 The buzz from his return was still alive the next day, some of the teachers welcomed him back to their classes, Snape even gave him what looked like a half-smile. Draco went to see him in his office after his classes ended, and Snape once again offered to help him with his task. It was strangely satisfying for Draco to be included in something Snape wasn’t a part of. He would have gladly used his help, but this way he had the power, the task was in his hands only. It was also a relief that Snape never commented on the visit from Granger in the Hospital Wing, which meant either that he didn’t see enough to suspect anything, or that he did and was too embarrassed to talk about it. Either way, Draco wasn’t complaining.
