"Do you want to move a little closer?" "I thought you'd never ask." The two sweethearts didn't notice Malfoy's approach, nor the snowball that stopped at the top of its arc, a couple of yards from them. They also didn't notice his flight through the air, or his hasty retreat from the legendary poltergeists. And they certainly didn't notice their invisible guardian leaving the clearing as silently as he had arrived. If they noticed that Harry was in a foul mood that evening, then they assumed it was just because he had been left alone in the Castle all day.
