I'm such a push-over!" Hermione said as they walked into the pub.
"Well, if the shoe fits..." Harry trailed off uncertainly.
Hermione tried to whack him on the head, but he ducked out of her reach. He led Hermione over to a corner table where Ron Weasley, Ginny Weasley, Neville Longbottom, Luna Lovegood and Pansy Parkinson were sitting, chatting unconcernedly waiting for Harry to return with Hermione.
When Ron caught sight of Hermione, he exclaimed, "Oh Merlin! She IS alive! The monster sea of papers didn't drown you!"
"Ha ha. Very funny," Hermione said sarcastically as she slid into the booth next to Ginny.
Soon after they were all sitting around chatting. A house elf had already come and taken their orders, and refused to accept Hermione's coat as a 'gift,' when Hermione asked, "What is with the whole triple date thing? I feel like a seventh wheel."
"It's Valentines Day! You didn't remember?" Pansy said in her high voice. She was looking a lot better ever since she got a nose job.
"Crumple Horned Snoracks are mating tonight," Luna said in her usual dreamy voice, but her comment was lost to Hermione.
"Oh Merlin! Valentines Day? I completely forgot! I've got to go see Draco! Where is he?" Hermione asked in one breath as she hopped out of the booth and pulled on her coat.
"Hermione, you coat goes on the other way," Neville pointed out.
Hermione let out a sigh of exasperation but pulled it on the right way. "Where's Draco?"
The six of them shot each other an uneasy glance. "We don't know," Ginny said slowly after a moment of silence.
"What do you mean you don't know? There are only so many places he could be!" Hermione said in a strangled voice.
"Well I suppose you could check Malfoy Manor," Harry suggested.
"Oh, or the Cannons practice pitch. He's their seeker this year you know," Ron said happily.
"Perhaps Grimmauld Place? He's helping us redecorate," Ginny added weakly.
"How about my apartment? Do you think he might be there?" Hermione asked.
"No!" everyone except Luna said forcefully.
Luna however replied in a floaty voice, "Yes, I believe that is where he currently is."
"Luna! We weren't supposed to tell her!" Ron hissed into his girlfriends ear.
Hermione's face lit up with this new information. "So he's at my place? Ok, bye! Happy Valentines Day! I'll see you later!"
She was just about to apparate back to her flat when Harry grabbed her arm. "Let's just wait until the food comes," he said as he helped her out of her coat. "Think of all the poor house elves slaving away over the stove for your meal! You can take it home with you," Harry said in a desperate attempt to keep her at the pub.
Harry had hit her weak spot. She glanced towards the doors of the kitchen. "Fine, but I'll take it home. I can't believe that you made me come here on Valentine's Day!"
Harry and Ron exchanged knowing glances and Harry steered Hermione back to her seat. "Be right back," Harry said as he headed towards the loo, pulling a mirror out of his pocket.
