A Couple On A Street In Oxford
Outside the cinema on George Street in Oxford stood a couple, it was Christmas eve of 1997. The boy had been dragged by his girlfriend to watch the latest release, Titanic. That evening was the last they would spend together in 1997, he would walk her home and then disapparate to his family home in Wiltshire.
"Well that was bloody awful"
"Shut up, I know you started crying"
"Please Malfoy's don't cry at ridiculous muggle films"
"It's based on a real event you know"
"So?"
"Your so unbelievably heartless sometimes" Hermione tried to hold her stern face, but caved at his grey eyes "You cant tell me you didn't enjoy any of it?"
"Well the bit where she got naked was good" Draco earned a slap for his comment, he sent his signature smirk to his girlfriend.
"Why didn't you like it then?"
"It was really long, over dramatic and I mean seriously that ending 'Jack I'll never let go' he could have lived there was more than enough room for him" Hermione laughed
"I guess I'll never take you to see a romantic film again, Draco your really very irritating" Her gaze fell upon his eyes
"Isn't that why you love me?" Draco attempted puppy eyes. Hermione smacked him playfully as they started walking away from the busy restaurants that George had to offer. Draco always liked walking her home because Oxford was so breath taking.
"I guess it is"
The walk took half an hour, but they always enjoyed the moments of solace that the walk had. They would talk like had always been lovers. When they reached Hermione's door Draco gave her a long passionate kiss.
"You could come in you know, my parents are both at midnight mass" Draco looked conflicted
"Hermione, I really want to, you know I do, but I have to get home" Hermione gave a fake smile
"I know, where will you tell them you've been?"
"Blaise's most probably" He looked down "I'll see you on the train?"
"I'll see you on the train" She smiled "Draco?" She whispered as he turned around
"Yes love?"
"I love you" She grinned, not quite believing he was awake he pinched his arm, Hermione giggled.
"I love you too" He held her face, before kissing her again, he let go and a loud crack was heard as he disapparated. Hermione dug out her key and opened her front door, locking it behind her. She dropped her bag and went upstairs to change into her pyjamas. 10 minutes later she was in bed watching an episode of Only Fools And Horses, the best thing to do on Christmas eve she thought. She then heard a loud crack, the door to her en suite bathroom opened and out walked her boyfriend Draco Malfoy. Hermione looked shocked.
"Draco, wh-" He didn't let her finish, sitting down in her bed he kissed her softly.
"I forgot to ask your favourite part of the film" He smiled at her
"Urm, Leonardo DiCaprio?" She pulled a cheeky smile
"I'm shocked" Draco said in a sarcastic tone, he motioned for her to move over and he climbed into her bed.
"Draco why are you here, 10 minutes ago you said"
"I know what I said, but I also told my father the truth"
"Draco, you what?"
"I told him to fuck himself because I'm in love with you, then I came here" Hermione smiled. "Besides, your offer was much better than his"
"His offer?"
"Money"
"He offered you money?"
"Yep, so what other Leonardo DiCaprio films are there?" Hermione couldn't believe how cool he was being.
"Urm I have Romeo and Juliet on video" Hermione said with a confused look
"Seriously Granger do all your favourite films involve the death of at least one main character"
"Maybe?"
"Lets watch it then" He smiled at her, Hermione got up and pushed the video into it's slot on the TV and sat back with him. When it started she thanked Merlin it had already been re-winded.
About 40 minutes into the film Hermione fell asleep, Draco got up and turned off the TV before, climbing back into her bed and drifting off to sleep.
Mr and Mrs Granger had been angry when the saw young man in their daughters bed, but were relieved to realise they were both fully dressed. They shut the door, they would have a word with them in the morning.
