So he was right, Malfoy would likely be there. But why couldn’t he simply ignore him, the same way she did? He never interacted with anyone other than Harry, often spending long stretches of time in complete silence. One could simply pretend that he wasn’t there if they tried hard enough. And didn’t actually look at him, because he may have been a complete asshole but well, she wasn’t blind. He simply got better looking with every year that passed.
