In their own words

Character reactions

“I managed nearly an entire evening without insulting Potter. I'd appreciate some recognition for my extraordinary restraint.”

— DRACONIA

“I liked talking to her without having to dodge an insult every few seconds. I'll keep her confidence—even if she insists the kindness was only about the ink.”

— HARRY

“I've always said the library helps people understand things. I hadn't expected the subject to be each other.”

— HERMIONE

“I'd usually consider an evening in the library a punishment. If Harry got a decent conversation out of it, I suppose I'll allow an exception.”

— RON

“I prefer important family conversations in person. Admittedly, ordering a carriage is rather more dramatic than sending an owl.”

— LUCIUS

  44. 3:27

    HARRYSounds nice.

    HARRYI'm not going to.

  49. 3:42

    What are you doing, Draconia?

  50. 3:44

    It was Potter in there, wasn't it?

  51. 3:52

    DRACONIAI don't know what you're talking about.

  52. 3:54

    I saw you come out.

  53. 3:55

    I've seen you together before.

  54. 3:58

    DRACONIAThen you saw two students in a library.

  55. 4:02

    Alone.

  56. 4:03

    Again.

  57. 4:08

    My father works for yours, Draconia.

  58. 4:10

    DRACONIAI'm aware.

  59. 4:12

    If Lucius discovers I knew about Potter and kept quiet,

  60. 4:15

    my father could lose his position.

  61. 4:18

    DRACONIAYou wouldn't tell him.

  62. 4:22

    I can't afford not to.

  63. 4:30

    Promise me you'll stay away from him.

  64. 4:34

    DRACONIAI can't promise that.

  66. 4:37

    DRACONIAHe's done nothing wrong.

  67. 4:38

    Your father won't see it that way.

  68. 4:40
