Y/n Pov: 

After I had my moment, I went to Professor Slughorn's office for a dinner/get together with people he invited over. We all had ice cream in front of us which was really good so I'm not complaining. 

"So Cormac, do you see anything of your Uncle Tiberius these days? Professor Slughorn asked. "Yes, sir. In fact I'm meant to go hunting with him and the Minister Of Magic over the holidays." He answered. 

"Well, be sure to give them both my best. What about your uncle Belby? For those who don't know Marcus, is uncle invented the Wolfsbane potion, is he working on anything new?" Slughorn asked the boy Marcus who was eating like a pig. 

"I don't know, he and my dad don't get along my dad says potions are rubbish." Marcus said still shoving food down his throat. "You Miss Black? Anything interesting?" Professor Slughorn asked me. "Uh, nothing much, just got a perfect on my Transfiguration class." I said making him nod and smiled. 

"You do remind me of someone." He said reminiscing. "Who?" I asked. "Elizabeth Witlock." He said making me realized who he was talking about. "Thats nice to hear." I said a bit awkwardly as I continued eating the desert. "What about you Miss Granger? What exactly does your family do in the muggle world?" Slughorn asked Hermione. 

"Umm, my parents are dentists.." Hermione said but everyone looked at her confused which flustered her. "Uh they tend to people's teeth..." Hermione explained. " Fascinating! And is that considered a dangerous profession?" Slughorn asked again. 

"No... Although, one boy, Robbie Fenwick did bite my father once. He needed 10 stitches." Hermione laughed awkwardly but no one understood her... 

As we all stood quiet we all heard a door creak open. "Ah. Ms. Weasley, come in, come in!" Slughorn said. As I looked at Ginny I see her eyes were bloodshot red. "They've been fighting lately..." Hermione said to Harry and I. "Sorry. I'm not usually late." Ginny said before Harry suddenly stand up looking at Ginny. 

"Harry..." I called Harry as I pulled his shirt so he can sit down. "What?" Harry asked Hermione who was staring at him. "Nothing.." Hermione said before looking away back to her desert. As I kept on eating I looked up to see the boy Cormac staring at Hermione licking his fingers to remove the ice cream off his figures which made me look away in disgust. "Someone likes you..." I said to Hermione who looks up and locks eyes with the boy then looks away and leans over to me. "Ew..." She said making me giggle at her. 

-Time Skip-

We were all having breakfast at the Great Hall and getting ready for another Quidditch game with Gryffindor and Slytherins. Ever since Draco and I had our task we've been very distance with our friends and only stayed together since we needed each other. " So any luck?" I asked Draco who was staring off in space. "Yea I found it, I just need more people to not find me..." Draco said.

"Well, Professor Slughorn has a party tomorrow. I know Harry and Hermione will go and they'll bring more people with them so they are out of the way..." I said taking a bit of my food. " Love I'm a bit worried for this..." Draco said. "I know, your part is almost over... I promise." I said kissing his cheek before both of us started eating our food. 

"Who's that! Whats he wearing?!" One of the Slytherin's yelled tauntingly at Ron who was getting ready for his game. "Love I'll quickly go to the trio a bit." I said getting up from my chair but was stopped by Draco who held my top. "I love you." Draco said then pulls me down so he could kiss my lips. "I love you too." I said stand back up then laid my hand on his shoulders before heading to the Gryffindor's table. 

" Hello guys. Uh Ron... Good luck." I said taking a seat next to Ron. "Thanks Y/n... So uh how was it then?" Ron said. "How was what?" Hermione asked. "Your dinner party?" Ron said. "Pretty boring, actually. Though I think Harry enjoyed desert." Hermione said smirking at Harry. 

"Right." I said chuckling softly knowing what Hermione meant. "Slughorn's having Christmas-do, you know, and were meant to bring someone." Hermione said looking at Ron. "I expect you'll  be bringing Mclaggen? He's in the Slug club, isn't he? Ron said with a disgusted look when he said Mclaggen. "Actually, I was going to ask you..." Hermione said. "Really..." Ron said with a disappointed tone. Then as we all awkwardly stayed quiet, a girl from Gryffindor named Lavender walked over to our side of the table. 

"Good luck today Ron... I know you'll be brilliant! Lavender said smiling widely looking at Ron but then glared at Hermione and I. "I don't like her..." I said abruptly. " I'm resining... After today's match..." Ron said making us all look at each other in shock. "Have it your way... Juice?" Harry said handing Ron and cup with juice. 

"Hello everyone." Luna popped out of no were sitting next to me with a lion's face on her head. "You look dreadful Ron. Is that why you put something in his cup?" Luna said casually making us all turn to Harry. "Liquid Luck..." Hermione said as we all see Harry put the bottle in his pocket. 

"Don't drink it Ron!" Hermione scolded Ron as he picks up the cup. He took a moment then drank the cup not listening to Hermione. "You could be expelled from that!" Hermione said looking at Harry. "I don't know what your talking about..." Harry said obviously lying to Hermione as he looks at Ron grinning at him. 

As we all look at Ron to see him smiling widely then turned to me and kissed my cheek and spoke. "Come on Harry, we've got a game to win!" Ron said making Harry get off their seats and head out leaving Hermione and I confused and me flustered. 

-Time Skip-

I didn't watch the game that day since I was very worried for Draco. I went to the Astronomy tower where he would always hang out when he is in deep thoughts. 

"Hey, I thought you'll be at stupid Weasley's party?" Draco asked as I walked over to him as he looks out of the Astronomy tower. "Well I was more worried about you... Obviously we didn't win but it's fine..." I said wrapping my arms around Draco's shoulder as we stare out the Astronomy tower. 

We didn't say a word and just let the scenery take over. "Love, I found out this summer we will be going to the Manor..." Draco said. "Yea thats fine... I can tell Lupin about it..." I said as Draco turned and kiss my cheek. "You should go and rest love, you have a dinner party." Draco said to me. "Alright, tell me what you found after the party." I said. "Of course, then once we are done with it, lets talk about Dumbledore..." Draco said with guilt in his eyes knowing how much we both didn't want this.
