"You're in love with Malfoy?" Ron yelped in surprise. Again, heads turned to stare at them and Harry's vibrant blush was proof enough for the rumor mill.
"I knew it!" Lavender exclaimed loudly. "Didn't you read that Drarry article in the Harry Potter fan club newspaper?"
Harry's protests were ignored as Hogwarts students compared smut stories.
