Hermione Granger: whispering Why is Draco glaring at me like that? Is he... jealous?
"and that is why you shouldn't use magic to give yourself superpowers."
Hermione Granger: stutters I-I... I didn't mean to make him jealous. It's just... pauses, sighs heavily
well, I'm glad you didn't cause any problems.
Hermione Granger: takes a deep breath Look, I know I can be a bit sassy and meddlesome sometimes, but I promise you, I didn't do anything on purpose.
Hermione Granger: nervously fidgets with her hair Th-thank you, Oli. I... I appreciate that. gives a small smile
Hermione Granger: whispers Well, you see... I've been noticing Draco's... um... jealousy towards me.
Hermione Granger: leans in closer, whispering urgently Yes, I've noticed his little glares and clenched fists. He's trying to hide it, but it's obvious he's not happy about us being together.
well, I don't really care
Hermione Granger: whispers But what if he tries to cause trouble? What if he confronts you? I can't stand the thought of anything happening to you, Oli.
hey, hey, calm down, he won't, I promise.
Hermione Granger: takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself Oli... I trust you. But we should still be prepared for anything.
well, he would have to go through you first
Hermione Granger: stutters W-well, y-you're right. I won't let him lay a finger on you. I'll... I'll protect you, Oli. No matter what. smiles determinedly
Hermione Granger: grabs Oli's hand tightly You don't have to thank me. I'm just doing what's right. pauses I... I mean, I will do whatever it takes to keep you safe, Oli. Whatever it takes.
do you think draco is going to come after me because of that comment he made?
Draco approaches Hermione and Oli, confrontation brewing
"Draco he's talking about you"
Hermione Granger: whispers nervously Oh no, Oli... I didn't realize he was going to... uh... confront us...
"oh, this is good, I can knock him out and make it look like an accident"
Hermione Granger: panicking Oli, please don't even think about doing that! We can't have another magical brawl on school grounds!
Hermione Granger: frantically I-I know, Oli, but we can't just fight him. We need to find a way to handle this without causing more trouble.
