CHAPTER 6: Harry & Hermione dialogue

"Hey, Hermione, just out of curiosity, what did Malfoy do to fast-forward that break up?"

"He sent Ron some photos..."

"The naked you?"

"Do you think he'd still be alive if that were true?"

"..."

"Just me sleeping his bed in his shirt with messed up hair. And before you start thinking something stupid, I was conscious enough to dress myself. I used Veritaserum on him, so he couldn't lie about it."

"Oh, I see. And I heard something about an anonymous note or something?"

"Well, yeah, but it was more like not-so-anonymous..."

"Which means...?"

"God, Harry, you're persistent, do you really want to know that much?"

"Yes."

"Fine, whatever. He wrote there something along the lines of 'Guess why she is so exhausted? Send your answer to the Malfoy Manor. The first one to guess correctly will win a break up for free.' Damn embarrassing. And stop laughing."

"I don't think it's embarrassing; on the contrary, I think it's hilarious."

"That's because you have nothing to do with it."

"If I knew Malfoy had such a good sense of humour I'd start negotiating with him sooner..."

"Nego... Just what is that friendship of yours based on?"

"Business."
