Hermione was cognisant of the fact that her infatuation with Draco Malfoy was beginning to reach dangerous heights. After their conversation about his parents on their first night in the forest, Hermione released the last vestiges of prejudice she still held and found that left behind was a man who she could see herself well and truly falling for. It was also possible that she was beginning to thaw the ice king himself. Every day he smiled a little more at her jokes and held her hand a little longer as he helped her over the fallen trees and warped roots. The only thing that stood between them felt like Mount Everest - impossible to get over. The soulbond. Hermione decided that she would talk to Theo and see when he was going to tell Luna, maybe they could make a plan - break the news together.
