Summary: Draco considers the many curious things about Harry Potter.
Disclaimer: JKR owns Harry and Draco. I own Draco’s obsession with the Boy Who Lived.
A/N: This actually started as a brainstorm (writer’s block medication) for my Pushed Up Against the Wall entry. I’m afraid I got carried away with it. It (perhaps unfortunately) became a ficlet. My first time using first-person POV. Also my first ficlet. If you review this little figment of my imagination (which I sincerely hope you do), be gentle. :^)
Curious how Potter’s eyes match as my house colors.
Curious how Potter and I play the same position in Quidditch.
Curious how I’ve never beaten him.
Curious that Potter survived the Dark Lord’s curse before he could speak but he can’t outshine the Mudblood in Potions exams.
Curious that Potter can call that half-giant by his surname without any disrespect, but when he does the same to me, it’s a mark of abhorrence.
Curious how Potter seems so utterly and exasperatingly heterosexual.
Curious that Potter’s wand arm is his right but he uses his left to scratch his nose.
Curious that when Potter comes to class, he always sets his ink well on his desk before his quill.

Curious how Potter hasn’t bought new glasses in seven years.
Curious that Potter doesn’t ever start any of our fights.
Curious how he’s always the one who finishes them.

Curious that I can remember our entire conversation. Verbatim.
Curious that Potter chose Weasley over me.
Curious that I still feel wretched about that.
Curious that I care so much about this whole thing.
