and with that harry deided that he was over-analyzing way too muh. he hated drao malfoy. drao malfoy hated harry potter. and that was that. so he was a as (along with most of the rest of the popution) enjoy kissi’s done well, so what? that did nothing to ha drao malfoy hated harry potter and vie versa, and that fat would remain uime itself.
and with that, harry potter had joined drao malfoy on the ba had beeo build his housihe opposite side of the river, away from drao’s mahey wouldn’t want to be neighbors…no not at all.
