It was a well known fact that Hermione Granger wasn't the only girl who had an odd fascination with the library.
Hermione, also known as the know-it-all, was enamored with all the wonderful literature that the books of the library held; opening a new book was like opening another portal for a different path that life could take her. Most of the population of Hogwarts admired her for this. Though they never dreamed of spending their lives with their nose in a book, it was her life, and as long as she didn't interfere with theirs, they were content with her being the smartest in her class.
But the other girl on the other hand… she was different. Hermione, the gossip mongrels of Hogwarts had come to realize, did indeed have a life. This other, Olive Whitley, Hufflepuff, had never been the outgoing type. The only thing Olive was known for was her unusual amount of time spent in the library. She had no social scandals that were known of, making her invisible to the students. Though, if one was to pass her in the library, they would quickly walk by, head down avoiding her gaze. There was only one rumor that involved Olive Whitley.
One time a boy had disturbed her reading. She had bit his arm.
Draco Malfoy had never run into Olive Whitley in his many visits to the library. Whether he considered himself lucky or not was not clear, as he was always in look of one other frequent library-goer over the other.
"Hermione?" He hissed down an aisle one day before dinner. "Hermione, where are you?"
The blonde walked through most of the aisles in the entire library in his quest for his missing girl. It was her turn to sit with the Slytherins, and he was convinced that by hiding out she was trying to skip out. If Draco had to sit with Weasley and Potter, than by damned she was going to listen to Blaise whine and pine over Ginny Weasley. He would not suffer this alone.
The restricted section was all he had left to search. Hermione had gotten better at hide-and-seek, Draco had duly noted, "Hermione?"
He soon felt a hand drag his arm, and ultimately the rest of his body, further into the isolated parts of the room. Under the impression it was his girlfriend, he smiled brightly, allowing himself to be pulled away from civilization.
But when the dark haired girl turned around, and Draco discovered that was definitely not his girlfriend, but was instead someone that could possibly be an ax-murderer that was out for his beauty.
"Welcome to the library, where your wildest dreams come true."
Suspicions confirmed, Draco found it fitting to scream like a girl and run as far away from this place as possible.
Draco Malfoy was never found returning to the library ever again, no matter how in need of a book he was.
