He and Cho walked to dinner together, and separated only when they entered the hall. For the first time, Harry was unsurprised by the group that were sat enjoying dinner together at the table. Ever since Sunday dinner, the same group had gathered on the Gryffindor table to share their meals. This evening, a nervous Blaise was wedged between the Weasley twins, while Ginny ignored him, and instead enjoyed a game of exploding snap with Hermione. Once again, Luna was braiding Pansy’s hair, while Pansy and Ron were engaged in a mildly heated debate. Draco, meanwhile, was looking around the hall anxiously. When he spotted Harry’s approach, he immediately relaxed and beckoned him closer, a space saved at his side for Harry.
