"Please Draco, I don't want to go to Theodore Nott's birthday party. I'm sure he's perfectly fine, but everyone who despises me will be there. Please!" She pouted at her reflection in the mirror.

"Come on Hermione, Lovegood will be there! If she can do it, I'm pretty sure you can… You guys can stick together?" He said hopefully, watching her as she was clearly listing the pro's and con's in her head.

"Don't be ridiculous, she doesn't leave his side! And I'll be surprised if he even lets her stand now she's with a baby." She rolled her eyes as she tugged a brush through her unruly hair.

"I know, he's very protective. But still, I really want you there… no one will say anything to you. Theo wouldn't let them, and neither would I."

"I can't believe you made me come here!" She hissed under her breath.

"I didn't drag you out the house kicking and screaming, you got dressed and made up and flooed her after me." He smirked, taking her hand in his.

"See the looks I'm getting Draco!" She whined, giving a small smile to those who were staring.

"It's probably because you look so much more beautiful than them and their girlfriends." He whispered into her ear, and then kissed her temple. "Come on, let's go and find Theo."

"Isn't that him?" She pointed to the dark haired man sitting in the corner, laughing with a very round Luna on his lap.

"Obviously…Do you really think he lets any other men so much as look at Lovegood?" He chuckled, making his way towards the corner.

Hermione rolled her eyes; both of them had managed to get slytherin boyfriends? Well done to them then, she laughed to herself, not quite being able to believe how things had worked out.

"Hermione Granger…Hello!" He had shifted Luna out of his lap, and gave Hermione a kiss on the cheek, before giving Draco an eager handshake and a warm clap on the back.

"Hi. Nice to meet you." She smiled; maybe this wouldn't be so bad.

"Hermione," Luna smiled, shifting in her seat and putting a hand to her stomach, "The nargles are making this pregnancy very difficult on me. Could you come here?"

Some things will never change, Laughing again, Hermione moved closer. "It's good to see a familiar face here Luna." She hugged the woman best she could, then sat down next to her.

"Everyone is a familiar face here… did you know our sensory memory means that we see things and don't think that we remember them, but we do?"

Theo walked back over with Draco, and they sat down next to the women. "That's interesting Luna…" Hermione smirked, and then shook it off as she realized Draco was definitely rubbing off on her too much.

"And, everyone you see in your dreams is someone you've seen before, you just don't remember it." She cocked her head, "So that murderer in your dream, is just the man you walked past outside the ministry."

"What a lovely thought Luna." Theodore chuckled as he tuned into their conversation.

"Being a bit anti-social at your own party aren't you?" Draco smirked.

"If I leave Luna alone for one second, she starts trying to rearrange the garden gnomes in case they bite people, and it hurts her back terribly. She's not supposed to move around a lot, but she knows that, don't you?" He winked at her, putting a hand on her stomach.

Draco suddenly felt very uncomfortable. This was what Hermione wanted, and it didn't seem so bad. So why couldn't he just give that to her? He coughed awkwardly, "Well, I think we'll leave you guys too it, I really want to see Zabini. He's here, isn't he?"

"Of course."

"The bar?"

"Of course." Both men started laughing, and Hermione kissed Luna on the cheek, shook Theo's hand, and followed as swiftly as she could.

"Abrupt departure much?" Hermione frowned, clasping onto Draco's hand as she finally caught up.

"I really want to see Zabini and his new toy." He didn't even look at Hermione.

"I like Theo by the way, he seems nice, and great for Luna."

"That's good, I knew you would." He mumbled as they reached the bar. "Zabini!"

"Oh, hey Draco." He grinned, embracing his old friend.

"Who's this?" Draco raised an eyebrow, pointing to the busty blonde at Blaise's side.

"Oh, that's Ruby. She's a…friend." She waved and gave a thin lipped smile, before turning back to her drink.

"They're all 'friends', Blaise." He chuckled.

"Is this the famous girlfriend? I've heard a lot about you. You're prettier than he made out." He winked at Hermione, and then brought her hand to his lips.

"Oh really?" Hermione turned, raising an eyebrow at Draco.

He raised his hands, "That's a lie. I said you're beautiful!"

"I think she deserves more adjectives than just beautiful mate…" He winked at Hermione again.

"Oi, keep your eyes on Ruby and off my girlfriend." Draco chuckled, sliding a protective arm around Hermione's waist.

Blaise just laughed, downing his drink.

"Anyway, it was great seeing you, but I really need to have a talk with Hermione. So, see you soon yeah? Me you and Theo?"

"Definitely."

They shook hands again, and Blaise blew Hermione a cheeky kiss, leaving her red in the face.

"What did you need to talk about?" She was worried.

"Come on, let's go home. We can talk there." He was nervous.

A/N- Yay! I got to do Thuna and Blaise! Hehe, I've been thinking I might include things like this, like more about Blaise, Theo, Luna, Ginny, Pansy, Daphne etc, and how they fit into their lives. Hope this was liked! They will have had the baby talk between this chapter and the next ;) this is the 'making new friends' prompt for The Best Feelings In The World Challenge - don't forget to review!
