"Merlin was showing off when he created you," Draco said, breaking the silence of their table in the library. The almost silent scratching of Hermione's quill faltered and he smiled at her when she looked up at him.
"Pardon?"
"I said, Merlin was-"
"No," she interrupted. "I know what you said. Why did you say it?"
"Because he was," Draco asnwered, shrugging. "I didn't think it was possible for perfection to be made but here you sit before me."
Hermione blushed and Draco smirked, happy that he could affect her like that.
"How did I get so lucky?" he asked, almost wistfully. He added a sigh and rested his chin on his hand. His smirk turned into a grin when she rolled her eyes at his poor acting skills.
"I ask myself that everyday," Hermione responded. "I wake up in the morning and struggle to find a decent reason for why I'm still with you."
"You wound me," he gasped, clutching at his chest. "Your words are a deadly weapon."
"My wand will be as well if you don't shut up."
"I'll shut up if you kiss me, Granger," he bartered, leaning forward and puckering his lips. Hermione stared at him in disbelief fro swooping down and pecking her lips against his before pulling back when he tried to reach for her. "No fair," he pouted.
"You said you'd shut up," she pointed out. "Now silence. I'm trying to study."
He rolled his eyes but kept quiet, allowing himself to merely feel comfortable in her presence.
