Just an idea that was running through my head, Characters may seem a tad OOC~

Hermione stared across the room silently, listening to Ron and Harry jabber away beside me. She couldn't understand how they could talk about quidditch literally every day. A few tables over was a certain slytherin Hermione had been watching for the past few days. Ever since Harry had mentioned suspecting Malfoy of being a death eater she had been keeping her eye on him. Even though she disagreed with Harry, she had to be sure.

Though watching him over the past few days and now as he picked glumy at his plate, she had noticed how malnourished he appeared. He rarely ate, he merely listened to his friends in silence. In all honesty, if he wasn't her most hated tormentor of course, she would feel sympathy for him. She would never ever admit it of course, yet she couldn't help picture herself in his place and feel terrible. How awful it must be to have Voldemort traipse through your halls, not even home would be safe.

Her eyes were drawn away from Malfoy when Ron called her name.

"Oi, Hermione!"
"What Ronald?" Hermione sighed, turning to look at him.

He sat beside her, his shaggy ginger hair falling into his eyes as he looked at her.

"Are you okay?" He inquired.
"Yeah, I'm fine." She replied.
"Okay, well Harry, Ginny and I are going down to the quidditch pitch to practice. Did you want to come watch?"

Hermione looked behind Ron towards Harry and Ginny. Harry had his arm around Ginny and they were talking in hushed tones. If she went down with them, she would most likely be left alone with Ron and of course she just hadn't decided whether she was ready for that.

"Uhm, I think I'll actually go to the library. I have the essay for Proffesor Slughorn to finish."
"Oh, Okay." Ron replied, looking down.

Hermione took one last look across the hall, only to find Malfoy's previous seat to be empty. Frowning, she turned back to Ron.

"Well, I'll see you later. I'm going to head upstairs now, I'll meet you all in the common room later?"
"Yeah, all right. See you." Ron said.
"I'll talk to you two later okay? Have fun at the Pitch." Hermione said, looking over at Harry and Ginny.
"You're not coming with?" Ginny asked.
"No, I've got an Essay to Work on." Hermione replied.
"You heading to the library again?" Harry asked, smirking.
"Yes, I am." Hermione huffed.
"Alright, we'll see you later than." Harry smiling at her.

Hermione waved at them all once more before leaving the Great Hall and walking leisurely towards the library.
