Log;

Draco Malfoy was second-guessing himself already. Not just about agreeing to work together with Hermione Granger, one of his least favourite people in the universe and a mudblood to boot, but about going home entirely. He might be trapped in a hideously-named metropolis of multiple alternate universes which was almost entirely muggle that got off on humiliating its citizens periodically, but at least there was no impending war here. What had become a familiar twinge in his arm where the tattoo was magically sealed into his skin had faded to nothing since he'd arrived, his family wasn't here but they weren't in danger either, and if the people here didn't know what being pureblooded meant they didn't know who Harry Potter was either.

His new owl had deigned to ride on his shoulder as he left the small flat, locking and warding everything behind him, but now lifted off into the night on silent wings. He watched her go for a moment before continuing his walk towards the vast Library, still brooding. Despite the current relative safety of this place, there was still the chance that one or another of the Death Eaters would appear and he would have to account for himself. Merlin forbid the Dark Lord himself arriving here. What would he do then? For now, he was only following the example of his father and Severus Snape. Don't let pride get in the way of survival, lie and cheat and steal and give the appearance of loyalty whenever it costs the least. That's the lesson he clung to now.
