Hermione's POV:
Harry was still visibly upset, so I decided to think of a subject to distract him.
"How'd the meeting with McGonagall on educational proportions go ?" He was obsessed with the subject, surely it would distract him, even for a little while.
It didn't work.
Soon a waiter came. The Slytherin's all chose either steak or burgers, a clear favourite, Ron got a club sandwich and Neville and I got fish and chips. The only person who didn't order was Harry.
"Harry ? Do you want to order now ?" I asked, knowing he would need encouragement.
"Nah... I'm fine," he concluded, with a finalising tone I chose not to argue against.
Then he asked for a non-alcoholic beer. This was like him, to avoid food with beer.
It was silent, until I asked wether we could address the Slytherin's with their first names. And vice-versa. It was all friendly and Harry started to smile again. Draco made a silly joke that was not very funny to me, contrary to the boys thought on it, and Harry was laughing again. It was good to see him happy, he deserved that much.
The food came and we ate, Harry obviously drank his beer.
