The Slytherin common room rejoiced at his comeback from the Hospital Wing. He was immediately showered with hugs and kisses from Pansy, and handshakes and questions from everyone else. He dodged Pansy more or less successfully and answered questions more or less satisfactorily, with a bit of exaggeration here and there - this crowd loved a good Potter barb - and then he was finally released to go to bed. Draco was happy to be back in his own bed, but more importantly he needed to get back on his task. When his mother came over to visit him in the hospital, she stressed that the Dark Lord was getting impatient with Draco’s inability to repair the Vanishing Cabinet, so he needed to catch up on work he’d missed while he was in hospital.
