Set 6th Year(Half Blood Prince)-Hermione's POV
"Harry, don't you ever wonder, what would it have been like if we were friends with Malfoy?"
"I guess. I mean, I probably would not have been second guessing his every move as I am now, possibly helping him avoid becoming a Death Eater. But-"
"Harry!"
"What did I do now?" Harry asked while I glared at him, "Oh, this is about the Death Eater thing. Hermione, think about it. He is rarely here, never talks to anyone, takes mysteriously long walks at the specific hours of 1am, 6pm, and midnight. That has
"Death Eater" written all over it!"
"Harry," trying to calm him down, "we don't know for sure. And I don't want him to be a Death Eater. It just isn't right!" Ugh now I'm starting to tear up, blaming it on hormones and over tiredness.
"I know," he said awkwardly, not sure why Draco could result in me acting this way, "let's just talk about something else and focus on Malfoy in the morning. How's Ancient Runes?"
"Oh Harry it's so exciting! I have so much fun learning about history. But, I'vealready read the whole textbook, and we aren't allowed to read past Advanced Ancient Runes IV..." continuing in a rant on my disappointment in being held back.
11:20pm
After talking with Harry for a bit longer, I noticed the time, bidding him goodnight so I can finish the last of my potions homework.
After finishing, I climbed into bed with my last thoughts on Draco Malfoy. I have concluded that I would be angry with him for becoming a Death Eater, but who knows? We're not even friends, we're enemies! Why should I care?
This is my first story, so reviews are great. Let me know what you think and if I should continue writing. Thanks so much :)
