Thank you for all the reviews, I'm new at this so I'm going to try my best 

Last time:

He waited stealthily till she came out six minutes later and managed to look as if he had come out of the men's at the same time.

"Excuse me," Hermione quickly replied and then looked up to see whom the body she currently was pressed up against. Looking up Hermione saw, much to her shock, a set of very familiar bluish grey eyes looking at her with surprise. "Draco?"

"Granger, my haven't we grown up!" Draco countered with the usual smirk. He was looking at her with lustful eyes and Hermione began to feel a blush creeping up.

"Draco I thought you would have grown up but seeing how you are still the usual smarmy git I'll leave you to whatever you call you existence in life." Hermione was furious, she hadn't seen Malfoy since for over two years and she had never had feelings for him. Yet, when he looked at her like he wanted to ravish her right there in the restaurant she couldn't help but feel what she had felt. Really she couldn't blame herself since Malfoy was the most attractive male specimen she had ever laid eyes on but his infuriating personality made her want to slap him. She realized she was still pressed up against him and he was giving her a questioning look.

"Malfoy, I've got to go so if you could please move I would like to go back with Harry and Ron"

"Back to last names Granger? And I was getting so used to you saying my name, although I wouldn't mind you screaming it either…" Draco was having too much fun, he couldn't believe his luck and seeing Hermione here. He got an idea and decided to invite her and her two nitwits to his ball tomorrow. She was almost out of ear shot when he quickly walked up to her. "Hey Granger, my mother insisted on having this birthday ball for me tomorrow and um. I err… was wondering if you wanted to come?" Draco was NEVER nervous, this girl was seriously eating away at his pride. "You can bring Potty and Weasel too."

"Thanks for the offer Draco but I don't know if we can make it."

"Make what Hermione?" Harry had wondered what had kept Hermione and had left the table to go find her, seeing Malfoy talking to her he understood the holdup.

"I was just inviting Granger, Weasley and you to my birthday ball, don't laugh at me Potter my mother insisted!"

"Well it is a bit short notice but we were all going to go to the movie I'm sure we can do that another time, right Hermione" Harry innocently asked, he had heard a lot about Malfoy's social gatherings and new you should be privileged to be invited, let alone a person invite by the host himself. Hermione however was glaring daggers at Harry.

"Of course Harry," she responded through gritted teeth, her current look clearly stated I'm going to hex you once we leave her.

Draco was ecstatic and was about to go back to his table when Potter asked him, "Is it ok if I bring my wife, Ginny?" Harry and Ginny had married a two months after the end of the war. Draco had been invited to the wedding, which had been publicized throughout the wizarding community, and had had the privy of dancing with Hermione at the reception. Come to think of it, that was the last time he had really seen her.

"Yea, sure Potter. Well I must get back to my mother before she sends a search party after her lovely son." Harry and Hermione both snorted and walked back towards their table.

"Harry I don't know what you're playing at, but are you bloody crazy! You can't stand Malfoy and you just accepted his invitation!"

"Hey! I was being polite, unlike you." Harry said, "Ron you up for it right?"

"Hell yea! Aww come one Hermione have you not heard about Malfoy parties? Booze isn't the only great thing about them, the women there are unbelievable!"

"Ronald!" Hermione was furious, she would know have to spend an entire night with Ron making passes at wealthy women and Harry and Ginny fawning over each other. The thought was enough to make her gag.

"Ron does have a point Hermione….but I have eyes for only Ron's amazing and beautiful sister" Harry quickly said after the look Ron gave him reading he better not be looking at any of the other women except his only sister.

"Look Hermione, you and Ginny can spend an all girls day tomorrow before the ball, go shopping and the lot," Harry suggested, "and then we can all meet up at out place and go."

"Fine."

"Yay, Hermione this is going to be so much fun!" Ron was beyond ecstatic, he was now the second most valuable Quidditch player which was accompanied by a hefty salary but no female partner to share it with. Hermione was becoming tired of his constant serial dating which almost, and key word almost rivaled Draco Malfoy's.

"Harry just tell Ginny to meet me at my place around 8 tomorrow morning." Hermione grudgingly stated as she saw Ron and Harry fight over the bill. She paid last week so it was either of the two males out of the Golden Trio to pay.

Meanwhile at the Malfoy table…

"Draco what took you so long?"

"Oh, sorry mother to keep you waiting. I ran into a few old school and order friends who I invited to tomorrow's gathering. I hope you don't mind."

"Not at all Draco, as long as one of them female?" Draco rolled his eyes at yet another hint his mother made on a female companion.

"Of course, I wouldn't dream of not inviting a girl."

"Very well, shall we have our meal, I have to wake up quite early to prepare for tomorrow night."

A/N I'll update soon since I know how infuriating it is when an author doesn't update for like another week or two.

PS: keep those reviews coming lovelies 
