Since that day in the Maid Cafe Hermione saw Malfoy everywhere. He was suddenly in half her classes, always passing by her in the halls, sitting near her at meals. Or as close as the proximity of their house tables allowed. He had been placed in Seiran House and she had been placed in Shunrai so she was at least granted a reprieve from his presence at night in the safety of her dorm. But it wasn’t enough because she worked almost every evening after her classes were done and Malfoy had started coming into the cafe almost every single day. And he somehow managed to always end up seated in her section. She wondered if it was some specific charm he’d crafted, or if he’d downed a massive amount of Felix Felicis, or if she was just cursed.
