Disclaimer: If I was J.K. Rowling I would not be writing this from my iPhone, my MacBook would be fixed, and the Wi-Fi in my house wouldn't be spotty! Haha! I did quote a bit from "The Half-Blood Prince" but I promise everything else is mine.

"Golden Duo Marries! Hermione Granger and Ron Weasley finally tie the knot! After seven years of dating the couple of the Golden Trio have finally decided to say 'I do'. Of course Harry Potter stood as best man for Ronald Weasley and Ginny Potter (nee Wealsey) stood as Maid of Honor for Hermione Granger. The whole thing was quite the spectacular affair..." I read to myself on the headlines of the Daily Prophet.
Hermione could of had me instead of that Weasel pratt I thought to myself. Sure I should be more grateful that Weasel did manage to help save our wizarding world with her and Potter but come on, what is there not to love about me? I scoff.
I'm handsome, charming, an excellent keeper at Quidditch, all of the ladies would love the chance to be with me but she threw that all away on him.
"Darling please come back to bed...I need to leave soon to go visit Astoria and Scorpius..."
A voice interrupting my thoughts.
"I'm coming in a minute Daph." I called back to her.
See she wants me over and over again. Granger could of willingly had me and I gave her the chance. Daphne Greengrass. Now she was quite the catch. Part of the Sacred 28, not that many people care anymore about that but the fact that's she's dirtying her bits with a half-blood like me would make her parents absolutely turn. Not sure if her parents would ever approve of us getting married - not that I'm the marrying type anyway - but she's loaded and I'm loaded and we would just be rich and beautiful together. Astoria married Malfoy. Which I still can't believe. Malfoy...it's funny the last time I ever talked to Malfoy was that night with Granger...
I can't wait to feel her lips. This is going to be my most...
I open my eyes and look around. "Granger? Where did you go?" This feisty bint sure does like to play hard to get but I will rather admit that I am enjoying it.
I scan the room and see if I can find her somewhere. I knew she'd come around to me eventually I mean really who can resist my charms. And my last Quidditch game? I was amazing, I wonder if I told her that?
Still scanning the room I see Slughorn, two Weird sisters, Blaise, Ginny and Dean Thomas, Loony Lovegood, Harry, and oh I think I see her with them by Professor Tre-loony
After pushing my way through two guffawing witches I see Harry. " Seen Hermione?" I ask.
"No sorry" he replies quickly and returns to his conversation with Loony and Treloony.
For the chosen one he could have any girl, any company he'd like and this is what he chooses? I continued walkigng around looking for Granger. I decided to grab and mug of mead and stand near Potter and Loony eventually whenever she decides she wants to come back she'll come to them of course I thought to myself.
I catch the last bit of Loony's conversation,"...They're planning on bringing down the Ministry of Magic from within with a combination of dark magic and gum disease." I nearly choke on my drink this girl is really mad.
Just then barging in is Filch and dragging Draco Malfoy by the ear. "Professor Slughorn", wheezed Filch, his jowls aquiver and the maniacal light of Michener-detection in his bulging eyes, "I discovered this boy lurking in the upstairs corridor. He claims to have been invited to your party and to have been delayed in setting out. Did you issue him with an invitation?" Malfoy pulled himself free of Filch's grip, looking furious. "All right, I wasn't invited!" He said angrily. " I was trying to gatecrash, happy?"
Just then Filch starts mouthing off what sounds to me like incoherent words at Malfoy. It's amusing to see the almost great-as-me Draco Malfoy want to gatecrash this party because he wasn't invited. Which honestly does surprise me with all of his connections.
Suddenly Slughorn's response to Filch interrupts my thoughts "It's Christmas, and it's not a crime to want to come to a party. Just this once, well forget any punishment; you may stay, Draco."
Well of course he would. I'm rather bored with this now and notice Granger still hasn't made herself available to me. I scan the room and I spot Ginny Weasley. I would of taken her myself pretty girl.
"Ginny have you seen your friend Granger?"
"Hermione? She has a name." She snaps.
"Yes she's my date. Now have you seen her?" I ask impatiently. Feisty I like it we could of had some fun
"No I haven't. Maybe she went to the lavatory." And turns back to her date Dean.
I head towards the nearest lavatory it's quite a walk but if I'm able to get a snog in tonight it'll be worth it.
I yell in the bathroom "Granger! It's Cormac!" silence.
Maybe she went back to the party now and head back near to Slughorn hoping that I don't run into Filch.
Right before I turn the corner from the stairs I hear voices.
"Draco! What are you doing?" A female voice suddenly echoed through the corridor.
"None of your business didn't I tell you to leave me alone?" Malfoy snaps back.
"You still have a chance! I can go with you to Dumbledore right now! I will vouch for you, please come with me." The female voice pleads.
"I cannot. I have no choice. If not my mother and I..." His voice trails off.
