" Malfoy ! Thank god you're here ." Hermione sighed , when she saw Draco looking at them with amusement filled in his silver orbs . " Harry , Malfoy's here , now you can go have your dinner ."
" But Hermione ..."
" No but's Harry . He's here . I'm safe ."
" How can you be sure ?"
" Protective much , Potter ?" Draco still amusing himself from this weird pair . " I must say , I can't promise not killing her but other than that , she's safe ."
" Malfoy ." Hermione as well as Harry said at the same . But Draco just laughed .
" And I thought Gryffindors were supposed to be humorous . Stupid me !"
" Harry just go I'll be fine ."
Harry thought for some , before deciding at Hermione can be left with Draco and left , but not before saying ,
" Dropping her to the Gryffindor Common Room is your responsibility Malfoy . And if you're not there in 2 hrs , I'm sending a search party ." and he stomped off on his heals , still angry .
" Over-protective brother problems ?! " Draco state-asked [ If that makes sense ] , as they entered the library .
" Tell me about it . I mean , I don't know why he thinks I need protection ? I'm the freakin' Head Girl for a reason . And I'm obviously gonna be cautious after what happened . He's gonna face a lot of problems , if he continues to 'bodyguard' me around . As if I fucking need one ? And he has his own life to look into as well . It's really annoying ..."
" He just cares for you , Granger ." There was a long pause during which they just stared at each other . Draco giving Hermione a warning look . But she couldn't hold it in , and she burst out into hysterics . Once she was almost done laughing she asked , " Are you , Draco Malfoy , defending , Harry Potter , against me , Hermione Granger ?"
" Wow , Granger , you sure catch on to what's happening faster than anyone else . So much for being the brightest witch of the age ."
Once they were done with their studies , Draco dropped Hermione off at the Gryffindor Common Room . And Harry was immediately by her side . So she quickly went to sleep
