They had run into each other exactly four times since their break-up, and neither Hermione nor Ron were getting any more comfortable with inevitable situation. This time was the fifth. Having been in the lift first, Ron fell back towards the corner of the lift and stood straight and stiff, eyes fixated on the cauldron-shaped stain on the floor; Hermione's chin was higher than usual, and she tried her best to look at ease, although she did not pull it off well. Another passenger on the lift, a small wizard who Hermione did not recognize, sniffed through his nose as though he may have a cold, but Hermione imagined he was sniffing out the story between Famous Potter's two best mates. Not a word was shared in the lift, and it felt entirely unnatural for both Gryffindors, but neither were willing to break the silence. Each was innocent, the other was guilty, and both would find a way to win Harry over to their side and become his One True Friend. Hermione was brighter than Ron, that was sure, and so she would triumph this battle.

	Hermione turned her head and looked at him. "It will be whenever it will be. Why, need me to save someone else from Azkaban?" She winced. That was unnecessary. "Sorry." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

At her comment, Draco couldn't help it: he burst out into laughter, loving this awful side of her when it wasn't entirely at his expense. While she had acted hostile towards him before and it was unfavorable, somehow, this time it was laughable. Maybe he just couldn't take her ridiculous comments seriously anymore. "No, but I was hoping that you might be able to save me from meetings. I'm sure that you want to get out of a few, yourself."

	He was clearly drunk, that much was obvious. "I would never skip a meeting," she told him as she looked him up and down, wondering who this Malfoy was and why he was being almost nice. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Of course you wouldn't. You're too good for that, aren't you?" he asked, raising his eyebrows. She was way too good for that. Hermione Granger would never skip a meeting, simply because she was afraid of breaking the rules. Just once, Draco wanted to see her break a rule - just to see if the earth would collapse.

	"It's not about being too good," Hermione explained, "it's about doing good. The house-elves aren't going to free themselves." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	Draco smirked again at her mention of house-elves. Oh, she was so predictable. "And how, might I ask, will that do any good at all? Enlighten me." (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Oh, you're just useless!" She faced forward again in the lift and crossed her arms over her body. He was infuriating, in a different way than Ron, but it got her just as angry and riled. It annoyed her most that someone like Malfoy could get her emotions running. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"It's a valid question! Why won't you answer it?" he asked, crossing his arms in satisfaction. He liked to see her all riled up. He didn't quite know why, but seeing her all bothered by something he said to her made him feel successful. He'd managed to get under her skin, once again. (Reply to this)(Parent)(Thread)

	"Because you don't actually care." Hermione tightened her crossed arms and started to tap her foot with impatience at the slow lift. Wasn't this thing magic?! (Reply to this)(Parent)
