Ahhhh :) Pub quiz night with a Malfoy/Granger team?! Perfection! It was interesting to watch Draco interacting with Ron and Harry as an actual friend, and fun to see your characterizations of everyone. :) They felt like real people, full of strengths and weaknesses. So satisfying!

And those kisses outside the pub - oo la la. :-D

I'm amazed how you managed to fill the prompt, showing us a really believable guy-friendship between Draco, Harry and Ron, with all the obsessive gaming and the passing out in front of the TV(!), and then sneaked the attraction between Draco and Hermione, and brought them together in a pub quiz! Perfect.

I also loved the first section, with poor Draco's dislocated shoulder, and the way you poked fun at Drarry business :-)

I loved the friendship between the three guys--it was just so doggone comfortable and well, guy-like. Totally enjoyable to watch the Granger-Malfoy give and take as well. The whole story has such a real-life feel to it. I laughed out loud at that moment between Ron and Draco in which Draco wasn't sure what to say, so he just hummed. :)

I... don't know how to feel about how friendly Draco, Harry and Ron are in this fic. While I can imagine Draco and Harry as great friends, Draco and Ron still seems weird somehow. Despite that, I love how you executed it rather well, with Draco's blunt and almost(?) insulting comments to Ron's honesty. Also, I like that, even though they're supposedly friends, when it comes to defending Hermione, Draco doesn't hesitate to take Ron on for his callous treatment of her.

And that last part:
Gently, he pried apart her fingers and kept hold of them. “Feel free to cause all the trouble you want.”

She laughed. “That’s a terrible line, Draco.”

He dipped his head and nuzzled her cheek. “Ah, but did it work?”

He delighted in the hitch of her breath. “More than it should.”

Squeals~! Oh fluff~! <3 Haha!

Thank you so much for sharing~!

Awesome job! I have to admit, this was my favorite line: "Draco glared at the Medi-Witch. “My arm doesn’t bend that way!”" And, IDK why I liked that so much since there were funnier ones ☺ Also, the Harry, Ron, and Draco friendship was AWESOME!
