Chapter 17
"Luna, where did you say that Neville was going this weekend?"
Ginny stared Luna down like a hawk as her blonde head swayed slowly.
"Oh..Nev...Neville." She paused sounding out the words slowly. "He-he's gone with Hagrid." She ended her statement abruptly, jumping up from her seat on the log across from them and wandering away.
Blaise looked to his side at Ginny who was giving him a side eye.
"With Hagrid?" Ginny rolled her eyes. "What could Hagrid and Neville be—
Blaise waved his hand. "Are you hungry? Le—
"What is Luna doing here?!" Ginny threw up her hands in annoyance, jumping up as Parvati and Pansy sat near them.
"Ginny, keep your voice down..you don't wa—
Pansy snickered.
Blaise shot her a glare. Ginny ignored both girls. Shaking her head at Blaise, she stomped off to the their tent.
"Trouble in paradise?"
Blaise turned slowly to Parvati and Pansy who were staring up at him intently. He scowled at them before following after Ginny.

"Draco?"
Hermione was standing outside of their small bath. Tapping her foot she began to open the door.
"Hermione, no! Just..just give me a minute."
She let out a long sigh. "You've been in there for almost an hour! What could you possibly be—
Hermione was cut off as he burst out of the bath. He had his infamous smirk on his face. He paused in front of her.
Hermione's eyes widening in the awkwardness.
"What?"
He smiled. "What you won't do, I have to handle myself." He laughed to himself, crossing to the other side of the room before Hermione's embarrassment set in.
She stepped into the bath, shooting him a death stare. He caught this and continued to laugh.
"Just…just…inappropriate." She muttered to herself and slammed the bath door.

By the time everyone has settled into their tents, the sun had vanished. It was almost pitch black at the campsite before Hermione enchanted a bonfire and she waited patiently as Draco brought out snacks from their tent. He marched up to her with a bowl of crisps and two muffins.
"Draco how long have you had these muffins?"
He gave her a confused look. Sitting down he mused to himself. "Everything she knows about me..she thinks I'd eat recycled muffins.."
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Well, we are eating muffins for dinner." She bit into the chocolate muffin he'd given her. "Hmm."
He watched her take another bite.
"At least it's good."
Draco sneered. "Of course it is." He went to work on his own muffin and ushered the crisps to her.
"Draco, did you bring any real food?"
He stopped mid bite. "Well of course I did."
Hermione waited as he wiped his mouth.
"It's just not here yet…call these appetizers."
She stared at him now apprehensive. "Draco, if you're going to tell me that you were cruel enough to make one of your mothers elves come here and—
He snatched the crisps from her and began to open them.
"No Hermione, I wasn't going to tell you."
Hermione gasped. She got up from her seat next to him.
"Hermione—
"I can't believe you would do something so—
Draco pulled her back down, clearly unamused by her response to his dinner arrangements.
"Don't make a scene."
Hermione leaned away as he released her arm. She threw the muffin at him. He rolled his eyes and sat with her in silence.

"Parvati, you've never disliked Hermione before."
Parvati rolled her eyes as she pulled her hair into a high bun. "How would you know?"
Confused, Ron moved from his place by the door, to sit at the table across from her in their small tent. "Well, she's a better friend than Pansy if you ask me.."
"I didn't ask you."
Ron's confused expression turned into a scowl.

"So did you two wait till after the ceremony or—
Harry's spoon stopped midway from his mouth. He paused acknowledging Theo's question, then continued to eat. He shot Pansy a side eye that she shrugged at.
"Well? You're already showing…" Theodore looked from Pansy to Harry several times. He whispered slowly. "Definitely before the ceremony then."
Pansy shot him a death glare. "Do you ever mind your own business?!"
Theo chuckled. "So you aren't denying it?"
Harry straightened trying his best to ignore Theo's presence. "Is there any reason he has to stay in our tent the entire weekend?"
Pansy rolled her eyes. "Yes, unfortunately it's the ministries rules for felons..they're not allowed to be alone."
Theo rolled his eyes at this. "Well good for me, I can enjoy the two of you..three of you, all weekend long."
Harry closed his eyes.

As the night grew darker, the couples began to gather around the bonfire Hermione had enchanted. All of them relatively irritated at one another. Luna in good spirits after receiving an owl from Neville, it told news of his arrival early the next morning.
Theodore was sitting awkwardly in between Harry and Pansy who both looked especially agitated. Hermione and Draco were sitting as far as two people who were sitting near could be from each other. Ginny and Blaise were sitting close in silence, staring anywhere but each other. Ron and Parvati were the last to arrive from their tents. Ron had enjoyed a full dinner and a nap after Parvati scowled him into exhaustion for getting food everywhere.
Theo hummed to himself softly. "You all are quite the party." He grinned looking around at everyone. "Well come on! Newlyweds! What tales of married life?"
Everyone turned their heads to give him a disgusted look.
"I happen to love it."
Everyone turned to Luna who had shouted suddenly.
"Neville and I have already shared many new Herbology adventures together.."She giggled to herself. "It's quite fun."
"Oh." Theodore gave her a sly smile. "I can only imagine."
Hermione waved her hand at him. "That does sound lovely Luna."
Draco sneered. "It does?"
Hermione rolled her eyes. "Honestly?" She shoved him. "What is wrong with you? If she enjoys it then it's—
"Oh, please. They have got to be the most boring—
"Draco!" Hermione gave him a menacing look, ending his statement.
Harry shifted looking from Luna to Draco to Hermione. "That does sound…great Luna." He glared at Draco who was now looking down at the floor.
"Maybe not the most exciting thing we do together..."
At this Theo let out a loud "hmmmmmmm" noise.
"..but our sex life is much better I believe." Luna purred her words in her sing song voice.
Ginny cupped her mouth at this in shock. Harry and Pansy exchanged looks. Hermione and Ron looked away from Luna in embarrassment.
"Now that…that is interesting!" Theo clapped to Luna. "Who's next?"

After a short lived game of charades between Theo and Luna the group was again silent and tension loomed over everyone.
Theo rolled his eyes looking around. "Well we're all here for the weekend, I thought this was a friends trip."
Ginny sighed loudly. "So did I." She looked to Hermione. "This is no fun."
Hermione looked to her side at Draco who was looking down at his hands.
"Let's play another game!" Luna brushed her blonde hair behind her ears, eagerly waiting for someone to suggest a new game.
Theo smiled mischievously. "I know a good one." He reached behind him into his bag. He retrieved a bottle of fire whiskey and several glasses. "Never have I ever."
Hermione shook her head slowly as glasses began to be passed around. "This is not going to end well…"

A/N: Hi everybody! I hope you enjoyed this chapter of couples drama and a little bit of Dramione drama. Why can't Draco just be a good guy?! Ha! Wouldn't be a Malfoy if he was right? I just want to remind you all that this story is a Dramione fic, so most of the last chapters will focus on them and their development as a couple and a lot more about Ginny/Blaise as well. Not so much about Harry/Ron but I do love some Ron/Parvati awkwardness, makes me laugh just thinking about it.. and Theo/Pansy/Harry sharing a tent for the weekend, poor Harry. I'm thinking 25 chapters, maybe. Make sure to stay updated, I will have another chapter up before the weekend ends. I hope you are all enjoying your cozy Winters or almost winters, perfect time for writing! Be patient with me, I will be updating Therapy this weekend as well if you haven't read it, please do! It's more Harry/Ginny but still Dramione centric. Review, favorite! *also if you're wondering why I've changed from ... to Xxx it's because I have to upload on my iPAD and formatting is still jacked :(
