Hermione blushed a little as Narcissa laughed at her episode of unguarded relationship babble born of her great frustration from dating one Ronald Weasley. "Like I said, he is a great guy he is just...a bad boyfriend for me," she clarified, not wanting Ron to be made out as a total wanker, even if Hermione thought that of him sometimes.
Narcissa's half-muttered comment made Hermione cock her eyebrow at the older, very distinguished witch. Why had she said that? Did she want to see Hermione embarrassed? Would it be a good spectacle? Something to gossip about? She paused to consider. "I'm sorry?" she asked as if she hadn't heard Narcissa and wanted her to repeat it.
The next comment was even more cryptic. "Oh really? I would think that those people would still be considered quite important in wizarding society," Hermione mused, fishing for more from Narcissa.
