The Go Must Show On
Going to the Same Club, Eh?
-chapter 1-
Okay... okay, Draco, we'll go to this stupid club of yours tonight...- sighed Hermione as she was talking to someone by phone.
Thanks honey. I know you'll love it. At least, we are going to have some laugh- The voice from the phone smiled kind of devilishly-Muggles are performing in there... You know, that is already funny.
If you say so... Then see you around... 9 o' clock?- said Hermione, as she looked at her watch. She had only 3 hours of freedom until her boyfriend would pick her up. It's not she didn't like him... actually she did... a lot... but he was bothering her to go to some Muggle club for a while now, where they had "fantastic margaritas" and "extremely good night shows", in Draco's own words. Hermione was sick of it right from the start – she hated alcohol and couldn't stand those kinds of shows. They were so plain, boring and stupid, in her opinion, but... what won't we do for love?
Deal!- twittered Draco. -Love ya!
Love ya even more!- warbled Hermione back and hung up.
It was the way they would always end up their conversation by phone: like birds... repeating those two lines, over and over again... for almost three years now.
I can't believe you are asking me out! Oh my God, Harry Potter is asking me out!- screamed a girl ecstatically in a street full of people. Everyone kept turning their heads to see who had been squealing
So, do we have a date?- asked Harry slowly, desperately trying not to blush... again. For some reason, she had this funny affect to him. He felt all hot ever since he stopped the girl in the Diagon Alley. She was looking at the windows of some shops, and when she saw him, she litterally ran into his arms. And, now, when he actually asked her out, she was crying in surprise
Of course we do, Harry James Potter.
She calmed down for a second, so Harry took the opportunity to get a nice breath
However, the girl was back on track: -Do you have any place in mind... where we can go out
Um... No...- was the whole answer he could give her. –Do you
Do I? Do I?- she seemed flabbergasted. -Well, baby, I live for parties!
"Parties? Who said parties? Did I ever mention a party?" thought Harry nervously.
Er, I'd prefer some place quieter if you don't mind... Do you perhaps know a good club or café?- asked Harry desperately trying not to panic. He could fight Deatheaters in the past, but he just never managed to cope with that whole 'partying' stuff
A club or a café?- she repeated thoughtfully, -Hmm, let me think for a sec... Oh... I think I heard soemthing about a new club... but I don't know how good it is... Should we go there? I think it's a Muggle place and it is called Showtime, if I'm not mistaken..
Showtime, eh? Well, why not?
All right. I'll go to your house and pick you up. Said the girl and a grin appeared on her face again -Pick Harry Potter up
Right... You know where I live?- asked Harry, but somehow knew the answer..
Duh! Who doesn't know where Harry Potter lives?- she exclaimed with ecstasy in her voice, -The greatest hairdresser of all times!
Okay then. See you... I guess around nine o' clock?
No doubt!- replied the girl, quickly kissed him on cheek and turned on her heal.
In the next moment, she was already going down the street. It seemed as though she couldn't leave Harry, because turned around one more time to see if she really had that famous date for tonight.
Harry waved and apparated to his place. He was still asking himself how the quiet, not so pretty and noticeable girl from his memory became such a beautiful and overjoyed young woman now... Harry still wasn't 100 sure if he had really asked Lavender Brown out.
Hermione lived in a Muggle part of London. She had found a nice peaceful suburb and bought a house only for herself. It wasn't a huge one and it certainly wasn't too small either: it was just what Hermione needed. Draco, on the other hand, lived in a huge luxury house, with lots of service. He lived in the same area as Hermione, but the distance between those two houses had been very big
Hermione was looking at her closet full of clothes. Since she had started dating Draco, her life changed for 180 degrees. She wasn't obsessed with reading as she used to be. She wasn't the same I-have-to-know-everything-about-everything person anymore. True... she still enjoyed books, but that was all. She wasn't as bossy as before. She wasn't as determined as before. She couldn't remember the last time she actually had cast a spell or brewed a potion. There was no sign of the Hermione that existed at Hogwarts once upon a time. She now became an ordinary girl... very close to a regular... Muggle.
She stood in front of a mirror in her bedroom trying to decide between two wonderful dresses. The first one was dark blue like a night sky, with tiny shining stars on it. The second one was grey, but elegant.
