"What’s the matter, Granger?" Draco sounded tired but normal, and a happy feeling kindled in Hermione’s stomach as he looked up at her. She wondered why she had avoided him for so long. If she had known they could avoid all the awkwardness around The Kiss with just a look and a sigh she might not have avoided him at all. And yet, as she sat on the bed next to him, she felt kind of glad she did. Without her avoidance, she would never have gotten so involved in the war.
