Hermione sees Draco Malfoy looking at her. Her heart, without her realizing, thumps with joy. He had ignored her for so many months, how come he changed his mind today?

She smiles back at him, her face glowing."Did you just smile at Malfoy?" Ron asks, looking very puzzled.
Hermione instantly straightens her face.
"Did not," she mumbles, chewing her food.
"Did!" Harry whispers to Ron, and they both laugh.
Hermione glares at them.
"Wait, you don't actually -?" Ron says.
"Actually what?" Hermione snaps at Ron.
"You don't actually fancy him, do you?" Ron asks, looking into her eyes.
She remains quiet for a moment. Then she snaps,
"That's totally codswallop! I couldn't possibly fancy a boy like Draco Malfoy! He's far too...." Hermione pauses.
"Far too what?" Harry pushes.
She thinks of a word. Far too what?
Pushy? Snobby? Rich? Tormenting?

"Slow down, it's Ron who should be eating like this! Since he eats like a pig!" Harry says, mocking Ron's eating habits.
Ron frowns at Harry.
"Not funny!" He says, shoving Harry.
