Missing Scene - The Goblet of Fire (Severus and Draco)
Severus was at the desk in his office when Moody lead Draco in by his arm. At the sight of the boys dishevelled appearance, he assumed there'd been a fight. But as he listened to Moody's recount of what had happened on the stairs, his blood boiled. He kept his voice hard and icy as he said "Moody, in future, you will leave my students to me." Moody just snorted before turning and walking out of Severus's office, leaving Draco where he stood.
"Was that true what he said?" Severus asked, walking around the desk towards Draco.
Draco was silent for a moment before relying, "Yeah, it was."
Severus carefully turned Draco's head to the side a bit to check the bruise forming on the boys' cheek bone. "There are few moments were attacking when someone's back is turned is acceptable. That wasn't one of them." He went over to a cabinet on the wall and took out two small potion vials. "Here, drink these." he said, handing the vials to Draco, "One's for pain, the other accelerates healing. You should go the hospital wing, but I suspect that'd be adding insult to injury."
Draco smiled slightly, "Thank you, professor" he said before downing the blue and purple concoctions, grimacing at the taste.
Severus couldn't suppress a smirk at his reaction, "Pumpkin juice will take the after taste away. Now I believe you have a break between classes Rest in your dorm while that takes effect."
Draco nodded and quietly said "Yes, professor." before leaving the office.
Severus sat back at his desk, lost in thought. The Malfoys were leading Draco down a dark path, but there was nothing he could do about it now. Hopefully, in time. Right now, he could only focus on how to keep Mad Eye Moody from using any more students as battering rams.
