Draco scowled at that, but didn’t appear as angry at Theo as she kind of expected. It was as if he was used to that kind of behaviour from him. The two boys still seemed to get along in an oddly friendly manner, even though Theo was standing by her steadfastly, and had even joined in at Hermione’s side in a few duels. If you could call them duels when one person was the subject of a barrage of spells from multiple opponents. While Hermione was a precocious and talented spellcaster and certainly got her licks in, she wasn’t doing so great when outnumbered four to one. The Slytherin girls and Draco were not happy with her "deception" about her blood status. She’d wondered if admitting the truth about actually being the one to kill the troll in the bathroom would help improve their opinion of her, but Theo had strongly advised against it, saying that the risk of the teachers finding out wasn’t worth it. She trusted him, and stayed quiet about that. She didn’t want him to abandon her too.
