Malfoy didn't reappear in classes until late on Thursday morning when the Slytherins and Gryffindors were halfway through double Potions. He swaggered into the dungeon, his right arms covered in bandages and bound up in a sling, acting, in Harry's opinion, as though he was the heroic survivor of some dreadful battle.

"How is it, Draco?" simpered Pansy Parkinson. "Does it hurt much?"

"Yeah," said Malfoy, putting on a brave sort of grimace. But Harry saw him wink at Crabbe and Goyle when Pansy had looked away.

"Settle down, settle down," said Professor Snape idly.

Harry and the ginger head, Ron. Y/n finally knew his name and the others while the two male scowled at each other. Snape wouldn't have said 'settle down' if they'd walked in late, he'd have given them detention. But Malfoy had always been able to get away with anything in Snape's classes, Snape was Head of Slytherin house, and generally favourited by his own students before all others. 

They were making a new potion today, a Shrinking Solution. Malfoy set up his cauldron right next to Y/n, Harry and Ron, so that they were preparing their ingredients on the same table. She was a bit confuse at the sudden seat plan. It wasn't technically her plan to sit with the Gryffindors either.

"Sir," Malfoy called, "sir, I'll need help cutting up these daisy roots, because of my arm-"

"Weasley, cut up Malfoy's roots for him," said Snape without looking up.

Ron went brick red.

"There's nothing wrong with you arm," Ron hissed at Malfoy while Y/n chuckled at their bickering.

Malfoy smirked across the table while standing next to Ron. "You hear Professor Snape, cut up those roots." Ron seized his knife, pulled Malfoy's roots towards him and began to chop them roughly, so that they were all different sizes.

"Professor," drawled Malfoy. "Weasley's mutilating my roots, sir." Snape approached their table, stared down his hooked nose at the roots, then gave Ron and unpleasant smile from beneath his long, greasy black hair.

"Change roots with Malfoy, Weasley."

"But sir-!" 

Ron hap spent the last quarter of an hour carefully shredding his own roots into exactly equal pieces.

"Now," said Snape in his most dangerous voice, Ron had to comply as Y/n tried to cut her own roots with the knife before accidentally cutting herself making her finger bleed. Harry saw this and went to get a nearby band-aid for her. She hissed at the pain, the blood bleeding out while Malfoy saw this scene evolve right in front of him.

Harry gently took her finger and Snape saw the scene evolved too. "Potter, cut up her Shrivelfig and roots." Harry was a bit shocked before nodding and finishing bandaging her finger which she smiled gratefully at his help.
