Made for Harry Potter audiobook lovers, this chapter follows Hermione Granger through a day of sharp longing, sharper intellect, and a choice that puts consent at the center. A chance to study with the Patil twins, an unexpected letter from Draco Malfoy that includes timetables and safe meeting spots, and a private library negotiation become the groundwork for a slow burn that values boundaries as much as chemistry. When Hermione meets Draco among the stacks, their agreement is simple and firm. He tests whether she can refuse him, she proves that she can, and together they draw a line that turns want into trust.
