“Come,” Draco said. He jumped to his feet, then reached over and offered Harry a hand. “I have a great deal of work to do now, preserving all these leaves and roots and petals and such you helped collect. You can keep me company or fetch supper, if you like, but we shan’t sacrifice our hard work by indulging this laziness.”
“Eating sounds good,” Harry said, manually brushing grass off his clothes and hiding a small smile at Draco’s theatrics. He wondered if those fancy proclamations might be the way Draco tried to hide his insecurities about their new association.

They strolled toward the castle slowly, each carrying multiple containers of what would soon become carefully preserved potions ingredients.
“You know, I’ve tried, but I don’t remember learning potions with most of these plants,” Harry confessed as they approached the front doors of the castle.
“No?” Draco said, but Harry thought he looked… pleased?
“Just the Climber Vines, yeah.” Harry guessed out loud. “Was gathering inside the forest a sacrifice Snape and Slughorn weren’t willing to make?”
“That’s a rather dramatic way to put it,” Draco said. His voice sounded stern, but the curves of his ears had gone pink.

“You’re a good teacher, y’know,” Harry said, knocking his shoulder into Draco’s arm as they climbed the front steps. “You work hard, you’re good with the kids, they like you.” He paused as Draco opened the door. “They respect you,” Harry rephrased.
Draco seemed unsure how to respond. He looked over at Harry, a bit furtively, opened his mouth then shut it again. Finally he murmured, “thank you.”
Harry nodded and grinned, and they headed downstairs toward the potions laboratory.
“I’ll help you get all this put away and then I’ll see about getting us something to eat, all right?”
