Over the next few weeks, Draco ensured he was regularly seen with Astoria, Hermione always in tow. Sometimes Daphne joined them, rather than Narcissa. Hermione could see the interactions wearing on Draco, especially as Astoria got more touchy with him over time. Sometimes, he would be distant for a while when they returned, and at other times he would lead her up to their room and keep her there for hours.
