Unexpected

Pansy and Draco had been spending so much time with Harry and hermione that it was more uncommon to see the two snakes without their lions. While everyone else seemed to think this new change was weird or slightly off putting, Hermione and Harry clutched onto their two new friends like they were life lines. Which essentially they are, Pansy had seemingly been drawn to harry and took to sitting next to him in class leaving Draco to sit next to Hermione, not that he was complaining.
Hermione was a smart girl, she was full of wit and had a sharp tongue. She just currently needed someone to remind her that she was more than just the girl created by a war. With that being said the two Gryffindors found themselves insisting that their snakes take a day to themselves. While the southern were hesitant they eventually conceded it stayed close enough that they were around shud the other two need them.
“Harry.” Hermione said from her spot on the floor. “Yes?”
“Do you think we should stop relying on Draco and pansy so much.”
“I think if we tried to stop relying on them we’d go back to the shells of people we were. “
“maybe we could offer them something in exchange?”
“Well id offer we can cook for them or bake them something.” He paused “But they took away nothing sharp from our kitchen.”
“Sorry about that.”
“I’d rather you be safe than have things to cook with.”
He just smiled at him, “well what could we do?”
“Hogsmeade?we could take them to lunch.” Just as she was going to nod there was a knock at the door. When Hermione opened it Draco and pansy. We’re standing there, “what happened to taking a day for yourself?”
“We have a better time spending time with you guys.” Pansy shrugged as she walked into the room. Harry perked up at the sight of pansy and made room for her on the couch. The four of them had picks upon habits in the weeks they’d spent together, pansy and harry had fallen into routines, they went on walks and she sat with him and he would tell her jokes and she would smile and eventually harry had asked an elf to specially make her some sweets that he gave to her every Friday.
This led Hermione and Draco to pick up some routines themselves. When she felt anxious or overwhelmed she would hold onto him and he had the habit of playing with her hair as a way to help her fall asleep. In turn she would hold his hand and find at least some way to keep physical contact with him. He didn’t mind. So while Pansy had sat next to Harry on the couch, Hermione had latched her hand onto Draco’s arm and walked with him into hers and Harry’s dorm. When he and Hermione had sat down he pulled her legs on top of his in order to help her keep the contact. “so,” harry started “ Hermione and i want to. Take you two out to dinner. On the next Hogsmeade weekend.”
“We wanted to thank you both and let you know that we’re here for you two as well.” Hermione added.
“As much as you don’t need to thank us wells to go to Hogsmeade with you.’” Draco said as he wrapped one of Hermione’s curl around his fingers and released them to watch them bounce back.
