Hermione stepped into the room where the party was being held, and was displeasured to know that the party showed no signs of dying down, Harry was right on her tail and she glanced at him only to find he was shaking with unexpressed laughter.

A smile crept on her own face, the look on Malfoy's face was priceless, and if she couldn't have the pleasure of seeing his cheeks color in embarrassment, she surely had the pleasure of seeing his cheeks color in anger and indignation.

As soon as Ginny saw her she beckoned her over, she looked highly amused, and Ron's face was so red, you couldn't tell where his face ended and his hair began.

As soon as she reached them, Ginny started giggling and said "I know what you are doing, it's incredible, if you ever need my services, let me know"

"well I still don't know what the hell is going on, why the hell where you acting like a couple of love birds, and Harry I thought had a crush on-" but he was stopped because Harry's foot found its was to Ron's. Harry's cheeks flamed red.

Hermione and Ginny exchanged looks, before grinning slyly and looking at harry, Hermione moved closer to him and asked "Tell me harry, who is it you have a crush on?"

Harry shot Ron a dirty look, who smiled apologetically and avoided eye contact, nervously rubbing the back of his neck.

Hermione once again repeated her question, harry was about to finally give up and

RING

He was saved by the bell, literally. Hermione mother was moving her wand in small circles, and it was producing a loud ringing noise like glass colliding with metal only less annoying and harmonious.

"can I have everyone's attention please?, it is time for dinner, but before we indulge in the different varieties of food, that the house elves have prepared, Rudolf , Narcissa and I would like to make an announcement" Hermione' s mother said once she had everyone's attention.

"you probably all know that our daughter was betrothed at birth to Draco Malfoy, but we would like to make it official by announcing it now, you are all of course invited to the wedding next week"

At this Hermione choked on her drink.

Rudolf Zabini gave Hermione a warning look, so she stayed quiet.

"Now come up here Hermione and Draco," said Narcissa looking extremely pleased for some reason.

Hermione made her way to her parents and stood beside her father, Malfoy came up to her, and he took her had in his, raising it to his mouth and kissing it lightly, his face held nothing but angelic happiness, so much innocence that Hermione could have laughed out loud but he had a very evil look in his eyes, his grey eyes were practically dancing and she instantly knew he was the one behind rescheduling the wedding, she wanted to take her had from his cherry lips, and slap him across the face for ruining her life, but she couldn't so she settled for forcing a cold smile and looked at her father.

"Now Draco will give Hermione her ring"

Draco extracted a dark blue velvet ring box from his pocket, he smiled at her then opened it, Hermione heard a few gasps from their audience and couldn't help but admire the ring was made entirely out of small glittering diamonds that were closely put together as if knitted, with a beautiful green heart shaped emerald in the middle.

(A/n look at my profile for a picture of the ring)

He slid the ring on her finger and she couldn't help but love the way it looked on her hand, he took her hand and kissed it once more, and then without warning he pulled her in and caught her lips in a kiss.

Her first reaction was to push away, but when he ran his tongue on her lower lip, asking for entrance, she opened her mouth for him and took him in , he immediately caressed her tongue with his, then went out to search and memorize every cervix in her mouth, she fought his tongue with hers fiercely battling for dominance, he almost moaned into her mouth, but stopped himself, her eyes widened as if realizing what she was doing she and she pulled back turning to a very interesting shade of magenta, there were a few cat calls and whistles from the young faction of the guests.

Hermione looked over at her friends and found Ron's face was if possible even redder than it was earlier, Harry looked confused and Ginny was eyeing her with a knowing look, Hermione avoided looking at them and found interest in the marble floor.

"now that we finished our announcement, let our dinner begin" Hermione's mother said, and suddenly a huge rectangular table appeared, every plate had a name on a piece of paper on it, the guests all had papers that were enchanted to attract them to their place, once the guest sat, the papers would disappear, should he or she stand up again the papers would reappear.

Much to Hermione chagrin she found out that her seat was in the middle of Malfoy and Blaise and opposite to Harry, Ron and Ginny.

She let Malfoy lead her to her seat and sat down, really not able to slap him or kick him in the shin, so she settled for trailing after him with a fake smile on her face and a hopeless look in her eyes, he wore a smirk the entire time, he sat next to her and whispered in her ear.

"Not bad Zabini"

Hermione was sure her face would glow bright red should someone turn off the lights.

Ron came to sit opposite Blaise who had sat next to Hermione, Ginny say next to Ron and opposite Hermione then finally Harry sat opposite Malfoy and next to Ginny.

"Hey guys" Hermione said timidly

"We'll talk about your little PDA later" harry said, playing the role of the jealous boyfriend, all the while sneaking worried glanced at Ron who was taking deep breaths obviously trying to calm down.

"Yes, yes we will" Ron said when he heard harry.

Hermione sneaked a glance at Malfoy and found him smirking at her she looked at Blaise and he was checking out Ginny's breasts, Ron had noticed and was rapidly turning to a highly alarming shade of purple.

This night was turning out to be a very very long night, and she was sure that come morning the disastrous consequences will hunt and torment her; she reached for the nearest goblet of fire whisky and drowned it.

"Hermione love, you know you are not allowed to drink, not for a few weeks anyway here let me take that, make sure she doesn't have anymore Draco " Hermione's mother's whispering voice said from beside her head, taking the goblet and walking away.

Hermione looked at Malfoy. He was smirking.

"Yes Gemma, whatever you say, don't worry Mya is safe with me" Malfoy said grinning malevolently.

Yes, Hermione decided, this was going to be a very very long night
