Summary
Hermione’s adult life has meant a lot of carrying on. A war ends? She carries on. Her relationship ends? She carries on. Her optimism about swift reform in the Ministry ends? She carries on.
An entire Yule Ball full of friends, acquaintances, and strangers mistakenly thinks she and Malfoy are having a grand relationship reveal mid-gala? She probably shouldn’t carry on.
“They’re happy for us, Granger.”
“And that, truth be told, is very unexpected.”
[In which a single evening involves fake dating, only one bed, and the idea that sometimes things can be easy.]

Summary
It required a strangely intimate level of trust, assuming Draco wouldn’t willfully mistranslate her, that he accurately interpreted a conversational ebb and flow.
It was irritatingly fascinating too, having him focus so acutely on her every word, pause for a beat, and then spin her intentions into a different language. If Hermione allowed herself the moment of indiscretion, she might have described it as a rush. A completely inappropriate rush, but a rush all the same.
[In which Hermione discovers an affinity for seeing Draco speak several languages.]

Summary
If Hermione wanted or needed simplicity in her life, she was doing a damn poor job of finding it. If she were looking for simple, she wouldn’t be here, literally freezing her arse off sitting on these cold steps amidst the seemingly infinite array of snowflakes swirling around them.
