Pansy and Lucio were outside, playing. They'd had a pleasant breakfast, with Pansy sitting between them rather than waiting on them, as was required when Draco was home. Hermione had suggested they take a picnic, and Lucio had immediately jumped onto the idea, taking his broomstick along with him. Hermione would have loved to go along with them had Martin not arrived shortly after, and though she liked his company, wished she could take a break from the painting, but didn't dare, knowing what Draco's opinion on that would be.
