"Miss Granger, are you okay? You haven't answered a single question all class." Professor Flitwick said. Hermione didn't notice, she was thinking too hard. It took Harry's kick to her shin to bring her back to reality.
"I'm sorry, professor, what did you say?" Hermione said apologetically.
"You haven't answered a single question, Miss Granger. Are you okay?" Flitwick repeated.
"Oh, yeah. I've just been really stressed with all the school work we have." She reassured. Flitwick went back to his lesson about something or other and Hermione went back to thinking. Draco had readily agreed to talk to Dumbledore. "Anything to protect me from you-know who" He had said.
Now she had to think of ways to protect Draco. The DA had started up again, everyone agreeing to meet on Saturdays to help Draco. He was safe while he was a t school, except for breaks and Hermione already had that figured out. He could either stay at Hogwarts or go somewhere with Aurors and Order members. No. it was summer break she was worried about.
He couldn't stay at Hogwarts then.
What she had said to Flitwick wasn't entirely a lie. She was stressed. Just not about school work. Relax Hermione, she thought, stop thinking about it and it will come to you.
She followed her own advice and thought about other things. She relaxed so much she almost fell asleep before she bolted upright in her seat. A few people looked at h weirdly, but she didn't care.
She had an idea.
