Chapter Ten
Harry laid down on his bed thinking about what had just happened. He kind of avenged Hermione, but his action cost him a lot of free time.
He was thinking of skipping dinner, to avoid seeing his friend, whom he knew would most likely be appalled and horrified at what he had done to Cormac. But in the end, Harry made his decision to just go.
Eventually he got to the Great Hall and saw her. Harry sat as far away from Hermione as possible. While he was trying to avoid her, Hermione herself was worried sick and did not have an appetite for the feast.
"You haven't seen Harry, have you?" said Hermione.
"Nope. Sorry Hermione." responded Neville.
As he turned back to his plate, out of the corner of his eye, Neville saw Harry exiting the hall.
"Hey Hermione, about Harry's whereabouts," Neville turned his head to the doors.
Hermione quickly got out of her seat, and raced outside the hall.
"Harry!"
He turned around. For a brief moment, there was only silence.
"Oi! Potter!"
They both looked and saw Draco Malfoy leaning against a pillar.
"What do you want, Malfoy?" said Harry.
"Heard about your little dispute with McLaggen. I must say, that was pretty Slytherin of you."
"Well then maybe I should be in Slytherin, Malfoy!"
Harry went upstairs with Hermione behind him, leaving Malfoy standing there with a surprised look on his face.
