Draco knew he was greedy. He didn't need to be told that. In fact, he rather disliked being told. It was rude to say out loud, even if everyone within earshot already knew it to be the truth. But then when had the weasel been anything better than rude?
In this instance, he had blurted it out in the middle of a roomful of strangers in a decidedly public manner.
"I'm on to you," the git had said. "The only reason you're interested in being friends with Harry now is that he's got money. Gobs of it."
Draco was stunned at this declaration. "Weaselby, I should think that you would be a more likely candidate for that, given your financial situation," Draco had countered. "Harry doesn't have half the money I do, so what good would his money do me?"
"I don't know, but I mean to find out. I'm watching you, Malfoy. And I will get to the bottom of it. Mark my words."
"I'm terrified," Draco said, suppressing a smile.
"You should be. Harry doesn't need friends like you."
"Ah, but who said anything about being friends?"
The look on Ron's face was priceless.
