TROUVAILLE // H.Granger x Male OC

9

Days after the Slytherin and Hufflepuff quidditch match, Draven and Hermione are both in the library for another remedial session. The two Gryffindor boys, namely Harry and Ron still haven't had the slightest idea who is Hermione's student in this session.

"Hey, Malfoy." Hermione greeted the Slytherin boy who just arrived. His hair is disheveled, and he was panting like he's been running.

"Hi... Granger." Draven replied, still catching his breath. "Sorry I..."

"Hey, sit down for a while," Hermione said as she pulled a chair beside her. "Why are you in a rush by the way?"

"I am running late, that's why." Draven finally got his breath back. "I don't want to keep you waiting."

"Oh." Hermione checked the wall clock. "Actually, being 1 minute late is not bad."

"Well, I'm just eager to see you that's why." Draven fixed his hair and wiped a streak of sweat on his forehead. "Now... where did we stop yesterday?"

Hermione blushed from what Draven said. She can't control the butterflies in her stomach. "U-Uh... Page 154, I believe."

Draven clicked his tongue as he scanned the pages of his book, and glimpsed at Hermione beside him. This will be his favorite time of the day. Sitting and studying with her in the library, in this very spot. He loves these moments they share together. He knows that speculations will arise, Crabbe and Goyle could possibly be the reasons why his Father will know about this fueling love that he has for the Muggle-born.

Then there's Ron Weasley who could make a move on her. Everything worries him but one thing is for sure...

He will do everything for Hermione Granger...

And what he meant by everything, is everything even if he will defy his father's beliefs, or if he will get tortured by Crucio every time and get beaten by his trusty black crane. He will endure every punch, spell, and whip from his cane, everything for Hermione.

"Hey, have you read about this certain potion... Desiderium Cordis?" Draven asked Hermione as he slid the book towards the Gryffindor girl which made him move closer to her. Their arms are brushing off each other, but since they're good friends, they don't mind now.

"It's a kind of love potion which makes the drinker do whatever what their hearts desire. I mean, everything that they desire, romantically." Hermione explained to the Slytherin boy. "It's a complicated potion that needs a systematic process to brew and make. It's a 7th-year potion topic. We'll have it next year."

"Oh... Complicated. I hate complicated things." Draven said as he went back on his reading. "But it's interesting, you can do whatever your heart desire."

"And what do you romantically desire huh, Malfoy?" Hermione raised her eyebrow at Draven. "I think you already have everything your heart desires."

"You don't know me, Granger..." He said cockily and chuckled.
