Not able to rip his eyes off the sight of Potter half naked up on stage, Draco leaned into Pansy and asked, "Why is he doing this?"
"Don't you read the Prophet? He's raising money for some charity or other. God, he looks positively miserable." She sounded almost gleeful about it.
"You just came here to watch him suffer," Draco said, finally understanding why he'd been dragged here.
"Obviously. Oh, look he's trying to dance."
Trying was right. Draco wanted to hide his face as it was painful to watch. Potter was about as graceful as a troll when it came to dancing. His hips were all over the place. And then in a split second --
"Oh my God, he fell! He fell! Omg, that's hilarious!!!"
Pansy's dreams seemed to have come true. But Draco couldn't bring himself to laugh. Potter had saved him from the fire. Potter had saved his whole family from Azkaban. He didn't deserve to be laughed at like this, especially not when he was doing something for such a good cause.
Bloody heroic tosser.
Draco stood up, sending his chair scraping backward.
"Draco, where are you going?" Pansy cried.
But he could hardly hear her, and the lights were suddenly blinding him. God, it was so hot in the room, he could feel the sweat forming under his shirt.
