32 Harry Potter (1/2)

At around noon, the four children inside the cabin were peacefully eating their snacks. No words were exchanged in this duration.

After a while, Draco had finished eating and excused himself to go to the washroom, leaving Casimir with the other two.

”So... When did you and Draco meet?” Theodore asked, trying to start up a conversation.

”Around four years ago at my birthday banquet.” Casimir replied, nibbling on a chocolate frog.

”Four years ago?! You two knew each other before I met Draco then!” Theodore exclaimed. ”I met him around a year and a half ago when my father brought me to meet his parents.”

”Oh. I see.” Casimir muttered.

It seems that, if Draco wasn't around, his little fangirl was actually very quiet.

At this moment, Draco finally returned with two other boys following him. ”Found Crabbe and Goyle while I was out. And, you wouldn't guess who is on this train with us.”

”Who?” Casimir asked curiously.

”Harry Potter! The legendary boy who lived!” Draco exclaimed. ”Me, Crabbe, and Goyle were just about to head out and look for him. You coming?” Draco turned to Casimir.

Harry Potter? I've been hearing that name quite often lately. Maybe it's about time I meet the legendary person himself.

”Sure. I don't see why not.” Casimir replied and followed behind Draco, leaving Theodore and the fanigirl behind, looking at them with forlorn expressions.

...

After asking for some directions from a few other children, they arrived in front of a very normal looking cabin.

Without any unnecessary actions, Draco directly pulled open the door and strode right in as if he owned the place.

Surprisingly, who they saw in front of the cabin was actually the boy whom they met at Madam Malkin's shop. How coincidental! Though, Casimir was unfamiliar with the other boy with him.

”Is it true?” Draco said. ”They're all saying down the train that Harry Potter's in this compartment. So it's you, is it?” Draco looked towards the boy they had previously met.

”Yes.” Harry replied, looking at the other boys behind Draco and Casimir.

”Oh, this is Crabbe and this is Goyle. The one beside me is Marie. You've met him before.” Draco carelessly introduced as Casimir smiled amiably at Harry with a polite nod. ”And my name's Malfoy, Draco Malfoy. ”

The orange haired boy gave a slight cough, seeming to want to laugh but hid it. Draco looked at him, obviously displeased.

”Think my name's funny, do you? No need to ask who you are. My father told me all the Weasleys have red hair, freckles, and more children than they can afford. ”

O∆O Draco has entered his Sass mode! Must stop this at once!

”Sorry for my friend's mouth. He didn't mean it that way. He didn't get enough sleep last night so he's a bit cranky. Please don't take it to heart.” Casimir said as he covered Draco's mouth.

”Mmf! Mm!” Draco glared at Casimir, trying to remove the hand on his mouth but was unable to.

”Oh. It's alright, Marie. Everyone gets cranky from time to time, I guess.” Harry replied with a complicated look.
