Hermione Granger sat on a step in the stairway. It was her free period and she was trying to get a xbit of studing in before her next class. She had a huge test that was a fair part of her grade.
But studing hasn't been easy for Hermione lately. She couldn't keep her mind off of other things. Harry getting closer to defeating Voldemort, the students of Hogwarts without Dumbledor, Malfoy's dealing with his sudden isolation.
Yes, she was worried about Malfoy. All of his friends kept their distance. He was a blood tratior to them. He had to have Snape do his assignment that he was ordered to do. The rest of the Gryffindors hated him more than ever. Even the rumors going around says that his mother kicked him out and he had no where left to go.
Hermione's softness came in at that point. He had no family to go home to after he graduated Hogwarts. No one to celbrate it with. And graduation was coming close. She also saw that he had changed. He was upset and protesting when the new Potions teacher assigned them as partners. He just shrugged and went on. He also did his part of the work. He had changed. He smiled and he said hello to her. Like a friend, an equal. She was no longer a "Mudblood" to him anymore it seemed.
She almost liked the new Draco Malfoy, but their past held her back from talking to him about more than just Potions and other classes or the heys in the corridors.
