Awww, it sounds like Draco did think that Harry's trip to Dogear meant he was mad.

It's interesting that Harry is the one apologizing for not letting Draco know what his plans were.

I adore your icon.

That is all.

Does Harry seem really subdued to anyone else? He won't play along with Draco's usual banter. I know it's perfectly understandable for him to be upset over recent developments, but this exchange (or lack thereof, really) makes me worry about him.

I wonder what he and Sirius talked about at Dogear Wryde. And why he suddenly needed to be taken there when he'd already planned on meeting Draco in the library. It seems to me that Harry is bothering Draco even though Draco hasn't had breakfast yet because he needs company. Either to talk or just to be around someone.

Makes me wibble for poor Harry. Someone needs to give him a good hug. NOW.

(As a side note, I love the way Draco's icons match up perfectly with his comments!)

*awww*.

BTW, am I just disturbed, or did anyone else think Draco's cutting out the heads of every photo of Harry in the school and sending them to him would have been a really romantic gesture, in a psychotic and threatening way? Because I thought it was really sweet.

Me too, and he does like to play with paperdolls... *grin*

I was going to link that too but I got lazy and thought that heck it, someone is going to link it anyway. And for once I was correct.

Those boys make me feel warm inside. I just love Harry. He's so sweet.

I am curious. Given the possibility that they are friends, or more than friends, if Harry really would want to be around Draco for some sort of comfort at this moment...I'm trying to imagine exactly how comforting Draco could be. I mean, just based on Draco's outward personality in N_A, he's the last person I'd want to be around when I needed company, unless I wanted the unsympathetic and cutting sort of company. Do you all (er, the H/Ders of you) think Draco is different when he and Harry are alone together? I mean, has there been any indication in what is shown in posts in N_A that Draco can offer Harry sympathy and comfort?

Or, uh, hang on, are you thinking what Harry is wanting is not so much friendship as...er. You know. That which can be accomplished in the short time before lessons start?

*flails* Just trying to get a handle on the relationship between Harry & Draco, and how nragers see it. And exactly what was going on in the exchange linked above. Am deathly curious.

B_D and I had a rather intense discussion about this exchange here.

As to what kind of comfort ps would provide, j_h did say in their Q&A, iirc, that ps is different when they are alone. He doesn't turn into Oprah Winfrey or anything, but Harry does enjoy spending time with him. My guess is that he can make Harry laugh, for one thing, and take his mind off his troubles.

Oh thank you! The discussion is very interesting.
