Title: Courage
Summary: Muggle AU Hermione meets a beautiful woman now all she needs to do is work up the courage to talk to her.
The first time Hermione saw Narcissa she felt drawn to her like a magnet to metal. The older woman's pale skin, loose blonde hair around her and blue eyes that could melt ice were stunning.
Hermione couldn't find the courage to talk to her that night only stare and wonder what her name was. She felt then like she feels now that she could look at this gorgeous woman forever, but it turned out that night forever was fifteen until a bus came and took her away.
Hermione stood at the bus stop with a crestfallen face until her own bus came, she cursed herself for being unable to say a simple hello.
She was sure that she'd never see Narcissa again.
It was a Friday night an Hermione's best friend Ginny and her other best friend Luna had dragged her out to a nightclub to meet someone.
Just because Ginny was happily married to Harry and Luna was happily engaged to Ginny's brother Ron they both felt that it was their mission to find Hermione someone to be with.
It was three gin and tonics, two awkward dances and a miserable Hermione later that she saw her standing in the corner with a drink in her and trying to make herself invisible.
Her blonde hair tied up in a pony tail and her blue eyes watching Hermione.
"She's watching you and you are looking at her like you might start drooling any minute, maybe you should go talk to her." Ginny suggested, her face flushed from a mixture of drinking and dancing.
"What do I say?." Hermione asked, her throat feeling dry at just thought of going over there.
"How about hello, I'm Hermione, "Ginny said, with a smile."Or you could not go over and talk to her and I can set you up on another blind date."
Hermione glared at Ginny, she'd rather put burning hot needles into her eyes, then be set up on a blind date again.
Hermione's heart pounded loudly in her chest with every step she took, she could hear it over the music. Her palms were sweaty and throat was dry.
"Hello, I'm Hermione." Hermione said, feeling embarrassed by how stiff and formal the words seemed to her ears.
"Narcissa," Narcissa said, looking at Hermione and smirking. "You are lucky that I find the nervous look cute."
"Sorry, it's just you are beautiful and I'm terrible at this sort of thing." Hermione explained, she could feel herself blushing and knew that Narcissa could see she was too.
"Well, you should offer to buy me a drink, then we will see where we go from there." Narcissa told her.
"Can I buy you a drink?."
"Yes, Vodka and orange," Narcissa replied, with a smile. "See, it wasn't that difficult was it?."
