Harry, remembering what Narcissa had told him about the traditional ties between the Potter, Goyle and Parkinson families, decided to get to know the two of them; especially since it seemed that Hermione had chosen Pansy as her pet. He was rather surprised at how well his girlfriend took to the idea of a pet; but like any new idea; she was fascinated with it. . He had expected to have a major argument on his hands to convince her. However, it seems as though she has picked up some of his pragmatism over the past year or so. And, as far as Harry was concerned; If it's necessary to have a pet or two to achieve his goals, having another girl around for variety is not a bad thing, especially since Hermione enjoys the girls as well. Why complain? He also, once Hermione pointed it out to him, noticed Cho watching him at times when she thought he didn't notice. Harry helped Hermione as much as he could in searching for information about the rules and history of pets in the Library; which wasn't much. In fact, she was getting frustrated by how little she could find out. Finally; he suggested she make it a point to ask Narcissa about it since she was the one who raise the subject originally. Hermione brightened, and proceeded to pull out a piece of parchment, and start writing down questions to ask her. Harry shook his head, smiling in amusement at his girlfriend.
