"Are Ron and Hermione snogging?!"
Theo shrugged, "Slughorn likes mistletoe?"
"But, are they dating?"
"...I'm not very current on Gryfindor gossip."
When she didn't laugh Theo straightened up, eyes narrowing. "Another deviation?" A nod. Theo cursed, "how bad?"
"I don't know...it might not matter?"
The sound of retreating footsteps caused her to whip around, a flash of blond catching her eye.
"Shit."
"What?"
"Malfoy just left Slughorn's party."
"Was he invited?
"No."
"So, another-"
She shook her head, then paused. "Well, he was meant to crash, but...I think he was spying on me."
"...shit."
