Simply Irresistible

Ch.10

"We're dancing." Sadie said looking at Ron expectantly.

Ron hadn't taken his eyes off Harry and Hermione dancing. He mumbled a no, preferring to watch.

"Ron, come on. Please. For me?" Sadie said lean into him; she brushed her breast just slightly over his arm.

!

Harry just looked at her then laughed. "You aren't serious."

"Completely."

"Virago. Hmmm that's actually a good description."

"Harry!" Hermione cried.

Harry gave a boyish grin. "I'm kidding."

Hermione couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.

"I'm sorry but may I interrupt?"

Both Hermione and Harry looked up.

"Hey Ken." Hermione smiled.

"Hamilton." Harry nodded in greeting.

"May I have the next dance my fair co-worker?" He teased.

Harry looked at Ken then at Hermione. Then muttered something under his breath.

Hermione gave a laugh. "Of course."

Harry handed her over to him saying that he owed his wife a dance now and something else about getting out of the ring of fire.

Just as Hermione touched his arm, a new song came on.

It was an upbeat song.

"Oh god." Hermione said hiding her face, recognizing the song.

"Well, I know a pure blood certainly didn't pick out the soundtrack." Ken said ruefully.

Hermione laughed. "I'm pretty sure about that too."

!

"Who the bloody hell is that?" Two guys said at the same time. But neither heard the other as both were at different ends of the dance floor.

"You look radiant Hermione. Malfoy's the envy of every man here this evening."

Hermione blushed. "You're exaggerating."

"Not at all." He took a step forward as she took one back.

"I'm not trying to be nosy, but I thought you said you hate dancing."

"Oh I do. But… I just wanted to dance with the most beautiful woman here."

Hermione raised her brow at her. "Uh huh."

"Okay, I may have an ulterior motive."

"And?"

"Well you remember Rosie from Communications?"

"Oh my goodness, yes. She's obsessed with you. To a frightening extent really."

"Yeah well, earlier today after I saw you, she ambushed me."

"What kind of ambush?"

"Let's just say the kind that I will need a whole bottle of Listerine to get rid of. I just saw her coming toward me. I looked for a way to hide, but it was too late. So I figured that this was going to be my best escape."

Hermione was still giggling when Ken dipped her slightly.

"Ahem."

Hermione and Ken stopped dancing to see who the person was.
