"Draco, I'm still not sure about this." Hermione Granger said as she looked over a map that was sitting on a table that was in front of her. She used her finger to trace some trail that had been penciled on the paper. The hot, August sun was shining through the window, warming her arm that laid on the table.
"Hermione, this might be our last chance to get away." Draco Malfoy answered as he put his hand on top of her hand. He was sitting next to her at the table.
Slowly, Hermione looked up at the man that had captured her heart so many years ago. She allowed her eyes to travel over his visible features: his perfect, pale blonde hair, his gray eyes, his warm smile that he reserved for her alone. Although the rest of his body was covered by typical Muggle clothes, Hermione knew very well what he had hidden beneath them.
Draco and Hermione were enjoying a rare moment together since they had left Hogwarts, back in June. If the two of them wanted to see each other, they had to plan it very carefully, like today. Draco had to get away from his parents, who were trying to get him to marry a Pure-blood. Hermione, as much as she cared about them, had to get away from her friends Ron Weasley and Harry Potter; although, it was Ron that she really had to worry about. That's why they were eating at a Muggle diner, possibly one of the last places that anyone would come looking for them. Though it was tough, they still got together whenever there was the opportunity. Sometimes they would sneak out at night as well, but Hermione would never tell a soul about those moments.
Not that Draco cared about what his mother and father thought. Only thing that mattered to him was Hermione. She pointed out to Draco that it would not help her getting a job within the Ministry of Magic if she was on Lucius Malfoy's bad side. It would not be a good way to start out in the wizarding world, especially since she was a Muggle-born.
That was one of the reasons that Hermione thought that Draco was mental for coming with this plan to run away.
"So, we are just going to travel around, just sightseeing?" Hermione asked. "Just the two of us?" she continued, hoping that Draco did not hear the excitement that colored her voice.
"Yeah, just like students fresh out of Hogwarts used to do." he replied as he gave her hand a quick squeeze. "Before they would settle down at their jobs, they would travel for about an year or so."
Seems like he has done some research. Hermione thought to herself.
According to the plan that Draco had come up with, the two of them would be leaving in the next couple of months. They would leave at different times, to throw off any suspicions, and meet up again to be together.
Draco surprised Hermione by kissing her. She kissed him back, passionately. Suddenly, the plan did not seem so crazy. It was like magically, it would be alright."Everything will be fine." he said when they broke apart.
Then, he looked down at his watch. When Draco looked back up at Hermione, he had a mischievous look in his eyes and smirk. Hermione knew what he was thinking about and she started to blush.
"Draco!" Hermione chastised.
"What? We have some time before anyone expects either of us at home." Draco said as he started to massage her arm. He leaned in close to her ear and whispered, "You look so cute when you're blushing."
Of course, this made Hermione turn a few shades darker. Draco let out a laugh as he gathered the map up and put it away in his pocket. Then, he kissed her on the cheek.
"Come on, let's go." Draco said as he got to his feet and offered Hermione his hand. They walked out hand in hand until they reached the place where Draco was going to Apparate back home. After he kissed her good-bye, there was a loud pop and he was gone.
Hermione let out a sigh and put her hand on her stomach. She felt apprehensive. She knew something was different about herself, but was not quite sure what it was yet.
"I hope that I'm just over-reacting about this." she said as she turned and headed back home. She decided that she would wait before she told Draco about this new worry.
