That morning he chanced a glance towards the Gryffindor table. Granger was chatting amicably with the Weasley girl, but he could tell there was tension in the conversation by the way of Granger's shoulders. The Weasley girl shut down the conversation and Granger was left to look at her food. Draco kept staring at her, and when he quickly stroked his ring, she looked up and their eyes met for the briefest of moments before they had to look away again so as not to raise suspicion about their relationship - or whatever they called it. But he noticed the small smile that graced her lips before she looked away. It gave Draco a strange feeling bubbling in his chest that he had never had before.
