I really, really hate this chapter. I may completely redo it at some point. But for now, this is how it ends.

So now I have been humiliated about kissing drag queens on the Ministry IM, am I forgiven?

Fine. Are you still my date for the Summer Dance the Ministry's holding tomorrow?
To: Harry

Subject: Re: So…
I'm going shopping with Hermione beforehand. I'll meet you there at 8.
SUMMER SOLSTICE DANCE
The Ministry want you to let your hair down…but be on time for work on Monday!
"God," Draco said, "That banner is cheesy."
"Burn it to the ground!" Ginny giggled happily from her spot on the floor, waving her glass aggressively so the fluid inside flowed dangerously to the edge.
"Can you help me get her up?" Hermione panted, struggling to drag Ginny's body off the ground.
"Ginny?" A voice said incredulously behind them, "What happened?"
Hermione turned round to give Harry a brief smile, before telling him grimly, "Blaise spiked the punch."
"Blaise is a funny name," Ginny said, swinging her arms round Harry's neck. "Blaaaaaaaaaise….Buh-llllllllllaise…Blaiiiiiise…."
"Hey," Harry said delightedly. "You're…touching me!"
"I luff you," Ginny murmured happily into the crook of his neck. "But you were very naughty." She slapped him lightly on the cheek, "But it's ok….because Seamus is a boooooy."
"Wow," Draco remarked. "She can really handle her alcohol, huh?"
Hermione smacked him on the arm, "Ssh. I seem to remember you falling in the pool at our engagement party after one pineapple cocktail."
"I didn't fall. I was pushed." He replied indignantly. "Parkinson was pissed."
"How is Pansy?" Hermione asked. "Has she got to New York yet?"
"Left yesterday." Draco responded, "I heard Neville got given a heads-up by some stewardness he joined the Mile High Club with during his flight. He's heading to Vegas to escape."
"Very Gryffindor of him," Hermione replied with a smile.
"You're one to talk, Miss Engagement Scam." Draco smirked, before whispering softly in her ear, "Come dance with me."
He led her to the dance floor by the hand, and swept her in his arms as a new song began.
"Where did Potter and the drunken fool go?" He asked as they moved to the music. His response came from Seamus, who was trying out a modern foxtrot with a clean shaven, piercing-free Ron. Breaking free from their embrace, Seamus turned to Draco to inform him, "I think they locked themselves in the mens bathroom a while ago."
"Finally," Draco muttered. "The ducks will leave me alone."
"I heard they were going to have duck theme for their wedding, get everyone to dress up…" Hermione smiled mischievously.
"Oh, God," Draco groaned. "Stop talking."
"Make me," Hermione lifted her head up towards his with a smile.
"Gladly," he replied with a similar smile, bending down to press his lips firmly against hers.

And it's finished! It's finished!
Also, I just read HP7. I would like to say 'OMG! HOW COULD SHE?' about certain things, 'YAY' about one thing (although OMGZ, CHEESE! about something related to that one thing), and there was also a line in there about poisonous ducks which amused me due to the duck themage of this fic.
Also, I'd really love a bajillion reviews for this. That would be awesome. Whee! Get me to...1000!
