"Harry, what on earth is going on?" Ron asked.
They were hiding in some bushes, watching as Hermione and Malfoy walked arm in arm. Hermione looked genuinely happy for the first time all year.
"I have no idea," replied Harry.
"Do you think this has anything to do with how much better she seems today?" asked Neville, who was there with them.
"It could..." said Ron.
Harry started, "Ron, do you think they-?"
"Of course not. It's Draco Malfoy," he said. "Hermione will have a good explanation."
"I sure hope so," said Neville.

The three watched as Hermione and Malfoy walked farther along the Lake. After a while, Malfoy stopped and Hermione turned to face him. Malfoy said something and a huge smile went across Hermione's face. She wrapped her arms around him, and embraced him in a hug. Malfoy hugged her back.
"What is that all about?!" exclaimed Ron.
Harry just shrugged and shook his head.
Hermione and Malfoy released each other and linked arms again. They turned and walked back toward the school.
