Miss Nichols and Mr. Potter were spotted in conversation near Hogsmeade on Saturday.  A source close to the two has disclosed that they were discussing Mr. Potter’s evident support of Miss Nichols and the younger Mr. Malfoy’s relationship.  Mr. Potter went so far as to say he’d "never seen him [Malfoy] look at anyone the way he looks at you."  (It was also noted that Ronald Wealsey, the other third to the Golden Trio, has yet to accept the budding relationship.)
