Chapter 60: Slughorn's Dinner
"Did I tell you," I said as I closed my book.
"That I was invited?"
He stopped fixing his tie. "By who?"
"Slughorn. He invited me over for dinner," then I noticed Draco's questioning look. "Not just me. Hermione and Harry too."
"Oh," he relaxed. "Then?"
"Then I was hoping if you could be there as my date to—"
"No." He replied.
"Fine," I smirked. "I'll just ask Cormac..."
He tensed up then let out a growl. "I'm not letting you."
"Why? Cormac is very...handsome." I teased.
He stormed up to me. "Well, maybe he should be your boyfriend then."
I walked to him then pulled his tie. "Then come with me. Please?"
He took a deep breath. "Fine."
I grinned then twirled his tie. "Don't be jealous, dear."
He huffed. "I'm not."
"Don't worry, I would never dare choose him over you."
He smirked then leaned down. "I'm glad."
I pulled his tie, making him inches away from mine.
Then I pressed a soft passionate kiss on his perfect lips.
"Go with me. Pretty please?"

"So how about you, Ms. Granger? What does your family do in the muggle world?" Slughorn asked.
"Well," Hermione started. "My parents are dentist. They tend to people's teeth."
"Fascinating," Slughorn said. "And is that considered a dangerous profession?"
"No," Hermione said then smiled. "Although, one boy named Robbie Fenwick did bit my father once. He needed ten stitches."
"How about you, Ms. Rosecharm?" Slughorn asked me.
I cleared my throat. "My parents once work at the Ministry of Magic."
"Well, I'm sorry to ask. Your parents are pretty much like you. They excel in every class. Your father may be a troublemaker, but he is one intelligent fellow- ah! Ms. Weasley! Come in, come in." Slughorn said.
"I'm sorry. I'm not usually this late." Ginny said.
I held Draco's hand. "Look at her eyes. They've been fighting again." I whispered.
"We can't be sure." Draco said.
Then Harry stood, making us all look at him.
This is awkward.
"No matter. Just in time for dessert. That is, if Elvis left you any." Slughorn jokes then laughed.
I chuckled then went back to eating my ice cream.
Then I looked up then saw Cormac looking at me, licking his fingers seductively.
I coughed uncomfortably then looked away.
Draco noticed this. "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine." I said then glanced back at Cormac who winked at me just now.
I gagged. "Ugh."
Draco glared at Cormac. "I'll show him,"
I looked up. "Wha-"
Draco leaned in then kissed me.
"Draco, not now—"
He slightly bit my lip then pulled away quickly.
"You're mine. Got that?" He whispered then glared at Cormac.
Hermione chuckled at this then nudged Harry, making him turn to me.
"Oh, aren't you the lovebirds! Mr. Malfoy and Ms. Rosecharm." Slughorn grinned.
I smiled nervously. "Yes. Yes we are."
I looked back at Cormac, who quickly looked away.
Draco smirked. "I did my job then."
"Yeah. You did. You scared him." I whispered.
Draco leaned in then whispered, "Now he knows who you belong to."
