Hermione was curled up in the library reading an old edition of Billy Budd.
Her eyes narrowed as she read Claggart snarling at Billy.
Gee. Being hated for nothing. That doesn't sound familiar at all. I wonder why he's so mean to Billy. Maybe Claggart's jealous; maybe he doesn't want to admit he has feelings for Billy.
What if that's why Draco snaps ...He's got secret feelings for Harry.
Or me.
Or RON!
Hermione's eyes sparkled and she burst into giggles.
She didn't notice that a blonde student sat staring wistfully, watching her laugh, admiring her beauty from across the room.
