Las Vegas

Part 1

"Hermione, Where are we going again?"

Hermione rolled her eyes and turned in her seat towards Draco, "Las Vegas" she replied.

"Oh"

She turned back towards the window, watching the clouds fly slowly by below her. The Sun shone into her window, causing her to squint. She loved flying, In a plane that is, not on a Hippogriff. Not like her 3rd year. But that was a long time ago, and now it's just her and Draco, on a plane to America.

… "Hermione?"

She turned again to see Draco still staring at her. "Yes?"

"Are we there yet?"

"No, we have another 7 hours yet" and before he could reply again, she turned back towards the window.

"We could of just apparated, would of been so much quicker" Draco muttered under his breath.

Not bothering to turn back round, she said "I wanted to fly" and she did, for once in her life she felt free. The war had finished and now was her time, to do what she wanted. She didn't expect to be bringing Draco Malfoy with her though.

"Is this thing safe?" Draco snarled

Deciding to ignore Draco once and for all, she got up and made her way to the back of the plane. It was a quiet flight, so seats were empty. The whole of the back row was free, so she sunk into the seats, rested her head against the back and slowly drifted into sleep.

oOo

"Well, I must say, I am glad to be on solid ground again" Draco drawled.

They had arrived at Las Vegas, and were patiently (Impatiently in Draco's case) waiting for their luggage to come round.

"Couldn't I just Accio the luggage to come to us?" He whined, staring at the rotating conveyor belt. It was empty, apart from one random umbrella going round and round.

"If I see that umbrella one more time I swear I will - Draco started, but couldn't finish due to Hermione putting her hand over his mouth.

"Shhh" she glared at him "We're surrounded by Muggles"

Draco looked around, and luckily got the hint.

"Pfft" He replied. "Ca yo remv yor hnd plz"

She dropped her hand, and flicked her eyes back to the conveyor belt. She must admit, she was getting impatient, and the heat was getting to her. She wanted nothing more than to get to her hotel and relax with a cool drink.

"Thank you" Draco muttered, watching as the umbrella came into view again.

After what seemed like ages, the first suitcases started to appear and everyone started to surround the belt. Hermione was having trouble seeing. She looked over at Draco, who was now staring at some Muggle girls in the corner and sighed.

"Draco, go and see if our cases have come round yet" She said, giving him a little push towards the conveyor belt.

He stumbled, but didn't respond. Slowly he made his way over and stood near the front of the crowd. Suddenly he saw his bag and tried to make a grab for it, missing and falling onto the belt.

"Hermione! Heeeeeelpp" He yelled, slowly moving along the belt.

Hermione forced back a laugh, and ran forwards to help. She got to the other side of the belt and waited for Draco to come around. People were laughing at him, and pointing. Once he had reached her side, she grabbed his hand and pulled him off.

Red in the face, and looking extremely awkward, Draco muttered "You can get the luggage" and stalked off towards some nearby chairs.

Still trying not to laugh, Hermione managed to get the bag and put it down next to her, waiting for the others to appear. She glanced at Draco, who in turn was staring back at her, his face was still red. After getting the remaining suitcases and chucking them on a trolley, she made her way over to where Draco was sitting.

"Are you ok?" she smirked.

He looked up at her and glared, "I can't deal with Muggle inventions" he sighed.

"I noticed" she laughed "Come on, we need to find our bus"

The Strip

Hermione had read about Las Vegas and the famous strip so many times, but it didn't even come close to seeing it in real life. They arrived at night time and all they could see were lights, all different colours in all different directions. Casino's and Hotels flanked both sides of the strip, the famous pyramid hotel could be seen in the distance.

She was in awe, she thought Hogwarts was spectacular but this was something different, something more. She looked at Draco, he was also staring at the lights with a look of amazement on his face and Hermione realised he hasn't been anywhere like this before.

"What do you think?" She asked.

He looked at her and smiled. Maybe bringing him along wasn't a bad thing after all,

She did have her reservations at first, especially after the 7 years of hell he gave her. But she needed a break, and didn't want go alone, Malfoy was the only option. Especially as he was on the run from Death Eaters and his Parents.

They got their cases of the bus, and made their way into the Hotel Lobby. Hermione sorted out their rooms, They were staying in separate rooms. They were friends, but not that much. After thanking the receptionist and taking the keys she motioned Draco over to the lifts.

"What's this?" He said, eyeing the lift with suspicion.

"It's a lift. It takes us places" The doors pinged open, and Hermione made her way in. Turning round she saw Draco was still stood outside looking apprehensive.

"Are you coming or what?" she hissed.

She stepped forward and pulled him in, the doors slowly closing behind him. Hermione had never got this close to Draco before, and she had to admit, he smelt nice. His expensive aftershave lingered on his shirt and wafted towards her every time he moved. She still had her hand on the front of his clothes, something he quickly noticed.

He cleared his throat loudly, and Hermione jumped. She quickly released his clothes and pretended to be studying the lift buttons. Pull yourself together, she thought. He's still a Malfoy.
