What if Potter tried to make her choose between him and everyone else and Draco? Who would she choose? Could Draco blame Hermione if she chose her friends, her whole life over an ex-Death Eater with nothing going for him except whatever it was she said she saw in him? Draco clenched his jaw and his fingers twitched. He’d understand. He’d understand, but – yeah, Draco would blame her. He’d fucking hate her for that. He held his breath as Hermione stood silent, seemingly searching for words without any luck.
