HE WILL NEVER CHANGE
In that very moment, Snape saw Ron and Harry enter; they sat in a relatively far table, so Snape knew he wasn't going to be able to hear their conversation. Snape turned to see his companions, they seemed immersed in their own conversation, so he muttered a spell under his breath to make Harry's and Ron's voices sound louder, but only to him.
"Harry, I want to talk to you about something before Hermione and Ginny return from Flourish and Blotts" said Ron in a serious tone.
Suddenly Harry didn't feel like talking, but he reluctantly agreed.
"You like Hermione, don't you" said Ron with a serious tone.
"She is my best friend, of course I like her" said Harry. Ron rolled his eyes.
"You know what I mean" said Ron in an anxious tone.
"No, I don't like her in that way" said Harry trying very hard to avoid Ron's eyes.
"Really" said Ron "Because your face said otherwise when you saw her grabbing Malfoy´s hand in Potions class"
"He was grabbing the hand of someone that enjoys offending her" said Harry.
"Yeah, well in case you hadn't noticed, Malfoy has been very nice to her lately" said Ron while he chuckled. "So I guess you wouldn't mind, if he... you know...asked her out or something" finished Ron, anxious to see Harry's reaction.
"He won't" said Harry rather quickly, Ron chuckled again. "And besides, even if he did, Hermione would never accept, because he may have been nice to her lately but he had always thought of her as a... well you know. Malfoy will never change" finished Harry.
"Your father did" whispered Snape.
"What" said Hagrid.
"Nothing" said Snape quickly.
McGonagall looked at him worriedly "Severus, are you sure you're okay" she said sounding apprehensive.
"Don't worry about him" said Dumbledore "He's okay" finished Dumbledore while he looked at Severus.
"Ah... what a lovely coincidence" Lucius Malfoy had just entered the Three Broomsticks.
"I was planning to visit you tomorrow" said Lucius to Dumbledore. "I have an important issue to discuss with you."
"Please sit down" said Dumbledore politely. And while Lucius sat, Snape muttered the counter curse, he had heard enough.
"I've heard that Draco has been... how can I say it... with bad companies" said Lucius.
"Which are" said Dumbledore calmly.
"Well, you know that muggle-born, Granger" said Malfoy with a despising tone. Hagrid gave him a look full of loath.
"If you want to accept muggle-borns, which if I may say it's very inappropriate, well go ahead, but I don't want them near my son" finished Lucius.
"Well, if you're asking me to keep your son away from Ms. Granger, I am afraid I can't do that" answered Dumbledore coolly.
"Well, then, I'll have to ask the Head of Slytherin House" said Lucius as he turned to see Snape. "You're a pure blood, you understand"
He understood all right, a "good" upbringing had taught him that muggle- borns were to be loathed, but love had shown him otherwise, in a rather painful way, he may add.
He knew that Draco would someday regret as much as he did calling Hermione a mud-blood and he was not going to help increase that remorse, by deliberately keeping him away from Hermione.
"I think Lucius" said Snape calmly "that Draco is old enough to decide who his companies are." Lucius was taken aback, he couldn't believe what he had just heard.
"Well if you excuse us" said Dumbledore "We have to return to Hogwarts" and all four of them stood up with Hagrid still looking at Lucius with deep despise.
