Hermione helped Draco tie his mask back on and slipped hers on. Draco gracefully offered her his arm and smiles at her. She slipped her arm through his before escorting her into the main ballroom. He spun her out to the middle of the dance floor before leading her into a waltz.

Harry looked over at the dance floor from his position next to Ron. "Who is that dancing with Hermione?"

"I dunno 'Arry. I thouh 'uo woulda know who was 'ancn wit' 'Mione."

"Ron, you need to stop talking with your mouth full." Ginny said walking over with Blaise behind her. "Why do you think Hermione left you?"

Ron swallowed, "It was a mutual break up, Ginny."

"So you say. Well according to Harry, you still say her name in your sleep. No wonder you can't keep a girl friend for more than a week." Ginny reached out and smacked Blaise's arm as he started laughing. "Oh shut up Blaise, you were no better before I got to you."

"Oww Ginny!"

"I'm sorry, baby," Ginny kissed his cheek.

"Ginny! You had to bring that up!"

"Yes, I did. Wait, Blaise, isn't that… no that wouldn't be."

"Oh Ginny, it is. He's dancing with Hermione. I told you owe me 10 galleons."

"Who?" Harry asked

"Draco Malfoy."

"What?!"

"Ron! Hermione can take care of herself! That and the vial she took today should work in her favor."

"What vial?"

"Slughorn's vial."

"What was in the vial Ginny?"

Blaise wrapped an arm around Ginny's waist, "Watch your mouth Weasley. I don't care if you're her brother, if you start anything you're messing with me."

"Blaise, its fine. And it was a vial of Felix Felicis for your information Ron."

"Oh, ok… Wait! Why did she take that?"

"Harry, you need to chill. She felt that today was a good day for it."

"But what happens if He tries to do something?"

"This is Hermione we're talking about. She can do pretty much every spell. Malfoy doesn't have a chance if he tried to pull something on her."

Harry snuck away from the bickering siblings and started to drift over to Hermione and Draco.

"Draco, Harry's coming over here."

"Ok."

"You're not going to hurt him or anything, right?"

"Only if you let me."

"Then you can't."

"I'm surprisingly okay with that, 'Mione."

Harry tapped Draco on the shoulder, "May I cut in?"

"Of course," Draco kissed Hermione's hand. "I'll be back."

Harry and Hermione started to dance as Draco walked over to his godfather.

"I'm proud of you Hermione."

"What? Wait, I'm confused."

"I'm glad you took the chance and went for your goal. Hermione, I'm not stupid, I know how you feel about Draco. I may be able to keep secrets but Ginny sure can't."

"Of course. I wonder why I tell her in the first place."

"Because, like me, she is one of your best friends. I also know that you guys knew I was gay before I came out and knew I was fucking her brother before he died and the news broke out"

"Its not my fault you guys forgot the silencing charm." She frowned at his hurt smile. "I'm sorry harry, I didn't mean to make you upset."

"No, I'm actually glad you're talking about him like this, it makes me feel better. Just don't try to set me up with any one just yet."

"Just tell me when you're ready."

The pair clapped politely as the song ended and then preceded to the dining room, were they found Draco, Ginny, Blaise, Luna and Ron at a table. Draco stood and pulled out the chair next to him so Hermione could sit.

"Hello Luna, I didn't see you before," said Harry.

"Yes, I followed a pair of nargles into the garden and Ron happened to be there as well."

The conversing pair never seemed to realize that Blaise and Ginny had gotten up and had disappeared down to the dungeons.

"Hermione?"

"Yes Draco?"

"Do you want to leave this crazy affair?"

"Only if I get a foot massage out of you, stilettos are only good for 2 things, killing vampires and looking pretty."
