"What's that there?" Hermione inquired curiously, looking askance at the scrap of parchment before Draco. As soon as these words had left her lips, Draco hurried to cover it with his hand.
"Nothing," he said hastily.
"It must be something," she insisted, "since you're attempting to hide it from me."
"I'm not hiding anything," he replied, steadfastly stubborn.
"Of course. As you said, you're hiding nothing."
Several moments passed and nothing more was spoken between them; and so Draco relaxed, his shoulders sagging and his grasp relenting. Yet just as he did this, Hermione seized the parchment from beneath his fingers.
"Laugh if you want," he challenged as she eyed it carefully.
"'Hermione is my Queen'?" she questioned after a pause. "I don't know whether to find this ridiculous or romantic."
