Draco was having a hard time grasping the concept of Muggle dentistry. Seeing Hermione subject herself to a full half-hour of reclining on an ominous-looking chair while her father prodded her teeth with metallic rods frightened him.

Muggles must have a knack for torture, he thought.

After she was finished, Hermione joined her fiancé in the waiting area of her parents' dental clinic.

"Dad's ready to fill your cavities now," Hermione told Draco. "Please, Draco, to him it's a chance to bond with you."

Draco sighed.

If Muggles liked doing things the hard way, he wasn't going to stop them.
