At Hogwarts, Hermione was always the top of every class but Draco had always been right behind her. This was a fact that used to annoy him about Hermione more than anything his father had planted in his mind. However, thinking about it now, he was proud of her tenacity and determination. Despite being Muggle born, she came into the Wizarding World about to turn 12 years old and she had studied hard. She caught up with everything he already knew and still managed to beat him at everything, with the rare exception of flying and Arithmancy class which they both shared together where he beat her score twice. In hindsight she was probably slightly distracted doing something incredible like saving the world for the 3rd or 4th time. She was actually incredible he thought to himself.
