Draco was worn out, from fighting all of those houseplants. However, he was still feeling rather triumphant after having bested all of the houseplants. He nodded in response to John's question and they strolled out the door.
"So," said Draco as they started down the hallway, "would you like to go back to the Manor together? We both have to report to Crowley, after all." A thought occurred to him. He might as well try to find out more about his new job. "What sort of jobs does he usually have you do, anyway? I just started working for him."
John chuckled. "Jobs? He's not my boss, kid..."
Draco was momentarily taken aback. "Wh-what? You said he sent you here!"
John smirked. "No, I didn't. I said I was doing him a favor. Never said he asked." He winked. "Tell you what though, I won't tell him about Ivy and Lily if you don't tell him you saw me here. Deal?"
Draco considered this. Crowley probably wouldn't like it if Draco withheld information from him. On the other hand, he didn't much like the idea of Crowley hearing about the debacle with the houseplants. He held out his hand. "Deal." They shook and walked downstairs.
Outside, Draco thought to ask, "So, will I see you again?"
John grinned. "Oh, I expect so. I'm like the proverbial bad penny, you never know when I might turn up. See you around, kid." With that, he vanished into the shadows, probably in the direction of the nearest pub.
Draco headed back to the Manor. There was a lot to think about, and he had to discuss it with Crowley.
