It had been three years since she’d disappeared from the Wizarding World. Occasionally,  The Daily Prophet  would run some ridiculous piece about her, guessing at her love life and career. Speculations of romance between her and Ronald Weasley had been put quickly to bed when Ron married Parvati Patil mere months after the final battle. Likewise, Potter quickly settled down with the youngest Weasley, but nothing concrete about Granger after she left Hogwarts with more N.E.W.T."s than Albus Dumbledore. Just three years of scraps. Draco had devoured every bite. The only one he gave any credence to was a piece in  The Quibbler, a sighting of Granger on a beach in Australia with Hobgoblins frontman Stubby Boardman, who bore a slight passing resemblance to Draco’s second cousin, Sirius Black.
