Again, please review! It would mean so much to me! I'm not going to be like other authors giving you long author's notes but reviews keeps us going!

"Blaise!" She squealed as she felt his strong arms wrap around her petite waist. "What are you doing here? I thought you were in America with Draco!" Everyone's jaw dropped at their interaction.

"You know I can't miss my best friend's wife's birthday and their anniversary and dump her with her annoying relatives." Blaise said as he caressed her cheek. Then he frowned. "That was a mouthful. Where is he by the way."

"Blaise mate, you know Draco won't appreciate that." Harry said, chuckling.

Artemisia, Elena, and Lisa walked up to Blaise, swaying their hips and licking their lips.

"Hey handsome, care to join me in my room tonight?" Elena said "seductively".

"Or would you rather prefer me instead?" Artemisia said, thrusting out her chest for Blaise to see. Harry and Ron made gagging noises.

Lisa chose to make her move on Harry. "People rarely find themselves in the presence of me, darling." She said, running her hand up and down Harry's body, tracing his six pack that he got from Auror training, but she doesn't need to know that.

"Of course Lisa, they wouldn't dare go near you even if you were the last person on Earth. The only way you'll ever get laid is if you crawl up a chicken's ass and wait." Hermione commented.

"Why don't we all go inside." Jenna Granger said, proud her daughter could stand up to those annoying nieces of hers.

They walked inside to find the walls covered in marble, the glass dome letting in the sunlight to reflect on the huge ice-like crystal chandelier hanging from the tip of the dome. Attendants rushed around, males dressed in Italian suits and girls a white blouse and a black pencil skirt.

Everyone stared at Hermione as she walked in. "Mrs. Ma-" a secretary quickly corrected herself under the furious gaze of Hermione Malfoy née Granger, unaware that her relatives have not yet been informed of her marriage. "Mrs. Granger, you have some papers in your office. Shall I have it sent up into your usual penthouse?"

"Yes, of course." Hermione replied in her no-nonsense, I'm at work voice, ignoring the gaping faces of her relatives. "It looks like your face caught fire and someone tried to put it out with a hammer, so shut it." Hermione said, irritated as she turned to her relatives.

"We've got a Sapphire suite, so we'll be leaving now." Her Aunt Lucia said, annoyed that her bookworm, plain niece could beat her in money. (the suit is from worst to best like this Bronze, Silver, Gold, Rose, Pearl, Crystal, Ruby, Jade, Aquamarine, Emerald, Sapphire, Diamond, Elite, and VIP. A lot, I know)

"Probably all of your life savings," Clémence said, trying to make herself feel better. "Or you bribed Blaise Zabini who owns, like, ½ the hotels in London by being a slut." She said, her mood improving.

"Why is it acceptable for you to be an idiot but not for me to point it out? You know I don't do slutty Clémence!" Hermione commented dryly.

"Scientists say the universe is made up of neutrons, protons and electrons. They forgot to mention morons." Ron said out of nowhere. Hermione and Harry were impressed. Everyone turned to see Clémence gaping like a fish out of water.

"Alright everyone! Meet down in the L'Abeille for dinner. If you can't find it, then too bad! Buh-bye!" Aunt Adelicia said, finishing off by sauntering off with Artemisia, which earned an eye roll from the Hogwarts group.

"Blimey! That woman is worse than Aunt Petunia!" Harry remarked, earning a smack from Ginny, who had appeared out of nowhere.

"Watch your language Harry!" Ginny said.

"Bloody hell woman! That's my best friend!" Ron said before SMACK! "Godd- I mean darn it woman!" Ron moaned.

Pansy giggled. "When did you get here love?" Ron said, and they snogged.

"And you say me and Draco are disgusting!" Hermione remarked.

"Speaking of the devil, where is he?" Ron asked, and immediately knew he hit a sore spot because Hermione's face became indifferent and closed off, a trick she had learned from Draco.

"He's busy with work," Hermione said emotionlessly. Her sad brown eyes told the truth behind the mask of indifference. She was really hurt over the fact that Draco would miss their engagement and her birthday (they were like, 5 days apart) because of a stupid business meeting.

"Hey, at least you have us," Ginny said gently.

"You guys are friends, not husbands." Hermione said, her voice cracking. "I thought our engagement is important enough for him to cancel the meeting, but… Nevermind, he's not coming, and I'm guessing he wants to spend our next anniversary at a meeting too." Hermione said bitterly, wiping away her tears. Her friends stayed silent.

After a few minutes, Pansy said gently, "Let's get you up to your penthouse, okay? You wouldn't want your cousins to see you like this." Hermione looked up and nodded, after all, comforting isn't like Pansy, and if she's willing to make the effort, then she might as well do it.

Two hours later, Hermione was all prepped up, ready for the dinner to go shock her relatives (again) in a plain black one piece dress with a V-neck lowered just enough to show off some cleavage, but not too much. The sleeves reached just past her elbow and the skirt reached a little longer than mid-thigh. Her long, ruby earrings that just grazed her neck outlined her face, as well as her diamond necklace which included an emerald heart centerpiece outlined her blossoming beauty. She had a golden bracelet fitting her slim wrist like a glove, which came from Jewelry Medecine Douce in France, as well as her earrings and necklace. She was in a red stiletto embroidered with rubies while holding her black leather purse with a golden trimming (dunno if that exists). Her wavy brown hair was done up in a ponytail with curls framing her beautifully shaped face. She was done sulking, if you were wondering.

"Hermione! You look great!" Squealed Ginny in her periwinkle blue dress and Pansy in her purple one.

"Ready to knock the socks off your cousins' faces?" Pansy asked.
