Don't You Cry

Summary:

Tom has never been good at dealing with tears.

Notes:

Done for the 30+ fanfic discord's monthly drabble prompt — fool.

From my Harry Potter college roommate non magic AU. Tom and Hermione are friends ish. Tom and Harry are in the "bad at feelings" stage of their almost relationship, but Tom feels perfectly qualified to make assumptions. 🤣

Work Text:

Hermione was crying when Tom got to their table. Sighing, he tossed her a box of tissues. “He's a fool.”

Hermione dabbed at her eyes. “What are you talking about?”

“It's a boy, yes?”

“Why-?”

“Sensible girls like you only cry over boys.”

Hermione chuckled wetly. “I don't feel very sensible.”

Tom shrugged.

“You don't even know who-”

“Any boy that would make you cry is a fool.”

“He doesn't even know I like him.”

“Ah.”

“He likes someone else.”

“Ah.”

She sighed. “I'm the fool.”

“Love makes fools of us all.”

“Not you,” Hermione laughed.

“Not me,” Tom agreed.
