SUMMARY:Hermione/Draco. Five years have passed since the Battle of Hogwarts, and Hermione is somehow adrift in the world. Which is when Malfoy turns up. This is very quiet fic, perhaps a bit melancholic.
EXCERPT:
They sat in silence, watching a handful of pigeons wandering around the tables and in search of dropped crumbs. The girl brought the coffee. Malfoy helped himself to the rest of Hermione's sugar, stirred it in, and then took a mouthful. He pulled a face, "Good God and you drink here voluntarily?"
Hermione shrugged. "It's cheap."
"Yes," he agreed darkly. "And there's a good reason why. Now I understand the need for the sugar."
