Review: come on, you know you want to….I'll give you a cookie

Hermione sat on her couch as she read the daily prophet as her house mate Ginny Weasley sat on the couch next to hers reading a muggle magazine. They had been house mates since Ginny graduated out of Hogwarts, which was now three years ago. Harry had married Luna the summer after her graduation and he and Ron had just finished their auror training. Ron and Lavender were happily married for over two years now with a baby on the way. She on the other hand was single and happy and just got a job as a healer immediately after she finished training and she was supposed to start working on Monday and it was already Friday. Hermione and Ginny were sitting at a local coffee shop drinking a cup of coffee after she was dragged by Ginny to go shopping for new robes for her job.

"So 'Moine any guy caught your eye yet?" Ginny asked as she wiggled her eyebrows suggestively.

"No, not really I haven't got time for it." Hermione said causing Ginny to almost choke on her coffee.

"How can you not have time to date? You're not getting any younger you know." Hermione smiled at her friend. Yes she knew that she wasn't getting any younger but she had just started her career and she was just turning twenty in a couple of months. By her means, she had a lot of time, and she was not one to go rushing ahead before planning; she usually left that to Ginny. Besides, there were some things that were harder to get over than others; but that will be left for another time because she didn't want Ginny to see her gloomy.

By three in the afternoon, they had returned to their flat only to find somebody lounged on their sofa. Hermione rolled her eyes when she realized that it was none other than Malfoy. They had become something akin to friends after the war when he joined their side. He usually came to their flat without being asked to or without telling them that he was dropping by. She had noticed something going on between him and Ginny, but that will be left for her to deal with later.

"Why do you always come uninvited?" She sighed as she sat on the sofa next to his sighing, Ginny following suit.

"That's because we're friends therefore giving me the right to drop by when I feel like it." He replied nonchalantly while watching Ginny.

"So how have you been Draco?"

"Well I've been doing fine really, trying to not get trampled by my overly obsessed fans." He said flashing her his famous Malfoy smirk.

She rolled her eyes. "Good to see that you are still conceited as ever I see.".

"Love that's why you are attracted to me, neither of you can resist my irresistible charm." Draco said smirking at Hermione. She rolled her eyes at him while Ginny sat there blushing. Draco insisted on calling her love, which always pissed off Harry and Ron which he thought was highly bastard.

"So what brings you here today?" Ginny asked.

"Yes, that. Well, I was wondering if you two would accompany me as my dates for a ball that I'm throwing and you have to come dressed in muggle attire and I won't let you come on the hand of another guy." Draco said raising his nose in the air defiantly causing Hermione to laugh. He always made her laugh.

"My, my being selfish I see." Hermione said smirking at him.

"Well I have to out do everybody since it is MY ball you know? Can't have somebody showing off besides me of course, and what better way than my lovely friends hmm?" He asked raising an eyebrow.

Hermione laughed when she heard Ginny say 'typical Malfoy' and seeing Draco glare at her. Both she and Ginny agreed to go and they erupted into a conversation about what they were going to buy and where the ball was being held. Their conversation was interrupted a little bit later when they heard a loud 'pop' indicating that somebody had just apparated into their flat. Looking behind them they saw that it was Harry and Ron who, like Malfoy came in without sending notice and they stood there grinning from ear to ear.

"Hey Hermione hi Ginny and the uninvited guest –as usual- Malfoy." Harry said nodding in their direction.

"Now, now Potter better behave or else you and Weasley over here will be the uninvited guests at my ball that I'm throwing." Draco smirked and Harry and Ron smiled, then Ron frowned remembering that it meant his wife would want to go shopping and he would have to deal with all the shopping bags a whole day of walking about going from store to store.

"What's wrong with you now Ron?" Ginny asked as Ron threw them a worried look.

"Well, this means that I would have to take Lavender shopping." Ron replied. "For Harry it's not a problem cause his wife just gets what she wants but then Lav would want to buy the whole damn store." Everybody laughed at his discomfort, but laughed even harder when Lavender appeared behind Ron.

He turned around slowly to face his wife, his face coloring almost matching his red hair. Hermione noticed that old habits die hard, and for Ron it was obvious because he never shut up when he was supposed to. Lavender began tapping her foot waiting for Ron to say something but this only made him more nervous, giving his wife a nervous smile.

"Hi Lav, sweetheart you know that it's partially true." He squeaked then disapparated before she could cause any harm to him causing everybody to laugh even harder because of the strange situation.

"Well, I came here to invite the two of you and of course Draco to Dinner at a restaurant with Ron and myself along with Harry and Luna. It's next Saturday at the Blue Note feel free to bring dates too if you'd like." With that said and everybody accepting, she disapparated with a loud 'pop' everybody knowing that she was going to deal with her husband.

Soon they all dispersed leaving Hermione, Ginny and Draco who Hermione noticed was looking at Ginny strangely. There was something going on, or maybe it seemed that way because she was laughing so hard.

Hermione smiled at her friends, realizing that nothing could mess this up for her. Apparently she was wrong.
