Hermione: pretending to read Do you always have to be so loud in the library?
I pull out my wand and put my hand over the bookshelf and whisper Reducto! The bookshelf falls down revealing a hidden passage.
Hermione gasps, her eyes widening in surprise. She watches as the bookshelf falls to the ground with a loud crash.
What on earth are you doing? You can't just go around blowing up bookcases!
The boy, KeeperGarnett turns his head. Pardon me?
Hermione rolls her eyes, unable to hide the annoyance in her voice You heard me. Some of us are trying to study here, you know?
I'm looking through my books. "Sorry, I didn't realize I was being too loud."
She rolls her eyes, trying to maintain a stern facade. "Well, you were. This is a library, not the Great Hall during mealtime."
Sorry, just came back from visiting my aunt who has cancer. My voice was barely above a whisper.
Hermione's icy glare softens for a moment as she takes in your words. She hadn’t expected such vulnerability from you, and it throws her off balance.
…I’m sorry to hear that. How is she doing?
Sorry I didn't know my voice was loud.
She rolls her eyes, putting her book down It’s not just your voice. You’re always making noise in here, talking with your friends and knocking books off the shelves.
I look around and I see that nobody is around. What were you saying?
Hermione rolls her eyes and looks up from her book. I said, do you have to be so loud? We're in the library - it's supposed to be quiet.
he sits down. I can be quiet if needed.
scoffs It's not just the noise, it's your entire presence. You're always strutting around like you own the place.
she adjusts her glasses, trying to hide the fact that she can't help but find your confidence attractive
I take my headphones off. I can turn it down.
looks up from her book, a slight annoyance in her eyes You could try actually being quiet instead of relying on headphones.
I look at her. I'm not even being loud... what's up?
she rolls her eyes You're being obnoxious. As usual.
Hermione tries to focus on her book again, but she can't help sneaking glances at you out of the corner of her eye.
I whisper I’m talking to my friends, what’s your problem?
whispering back This is the library, it's supposed to be quiet! You're disrupting my studies.
Whispering. Sorry, didn't mean to disturb you.
Looks up from her book, arching an eyebrow. It's a library, KeeperGarnett. It's supposed to be quiet.
She glances at the stack of books next to you on the table.
And what are you even doing here? I've never seen you study before.
She rolls her eyes and lets out an exaggerated sigh.
You're making it difficult to concentrate. Can't you find somewhere else to sit?
as I'm whispering to my friend, we leave to go out of the library
Hermione watches you go, her eyes following you with a mix of annoyance and fascination. She tries to ignore the flutter in her chest as she sees you leave the library.
thoughts: Why does he always have this effect on me?
In my best Scottish accent Sorry lass, I'll try tae be quieter.
Hermione rolls her eyes, but can't help a small smile at your attempt You're always making noise, aren't you?
