The meeting was... not what Harry had expected. After finding out about his situation, the school was very accommodating. Especially because Madam Pomfrey showed up to his meeting.

"I'm sorry?"

"We have a contract with our student athletes that provides a discount at the uni for classes while still in high school. Because of your circumstances, we can get you fully reimbursed, and have future classes covered."

"This has given me a lot to think about," Harry admitted.

"Can we bring Mr. Malfoy in?"

"I suppose so."

"The terms of our discussion are that you need to make it on the team of course. If Mr. Malfoy is kind enough, he can help you train. You'll need to show up to practice and we'll have a decision for you in two weeks. How does that sound?"

"I need to think about it still. I can't immediately rearrange my work schedule like that."

"Why don't you save all of us the trouble and stick with your first decision? We need commitment on the team."

"Of course. I politely decline but thank you for the offer. I'm not enough of an arse to be on the team. If you'll excuse me, I have to get to work so that I'm not evicted from my flat because mummy and daddy can't pay the bills for me."

"Mr. Potter-," Madam Pomfrey began.

"Thank you for taking care of me when I passed out. Have a good evening," Harry said politely, collecting his things and leaving the office.

"You passed out?," Draco asked, following him out the door.

"Stop pretending to care. Whatever game you're playing is over Malfoy. I don't have anymore time to waste on you."

"I wasn't-"

"Ron was right about you. Don't worry about the lab report, I'll do it myself."

"Harry-"

"I'm running late Malfoy."

Pushing through the school doors, Harry pushed the rest of the day out of his mind, and began walking to work. It was Friday, and he was not in the mood to deal with everything. He arrived just in time, fighting off questions and simply saying he was called into a meeting because it was his work.

He cleared his mind during his shift, and as he was walking home with his dinner he decided to do a livestream on his channel.

"Hello loves, and welcome to my channel. I hope that you have a wonderful day, and if not? I hope that things begin looking up for you soon because you deserve it, you deserve it, you deserve it.

How's everyone doing today? This is going to be a combination Q&A, mukbang, listen to me do my school work livestream."

Harry didn't show his face on his channel. After being bullied by his cousin and his friends for years, Harry was extremely self conscious. He wanted to have followers because they liked his content and personality, not because of how they perceived his looks to be.

"How are you doing Evan? I've been better honestly. Today was an extremely rough day at school so I'm a little bit down, down, down. It's okay though, you have to take the good with the bad.

I'll keep answering questions while I eat, then I'll move into some trigger requests while I do some homework. How does that sound?"

Meanwhile, Draco was in bed, headphones in, watching his favorite ASMRtist go live on YouTube. He had an awful day, and was wishing the earth would swallow him whole. Why did he have to treat Harry like that? All over a sport he didn't even love anymore?

He started and stopped typing messages to Harry multiple times. What do you even say after something like this? Draco was angry, but he didn't know who with. The least he could do was get his part of the lab report done. It was his grade too.

Listening to the livestream, Draco made quick work of his part of the report, and sent it to Harry. This livestream lasted longer than most of the ones Evan had done previously, and Draco completely lost track of time as he made his way through his homework. It was nice, doing his homework with somebody, even if they weren't physically in the room with him.

It made him feel less alone than he actually was, and he was once again kicking himself for ruining whatever he had with Harry.

"Alright loves it's getting late. Thank you for spending your time with me and sending me donations. They're never required but they are appreciated. I'm saving up for a new laptop to hopefully provide better video editing. I record all of these on my phone for now, so I'm hoping to get better equipment soon.

Enjoy the rest of your day loves, I'm hoping for the best for you all. Stay well, be well, and spread kindness."

Draco had mucked that last bit up really badly today. Finally, Harry opened the message, and sent his work back to Draco. That was that then Draco supposed.

Hopefully Monday would be better. For now, Draco would focus on his team, because clearly that's all he cared about.
