Granger Danger

The reception for the Zabini wedding was crazy. There were so many people, all of them dressed to the nines, and elegant as could be. Hermione felt a little out of place. Draco instantly spotted Blaise and escorted Hermione towards him. "Blaise, mate!" He called with a grin.

"Ah, Draco! Come to congratulate me on my new daddy?" He asked with heavy sarcasm. "And who is your lovely date this evening? Is that you, Hermione?" He asked.

"Uhm, yes, I didn't know that you knew me." She answered.

"Darling, I think everyone in the wizarding world knows you. Did you forget that you are famous?" He asked. Hermione looked at him with question. "The wizarding war, you tromping around with Potter, beating the crap out of dark wizards? Any of this ringing a bell?" He asked.

"Oh, right…" Hermione was finding the conversation awkward.

"You're such an idiot Blaise." Draco muttered. "Hermione, would you care to dance with me?" He asked gallantly.

"I would love to." Hermione answered. "Thank you, that was awkward, wasn't it?" She asked.

"Yeah, because Blaise is an idiot, I'm sorry about that." He sighed and slid Hermione into a proper hold for the waltz that was playing, and started them off dancing.

"Wow Draco, you are a natural, where did you learn to dance?" She asked with a grin.

"Well you know us high society kids come waltzing out of the womb." He answered in a pompous drawl. Hermione laughed. "I learnt at dance school of course. My mother made me take dance since I was three. A gentleman must be light on his feet." He recited. A look crossed Draco's face, an unsure look. "You will never believe how stupid I am." He groaned. Hermione lifted an eyebrow. "My mother is here. Of course she is here she is friends with Gloria, Mrs. Zabini." Draco explained. "Shit! Stupid me."

"Calm down Draco, I'm sure it'll be fine. We can leave or you can just introduce me, whatever you like." Draco's worry seemed to evaporate.

"You're really okay with this?" He asked. Hermione nodded. He blew out a breath. "Let's just finish this dance, then we can go congratulate Gloria, and I'll formally introduce you to my mother. I believe you have met her before." He said his features darkening. Hermione brought a hand to his face.

"Come on now Draco, we've been over this. It's fine." He nodded tersely. Hermione settled her hand back on his shoulder and leant up quickly to kiss him. When she pulled away his face looked a little less ominous. They twirled around for a couple minutes more before the music ended. Draco bowed his head to Hermione, and she gave a quick dipping curtsy, as was customary before leaving the dance floor. Draco swept Hermione towards perhaps the most beautiful woman she had ever seen. She was tall and slim, her dark hair cascading in waves down her back. Her dark eyes lit up with happiness; her dress looked amazing, and her make-up was impeccable.

"Gloria!" Draco called, raising a hand and smiling at her. "You look wonderful as always! What is this though, your ninth husband?" He asked cheekily.

"Only my sixth Draco, don't believe everything you hear." She grinned and reached out to give Draco a hug. "Sassy little thing." She laughed and released him.

"Yes I know Gloria." He smirked. "May I introduce Miss Hermione Granger, my lovely date for this evening." He gestured towards Hermione who smiled and held a hand out to the bride.

"It's a pleasure to meet you Mrs. Zabini."

"It's a pleasure to meet you too Miss Granger. You do me a great honour by being here, it's not every day I get to meet a hero of mine." She grinned widely. "Your work last year with those Nordic runes was incredible!" Hermione raised an eyebrow.

"You are interested in runes?" Hermione asked.

"Very much so!" Gloria and Hermione chatted for a while about runes, and Hermione exchanged contact information with the older woman, promising to get in touch.


"Well you are quite charming aren't you?" Draco asked with a grin as they walked away from Gloria.

"I try." Hermione sighed, mirroring Draco's grin. He looked to his left and a steely look entered his eyes.

"I hope you are ready to charm my mother, she is looking right at us." He sighed. "And coming this way." Hermione looked to see a regal looking Narcissa Malfoy walking toward them. Draco rearranged his features and smiled. "Mother, how are you? You look well." He kissed his mother on the cheek.

"Draco, how nice to see you here, I didn't think you were coming." She smiled, her eyes drifted towards Hermione. "And who might your lovely date be?" There was a slight strain in her voice.

"Mother, this is Hermione Granger, Hermione, my mother, Narcissa." He introduced the pair to each other.

"It's nice to meet you Mrs. Malfoy." She smiled.

"And you, Miss Granger. I wonder if you would mind terribly if I stole my son for a dance?" She asked.

"Of course not." Hermione answered. Draco gave her a smile that clearly said sorry, and escorted his mother to the dance floor. Watching them dance together was like watching two swans glide across the surface of lake. They were so graceful.

"Hermione is that you?" A delighted voice asked from just behind her. She turned around to see none other than Luna Lovegood smiling at her.

"Luna! My Goodness, what are you doing here?" She smiled, hugging the blonde girl.

"Blaise invited me, we are…kind of seeing each other." She smiled dreamily. Hermione could see that she was genuinely happy about it.

"Well congratulations that's wonderful."

"Thank you! Is that Draco Malfoy I saw you with?" She asked. Hermione tensed slightly, worrying that Luna wouldn't understand.

"Yes, we are dating." She watched Luna to see her reaction. Her face blanked out for a second, and then Hermione could see her mind working behind her eyes. Luna bust out in a smile.

"That's great! I like Draco, he's become an alright guy. I've hung out with him loads of times." She explained when Hermione raised an eyebrow. "Blaise and Draco are good friends so when they hang out sometimes I tag along." Hermione nodded, relieved that Luna wasn't going to try and talk her out of dating Draco.

The song in the background changed to something upbeat, and Luna beamed. "Dance with me Hermione!" Hermione couldn't refuse the childlike happiness that was on Luna's face. So Hermione followed Luna to the dance floor and they started bopping around in a ridiculous fashion the song that was playing.


Across the room Draco had finished dancing with his mother and was talking to Blaise. "Granger is looking good, you're a lucky dog." He winked at Draco.

"Do you ever think of anything else Blaise?" Draco asked.

"You know I am just joking mate. You're happy with her, I can tell." The two boys watched the two girls dancing bout like fools and both boys smiled.

"It's kind of scary Blaise, I think I might be falling in love…falling in love with Hermione Granger." Blaise laughed.

"Granger Danger!" Draco looked at Blaise and laughed.

"You are such an ass. If you'll excuse me I'm off to find that danger." Blaise smiled happily as he watched his friend walk toward. He smiled wider as Luna bounded towards him.

Draco reached Hermione and she grinned at him. "I was wondering where you got off to."

"I was just talking with Blaise." Draco said. "Would you care to dance with me? It's a slow dance so I can feel you up without anyone noticing." He winked. Hermione laughed but nodded. Draco took her hand and led her to the dance floor. Hermione laid her head on Draco's chest and sighed, her arms going around him.

"Your mother didn't seem too happy to see me." Hermione said in what she hoped was a light voice.

"She didn't say anything to me about you. It wouldn't make any difference to me though, if she didn't want me seeing you I still would." Hermione nodded against Draco's chest and felt all thoughts of Narcissa slide from her mind and Draco's hand slid lower down her back. She leant back and grinned at Draco.

"I think I might need some air Mr. Malfoy. Would you care to escort me onto the balcony?" She asked a mischievous glint popping into her eyes.

"I would love to." Draco responded huskily pulling Hermione towards the balcony doors.
