Draco spent a lot of time alone. Coming back for 8th year, most of his friends had chosen to move on, and the few acquaintances he had left at school didn’t want to be associated with him any longer. He couldn’t stand being holed up in the common room every single day, and had taken to spending long swaths of time in the library. Every once in awhile he would notice Granger, always posted up at that same table. It mostly didn’t bother him, it was an exceptionally great spot though, and he wanted to use it himself. He knew when she would be there most of the time, she kept a pretty rigid schedule. So when he found himself in the library during times when he didn’t expect to see her, he would commandeer the nook for himself.
