After Harry asked Malfoy for help with the whole Borgin incident, I began to see the blonde git around the offices more and more frequently. Months later, when Harry invited us all to dinner, it wasn't even that surprising when Malfoy came along.
Sitting at our table and observing snippets of conversation between Malfoy, Harry, and Hermione, I was surprised to see how alike Hermione and Malfoy were.
Determined and smart, Malfoy could match Hermione's intellectual debates without pause. Hermione's sharp tongue danced around Malfoy's dark sarcasm. And by the light of enchanted candles, they were both beautiful.
I wondered if I was pursuing the right one.
