TROUVAILLE // H.Granger x Male OC

13

After a few days and that bloody match, Draven recovered a bit and Hermione is still with him all day. Though it was an unusual pairing, they both didn't mind.

In the Gryffindor common room, Hermione was busy reading her book when Harry and Ginny came and sat beside her.

"How's Draven doing?" Harry asked her.

"He's getting better. His cracked ribs seemed to heal greatly." Hermione informed him.

"That's good to hear," Harry said, his tone was pure. "I do hope he'll be fine soon. I saw how much he did block the bludger so that it won't hit your bleachers."

"He's a great person, Harry." Hermione's eyes twinkled. "I don't know why, but he is really a good person. He's not like the other Slytherins, or the Malfoy that we know."

"I do see that, Hermione." Harry smiled, looking at his best friend. He knew how much she adored the Malfoy boy. Ginny is right. Hermione is different whenever she talks about him.

"How about... Ron. How is he?" Hermione softly asked, uncertain of what they will say.

"Uhm... Well, he's fine." Ginny said to her. "Hanging out with Seamus and Dean every day. And Godric, he's still not going to change his mind about Draven."

"Then I wouldn't still talk to him. He's being unreasonable." The bushy browned-haired girl said, looking back to the book she was reading.

"Hey, before I forget. Professor Slughorn will be having dinner with the members of his club." Harry informed her. "This coming Friday night."

Hermione nodded. "I'll be there, Harry. Thanks for telling."

As Harry and Ginny started to walk away, she remembered that Draven is part of the Slug Club. And with that, she couldn't help but smile at the thought that he'll be there as well.

On the Slytherin common room, Draco then told Draven that he was invited to Slughorn's dinner this coming Friday since he's a member of his club.

"What are you doing in the Slug Club anyway, Draven?" Theo curiously asked.

"Nothing. Just pure talk you know. Professor Slughorn loves telling stories. And we'll just bore ourselves there, listening to his tales." Draven sat down on his bed.

"Granger's member of that club as well, right?" Draco asked his twin and he just nodded. "So, you'll be seeing her at the dinner."

"To be honest Draco, seeing Granger has been a daily habit for me. I think I'm not that awkward anymore around her." Draven sighed happily and lied down on his bed.

"Yeah. You're always together every minute of the day. Then maybe you could now have the courage to tell her everything, hm?" Theo chimed in as he prepared himself to sleep.
