[It's been almost two weeks since Draco was kidnapped, but at least his captors had some manners and ever-so-kindly dropped him off at the shore of his usual lake. He sees his journal, but he doesn't bother reading everything he's missed. Despite the fact that time is a factor here, he pulls out the quill that was tucked into the pages and

Maybe later on the mistress will add something to the post, but for now she's listening out for trouble.]

That's good. Did Harry sleep at all last night? [She glances at her best friend again.]

A bit...we both ended up falling asleep really late, like maybe three in the morning or four. [Little does he know that Harry was probably up another hour or so after Draco finally fell asleep.]

At least you slept some. Do you need anything this morning? Food, something to drink?
[He's free to notice that she's not asking wtf made them so late to bed. And she also is more than aware that Harry probably didn't sleep anytime near when Draco did. She knows well how Harry's mind works by now.]

About three hours...Hisoka decided that the morning meant at the crack of dawn. [He gives her a lopsided grin though.] I'm fine, I think. I'm not really sure, I think I'm still trying to grasp the concept of being back here instead of there. [He'll supply his own answer though, because he believes she's earned a bit of an explanation because she's being less nosy than usual!] Potter and I spent a long time awake because I wasn't really ready to sleep, I guess.

Do I have to find a way to brew a potion to make you two sleep? [Her mouth twists into a wry smile, though. YOU KNOW SHE'LL DO IT, TOO.] I know what that's like. It's all right, though. Nothing's changed here.
[She glances at Harry again. Brb avoiding thinking about that and yet-] He was really worried about you, you know. I was, too.

Might have to, but I wouldn't put forth the effort just yet. [Have the same kind of smile, albeit a bit grim.] I know nothing's changed, I just need to acclimate myself again.
[He follows her gaze though, but he's keeping it there for another few moments.] Both of you shouldn't have been, you realize. There are far too many things happening here instead.

It's a bit like getting thrown into the hospital wing after a nasty Quidditch spill or some such. [Well, she's trying to help!]
But you're important to us anyway. We're worried about what's going on out here, but we're also worried about you. Whatever's going on out here, we'll see it through. [He's not quite "one of them" just yet, but he's at least gotten to the stage of protection and worry from Harry and Hermione.]

More or less, yeah. [He knows, and there's a bit of a bigger grin to acknowledge he appreciates the effort.]
I still think that's completely bizarre, you know. Luceti has bigger problems than Draco Malfoy.

Imagine that. You're just a small worry in the bigger picture now. [She's teasing, smirking as she talks.] But even so, two of us will still worry about you.

I'm not keeping either of you up any longer than you need to and if he does that again, I'm going to talk to him. [More like lecture him AND THAT WILL NOT END WELL EVER.]

If someone keeps you both up all night. Even if it's you rather than someone else. [hey, she kind of takes after Mrs. Weasley sometimes.] You need your sleep now anyway. [And she'll get up unless someone stops her.]