"Draco please. We can help protect you and your mother. It's not too late. Dumbledore can help and protect you both." The female voice is begging now.
"I can't. I just can't. You don't understand."
"Then help me understand. Draco please." The voice begging now.
"Hermione..."
"THAT IS MY DATE." My eyes are huge and I turn the corner but then my eyes have to be deceiving me. My perfect 20/20 sparkling brown eyes...
Hermione, my date, and Draco Malfoy are locked in a passionate kiss. His arm is around her waist, the other behind her head against the wall, her arms are locked around his neck.
I can't believe I'm seeing this. A small moan escapes her throat and I'm automatically taken from my shock.
"YOU THERE! That's my date! I yell. Immediately Hermione and Draco separate from each other.
"Cormac. What on earth are you doing out of the party?" She asks her lips are red and swollen.
"Well you are my date so I thought it would be the decent thing to do and look for
"McLaggen I suggest you not tell anyone about what you saw tonight. If not I will have your head. Granger I'm leaving." Malfoy addresses her.
"No Draco please wait!"
"You heard him Hermione!" I say shorty. "He said he's leaving and you are MY date not his."
Malfoy scoffs at this and walks away.
"DRACO PLEASE." She yells and starts going after him.
I catch up to her just as he turns a corner and pull her hand so she's inches from my face. Just then she pulls her wand out, aims it at my throat, and has me against the wall.
"You must like it like this since that's how I found you with Malfoy. Though Granger I must say snogging two different blokes in one night isn't a good look. I won't say anything."
She shoves her throat just into my Adam's apple just a bit. "Cormac it would be in your best interests to not repeat anything you saw to anyone tonight."
"And why is that Granger? Wouldn't want to tarnish your perfect image."
I tease her.
"I don't need to explain my reasoning or actions to you."
"You're my date and I find you out here snogging some other bloke."
"I don't like you Cormac! I just asked you to get under someone else's skin."
"Who Mal..."
"Wow Cormac you have such nice eyes why didn't I notice them before? How about this Cormac I'll go back with you to Slughorn's party? And we'll see how the rest of the night goes. " she says suddenly smiling.
"See I knew you'd warm up to me Granger. By the end of the night I'll show you how it's really done. Better than what Malfoy was doing over there." I smiled. See I knew she couldn't resist me.
She lowers her wand and smiles at me. "Oh do you have Slughorn's invitation? Just in case Filch comes around I don't want us to get in trouble."
I fish the invitAtion out of my pocket and hand it to her "Here you are. But I'm sure we won't need it even if we did get caught Filch already saw me at the party."
She takes it from my hand "Oh you know just in case. I wouldn't want to ruin my perfect reputation as you said." She replies.
Just then she says an incantation and waves her wand on the paper. "What's that for Granger?" As I snatch it back from her.
"That was my insurance that you won't say anything to anyone and I can go to bed now."
"What on Earth? What did you do!"
"Did you hear what happened to Marietta Edgecombe's face when she outed the DA? SNEAK appeared all over her forehead. She still has the scars to prove it. The SAME will happen to you if you say a word, breath, show a memory, write to anyone about what happened." Her wand back on my throat.
"What how?"
"I jinxed that parchment. I just needed you to touch it and it sealed the incantation."
I can't have my perfect face ruined. "Fine. Now can you take your want off my throat."
Her eyes suddenly squint as if she's sizing me up and she jabs her wand a little deeper into my throat before releasing me.
"If anyone asks. I never came back to the party. You can go back if you like. I don't care just remember what I said."
She starts walking away her footsteps growing softer before I brush myself off and decide to head back to the party.
I never told anyone. My face cannot be ruined and I wouldn't dare try since Marietta still has the scars to this day to prove it. I saw her in passing in Diagon Alley a few years back and it's a good thing I never decided to cross Granger. There was "SNEAK" in faint scars spelled across her forehead.
But I wonder what was going on between those two she went on to marry Weasel and Malfoy married Astoria. Just then a voice interrupted my thoughts and I look up and see Daphne naked with high heels on in the doorway of the kitchen "Cormac I thought I said come back to bed. I need to leave soon." And she slowly turns and walks away giving me a spectacular view of her amazing arse.
"Merlin..." And I get up and follow her to the bedroom. Hermione Granger who?
A/N: Longest chapter yet! And I have to say this was the chapter I've had fun writing the most so far! Cormac was a minor character but I had a lot of fun writing from his viewpoint. He was arrogant and a prat - almost like our beloved Draco - but he played his part. Like I said trying to use some non major characters here! I hope you enjoyed this and that it actually flowed with what was actually written in THBP. Please review, shoot me a PM if you'd like, follow, as long as you read and enjoy! And again if you want to see a specific character let me know! I might add a poll on my profile soon :) till the next chapter.
