"Drake! Where were you man?" Blaise came dragging pansy with him.

"Hi! Blaise, how are you?" Draco nodded.

"Good. Must say the hotel looks better and better each day." Blaise said.

"Thanks .well how is MZ potions doing? I heard its gold mine now days?" Draco enquired.

"Yes it's doing well. All thanks to you." Blaise added sincerely.

Draco and Blaise were business partners in MZ associates; they started this association four years back. Blaise headed research and supply, whereas Draco handled finance department, as he had look after various other business.

"Come on now you guys leave the business aside for some time and enjoy this event." Pansy said, bored of their business talks. "Drake where is hermione, Theo and ria?" Pansy asked.

"Yeah they are talking to john I think, come on let's find them." Draco said. John was his event manager and close associate, who is to manage all the events that were held in the hotel.

"Harry what is Malfoy doing here?" Ron enquired, spotting Draco with his fellow slytherins.

"Yeah, didn't know the snakes would be gracing us today." Harry added.

"Come on let's find out." Ron said.

"Mr Malfoy, Mr Zabini, good to see you" Kinsley greeted both of them.

"You too minister. I hope you are pleased with the arrangements." Draco asked greeting him.

"Yes, I must say it has certain aura. I am grateful that you agreed to lend us the hotel for the night." Kinsley said nodding in appreciation.

"Well the pleasure is all mines." Draco added sincerely.

"Where is Mrs Malfoy, I would like to thank her as well. "Kinsley said.

"No need to thank me Kinsley, hermione said joining them. Well as Draco said the pleasure is of us."

"Honey where were you? I got worried that you flew home leaving me handle it all alone." Draco said jokingly kissing her cheeks.

"Yes I was thinking of it, but I got worried that you won't be able to handle it all alone so I stayed." She added sliding closer into his embrace.

"Off course" he scoffed.

"Enough of that please behave you too. We have public here." Theo said getting embarrassed of their public display of affection.

"It's ok Theo we were not snogging" Draco said rolling his eyes. While everyone in their group were smirking at the couple. They were all used to their display of affection ever since they started dating. Theo being new member of their group was a different story.

Theo was the only one in their group who is to easily get embarrassed with this kind of situation, while the others were all fine with public attention.

"Well that's my clue then" Kinsley said after sometime "see you later, enjoy the party." He added beaming at the happy couple. After that he left to see the other guest.

Here harry and Ron were going to meet Kinsley enquiring about Malfoy presence but were interrupted by Ginny and lavender.

"Harry did you see her!" Ginny asked jumping up and down with excitement, whereas lavender was looking clearly revolting.

"Who?" Harry asked confused.

"Hermione!" I just saw her talking to the manager, Thought I should tell you first before talking to her" Ginny said

"Hermione!" Both harry and Ron said, shocked. "But we just checked the arrival list of the guest and her name was not there, wasn't it" harry Ron said at once.

"Yes I double checked it" harry nodded.

"Well may you have mistaken" Ginny said not at all troubled with his theory.

"Ok, let's find her." Harry said eager to meet his friend.

With that the group of four went to look after hermione.

"Look she is over there with….Malfoy?" Ginny said pointing where the slytherins were chatting.

"So drake when are you planning next holiday?" Theo asked

"Not for a while Lyra is only five months; I don't know if I would be able to leave her alone for long time." Draco said perhaps "scorp will not be happy if we leave him and his sister alone" he chuckled

"Yes, it seems that slytherin character has kicked off early." Pansy nodded chuckling

"Hey he just a baby, perhaps he can be in Gryffindor. Hermione said. Making everyone laugh.

"Off course darling" Draco said placating his wife "Perhaps he is a perfect mix of both of us."

Scorpius was perfect replica of Draco with platinum blond hair, pale skin colour but the only difference was he had Hermione's eyes, the shade of honey brown. Whereas Lyra had all of Draco's features.

"Yes, I am betting he would be in ravenclaw just like his aunt." Came the dreamy voice Luna goyle startling everyone.

"Luna where were you?" Hermione asked hugging her tightly. "And where is goyle?"

"I am here." Goyle said tapping Hermione's shoulder.

"God Luna, Greg you need to practise to arrive without startling everyone" Astoria said hugging both of them

"What can I say ria it's our style." Greg added laughingly.

"Yes you and your styles!" Draco mocked. And everyone laughed.

"Hermione?" Harry said.

Hermione turned to the familiar voice " ,Mr. weasley hermione" said nodding to both of them. She already knew attending the event like this would mean meeting the replied calmly with blank expression. Staying with Draco had taught her to control the emotions very well.

"What are doing with Malfoy?" Ron blurted out with rage.

"You mean what am I doing with my husband?" Hermione said in controlled voice.

"Husband? You married the foul death eater." Ron shouted getting angry.

"Watch your tongue weasley otherwise you will pay the price" hermione said menacingly.

"It's ok love we do not need to give explanations to them" Draco said tightening the grip on Hermione's waist.

"Yes you are right, enough drama is already created lets go somewhere else" hermione said.

"Wait! We want explanations" Ron shouted grabbing Hermione's hand forcefully making her turn. Now the entire hall was staring at the group.

"I DO NOT NEED TO GIVE YOU EXPLANATIONS!" Hermione roared trying to get free of his hold.

"She means she do not feel the need to give you the damn explanation of her choice weasel, now leave her arm otherwise your arm will be no where to be seen" Draco said in voice full of malice pointing the wand on his throat. Now the whole group of them were pointing their at them.

"Mr Weasley, Mr .potter enough of all this, you both have already created a huge mess." Kinsley said joining the group.

"Security!" Draco roared and immediately two giant looking men arrived. "Throw this people out." Draco said looking at harry and Ron.

"What do you mean? To throw us out! Who are you? And why they will listen to you" harry enquired.

"Because he owns the hotel." Kinsley said looking disgusted at both of them

"What?" Harry and Ron exclaimed at once.

"It's ok, Draco, no need to get harsh" hermione said trying to calm her husband.

"I'm sorry for their behaviour , please forgives me for the embarrassment" Kinsley said looking extremely sad.

"Fine, let's go Lyra and scorp would be waiting" Draco said grabbing Hermione's hand and waving to his friends. "You all enjoy the event we see you later hermione said to her friends." Who all nodded understandingly.
