Just Luffy and Hermione thinking on how to make Ron and Draco get along, Harry is there for support, and he brought in a friend.

It was a bit after classes and they had time for themselves, Harry was doing the last bit of his homework with his new friend Ronald Weasely; who was still shaken up with Luffy's sudden proclamation, he was thinking back by now.

"Hey, scar brow." Emerald eyes rolled playfully as a familiar voice was heard.

Luffy smiled down at the sitting fellow Gryffindor's, "Have room for at least three more?" The straw hat-wearing student side stepped out of the way to reveal a bushy-brunette and the Malfoy Heir.

"Monkey!" "Luffy, come on..." The Slytherin and Gryffindor witch scurried over behind him again. Flustered at having to meet the boy-who-lived again.

Well, for Hermione it was more for Ron.

"Of course." Harry scooted to the side; Ron had no choice but to scoot over as well. Luffy confidently sat down beside Harry, and a reluctant Hermione and Draco followed suit.

They continued to scribble along their essays for Potions and Charms, along with Luffy asking some questions whenever he encounters something confusing, Hermione and Harry patiently guiding the straw hat-wearing boy to the correct answer.

"Hey... Malfoy?"

"What is it, Weasely?" Draco felt like biting his tongue, why must he sound so haughty? Ron wanted to blow, why does he have to be so haughty?!

Luffy shushed the other two Gryffindors, stopping them from interfering. "They need this." He whispered.

"Look, was that true? What Monkey- I mean... What Luffy said?" Ron hoped not, he couldn't bear the fact that someone had to grow up that way; sure, his brothers and mother might sometimes be overbearing but he wouldn't want them to think of him like that.

"M- Most pureblood families operate like that, Weasely, we're used to it-"

"Ehem?"

"I mean, I don't like it."

Never forget your worth just because your parents treat you like so. He remembers Monkey's words clear as day.

"That... That is horrible." Hermione broke the silence; she couldn't have been more truthful.

"I. Gotta go, I remember that I had something else to do." Draco excused himself, so much for trying to be friends. Ron wanted to apologize and the 'sorry, mate' was on the tip of his tongue.

"Drakie..." Luffy muttered, genuinely worried; this approach didn't go as smooth as he thought. Harry saw a friend in all of them but maybe the same can't be said by them.

"If you two wouldn't mind..." Luffy's head whips to the only girl in the group, Harry had to stop the forming smile on his face, it was straining him so much.

"May I stay for a while?" Ebony Brown eyes met Emerald green ones. Then turned to the girl with Chestnut brown eyes.

"Of course you can, silly!"

"You're more than welcome."

Hermione felt like crying, this was the first step.

"Thank you..."

Luffy thought, hard.

How can he establish a friend group with all his new friends when they have stereotypes tying them all down? Hermione was a bit open-minded thankfully, Harry accepted anything moral, Ron was getting there and Drakie... Drakie is..

Luffy sighs.

"You've been sighing an awful lot lately." Hermione playfully jabbed, Luffy giggled. Hermione was being playful!

"Just thinking on how I can make Ronniekins and Drakie get along." Hermione snorted at the nicknames.

"Wonder when I'll get my nickname." She chuckles

.

"You already have one!" Luffy puffed his cheeks, how could she forget about Sabo?

"Really? What is it?" The Gryffindor witch inquires excitedly, she had never been given a nickname by a friend before.

"彼女の年齢の最も明るい魔女!" Luffy spoke in an unfamiliar language. Confusing Hermione.

"Kanoja no- huh?" She had lost the fellow Gryffindor in his pronunciation halfway, she was pretty smart, yes. However, she has little knowledge in other languages!

"Oh, you guys!" Great timing, the Boy-who-lived emerged from the entrance with... Is that a... SLYTHERIN?

"Yo." The green-haired Slytherin, who seemed to be in a different year from them; waved a hand at the two other Gryffindors.

"Uhh, Harry...?" Hermione nudged her head to the Slytherin's direction. Harry merely shook his head, "Yeah, uh-"

"ZORO!" Luffy shot up from his cross-legged seating position and barreled into the older student. Whose name is apparently Zoro.

"Wait... Zoro? As in Roronoa Zoro? The same Zoro from the Roronoa clan in Japan?" The bushy-haired brunette repeated, Zoro nodding with every question; the Slytherin grinned. The way his teeth shined sent shivers down Hermione's and Harry's spine.

"So you know a ton of shit about my family, wow; You really are the Kanojo no nenrei no mottomo akarui majo!" He cackled, the Boy-who-lived breathed out; so, this guy simply did not have the exterior of an easy-going person. But he genuinely is an easy-going person.

"Language!"

"Language~" Two Gryffindors yelled in unison, Hermione scolded while Luffy teased as he swung back and forth while dangling on Zoro's arm as if he was a monkey bar.

"What about Zoro's family?"

"M- maybe later, Harry. Uhm, Luffy! What does my nickname mean exactly?" Hermione waved off Harry who only smiled when she walked over to the duo.

"Shishishi! It means; 'The Brightest Witch of Her Age'."

Hermione couldn't stop smiling to herself for the entirety of the day.

Cute fluff, friendship
