  Harry didn't know if Marcus heard him or not but that didn't matter. He watched as Maya and Lauren did their pregame handshake. Malfoy was busy gloating to Parkinson, Crabbe, Goyle and Nott. Well that was new, it seemed the boy had gained Malfoy's favour, or maybe Nott's father gained Malfoy Sr's favour, that seemed more likely. The other players were just faces to Harry that he didn't care much about and didn't matter all that much.
