Encounter with Draco Malfoy in the Woods

PAGES: 121-123

As Harry, Ron, and Hermione flee into the woods, they encounter Draco Malfoy, who mockingly warns Hermione that she could be targeted because she is Muggle-born. Malfoy suggests that his parents might be involved in the attack, hinting at Lucius Malfoy's affiliation with the Death Eaters. Tensions rise, but Hermione restrains Ron before the trio moves on.
