 The only waver in his endeavour to make Hermione question her decision came with the release of Ron Weasley from the hospital wing. Draco first saw him at dinner. As usual, he glanced over the Gryffindor table as soon as he entered the Great Hall, expecting to see Granger and Potter sitting together, but this time, there was an addition to their party. A couple of additions, actually, as people huddled around Weasley to get his recount of the events leading to his poisoning. Draco’s hands balled into fists when he saw how close Granger was sitting to him and, to his utter shock, that her hand was lying on top of Weasley’s on the table.
