Hermione smiled and tried not to feel bashful. It was nice to hear from someone so distinguished as Narcissa. However, she was now sure that what she was saying had at least a double meaning. She thought Narcissa was sincere but...what else was she trying to say? "Thank you," she replied. Shrugging again, Hermione tried to think of what she should say. "It was a bit difficult finding boys to date," she confessed cryptically.
Oblivious to the show she was putting on, Hermione noticed Narcissa was awfully quiet when she came back out. Did she not like it? Her heart sank at the thought. Though, when Madame Malkin gushed, Hermione blushed.
"What...do you think?" she asked Narcissa tentatively. Grabbing the side hems, she shifted a little from side to side to make the bottom hem swish and to burn off some anxiety as she waited for a reply.
