Goyle stopped his blunderings and looked up to face Draco and took a large
breath before answering. "Granger."
"What?" Draco shouted in utter dismay. "You can't have fallen for a mudblood!"
Goyle made no gesture to reply but nodded sheepishly. Draco's insides squirmed and he calmed himself down. He also had started to notice the bushy haired Hermione Granger who had grown so pretty over the years. Her hazel eyes were always twinkling and her smile sent shivers down Draco's spine. But he couldn't believe that Goyle had fallen for her too. This just wasn't happening. Draco wasn't blind. He could see that Goyle wasn't bad looking anymore. In fact, he was every girl's dream of the perfect muscle man only nobody noticed because they were used to the fact that Goyle was a stupid good-for-nothing idiot. But not surprisingly, Draco was still the hottest guy at Hogwarts, the slim, blonde guy of everyone's fairy tale prince who would suddenly pick them up and take them away to live happily ever after.
Draco forced the pretty face of Hermione's out of his mind as Goyle interrupted his thoughts. "Look, I'm gonna catch Hermione at lunch and give her this. What do you think?"
He took a small package from his black robe and handed it to Draco. Draco studied it carefully. It had been carefully wrapped - he recognised it as the most expensive wrapping paper at Madame Zuuchis, a small but expensive shop in Hogsmeade. The wrapping paper fell apart and a small heart-shaped opal was seen. Draco was mesmerised by the mysterious colours of the opal as they wove in and out of each other - shining in the dim light of the dungeons.
"Granger will hate this." Draco replied to Goyle after realizing it was the perfect gift.
"How would you know, you never took any notice in her." Goyle answered as he snatched the gift away from Draco.
"Man don't take it that way! I meant like, this is Granger's style. Granger's idea of a present is probably Shakespeare or um, Arithmancy. Your opal is great." Inside Draco knew Hermione would love the opal but he kept his mouth firmly shut.
Goyle paused thoughtfully. "What will I do with this opal then? It cost me 30 galleons! Plus, the wrapping paper cost me loads too. Should I refund it to a book of Shakespeare? Which is more romantic, A Midsummer Night's Dream or The Taming of Shrew?"
"The Taming of the what?" Draco asked, having no clue what Goyle was talking about.
"You're the one who suggested Shakespeare!" Goyle said, shrugging his shoulders.
"You actually know Shakespeare?" Draco asked, shocked at finding Goyle knew something more than him for once.
"No.not really. I'll pop over to Hosmeade for a bit ok? Answer the roll for me." With that Goyle rushed past Draco and through the door, heading the way to Hogsmeade.
Draco sighed as he thought of Crabbe and Pansy scuttering along after him as he carried on his way to the Great Wall to attend the rest of the emergency meeting. "At least Goyle's got better through the holidays. Not annoying me as much anymore." Draco thought, but thinking of the incident of the bathrooms in the morning made him change his mind, just a little.
