"You got your hair done," Malfoy said from out of nowhere halfway through the meal, and Hermione choked on a mouthful of mashed potato. She covered her mouth and wheezed and coughed, glancing over at him with watering eyes as he took his seat and gave her a mildly concerned look. "Sorry, did I startle you?" he asked faux-innocently, and she wheezed furiously at him, grasping half-blinded for her glass of pumpkin juice as the worst of the coughing passed. Tears streaked her cheeks and she had no doubt she looked red-faced and horrid, and when Malfoy thumped her on the back several times – trying to be helpful no doubt – she flailed him off and glared pointedly.
