It was an odd sound to Draco, truth be told. If he had been asked when the last time he had laughed was, he wasn't sure he could say. He couldn't have even sworn it was a sound he'd made before.

"Yeah well, I'm the most hunted." He had tried to kill Dumbledore. He had been part of that and people knew it. So many stories had gone on, made him to be so many things. Some of them he had been. Some of them he hadn't. Potter was the only one he expected to listen to him and listen to the truth.

"I trust you though, so I trust them." Even if he would be shocked when he saw just who it was. Being known, and knowing who they were, was not the same thing.

He was quiet for a time. "I had thought to get a dragon when I considered it. Something to show who I am, and stronger than the snake."
