A/N: Sorry, I did say that I would try to update this story every Friday, but that is not going to happen. School is murder and my teachers are flooding me with homework almost every night. So I will try to get chapters up as soon as I can, but school always comes first…so well….enjoy the 3rd chapter! Hope you like!
Draco got out of the car first and opened the door for Hermione. It was time to start acting like her boyfriend. He held out his hand to help her out of the car. She took it gratefully, slipping her hand into his.
"Ready?" asked Draco. He held out his elbow and Hermione took it, almost linking arms with him, but her arm wasn't through enough. Her hand just rested on the inside of his elbow.
"As ready as I'll ever be," said Hermione. She took a deep breath. "Let's go." She led him into the Country Club and through the party halls, until she found their party. Draco opened the door for them, allowing Hermione to go in first. She smiles and introduced Draco to family members that approached them.
"Ah! Mother!" Hermione smiled happily. She gave her mum a big hug.
"Hermione!" said Mrs. Granger. It's been far too long!" She hugged Hermione again and noticed Draco. "And who might this be?"
"This is Draco Malfoy," Hermione grabbed his hand. "We're dating."
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mrs. Granger," Draco bowed slightly and kissed her hand. Hermione and Mrs. Granger laughed.
"Same to you Draco," smiled Mrs. Granger, "and call me Jane."
"Jane! Come here!" yelled someone from a few feet away.
"Well, if you two will excuse me…" Mrs. Granger disappeared into the crowd.
Smiling, Hermione led Draco around, introducing to more family members that approached when—
"HERMIONE!" squealed a high-pitched blonde woman five feet away. Some of the family members either laughed as they moved out of the way or shook their heads and moved away unhappily.
Hermione turned around into an oncoming collision. Kelsey had come out of nowhere and hugged Hermione tightly, almost knocking both of them over. "Kelsey…You could have killed us!"
Kelsey giggled. "Who's the hottie?" Before giving Hermione a chance to answer, she ran off to greet someone less.
"Um…" said Hermione. Draco looked at her with a weird look on his face. "That was Kelsey…"
"Wow…she is out there…"
"'Mione," said someone from behind them. Hermione turned around with a huge smile on her face.
"Dad!" She hugged her father. "Dad, there's someone I want you to meet. Dad, this is Draco Malfoy. We're dating." Her father looked at her then at Draco.
"Nice to meet you," Mr. Granger held out his hand for Draco to shake, which he did.
"Pleasure is all mine," said Draco. Mr. Granger nodded his head in thought.
"You're a wizard too, right?" asked Mr. Granger. He took a sip of his wine and looked at Draco.
"Yes sir, I am," replied Draco. "I went to school with Hermione." He took a drink of wine and winked at Hermione.
Hermione smiled. "I have to visit the ladies' room, I'll be right back." Draco nodded and Hermione walked to the bathroom.
When she exited the bathroom, Ron was exiting the men's bathroom. "Ah! Hello Hermione," said Ron. He walked toward her and kissed her cheek like he used too. Hermione almost got lost in time, until he stepped back.
"Hello Ron," smiled Hermione.
"How have—"
"Oh my God! Oh my God! I can't believe it!" screeched a voice from across the room it seemed. A dark-haired girl ran up to Hermione and gave her a big hug.
"Hi Tina," said Hermione. She smiled as she noticed her cousin hadn't quit smoking like she said she was.
Tina turned around to face Ron. "'Ello asshole. Since you stole eight years of my cousin's life, you wouldn't mind me stealing her away from you, would you?" Hermione stood behind her, covering her face with her hand, shaking her head. Then, she was being dragged away by Tina.
"You didn't have to do that," said Hermione as they slowed down to a walking pace.
"Yes I did," said Tine. She got them both a drink. "You, my love, are too bloody nice. Besides, I wasn't saving you from him," Hermione looked at her. "I was saving him from you."
"Is he here with someone?"
"What was five more minutes on that asshole when Mr. Tie-Me-Up-Tie-Me-Down," Tina said as she stared at Draco, "is right over there." Hermione followed Tina's gaze. Draco was talking to their older relatives. He looked at Hermione and winks. "Oh my God…what does he do?"
"He teaches Defense Against the Dark Arts at my old school," Hermione said before she took a sip of her drink.
"Oh my God…I think I just cum…"
Hermione looked at her cousin weirdly before walking over to Draco and kissing him on the cheek. "How are you doing?"
"This is the most muggles I've ever been around and I am doing good," said Draco. "Your family is very nice." Hermione smiled thanks.
Draco left Hermione with her parents and Kelsey an hour later and went out onto a balcony for fresh air. The last person her wanted to see was leaning on the balcony, gulping down alcohol. Draco ignored him and went to the other side of the balcony.
"What does Hermione-" Ron Weasley hiccuped, "-see in you?"
"I don't wish to talk to a man I've never liked, nor do I wish to talk to a drunk," Draco said without looking at Ron.
"I'm in love with her," said Ron, ignoring Draco's reply, "but she's here with someone else." Draco turned to look at him, raising an eyebrow.
"There you are," smiled Hermione. She walked over to Draco and kissed him on the lips.
"Hi Hermione," said Ron, but was ignored. "Hi Hermione."
"Oh, hey yourself," said Hermione. She glanced at Ron and looked back at Draco, smiling.
Seeing as they didn't want anything to do with him, Ron went back into the party. Hermione eyed him until he disappeared into the crowd. She looked back at Draco.
"So, what did you guys talk about?"
"He seemed a little drunk, but I think he's still in love with you," said Draco. His eyes met her shocked brown eyes.
"You don't think he wants me back do you?" asked Hermione. She looked into the party nervously and back at Draco.
"I think he does."
