[Once again, Draco is out in the snow - something that seems to be a newly discovered habit of his, despite how often he'll complain about the cold. At the moment, however, the cold seems to be the farthest thing from his mind, judging by the almost tortured expression on his visage: fury, indignation, misery, and a strange flicker of longing for

Draco?

[After a shakey moment, he yells into the communicator.]

Draco! Come home.

[voice]

[ferretprince]

[His voice is harsh - he's clearly not in a very good mood. But there's a hoarseness to it that wasn't present when he was speaking with Potter earlier.]

I thought I told you to sod off.

[voice]

[phoenix_core]

Don't tell me to sod off, we're past that now, remember?

[He huffs, and then in a softer tone.]

Please just tell me what's wrong. I want to help you.

[voice]

[ferretprince]

I don't need your help, Potter.

[The words are scathing, his anger unbidden. Or perhaps he's simply displacing it.]

[This is Ron, blatantly ignoring Malfoy's obvious distress and speaking through gritted teeth.]

We need to talk. Where are you?

[voice]

[ferretprince]

[Although he has no idea where Weasley's anger is coming from, Draco is glad to reciprocate.]

I'm on my way back to the apartment. What's it matter to you, Weasley?

[voice]

[rons_a_keeper]

We need to talk. Away from the others. Meet me outside the building.

[voice]

[ferretprince]

If you haven't noticed, it's snowing out here. I'll meet you in the kitchen, since this is so important.

[Because hell if he'll ever agree to something Weasley suggests.]

What did you find, Draco?

[Despite the "warm" reception he's gotten from the boy in the past, there's some genuine concern in his voice.]

[Voice] Sorry for taking so long - I wanted to wait until I knew where the log above was headed. :)

[ferretprince]

[While Draco's response isn't welcoming in the slightest, it certainly lacks the animosity it usually does. That concern is the only thing that halts whatever insult he might have otherwise reacted with.]

I don't believe it's any of your business.
