It had gone just as Hermione expected it to, just as she had known deep down ever since she smelt the sweet scent of Malfoy's Amortentia - he was in fact her Soulbond, and she his. Slughorn told her with a feigned look of regret on his face, however she could feel his excitement bubbling beneath the surface.

She pondered whether or not to say Theo had figured it out too but decided it was her business, not Slughorn's to be concerned about.
