At lunchtime, Hermione found herself once again making her way to the field where Richard and Draco were working. Today, she found herself uncharacteristically nervous. When she arrived at her destination, she couldn’t bring herself to do anything but smile shyly at Draco, and he at her. Richard looked between them suspiciously but said nothing as he ate his bread and cheese. When the men had finished, Hermione gathered up the lunch things and, with a wave, headed back to the homestead.
