His finger lingers in her hair, almost-black on ghastly pale as he brushes the hair away and looks into her eyes. Her gaze casts sideways - is anybody watching, does she want them to be - and he glares, wishes she'd watch him, or close her eyes and feel for once.

She always watches around the corner, places herself just so, angles her skirt halfway up her thigh, diagonally downwards across pale, smooth skin and dappled freckles.

"Pansy," he says, breath of air outwards, exasperation, and the game continues, he pretends it's a game and not a show. He pretends that she doesn't raise her arms over her head as he slides inside because that's the prettiest picture should Blaise or Theodore wander in (he knows she never closes tight the curtains).

She clasps her hand to his in the corridors, but only when Daphne comes up behind them giggling and fluttering her charmed-curled eyelashes. They turn the corner and she slips from his grasp.

Draco knows he liked this once, the sly smiles, the secret joke laid bare for the rest of the world. But as he hides away, woodworking and spells that hit him harsh in the chest, remind him his capacities. The sear in his forearm, the darker-growing tunnel at the end of the stuffy-cheery school, he's learned that nobody really cares to watch the show.
