"You know I can't do that. He's been my best friend since I was eleven. What kind of friend would I be if I dropped him for my boyfriend?"

"I came to Dumbledore's side for you! You *know* what that cost me in pride, but I did it anyway, for you."

"No. I've put up with him long enough. And Weasley too. You've always known I can't stand them."

"You want me to drop Ron too? Are you planning to let me keep *any* friends? I'm sorry, Draco, but I choose Harry."

Draco sighed. "Hermione! Wait!"
