Sometimes she thought Draco had a crush on her – the signs were there especially after she broke up with Victor. But he never acted on it. She tried discussing why that was with her friends, but they were no help. Forneus suggested threatening to eat him alive if he didn’t please her – it was a guaranteed way to get a co-operative partner without the need of spells. Paimon warned her that you shouldn’t let underlings get ideas above their station, and advised she should punish him if he crossed a line. Her mother’s sensible advice about maybe asking him out to a movie and seeing how things went was less terrifying but just as unhelpful – Draco stutteringly said that he had no idea what that was, and fled the conversation – and the room – as quickly as he could.
