A crying Hermione Granger sat in Myrtle´s bathroom. About three hours ago, Ron had had the courtesy of breaking up over dinner; a spectacle, at least for the Slytherins.

Something fell onto her lap, startling her out of her thoughts. A chocolate frog. She looked up and saw Draco Malfoy standing in the doorway, wearing a expressionless mask on his face. Was he making a silent peace offering?

She picked it up and threw another glance at the door. He was gone.

She never knew how long he had been watching her, or who had confounded Ron just before dinner.
