HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Normal P.O.V
Hermione walked down the empty halls of Hogwarts. Her footsteps echoing as she walked towards the Library where she usually spends her time. It is her second year at Hogwarts and life has been treating her – well, fine isn't the right word to describe it – quite odd. She suspected it though, knowing that she is learning at a school for wizards and witches. She befriended Harry and Ron, and also had a ton of adventure during her first year in Hogwarts.
However, today is not just a normal day. Today is the 19th of September, which is her birthday. Her parents sent her a present earlier and it made Hermione happy, but her two friends haven't greeted her… yet.
Inside the school's library she grabbed her favourite book from the shelf. With her favourite book in hand, she occupied and empty table and began to read "Hogwarts A History". Her tiny gentle hands flipping each page with care, and her brown shiny eyes shined merrily as she absorbed the information from her book. Although that small amount of peace and happiness was disturbed when she lifted her head up to see a boy with gold platinum hair sitting right across from her.
"Studying, mudblood?" He sneered.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" She said trying her best not to cry as he said the 'M' word.
"Well it's your birthday so I am here to grace you with my presence. Did Potty and Weasel greet you?"
Surprised and ignoring the first comment, she stared at him but sooner replied, "I'll have you know that they have." She lied and returned her attention to the book she was currently reading. However, she was irritated when he heard him laugh.
"I doubt that Granger, I'll bet that they haven't got the slightest clue."
"Oh? Then how did you know?" She stared, quite interested on what his reply would be. Draco was taken aback by her question, but quickly regained his composure.
"I have my resources," he said while examining his nails, and heard her scoff.
"Oh, please, as if someone would tell you when my birthday is."
"Maybe someone did."
"Who?"
He smirked and said in a sing-song tone, "I'm not telling~."
"Have it your way then," she said while she closed the book to read another one.
"Seriously Granger, what is with you and books?" He asked curiously as he peered over her large stack of books neatly piled on the table.
"I love reading books."
"So?"
"So, what?" She snapped.
"So, why spend your time reading them?"
Sighing, she closed her book and locked eyes with the boy in front of her. "I love learning new information," she said as she jumped off the chair and a muttered a spell to return all the books in their proper places.
"Pfft—you and your knowledge," he said as trailed behind her.
"What is your problem?" She asked and she turned around to face him. "Can't you just leave me alone for once, to at least enjoy my birthday? It's worse enough that you're here bothering me." She said angrily as she poked him on the chest.
"Why, if I did stop bothering you. I'll be bored," he said, chuckling as he teased her, causing her to groan to in frustration.
"Ugh! You are just unbelievable!" She said as she stormed off towards the exit.
He took out the small box from his pockets, which was wrapped with green paper and silver ribbon. He looked at it for a brief moment and placed it back in his pocket. Sighing he ran after out in the hallway.
"Granger, wait up!"
