“To housemates,” he says.
“To worthy adversaries,” Hermione offers.
“To skulking thieves with an insatiable taste for my jumpers.”
“To pâtissiers, and their tender balls.”
He chokes back a laugh. “To friends...”
“Go on,” Hermione prompts.
Cheeks flushed, eyes aglow with wine, he tinks his glass against hers. “With whom we feel less alone.”
They return with chilly bottles, and toast to a happy Christmas and the coming New Year. Hermione chases the tart apple fizz of brut with long swallows of self-candour, privately wondering at the improbability of being Draco Malfoy’s acknowledged friend, and at her restless, relentless, reckless desire to know what it would be like to be more.
“You’ve spangled your baby tree.” Ginny peers at a crystal pine cone magically suspended from Stanley’s stoutest excuse for a branch. “Hermione, this is singular.”
The cone slowly pirouettes inside a private snowfall, its scales chiming in pentatonic accord, splintering the room's candle light into a thousand prismatic scraps.
From across the room, Draco, proud gift-giver, catches Hermione’s eye.
And me? he seems to ask.
Hermione turns away and smiles into her coupe. And you, she thinks. You know, you know, you know: and you.
