Draco knows that Harry and Neville are talking about him over tea. It’s fine. He pops in to say hello and then makes himself scarce. It’s good for Harry to keep up with friends, after all.

Draco thinks about what Luna would say, how she would remind him that it would be good for him to keep up with friends too. And Draco knows that he should, but it’s just—

It’s not that he’s scared. It just feels like, after all the time he spent away, studying, he’s changed. They’ve changed. Everyone is different now, especially him.

Draco exhales, sighs.
