"We met to discuss another task for his probation another time... when we got up to leave, I dropped a book and bent to retrieve it, but I didn’t know Malfoy was as well. When our hands touched, I felt the same spark, the same sensation. I know he felt it too, I could see it in his eyes, but I panicked. I ran away. To the library of course. Checked out as many books as I could concerning a spark in the magical core. They all were quite similar and I wasn’t convinced, but I guess there is more first. That night I was on the astronomy tower studying and enjoying the peace when Malfoy stumbled upon me. He said "I had a feeling". I know, insane, just as insane as the clenching in my chest. But what’s more insane is that he... put his hand to my face." Hermione mimicked the motion of Malfoy’s hand that night for her two friends, "and I felt like I had caught fire in the best way possible. The spark was still there, but all of the feelings were even more intense. I’m logical, I look for logic and reasoning in everything... but I couldn’t reason this one out, it was like I felt that touch in my soul. I know I sound absolutely barmy but I swear it was real."
