“No, “Mione told me. What are you going to do?”

“What can I do? I like Draco Malfoy as much as you do.”

“Which isn’t very much then,” Ron met Hermione’s glare. “What? I’m being truthful.”

Harry smiled softly. “I know you’re trying your best to support me, Ron. Stop looking at him like that, Hermione. After all, as long as I don’t reject Malfoy over there, nothing bad happens.”

“Are you sure about this Harry?”

“Positive. I will not be bonded to Malfoy.”

“Thank you Merlin,” Ron muttered under his breath, earning another glare from Hermione.

All three started at Pansy’s shriek. “Professor! It’s Draco! He fainted!”

Hermione turned shocked eyes to Ron and Harry, who shrugged and continued watching the sleeping “mini-dog-like-thing”.

“He couldn’t have heard us Hermione. He’s half a field away, for Merlin’s sake. You could hardly see him from here,” Ron pointed out.

Hermione nodded. “Yes, I’m just jumping to conclusions.” But deep down, she wondered if she was jumping to the right conclusion. “Harry, you know how you always carry your cloak with you?” she asked, emphasizing “cloak” so Harry would know what it meant.

“Yeah, why?”

“May I borrow it?”

“Sure…wait right now?”

“I want to find out what’s going on.”

Harry shook his head but relented. “Just make sure you don’t get caught.”

Hermione nodded, slipping into the shadows of invisibility.
