Their would have been kiss had been put on the back burner for the time being

They had more urgent matters to attend to

Hermione and Malfoy were currently in the Library of Alexandria

Hermione felt like she was in Heaven

She could feel Malfoy practically bouncing beside her

It seemed that their love for books was more important than whatever had almost transpired between them

They were greeted by the head librarian, she was way older than Dumbledore if Hermione was being completely honest

Her large spectacles made her eyes seem larger

"What do you want?" She asked harshly

Hermione jumped and turned to Draco who was looking at her already

"I'm Auror Hermione Granger and this is Cursebreaker Draco Malfoy, we need access to the oldest archives you have of—"

"Why?" The librarian spat

"Because we're trying to—"

"No"

Hermione and Malfoy looked at each other

"But we—"

"No"

Hermione rolled her shoulders, she opened her mouth to say something but Malfoy stopped her

"She's not going to move" he whispered

"But we—"

He dragged her out of the entrance and they stood by the entrance

"What the?—"

"Who am I?" He asked

What is he on...

"What?"

"Are you dumb? Who am I Granger?" He asked her

"An annoying, snobbish, supercilious, pointy, blond ferret?"

"Ha-ha, very funny, you're hilarious" he drawled sarcastically

"You asked who you were, I answered" she shrugged casually

He rolled her eyes

"I'm Draco Malfoy" he told her

"You hit your head or something?"

He grumbled and pulled out his wand

"Expecto Patronum"

A Barn Owl flew around the entranceway before landing on Malfoy's shoulder

Hermione stared at the bird with admiration

The bird hooted and flew to her and landed on her shoulder

"It's...beautiful" she whispered

Malfoy walked up to her and rubbed the owl's belly

"Mother, I need you to pull some strings and allow us passageway into the library of Alexandria" he said

The owl hooted and flew away

Hermione turned back to him

"I-I-I didn't know you could produce a Patronus" she confessed

"Not a lot of people know, it's only been a few weeks since my Patronus took corporeal form" he confessed

"A few weeks?"
