TROUVAILLE // H.Granger x Male OC

"Good morning, Draven." Daphne Greengrass, one of Draco's and Draven's friends greeted her while they were having breakfast in the Great Hall.

"Hey, Daph." Draven waved back at Daphne. She is seated in front of the twins, her gaze not leaving Draven who is busy sipping his drink. "Yeah?"

"I missed hanging out with you. You were always seen together with..." Daphne seemed to look back at the Gryffindor table, specifically on the bushy browned-haired girl. "...Granger."

"Yeah. He has remedial sessions with her every after class you know?" Draco butted in, making Draven look at him. "What?"

"I told you to not tell a single soul about it..." Draven whispered to him then looked back at Daphne. "Yeah, I kind of have some study sessions with her every after class, that's why."

"I can always help you with whatever topics you're confused about, you know that, right?" The Slytherin girl gave a subtle wink at Draven. "Well, I just want to tell you that... we have our next Hogsmeade trip this coming week. I was wondering if maybe you could..."

"Join you? Of, course I will Daph." Theo then quickly chimed in. "I would totally go whenever you will go."

Daphne just looked at Theo, then back at Draven. "So?"

Hermione couldn't help but eavesdrop on what the Slytherins are talking about. Luckily, she wasn't with Harry and Ron at this moment.

"Uh... I'll think about it..." Draven unsurely replied to her, remembering that Hermione told McLaggen that they have plans this coming week at Hogsmeade.

The Gryffindor girl couldn't help but roll her eyes and went back to reading. She felt... not jealous but... how Draven really gets the attention of almost all the girls in Hogwarts is making her... feel upset. She knows that Daphne and Draven were... a thing last year.

It's Gryffindor's Quidditch practice today, and they needed to train their new recruits before the upcoming match against Slytherin in the next weeks. Harry, being the captain of the team together with his girlfriend, Ginny being the co-captain all gathered the applicants for their team.

Hermione was watching their practice. Ron was chosen to be the main Gryffindor's keeper while Cormac was the reserve one. Some of the students said that Ron just got in because he's best friends with Harry. But Hermione knew how much he worked hard for it. Even though she never liked Quidditch because literally, it is a death sport and at the same time, it divides and adds the rivalry of every house team particularly Gryffindors and Slytherins.

"Hi."

Hermione perked up and saw Draven beside him. "Malfoy! What are you doing here?"

"I just saw you from across the pitch." Draven then looked at the field. "Is this Gryffindor's practice?"

"Hey, you aren't supposed to see this. Or your team will have an idea about their strategies against your team." Hermione said and the Slytherin boy just chuckled.

"I won't be a snitch to your team, don't worry. Besides, I wanted a fair game." Draven told her, and then picked out the sketch pad that he would show her. "I owed you something remember? Since you came to our previous match, I think this is the right time to repay you."

Draven gave her one of his sketch pads, apart from his personal sketches of her of course. He saw how the Gryffindor girl twinkled her eyes and excitingly took his sketch pad from his hands.
