When Draco starts mouthing over his ear, Harry's resolve melts like snow, and he flees with the excuse to buy them another round of drinks. Catching on, Draco doesn't give him the satisfaction of a sneaky escape, and trails after him towards the seating area, planting herself down in an empty booth while Harry trudges on to the bar. He gets them a bottle of Mad-Eye cider and another Butterbeer for Draco to try. He returns to the booth after a few minutes to find her turned around on her knees and leaning over the backrest, engaged in conversation with the couple in the next booth. She's listening raptly to a person with short curly hair, draped in a colourful crochet vest. She looks up when Harry approaches, accepting the bottle when he offers it.
