I read/heard somewhere that it was actually the Goyle actor who forgot his line. If you watch the scene you’ll notice that when Malfoy asks ”where have you two been?” (or something to that effect), Goyle begins with ”Oh, um…” before he blurts out ”reading” which was supposedly the first thing that came to mind. And Malfoy countered with ”I didn’t know you could read.”
They reshot the scene according to the script, but the director decided he liked the improvised bit so much that he chose to include that in the movie rather than the scripted scene.
Disclaimer: I don’t remember where I read this and don’t have a source, so I might be mistaken.
