When we're somewhere safe like the Hidden Room or your Auntie Walburga's museum, you look at her a little more intently than you look at anyone else. And you have this tendency to touch your hair. When you're talking to her, I mean. Patting it into place and combing your fingers through.
Girls will do that on purpose to flirt, sometimes. Play with their hair while they're talking to a boy they like. I don't know if boys actually notice that or not. (It usually goes along with stuff like giggling and making eye contact and then looking down and then looking back, and standing a little closer than people do normally. Obviously you don't do any of THAT.)
Look, I'm serious when I say no one else would ever notice any of this. I've spent years and years watching people in the Slytherin common room so I know whose way to stay out of and all the rest. Most people don't bother. I mean, watch out for Megan Jones, but she's unlikely to ever see you and Hermione chatting in the Hidden Room. You know? (Also, she watches people really closely same as I do and for the same reasons but I think she puts less of it together.)
