Chapter 17: Dinner

"Hi." Draco said as he turned Hermione around while she was talking with Ginny in the corridor and kissed her.

"Hi." Hermione said when they broke the kiss.

"Hi Ginny." Draco said.

"Hi." Ginny replied.

"Hermione, want to go to dinner with me tonight?" Draco asked as he looked at Hermione.

"Sure." Hermione said. And Draco kissed her one more time softly on the lips and left.

"See Ginny. I just feel so good when he's around me. I love him Ginny." Hermione said honestly.

"I know." Ginny said.

"Hermione, Um.well, I promised Moaning Myrtle that I would go see her with you. So do you want to go with me?" Ginny asked.

"Ok." Hermione replied.

"Thanks." Ginny said. And they started to walk to the third floor.

"So Hermione, have you and Draco ever.ever.you know, done it?" Ginny asked.

"We came really close to doing it, but I wasn't ready. That's the reason I had been looking so awful those couple of days. Draco and I weren't talking." Hermione said.

"Oh Hermione, why didn't you tell me?" Ginny asked.

"I thought that maybe it should stay between Draco and me." Hermione replied.

When they got to Moaning Myrtle's bathroom, Hermione saw that nothing had changed. Because the last time that she had been in that bathroom was in their second year. And now she's in her last year. So she expected it to have changed.

"Hi Myrtle." Hermione said.

"Hi Myrtle." Ginny said.

"Hi!" Myrtle shrieked and went next to Hermione and Ginny. "Thank you so much for coming to see me!"

"Your welcome." Hermione and Ginny said in a unison. "How are you?"

"I'm good." Myrtle said. "How are you?"

"We're good." Ginny replied.

They chatted with Myrtle for a while. Then they headed off to they Gryffindor common room to get their parchment and quills. After they got them they went to the library to get some homework done.

"I have quite a lot of homework." Hermione said. "I've been spending my time so much with Draco that it's all left. What about you?"

"Me too." Ginny said.

So they headed to the library. At the library they saw Harry and Draco talking together. Hermione and Ginny smiled at each other and headed towards their boyfriends. Ginny went around the other side of the table and kissed Harry, and Hermione went around the other side of the table and kissed Draco. Then Hermione and Ginny went on the other side of the table and sat in front of Harry and Draco. Draco and Harry were talking about Quidditch.

"I have to write an 8 inch long essay for Muggle Studies." Hermione said. " I'll go get a book."

After Hermione left, Ginny turned to Draco and said, "She really loves you Draco. Please don't break her heart."

"Don't worry. I won't. I love her just the same." Draco replied. "Harry, Hermione and I are going to go to dinner together. Would you and Ginny like to come?"

"Ok." Harry said.

"Meet us at six o' clock near the Great Hall doors." Draco said.

"Ginny how about you and I go outside for a walk? It's a lovely day." Harry asked Ginny.

"Sure." Ginny replied.

"See you at dinner." Harry said to Draco.

When Hermione came back she asked, "Where are Harry and Ginny?"

"They went outside for a walk." Draco replied. Hermione got her things and went over to sit next to him. "I invited Harry and Ginny to come to dinner with us."

"Oh good." Hermione said as she began to look through the book.

Draco and Hermione talked as Hermione did her homework for about two hours. Then they decided to go outside to find Harry and Ginny. They found them along with Ron and Parvati Patil sitting at the lakeside, talking.

"Hi." Hermione and Draco said as they sat down next to them.

"Hi." everyone replied.

"You guys have got together? Hermione asked Ron and Parvati.

"Yeah." Ron said.

"That's great." Hermione exclaimed. And they all began to talk. Hermione, Ginny, and Parvati sat next to each other and talked. And Draco, Harry, and Ron sat next to each other and talked. When it was about five o' clock Draco, Harry, Hermione, and Ginny headed towards the castle. Ron and Parvati stayed.

Harry, Ginny, and Hermione all went to the Gryffindor common room. And Draco went to the Slytherin common room. When Harry, Ginny, and Hermione were ready. They headed out of the common room. They saw Draco waiting for them at the portrait of the Fat Lady.

When Draco saw Hermione he froze. She looked stunning.

"You look beautiful." Draco said as they joined Harry and Ginny.

"Dumbledore gave me permission for us to go tonight." Draco told them.

"Ok." everyone said. And they all started to walk to Hogsmeade.

When they got there Draco said, "I've reserved a table for us at the Three Broomsticks." Draco informed them. So they all headed to the Three Broomsticks. When they got there, there was a table reserved for four. They went and sat down and the waiter came to take their orders.

"I can't believe we are going to graduate in about five months." Hermione said.

"Yeah." Draco said.

"Except for Ginny. She still has another year." Harry said.

"Don't worry Ginny. We'll always come visit you." Hermione told her.

"Thanks." Ginny said.

The dinner was great. After dinner they all went to an ice cream parlor. When it was about ten o' clock they went back to the castle. Harry and Ginny went up to the Gryffindor common room, but since Draco and Hermione had prefect duties, they stayed to patrol the corridors.

After a while of going up and down the corridors and talking, Draco and Hermione got really tired. So Draco took Hermione up to the Gryffindor common room, kissed her on the lips for about two minutes, and left.

When Hermione entered the common room she saw Harry and Ginny sitting on the couch in front of the fire and talking. She went over to them and joined them.

"What's up guys? she asked.

"Nothing. I'm going up to bed." Ginny said and left. Harry put his hands over his face. "Harry, please don't hurt Ginny. She really loves you." Hermione told Harry softly.

"I know. I love her too." Harry said. "I'm going to bed. Bye Hermione."

"Bye." Hermione replied as she got up and went up to bed also.
