 Chapter 16
Hermione tried to edge away from Scott, but he already had his arm around her. He gave her a long, passionate kiss. She pulled away after what seemed like forever.
"Scott! You know I have a boyfriend!"
"So? I have a girlfriend. Big deal!" Scott went in again, but Hermione warded him off.
"I can't believe you think I'm the type of girl that would cheat-"
"Oh Hermione, it's not cheating if they don't find out!" Scott went to kiss Hermione again.

Ashley could barely restrain Draco. He was practically blowing steam out his nose. Then, inspiration struck.
"Draco, stop for a second. Can you speak in an Irish accent?"
"Of course I can, I'm British. What does that have to do with anything?" Draco's suprise tossed him off balance.
"Ok, follow my lead."
"Oy me lads and lasses, top of the marnin' to ya all!" A boy with bleach blonde hair strode in on their table. Hermione gasped with relief when she realized it was Draco, but Ashley noticed and gave her the cut-off sign. "Wut a cute couple, isn't they me childe?"
"Ay, so they are! An' a foine bunch, ta be sure!" Ashley came in and sat next to Scott. " Hello handsome!"
"Look, I don't know who you are, or what you're doing here, but leave immedietely!" Scott said, getting exasperated. Draco shook his head and put an arm around Hermione. "Leave her alone!"
"Oy, but what a foine lassie is she? Come to Shawn baby!" Draco pulled Hermione onto his lap and began to stroke her hair. Scott's face turned red.
"Now, stop that!" Scott reached out to hit Draco, but Ashley stopped him.
"Babe, shouldn't you be doing that? I know, give us a kiss an' call it a day." Ashley gave Scott a soul-kiss, and from across the table, Hermione could see her look of revulsion. She giggled.
"Alright Hermione, if this is what you like, then fine! Stay with these two idiot Irishmen! I'm outta here! Your friends can pick up the check!" Scott stormed out of the resturant, cursing and blowing up a storm.
"So, do I get to kiss my favorite Irishman?" Hermione asked.
"Aye, so help you if ye don't!" Draco laughed, and kissed her on the nose. "Now, how about dinner? I'm famished!"
