6th year – a random Hogwarts day
There was a boy, who pretty much the whole school knew him. Everyone thought he had a perfect little life. I mean who wouldn’t he was rich, handsome, smart, had a perfect reputation and not to mention a Slytherin pure-blood in the sacred twenty-eight.
But this little boy wasn’t so perfect how everyone thought, in fact he was currently breaking down and crying in Myrtle’s bathroom, with the annoying ghost trying to calm him down.
What neither of them knew there was actually a third person in the bathroom with them.
“I can’t do it!” the blonde slytherin prince cried out. She didn’t know why he was crying and how he looked she even pitied him a bit. The bushy girl had few ideas, hoped she was very wrong.
After just looking at them she decided to leave them alone. Just as she wanted to leave the annoying ghost flew after her and whispered angrily “Aren’t you going to help him?”
Before she could reply the ghost interrupt “I would love to but you know I’m a ghost.” She said annoyingly cute. Hermione on the other hand just nodded, thinking wtf she just got herself into.
She turned around and slowly started walking towards him. “Are you alright?” she asked quietly, preparing herself to get screamed at. But what she got was just a scared and a shocked Draco Malfoy.
After a moment just staring at each other Malfoy whipped out his wand looking ready to fight but in the inside he was still breaking barley keeping himself toghether.
She casually put her hands in the air, trying to show him she isn’t here to fight or anything like that. “I’m not here to fight, I just wanted to check if you are alright…” She spoke keeping her calm.
“Get out.” He told or more likely ordered her. “I saw you running in here and like I said before, I wanted to see if you are okay” She repeated barely keeping her calm.
“Please, just please get out.” Now he was starting to get desperate. Which she never thought she would hear nor see this ever.
“No.” “What do you mean no?” he replied
“I mean no, I’m not leaving until you calm down.” If there was anything that you needed to know about Hermione Granger is that she is very smart and stubborn.
“Tell me what’s wrong please…” “I can’t otherwise I will have to kill you” he laughed without a drop of humor in his voice.
“Fine…I will stay here until you calm dawn without telling me what’s wrong.” She went closer to him and carefully touched his left arm. He quickly pulled away. Hermione was confused a bit, but just shrugged of thinking he didn’t want to touch her because she was a Mudblood.
She didn’t give up tho instead she put her hand on his shoulder. “Look me in the eyes and breath in and out.” Her voice was super calm and angelic.
He did what she told him and after a few moments he was completely calm.
“Thank you, Granger.” He told her being completely honest with her. “You’re welcome.” She smiled slightly and honestly for the first time in a while.
They got their bags and with the last smile at each other they left.
