 Dumping the Half Blood Prince’s book wouldn’t change the fact that people got hurt, though. Of all people, Draco Malfoy had to get hurt. As if Hermione wasn’t conflicted enough, she now had this added to her confused conscience. They got into a nasty fight the last time they spoke, but that didn’t mean that she meant ill for him. When Harry pulled her and Ron aside to tell them what had happened in Myrtle’s bathroom, she could barely keep it together. Luckily, Ron and Harry imputed her heated reaction to her disapproval of the book, rather than worries for Malfoy.
