DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN HARRY POTTER.

A/N: Sorry if it takes too long for the updates. I'm busy with my muggle life. (LOL). This is a short one but later after I post this, I will post Chapter Three. Okay? Enjoy!


Chapter Two

Everyone still can't believe that Luna Lovegood is dating Draco Malfoy. They can see how smitten Luna is towards the blonde wizard. They also notice that Draco is holding Luna as if someone will snatch her out of nowhere. They are now currently sitting on one of the tables on the side. Draco says facing Luna as she ate some pudding.

"I really think that attending with me is a bad idea." Draco said, caressing her back. Luna looked at him and took a spoonful of pudding. "Says who?"

"These people!" gesturing around him, "They are staring at you like you're a loony bint!" Draco hissed.

Luna shrugged and takes another spoonful of pudding. "I am a loony bint."

Draco frown at his girlfriend "No, you're not." He sighed. "I should have just stayed at home." Draco brushes his hair back. Luna places her spoon down and faces him.

"Whatever they think about us doesn't matter, Draco. I brought you here so you can see your old housemates and celebrate with us. I brought you here so I can show them what I saw in you. You're not the same boy back them, sweetheart." Luna touches his face. "You are now Draco Malfoy, a respectable businessman and the love of my life. What matters most is your opinion of yourself being here with me. Do you oppose to that?" Luna asked, smiling at him lovingly.

Draco took her hands and kisses each back of her palm. "I'm happy to be with you here. I'm sorry if I think negatively."

Luna pinches his cheek. "You're a silly sometimes, Draco. Never think of that okay? Or else, I'll send you a murtlap."

He lets go of her hand "Don't joke about murtlap, will you? I still can't believe you let one in our place" he whined and pouts. Luna chuckled and took her spoon again. She scoops as a spoonful of pudding and offers it to him. Draco scoots his chair near her and has some pudding.

Meanwhile, Harry, Ginny, and Hermione can't believe on what they are seeing. Draco Malfoy adores Luna Lovegood like a person who is under Amortentia. He is very different to the Draco Malfoy when they were in Hogwarts.

"Tell me that this is a nightmare!" Ginny said.

"No. It's really happening. Luna Lovegood and Draco Malfoy are dating." Harry stated.

Hermione snorted "Huh. Who would have thought that they will end up dating?"

Harry faced Hermione "Don't you think she has Stockholm syndrome? Luna was captured by the snatcher and she was imprisoned in the dungeon of Malfoy Manor"

Ginny's eyes widen and shake her husband's arm. "Oh, Merlin. She is!"

"I don't think so." Hermione said "He looks more smitten than her. Look!"

Harry and Ginny look at Draco and Luna's direction. Draco is tucking some strands of Luna's hair behind her ear. He even smiles at her.

'Damn, he looks so handsome when he smiles' Hermione thought.

"Oh shit!" Harry said as he looks at the entrance of the hall. Hermione and Ginny follow his gaze and land on Ron and Astoria entering the hall, holding each other's hand. Hermione hissed and Ginny rubbed her arm.

"They are coming this way." Harry said. Hermione immediately walks away. She didn't know where to go so she went to Luna and Draco's table and sat on the other side of Luna. The couple looks at her.

"We're glad you join us, Hermione" said Luna. Hermione smiled awkwardly. Draco looks back at Harry and Ginny and saw them talking to Astoria and Ron. Draco smirks.

"I see that you're avoiding the weasel bee" Draco indicated. Hermione sighs "I don't want to deal with them." Luna touches her hand "It's okay Mione, you can stay with us as long as you want."

"Yes. And by doing that, you should also bear with our other company." Draco said.

"Other company? Who?" said Hermione.

Just then, someone sat beside Hermione. She stares at that person and saw Blaise Zabini. Behind him are Theodore Nott and Pansy Parkinson. She stiffens.

"I apologize if my good looks shock you. " Blaise said casually and winks at her.

