Now he’s really done it. Draco honestly can’t believe it. This is the straw that breaks the camel’s back. He’s going to pay this time.
The other man doesn’t even flinch when Draco bursts into his office. He slowly looks up from his paperwork, having the audacity to look almost bored.
“Malfoy.” He greets calmly. A smile tugs at the corners of his mouth, but he tries to play it cool. “New haircut?”
Weasley is sitting at the desk next to his. As soon as he spots him in the doorway, he breaks out in roaring laughter. Draco is seething.
“How old are you?” he snaps as he storms over to his desk. “A colour-changing charm? Really?”
“I have no idea what you’re talking about.”
Weasley’s almost tumbling off his chair at the sight of Draco’s firetruck-red hair. Even his eyebrows have turned that shade. He isn’t sure how Potter has done it, but he’s sure it was him.
“I’m going to destroy you.” Draco hisses.
Potter smirks, a mischievous glint in his eyes. He idly twirls his wand between his fingers.
An electric shock runs down Draco’s spine. The anger is still there, but it makes space for something else beside it. Something he can’t quite name, or maybe doesn’t want to.
Potter is lucky he has a meeting with Kingsley in twenty minutes. If he didn’t have to sort out this mess as soon as possible, he would end him right here, right now.
“This isn’t over,” he mutters before he turns around. He will get back at him, one way or another. Potter just looks amused, accomplished, even. Draco hates his guts.
Before he leaves, Draco decides to help Weasley a tad and fires a knockback jinx his way, causing him to tip over, chair and all. He ignores the complaints that follow. He’ll get back at Potter in a more appropriate way very soon.
