Y/n's POV
"Hey Y/n, ready to go?"

"Yeah Harry, let's go," I respond with a smile.

After that night at the Malfoy Manor, Draco walked me to every one of my classes and was at my side every chance he got. I kind of enjoyed it as I do find his company soothing and he's my husband, of course I love having him around.

It's the weekend again now and I'm heading to Hogsmeade with the Golden trio. Of course, it took a lot of convincing with Draco, but one little late night adventure in an empty classroom changed his mind real quick. I never liked having that act of intimacy in a public place, but I'll admit that Dray was right. The thrill makes it a tad bit more exciting.

Once we enter, Ron, Hermione, and I start seating at a perfectly clean table when Harry calls us over and plops down on one that still has dishes and mess from the previous customer.

"No, no. Sit next to me."

Us three exchange glances at each other. "O-okay," Ron says.

A lanky kid asks for our orders to which  Hermione responds, "Four Butterbeers, Splash of ginger in two of them, please."

As the waiter walks away, I notice Harry is still intensely staring at Slughorn. I notice him shift his gaze a little, and so I turn around to see a certain platinum-blonde in a black suit walk out. What was Draco doing here?

Just before I get out of my seat to chase him down, "Aw, bloody hell." I turn my attention to Ron, and then at the direction where he's looking.

"Oh, honestly, Ronald. They're just holding hands... and snogging," Hermione says.

"I'd like to leave now."

"Leave? You can't be serious."

"That happens to be my sister."

"So, What if she looked over here and saw you snogging me? Would you expect her to get up and leave?"

Ron blinks, being utterly speechless. I give a quick glance and smirk at Hermione, in which she gives me a 'stop it' stare.

"Harry, m'boy." Slughorn basically shouts. From the corner of my eye, I see Ginny jump and pull away from Dean. I steal a quick glance at Harry who's still looking at Ginny. Connecting the dots, I look down and smile to myself — Harry must've smelt Ginny in class when we worked on that Amortentia potion.

Slughorn approaches with an overflowing mug in hand. Harry rises from his chair. An action that has Hermione and I look at each other with amused curiosity.

"Hello, sir. Wonderful to see you." With her eyebrows burrowed, Hermione turns to Ron and I silently mouths: 'wonderful to see you?'

"So what brings you here, sir?," Harry continues to ask.

"Oh, the Three Broomsticks and I go way back. Longer than I'd care to admit. In fact, I remember when it was simply One Broomstick!" As Slughorn laugh heartedly, Harry joins in. His mug spills over, splattering the table.
