The feast was like every year, if not a little more lively than the other years, after all, Voldemort was gone and most of his followers are in Azkaban. Even if a lot of them changed sides during the war like the Malfoys, a lot of them were still faithful to the Dark Lord.
During the meal, Minerva McGonnagall made a speech about harmony and how everybody should be forgiving and respect the persons who changed sides during the war.
-So, do you think we will be able to relax again? said Harry
-I hope so! Do you think so, Hermione? said Ron, placing an arm around her shoulders to pull her into a hug.
Then, the whole hall went silent. the trio turned to see what was happening. Draco Malfoy had gotten up his seat and was wearing a murderous look on his face. His hand slammed against the table making the structure move.
-GET YOUR HANDS OFF HER! cried Malfoy
Ron was stunned, he replied
-I have a right to do so, I am her boyfriend!
Malfoy seemed more mad than before. He passed on the tables to reach the red haired boy. When in front of Ron, he detached him from Hermione and pulled his hand in a fist.
-Whoa! Malfoy what do you think you are doing? shrieked Hermione. Let him go immediatly.
Draco turned to Hermione, looking at her straight in the eye. There was something in his stare, Hermione couldn't really pinpoint what it was. During that time, Ron had taken a back step and punched Malfoy straight in the face, leaving him with a bleeding nose. That triggered Draco's rage. He took his first punch at Ron and the fight began.
Sverus Snape watched the scene most carefully. It was obvious that Draco had developped something for the muggleborn. But before the situation got out of hand, he threw an immobilisation hex at the griffindor and the slytherin. He then levitated the two of them out of the Great hall.
