Hermione stood out of her chair and offered it to Draco who looked like he had been in a fight. He sat down silently and she closed the door.
"How may I help you?" Hermione asked Draco. Draco looked from Hermione to Ginny and back again.
"Sorry to interrupt Hermione. I can wait outside." Ginny looked shocked as Draco used Hermione's first name instead of Granger or Mudblood.
"No that's fine." Hermione said and took out her wand and pointed it at Draco's face. "Ready?" He nodded and she made fancy movements with her wand. She opened her eyes and Draco looked as healthy as ever.
"You should be more careful out there." Hermione said and Draco simply nodded and stood up.
"Thanks." He said and hugged her and left the room. She looked as shocked as Ginny did at this point. Not once as he hugged her before. Ginny looked at Hermione and raised an eyebrow. Hermione simply shrugged and sat back down in her chair.
"He comes in often like that?" Ginny asked and Hermione nodded.
"Yeah, yesterday he was twice as bad, I tell Harry not to push him so much, that he's proven he's good, but neither Harry or Ron believe me and they keep pushing him into dangerous boundaries."
"Wait… Harry is Draco's boss?" Hermione nodded and Ginny looked smug all of a sudden. "He get's what he deserves." Ginny said and took another sip of her drink.
"How could you say that?" Hermione asked shocked.
"In case you have forgotten, he's the reason Dumbledore is dead, the death-eaters getting their slimy grip onto Hogwarts."
"Dumbledore was already dying, you saw Severus's memory, he was going to kill Albus when the order happened because he promised too. And I didn't see you and your family getting threatened by Lord Voldermort himself. He's a changed man, you all can't see that because of your hatred for him."
"How can you defend him?! He tormented you for five years let the deatheaters into Hogwarts and followed You-Know-Who for as long as possible!"
"He's changed, he's an Aurour! And I wish people would just say his name. Harry defeated him, he's not coming back!"
"Better safe then sorry Hermione Granger!" With that she stormed out of the office. Had I just lost all three of my friends by arguing with one? Hermione thought as she sat down slowly. A soft knock came at the door, she ignored it as tears slid down her face. She heard the door open and sighed.
"Look Ginny, you've made your point, now please just go." She said through tears and took in a deep breath. She was pulled out of her chair into a soothing hug. This doesn't feel like anyone who's hugged me before. Hermione hugged back and got as close to the person as possible. It was then that she smelt his cologne. Saw his shoes when she looked down. She looked up in surprise at Draco who looked back.
