Somehow, time continued. Harry attended class, revised for NEWTs, taught two DADA study groups and lead both DADA clubs. Hermione and Ron learned not to mention Draco.
Despite missing Draco every day, he felt terribly mature.
Easter hols came and went.
NEWTs were approaching. Soon none of the 7th or 8th years could think or talk about much else.
Harry revised so hard, so often, so seriously, even Hermione would sometimes put a hand to his forehead, worried. Harry would scowl, but allow it. Everyone would move on.
NEWTs day came, and Harry felt himself vibrating, with nerves, eagerness. Hope.

Would he see Draco today? Potter and Malfoy were close, alphabetically. Maybe they would… speak? Maturely? He had no idea what tests Draco’d even prepared for, other than Potions and Arithmancy. Harry wasn’t taking either.
Would Draco take the DADA exam? Harry had been pushing that question away for months.
He would.
He was there, waiting in the hall near Harry, making small talk with Su Li. He was facing away from Harry. Harry maneuvered himself to the other side of the hall.
Draco looked… good. Handsome. Calm.
Harry heard his name, and entered the classroom, ready for the practical.

After his last examination, Harry drifted toward the Great Hall, sapped and hankering for Shepherd’s pie.
He knew the mature thing would be not to say a word about him, but he couldn’t stay silent. “Has anyone seen Draco since the DADA exam?”
Hermione patted his hand. Parvati gave him a look of pity. Neville raised one eyebrow and Ron sighed.
Seamus gave Harry an actual answer. “Saw him Floo out an hour ago, mate. Sorry.”
Harry held back every reaction that threatened to break free, except his burning and prickling face. “Ah,” he said, and piled his plate high.
