Harry felt Hermione let go of him as he walked forward until he was less than an arm’s length away from Malfoy. By now, his growth spurt meant that he towered over Malfoy, and even had a few inches over Crabbe and Goyle now. But they were big because of fat, while Harry was over six feet of thick, lean muscle. Malfoy still didn’t seem to grasp the situation at hand, because he added- "Oh? You didn’t like that, did you? I can’t blame you- you do have an awful lack of female figures to surround yourself with."
