[He had heavily debated on if he wanted to turn on the video feed, all things considered. His head was still pretty foggy and he was struggling to grasp the fact that he had disappeared for ten full days.

No, correction. He'd blown himself up on camera and then disappeared for ten full days. Urgh. How embarrassing.

He first took the time to sift through the messages left on his bracelet, baffled by the sheer amount of information (and slightly amused/unsettled. Davesprite what is wrong with you.) Then he realized there were several responses to his original message before the disaster struck.

…he was fucked, wasn't he? Alas, he knew he couldn't keep hiding so the best method was to be as nonchalant as possible. That meant showing his face whether he wanted to or not.

When the feed flickers on anyone watching will see a boy who looks sort of like he was hit by the Knight Bus. His hair's messy, there are bags under his eyes and there's the slightest hint of a five o'clock shadow on his chin.]

…hey. [Yes, Draco. After all this time, the most you can do is say hey.] Three things.

First of all, how many of you from that large influx of people are still here?

Two, what's the state of my apothecary?

And three, I'm in desperate need of an aspirin.

…oh, and four. If the gods would just allow for a little more freedom in alchemy…[He'll just grumble to himself.] I'm not done tweaking that formula, so I don't want to hear it. We're pretending nothing happened, understand? Just so we're clear.

Cleaning. I'm certain it's completely foreign to you.

Not entirely. All I want to know is what gave you the idea that you had to clean up my mess in the first place. I'm sure Euri would have been fine on her own.

You're right, Malfoy. I saw a mess and I did it to bother you.

You're missing the point! [...Draco are you whining? Stop that.] It was none of your business and you interfered and got involved and now people know you exist.

I didn't interfere, I was trying to help so that others wouldn't get hurt by your mess, and they'd find out I exist regardless.

You realize I read everything that was said after the potion backfired, don't you?

And?

...why the hell did you want to come find me? [With Hermione, he means.] And where do you get off telling people about the efforts you've gone through to "keep me alive"? If you'll recall, Scarhead, I saved your arse in the Manor. [That's the last thing he remembers from home.]

Does it matter?

Why are you friends with Hermione now, anyway?

Does it matter?

Well, you just confirmed that you have a friend at all.

I'd hardly call her a friend. [Despite the fact she's currently screaming at him because he freaked her out and you don't do that to friends. Whoops.] It's more like I benefit from her being here.

You benefit from her being here?

Yeah. In ways you wouldn't even begin to believe.

And you think it's a good idea to admit that you use my best friend to me in public?

[...he sort of just smirks and chooses not to say anything. What do you think?

It's a stupid idea, especially considering it's only maybe 30% true, but nevertheless it's entertaining and temporarily gives him the upper hand.]

Very well.

I'll tell Jade this the next time she tries to keep us from fighting.

[...nopenopenope abort, abort!]

I think not. You have absolutely no reason to be telling her anything, thanks.

You are aware that she's messaging me as we speak, and it's too late, right?

...what? No, I wasn't aware of that, why the hell would I be aware of that?

Well, now you know.

Can you do me a really big favor and stop being friends with my girlfriend?

No.

Why the hell not?

Because she strikes me as the type of girl who is probably becoming increasingly annoyed with the fact that you're even suggesting that I'm meant to do this.
