Stepping out of the shower, the air thick and steeped in the scent of her vanilla shampoo, Hermione wasn’t even sure what she would have said to Malfoy had she found him in the library. The idea of a simple hello even put her on edge after how they’d left off their last conversation, not to mention the matter of the threatening letters his mother was receiving. McGonagall had pulled Hermione and Ginny aside the previous day to let them know that the DMLE was no closer to finding the person who was sending the threats and to stay vigilant. For a second in time, Hermione found herself remembering Moody and a time when the phrase "constant vigilance" was shared amongst friends in the context of war. Now, seemingly in peacetime, it did not feel right.