"Uhh… Hi Zabini, Nott, Parkinson" she murmured.

Pansy laughs "Oh Salazar, I think we scare the Gryffindor Princess!"

"Hello Granger, you look great" said Theo. Hermione blushes all of a sudden. Draco, Pansy, and Blaise laugh, Luna just smiles and Theo look amused.

"Isn't she adorable?" Blaise said as he keeps on staring at her.

"Blaise, be a gentleman and stop staring at Mione" Luna said. Blaise raised his hand like he is surrendering. "Fine, fine. Sorry about that, Mione." he said. Pansy and Theo sat with them. Food magically appeared on their table. Pansy stared at Hermione's dress.

"Is that Versace?" she asked. Hermione looks down to her dress then back at Pansy "Yes."

"Uggh! Love their dresses. The spring collection, right?"

Hermione just nods her head.

"So, Hermione, wait… Can I call you that?" Theo said. Hermione shrugged "Sure."

"Great! So, Hermione, what do you do nowadays?"

"I'm working at the Ministry as Executive Secretary of the Minister" she answered. The Slytherin gang all look impressed.

"Future Minister?" asked Pansy. Hermione looks at her and sat properly. "Maybe"

Blaise placed his arm on the top rail of Hermione's seat "Then you need a man who looks good to stand beside you as a minister" He winks again at Hermione. Hermione giggles. They continue to talk about their lives.

On the other side of the Great Hall, Ron is shooting glares at Hermione and Luna. He can't believe Hermione and Luna are hanging out with Theodore Nott, Blaise Zabini, Pansy Parkinson, and Draco Malfoy.

"Ron… Honey, your sister is saying something." Astoria told her husband. Ron looked at his wife then his sister. Harry and Ginny looked fine.

"Hermione and Luna are hanging out with the snakes" Ron pointed out. Astoria coughed and look sternly at her husband. Ron just ignored her.

"Oh, that? You should get used to that because Luna is dating Draco Malfoy." said Ginny.

Ron gaped. "What?!"

"They've been dating for five years, mate." Harry shared. Ron looked back to the group. Draco's arm was on Luna's shoulder and she is leaning closer to the blonde man. "Didn't you check if she's under Amortentia?"

"Malfoy is more smitten than her. You think Luna used love potion of him?" Ginny asked. Ron hissed and looked back to the group. This time, Hermione is laughing towards Blaise as Pansy smacks his head.

"And Mione? Is she dating Zabini?" Ron asked. Astoria holds on her husband hand to calm him.

Ginny hold on Harry's hand tightly. "No. Luna invited her to join them a while ago. Right, Harry?" Her husband just nods his head.

"I can't believe they betray us like this!" Ron jeered.

"Hi pot, meet kettle." Ginny said sarcastically. "You betrayed Hermione first." She looked at her sister-in-law "No offense meant, Tori" she said. Astoria just smiled sadly at her.

"She doesn't want marriage. She just wants to work. She even didn't ask me not to leave her!"

"She wasn't ready, Ron. She's a strong independent woman who believes in equality. She wants to have a stable career before she marries you. But you want her to be a housewife. And you didn't support her. You can't put all the blame on her." Harry defended his best friend.

"So, this is my fault now?" Ron hissed at Harry.

"You both have something to blame on. But she already moves forward to it. You did, too. Aren't you married now?" Harry gestured toward Astoria. "Look, if she wants to be friends with them, to Ravenclaws, Hufflepuffs, or even Voldemort himself, she can. Because she's Hermione Granger, the brightest witch of her age. She isn't stupid to know who's good for her or not."

Ron was about to speak but Astoria squeezes his arm. He also sees that his sister is glaring furiously at him. Ron stood up and helped Astoria up. "Come on, Tori. I will introduce you to some of my friends." Ron said as he leads his wife to the group of Gryffindor on the other side of the hall. Harry and Ginny huffed simultaneously.
