"Be that as it may, you should be more aware of yourself during the day and in lessons. Save your feelings (Snape cringed when he spoke the word) for when you are certain you and Miss Granger are alone. Have you been practising your Occlumency? You know your father can only hold off the Dark Lord for so long while taking the punishments meant for you. At some point he will summon you, considering the events before summer." Draco looked to the corner of the classroom. He had neglected his Occlumency, and he had let his feelings get the best of him. For Merlin's sake, he couldn't understand how it had happened. He had just been so pleased Granger had returned to Hogwarts in the first place. She had insinuated on more than one occasion that it very nearly hadn't been the case. That she could be of doing Merlin knows what with Potter and Weasley at the moment. But instead, she had chosen to return to Hogwarts for the muggleborns (and him).
