"Oh...Merlin, Ginny! Don't –" Hermione began to huff, defending Malfoy automatically – and then embarrassment swept up over her at the knowing look Ginny gave her; all raised eyebrow and silent smugness. The younger witch's look managed to poignantly communicate that she had seen the almost-kiss, and had recognised it for what it was. Hermione stumbled over her words, flustered. "Let's not encourage a continuation of the feud," she said weakly, and Ginny gave a smirk worthy of Malfoy – who had just finished wiping his eye with a hanky, and stood there awkwardly, cheeks faintly pink, seeming to be avoiding looking in Hermione's direction.
