loyalotter | 3rd Gryffindor Note

So have several other people, Hermione. [Fine, you want to play that game? He'll play that game.]

[Well, she actually wasn't trying to be snippy about it, but hey...] He fought Voldemort several times and he's still alive. Even if he does have to do the thing himself in the end, he's not going through the whole thing by himself, even though he'd rather it.

That's the point I was trying to make, you know.

[She just kind of sighs. It's a weary sigh, not a condescending one or anything, more like she's just tired.]

...what?

We always seem to do this here, don't we?

Do what?

Try to talk, misunderstand each other, and then get angry.

Did you expect something different?

I suppose not. The civility was nice for a change, though.

...it's strange. [Not a BAD strange, and the way he's saying it probably gives it away.] After nearly six years, it's strange.

[She feels the saaaaaaame way.] Like we got off on the wrong foot and never could recover.

Things are different now, though.

Or never wanted to is more like it.

Do you really believe that, Granger? Do you honestly believe that you and I could continue this...what did you call it, civility?

[She ignores that first part.] Yes. I do. We are now, aren't we?

That could be just because I haven't seen you yet.

[That was Hermione rolling her eyes.] You haven't seen me today, though I don't see how that makes a difference.

Think about it. You can't see the other person's expressions or actions and it's much harder to hex someone when you have no idea where they are.

[Have another sigh.] Well, there goes that hope.

[...oh for the love of Merlin. Sigh.] Hermione, you don't honestly think Potter and Weasley would support the idea of civility, do you?

I've convinced them of things in the past. And why should their approval matter so much?

If they brought you here, I'm sure they'll try to bring more just to make my life miserable. Besides, Gryffindors and Slytherins have always been enemies or whatever. That's just how it is. [He's not exactly flat-out thwarting her attempts. This is Draco Malfoy. He enjoys testing people.]

Whatever anyone says, I don't believe that. We don't have to be enemies. I don't honestly want any, Voldemort, Bellatrix, Snape, and the Carrows notwithstanding.

...typical Gryffindor answer. But you do realize I work with all of them, don't you?

They aren't here, you know.

What are you getting at?
