"I guess..." Longbottom agreed hesitantly, sounding unconvinced, and for once Draco agreed with Longbottom. Sometimes you might not know the future exactly, but you knew enough that it was wiser not to try and suffer the hurt of failure. Trying and failing was like someone giving sweets to a child, only to snatch them away again before the kid got to enjoy them. Draco knew Hermione saw it differently; she could somehow enjoy the moment, even knowing that the future would likely be dismal. But then she seemed mostly convinced they could still be together without any problems post-war; stupidly optimistic Gryffindor.
