Great chapter! I really liked the descriptions of the interactions between Harry and Draco (and Harry's perceptions and plotting thereof), both men's somewhat out-there behavior (D still seems rather obsessive / a bit mad, and H's use of "sir" with him as a distancing mechanism was all kinds of concerning), and the newest clues in the case. I can't wait to see how H&D's circling of each other, and the intertwining of that with the murder investigation, will unfold. This specific paragraph really stood out to me while reading a well:

He could hear Malfoy’s rushing breath as if he was standing next to the man in a void. Malfoy’s face had turned red, and his head had tilted forwards as if he intended to stab Harry with his nose. Harry felt himself grow calmer and calmer. Malfoy seemed to be sucking all the anger out of the room. Given what lengths he had gone to to get Harry angry, Harry thought that was only fair.
