She raised an eyebrow at his cheeky response before a radiant smile burst from plush lips. In an attempt to squash it, the young witch pinched her lips together in a strange pucker.
"Eat something very sour?" Ignatius Malfoy, Draco's younger brother and possibly the only younger wizard here who knew of their engagement, teased.
Parvati blinked at him as Hannah Abbott began to blush.

"That would be very nice." Parvati agreed.
As the two waited for the next song to begin, Hannah tittered over the blonde. "Ignatius, the last I heard you were touring Europe. What brought you back?"
"Oh, just some big merger my brother has gotten us into." Iggy explained with a laugh, "Lots to do. Come along, Ms. Patil -" He swept her onto the floor with a flourish and a few of the gossipy witches and wizards relaxed. If she was dancing with the brother of the wizard she was rumored to be with, it couldn't be true - everyone knew how jealous Draco Malfoy was.
