Hermione was so absorbed in the book that she only noticed that she wasn’t alone when something brushed against her arm. Fumbling with her book, she quickly looked up and found Malfoy staring down at her. He quickly lowered the hand that had brushed against her arm, taking a step back. Clutching the book against her chest, Hermione fought the blush that was healing her cheeks. To no avail, because all of sudden her heart was fluttering in her chest and there was a fluttering sensation somewhere in her stomach.
