*hearts back* You're welcome!

*frowns worriedly*
Draco?

[the_pureblooded]

*looks up*

Yes, mother?

[blackdasphodele]

You've blood on your face.

[the_pureblooded]

Just a smudge. Will you wipe it clean for me, mum?

[blackdasphodele]

*faint laugh and she pulls a handkerchief from her sleeve then dabs carefully at the blood, eyes looking over his face worried*
*softly as she cleans his face*
What are you doing with blood on your face, pet?

[the_pureblooded]

*loves his mum cos she takes such good care of him*

Um, oh, you know. The usual. Divination ritual.

*halo*

*bats eyelashes*

Do you have sweets for your loving son?

[blackdasphodele]

*perfectly formed eyebrows raise*
A divination ritual? About what?
*abruptly looks worried*
Draco, love, what kind of blood is this?

*quiet laugh*
My loving son who's run off with Potter?
*slips her hand into her pocket anyway, pulling out a few orange-vanilla Sugar Stars, the gold wrappings around each hard sweet crinkling slightly in her hand*

[the_pureblooded]

*blank expression*

Nothing really, mum. I'm just testing my magical prowess.

*cute smile*

Well, it's the red kind.

*a little huffily*

I haven't run off with Potter. He gravitated to me. I have that Malfoy mag--

*is mesmerised by the shiny*

*takes candy and shuts up*

[blackdasphodele]

*eyes narrow in maternal suspicion*
*warningly*
Draco...

*slow smile as he trails off and takes the sweets*
You have that Malfoy magnetic attraction to shiny objects.

[the_pureblooded]

*knowing smile*

Well, you were attracted to father. He's quite shiny.

[blackdasphodele]

*waves this away lightly*
I was. But you are avoiding my questions.
