Then without giving Malfoy a chance to mule over her apology, she said, "We have never been introduced properly.’ She stood up and extended her hands towards him. Then almost a little shyly she said, "Hi, my name is Hermione Granger. I am a Muggleborn witch. I have lived in London all my life until I went to Hogwarts. But now Hogwarts feels more like home than anywhere else. I have two best friends. They are annoying, protective and I have never loved them more than in the past year. I want to promote S.P.E.W and help free house elfs. I know that’s ambitious and a little arrogant to think I can do that all by myself. Which is why I was hoping, Draco Malfoy, would you like to be my partner? But more than that would you like to be my friend?’
