Summary: Madam Pince would watch the pair walk into the library, one after the other, attempting to be inconspicuous. She knew they thought she didn't notice, but she did.

Madam Pince Is Not Oblivious

Madam Pince could tell they thought she didn't notice, but she did. She saw the girl with curly brown hair, (Name of Hermione Granger, she beleived) almost buzzing as she walked past her favourite books, a strange light in her eyes as she skipped towards the abandoned stacks at the back of the library.

She realised the blonde boy (who, of course, everybody knew to be Draco Malfoy) only ever came in when the Granger girl was already there, dawdling for a minute in her plain view, pretending to look interested in the books he saw, before heading straight after the girl.

Madam Pince didn't miss the heated moans that vibrated through the stacks, the pants, the shuffling and ruffling of clothes falling to the floor. The hot whispers exchanged between two lovers when they beleived no one could hear. Many a time she had thought to inform them that they weren't going unnoticed, though there were (luckily) never any students on the occassions. However, she decided not to embarrass the couple.

Often, Madam Pince wondered whether it was her duty to report the shenanigans to the headmaster - surely this sort of behaviour was discouraged? Although sometimes she thought that he would very probably ask them to do it more often, perhaps even in public to publicise inter-house unity.

But Madam Pince knew that it was a forbidden love. She knew that they still had to hide their feelings for each other before their friends – glaring and hissing at each other, throwing insults as hard as they always had – but all the while, she saw the raw love and passion sparkling in their eyes.

And so she let them alone, waiting every evening for the intelligent girl and the hardened boy to arrive, watching each day as the love between enemies grew.
