirked at Harry, his features shifting to those of someone who has figured out a secret.

“I think you’re lying, Potter. I think it was because of me that you didn’t play.” Something in the bond’s magic stirred inside him at those words, but he ignored it. It had been acting weird for all the time Potter had been denying it anyway. But this was too good to start worrying about something else right now. Watching Potter squirm was so much fun.

But Draco hadn’t been prepared for what might happen if Harry didn’t squirm like he’d planned for.
