Evil [ee-vuh l adjective—morally wrong or bad; immoral; wicked.
"You're wrong."
Hermione spun, glaring at the girl with angry eyes. "Excuse me?"
Ginny shook her head, pushing past her angrily. "I said you're wrong," she repeated, clipping each word as though spitting venom. "You were made for each other; Ron loved you! You left my brother at the alter, and you think it's fine to show your face around here?"
"Is there a problem?" An arm wrapped protectively around the brown-haired witch's waist; she fit directly into the space created by his arm and side. "I heard yelling."
"Of course there's a problem, Ferret-boy," Ginny snarled. "You're not dead."
Draco pursed his lips, fingers flexing against Hermione's hipbone. "I'm sorry you feel that way."
"No you're not."
He smirked. "No, you're right, I'm not." He chuckled at the disgusted look on her face. "I'm sick of the way you look at her—like she's scum. You seemed to forget the way Ron treated her for years. I'll admit, I wasn't Mister Perfect, but I didn't specifically suck face with Brown to piss her off. Or practically finger her in public after their break-up. How many boys did you string along at Hogwarts, Weaselette? Waiting for Potter to sweep you off your feet? Didn't work out so well, did it? Potty and Loony were a better couple."
Draco turned to lead Hermione away, and she glanced over her shoulder, not sorry at all of the tears that fell from ex-best friend's eyes. "Next time you point blame, look at yourself, Ginny," said Hermione. "Those in glass houses shouldn't throw stones. I'm just as wrong as you were."
