Simply Irresistible

Ch.27

Draco stopped her by placing his lips on her. "I thought you would've been pretty pissed at me if I agreed to the match. Being the trophy and all."

"Oh I was pretty pissed but not at you. The thing about Ron is that he's stubborn. All of us Gryffindors are. If you didn't compete, Ron would've called you a coward, which quite frankly you DID have a reputation of being a LONG time ago."

"Please tell me what's really on your mind." Draco said dryly. Highly offended in fact.

Hermione laughed. "Draco, you're not the same as the school boy you were all those years ago." Hermione gave him a quick peck on the lips. "You're now the man that I'm in love with. And as the woman who loves you, I've gathered some of the best quidditch players that have ever graced us, to help you beat Ron and knock some sense back into him. However if you do lose, I will be pissed at you." Hermione nodded, quite serious.

"Are you guys done making googly eyes at each other yet?" Blaise asked. "Cause most of us here have been starving while we had to wait for Draco!"

Draco couldn't believe how many people were sitting at his dining room table. He could hear what his- no, Lucius would say if he ever saw all the people that were sitting at his table causing such a ruckus and plates constantly being passed to and forth between all the Quidditch players. All the former Gryffindors, whom he would've called Blood traitors, then to top it off, two thirds of the Golden trio. It made him grin a little as he could see just what Lucius's expression would be if he saw them all together.

Draco felt someone touch his left hand. He looked up and his grin broke into a full blown smile. "You're amazing you know that?" He told Hermione as he took her hand and kissed it.

Hermione blushed as the table had quieted, seeing the show of affection.

"Okay now I'm really mentally scarred, I just saw Malfoy have a human heart. Are you guys sure nothing possessed his body and took him over?" George asked, a little disturbed.

!

Draco couldn't believe that he was actually taking time off work to train with the people that Hermione had handpicked and very obviously guilted into helping him. Merlin he forgot how much fun it was to practice with seriously good players. He really needed to start playing again even if just for fun.

"Okay Malfoy, I'm letting the snitch go now." Ginny said, explaining slowly, like as if she was talking to a child. "Now you just have to beat my husband on catching it for once. How many more times do I need to release this thing anyway? Just catch the darn thing already!"

Draco glared at Ginny, then turned to look at Harry. "Are pregnant woman always this crabby?"

Harry didn't get to say anything because Ginny interrupted.

"You did not just say that Malfoy! I am not crabby!" Ginny growled.

"Malfoy, just let it go." Harry said, unconsciously putting his hand on Draco's shoulder in a rather friendly gesture. "You do not win when they guilt you with the giving birth speech."

"I hope you two know that the snitch is long gone now." Ginny said staring at them, not being able to hear them but knowing that they were definitely talking about her.

"Gin!" Harry groaned before he shot off, Draco following too, cursing the Mrs. Potter, his muscles were already screaming in pain from the past two hours of trying to catch the snitch before.

"Look I need to see Hermione now," Ron demanded to the Ministry security.

"We're sorry Mr. Weasley, but we have been explicitly told that you are not allowed-"
