She had a flutter of feelings when Harry said he had been talking with Ron. As his sort-of girlfriend, Hermione felt like she should be more attentive to hm and his going-ons back home. It was hard to remember he wasn't around. In class, she was busy with notes ans if she wasn't doing homework, she was helping Luna or other students. She had a lot on her plate but she knew she couldn't keep Ron out of the loop for much longer. Part of her wondered if he could come and visit them at some point. That wouldn't be a big hassle for the school and the Ministry would it?

"It was Ron's choice to not finish school, it's a disappointing decision but just because he isn't here, doesn't mean we shouldn't talk about what's going with us. What else are we going to talk about?" She pointed out. "I get what you're saying though. It's hard without him." She sighed. "And school was the biggest thing we had in common, with him at home and us here, it's hard to keep our bond as strong as it was in say, our third year." She almost mentioned their fourth but that had been a rough year. When Harry asked how she and said redhead were, she swallowed what was in her mouth and glanced off, not sure what to tell her best friend. It felt weird, the three of them were so close, part of Hermione felt like she somehow betrayed Harry when she and Ron sort of hooked up out of nowhere.

Never did she intend to make Harry uncomfortable or feel bad. "Oh um we're alright...I mean..." She was unconvincing and she knew it. "I mean not really." She corrected herself as she poured some more pumpkin juice into her cup. "I think since everything has settled, it's been hard to figure out how we feel about each other." When Ron left, Hermione took it personally. Sure, maybe his words were fueled by the horcrux but he still left and it hurt her as it had Harry. "So it's hard, being here without him and...not feeling as sad as maybe I should be."

Coming from a wealthy family, Draco never had to do fundraising before. It was a very strange and unfamiliar concept for him to grasp. He hoped his confusion didn't show too much as Luna began to suggest ways to come up with a little funding. He tried not to take it too personally when she didn't take him up on his offer. If she had, he'd find a way to contribute, despite his own funds not being as hefty as they normally would be. He was on his own and making due, change wasn't an easy thing to adjust to, not for the blond anyway.

"Sure sure." Draco replied. "We can try to do local networking, I'm sure we can make a deal happen fairly quickly." He replied. For a moment, he had thought she would have suggested something silly like selling baked goods or something. That was what came to mind when someone mentioned fundraising. That's what he had been told happened at those sort of things. Of course it was something his father told him as a joke, which he heard from some muggle while at the Ministry a long time ago. The blond checked the time in the library. It seemed that supper was about half way over, he wondered why Luna wouldn't be off eating with her friends.

Or doing whatever it was she did. Throughout his time at Hogwarts, he wasn't around her very often so he had no idea what she did. What her habits were or who she hung out with. From what he gathered though, she wasn't very popular and didn't have a group of people like Potter had. She was a nice girl, odd, but nice. "I can write some letters and send them out tonight if you'd like." He told her. "Maybe once we have the final product, you could give copies to those who have donated or agreed to make a deal with us, if things go well, we could sell them to the public in the area to sort of keep profit going and help do something for the students..." He suggested with a shrug as he began to pack up. "I might sneak down and get a snack before dinner is over, you want to come?"
