Even more so than her heaps of schoolwork, staying out of Malfoy’s way after the incident (as she had mentally dubbed it) was what pushed her to the library many mornings and nights. Sure, Hermione had other places she could go. She used to spend more time with her friends in the Gryffindor common room, but she had been so run-down lately that even that felt taxing. No, the library was definitely more relaxing for her most days during the week.
