Dunce- a person who is slow at learning; a stupid person.

"What was that about?" Hermione asks immediately
"She told me that Rich was doing..better and that he's stable..ish" Draco sighed
Rich nods, he knows
Hermione's phone pings and she takes Scorpius's hand leading him out
"Where are you taking him?" Draco blurted out
"Blaise is in the parking lot, it's getting late and he doesn't mind having him again." Hermione smiles
"I-"
"Do you trust me with him? You can take him.." Hermione sighs
"No no. Me and Rich have things to discuss" Draco nodded
Hermione left the room once again taking Scorpius to Blaise and his wife. Rich sat there smirking
"Spit it out mate" he laughs weakly
"They think tonight. What the fuck am I supposed to do?! Have you even left her anything?" He scoffs as he begins to pace
He was panicking
"I've left her all my money and my house so if she wants to move in she can. I've left her a book too with some letters in for when she's struggling and she has you" Rich sighs
"She doesn't have me." Draco scoffs
"Yes she does. If she doesn't she'll work and work and work then forget to eat and sleep. She'll kill herself trying to distract herself. She needs to let it all in at once, not ignore it" Rich sighs
"She doesn't need me Rich, all I've been feeling is guilt for treating her like shit through the war." Draco scoffs
"What fucking war?! I'm so confused" he laughs
"Never mind the fucking war! I don't know what I'm doing" Draco says
"It's good you're showing emotions. Anyways can you do me a favour?" Rich laughs
"What now?"
"If she cries at my funeral-"
"I'm back. How about a game of Bullshit Rich"
Hermione smiles
"Not now, I'm exhausted." Rich laughs
"So Rich when are you planning on leaving?" Draco asked
His eyes went wide
"Leaving?" Hermione smiles
"The hospital.." he smirked
"Fucker..." Rich whispers as he watches Draco laugh "Tonight. I think Tonight's best"
"Right." Draco's smile disappears
"A game tomorrow then?" She grins
"You can play tomorrow" Rich smiles
"Yeah Granger, how about you let me play" Draco smirked
"No." Hermione smiles
"Bet I could beat you." Draco smirks
"As if! I always win!" Hermione laughs
"BULL SHIT!" Draco grins
"WHAT?! HOW IS THAT- you're a right foul git you know that?" Hermione smiles
"Nope I'm pretty sure that's Pottah's line." Draco smirks
"How- did you hear that?! What else have you heard?" Hermione laughs
