Simply Irresistible

Ch.9

Hermione looked up at him rolling her eyes.

"And you wonder why I'm suspicious you're gay."

"But I appreciate the female body too much to be so." He replied cheekily. "You think we're convincing them?" Draco whispered into her ear.

Ginny and Harry shared looks as Hermione and Draco whispered to each other. It looked like they were whispering endearments.

"You do look beautiful Mrs. Potter." Draco said looking up.

Ginny gave a small sound of surprise. "No Weaslette?" She said her eyes twinkling.

"Only if you surprise me or annoy me, I promise." Draco said.

Hermione elbowed him. "Malfoy!"

"No it's okay Hermione, I'll call you Malfoy unless you annoy me, then I'll call you ferret." Ginny smirked.

"Good with me." Draco smirked back.

"Oh dear Merlin." Harry and Hermione said at the same time.

"I guess if my wife can be civil, I should be able to, too." Harry resigned as he brought hjs hand out to shake.

"Only if it's not too hard for you Potter." Draco said dryly as he shook Harry's hand.

"Be good." Hermione whacked his arm.

"Sheesh woman haven't people told you before that violence doesn't solve anything."

Harry had to grin t that. He was one of the few that had told her that before when she would whack him with one of her numerous, dictionary sized books.

"Oh look, Blaise you found everyone." Luna said as she handed Blaise a drink.

"Thanks Luna." Blaise said.

"You let her get you a drink? How gentlemanly is that." Draco elbowed him.

"Oh no, I wanted to see the Pohydrenpites over by the drink table." Luna explained.

Harry, Ginny, Hermione, and Draco all looked at each other.

"I'm not going to even ask what they are." Draco said under his breath. Hermione silently agreed with him.

"Oh and I found our seats, Harry Ginny you can sit with us, apparently the other couple that was supposed to sit, are giving birth. I hope they guard against Yeuliries. You know, they like to make…"

"Yes Luna, please lead the way." Blaise said cutting her off as he offered an arm.

"Oh of course." Luna said taking her arm.

"But Hermione, we already have assigned seats as does everybody else." Harry said.

"She's not seating anywhere near Weasley." Draco said. "Wait until I get a seat and some… what is it muggles say, popling?"

"Popcorn." Harry and Hermione both answered.

Blaise had to laugh. "Oh yes, I do want to see Hermione's rage in action as long as it's not on me of course. Hermione you think you could turn him into a bludger? I've been meaning to practice my swing again."

"Me too." Ginny said enthusiastically as she raised her hand.

"I would've never thought I'd see the day that I would sit at the gala with the Potters." Draco whispered into Hermione's ear.

"I don't think you're the only one. Harry doesn't believe it either."

Then both looked across the table at Harry. He looked a little off.
