Draco's Presence when Mrs. Norris Found

[GRETCHEN BAKIES]

No: HPFGUIDX 120627


I just noticed something strange while I was re-reading COS.  Mrs. Norris was found on the second floor (p 105), but the Slytherin common room is down in the dungeon.  So why was Draco in the crowd that surrounded Harry, Ron and Hermione? Had Lucius told his son about putting the diary in Ginny's book and he wanted to see the results?  Yet later on pages 106-107, Draco denies knowing who the heir of Slytherin is and that his father didn't want him to know too much about the last time the Chamber was opened, as it would look suspicious.
 
Also, on p 92, Harry is described as dragging his feet down the second floor corridor to Lockhart's office, but on p. 107, Lockhart describes  his office as "nearest - just *upstairs*".  Is this a flint?  BTW, I'm using the Bloomsbury paperback edition for page references.