Hermione looked gorgeous in both of them, but she wanted to pick the one she looked better in. She stood Feeling she was lacking time, Hermione finally decided to wear completely different dress: red, tight and very long. Without exaggarating: Hermione looked like an angel wearing it.
That was exactly what Draco had told her, when he stepped out of his Mercedes to open the door for Hermione
Why, thank you monsignor- Hermione smiled at him, showing her perfect white teeth
Anything for you, mademoiselle.- replied Draco with even bigger smile than hers
Off to the Showtime, then- he announced and started the machine.
Just a couple of minutes later they were in front of the club. Hermione stepped out of the car looking around to see how the other Muggles were dressed. She was just about to comment on some beautiful pair of shoes a girl wore, when she saw something that made her forget the shoes immediately. Hermione noticed a messy, black hair and two bright green eyes she used to know so well... She simply couldn't restrain herself. She had to check if it was really him.
Harry! Harry!- she yelled, not paying attention to the curious glances around her. -Oh my God, Harry, over here
What the heck...?- mumbled Draco looking terribly confused
Harry turned his head to see who had been calling him (thinking that it might be one of the annoying fan-girls) but when he saw who it was... first he thought it was his imagination... But the girl didn't stop calling so he decided to run towards her, beaming like a child, leaving Lavender alone
Mione? Is that really you? Is it? I thought I was going nuts when I heard you shouting...- yelled Harry as he gave Hermione a bear hug,- I certainly cannot believe this
Harry didn't even notice Hermione was with someone... and more important, who her date was, until the person spoke with the tone he used to so many years ago
Potter?- drawled Draco, as a smirk formed in one corner of his lips. -How wonderful to see you..
Harry had a what-the-hell-is-going-on-here expression on his face. She must have gone crazy! First Hermione, now...
M - Malfoy
Ah, he still remembers my last name!- replied Draco ironically
Hermione stared at both of them for a moment, blinking nervously.
What's that tone for?- she annoyedly asked Draco, slightly raising her voice –Correct me if I am wrong, but aren't we supposed to be grown up people now? You know – civilized? I am not asking you two to be best friends all of the sudden, but you can at least call each other by first names, for Merlin's Sake
Honey... I wouldn't be glad to see him if I wasn't acting like an adult. It was just... a little something to remind us... of our older days. Harry.- finished Draco smiling innocently, then looked at Harry who was still speechless
Well, I, I.. You know. I wasn't expecting this, Ma…. Draco.- murmured Harry, having great troubles with pronouncing the last word. –After all, this is a Muggle club... I never expected I'd see anyone familiar... Oh... my... lord..
A lamp suddenly flashed in her mind. He didn't come here by himself... he wasn't alone... that means..
"Bloody hell! Lavender! Where is she?"
Harry feverishly turned around and realized her car wasn't there anymore. Hermione and Draco noticed something had been happening, but before they managed to ask what, Harry cried
I can't believe this... Bugger! Bugger! Bugger! She left. She actually left
Who did? - asked Hermione confusedly, but Draco seemed to understand Harry quite well
Welll... What would you expect, honestly? You left your date to stand behind you like a fool, while you were hugging another girl..
Draco tried his best not to burst into laugh, thinking it would look way to immature
My first date after a while...-sighed Harry heavily –and managed to blow it up..
Oh, Harry!- said Hermione compassionately. -Everything is going to be fine, I am sure of it. You'll call that girl tomorrow and work this out, I am tellin' ya.
Harry didn't respond. This wasn't the first time to live something like this... He was just terrible when it came to love... Somehow, friends always got first in his life, before girlfriends and dates... It wasn't his fault... It was just the way it is
Yes, I guess you're right..
Sure I am! Don't you ever doubt in me.- chuckled Hermione, as she grabbed Harry's and Draco's arms. -Now, men, if you agree, I would like to enter this club now. That's why we got here in the first place, isn't it? I mean – we have so much to catch up on! Sooner we get in, sooner we start talking about these past few years. Come on, now.
She smiled charmingly, leading both boys in. The three of them were still surprised to see each other again... and how wouldn't they? But... they couldn't even dream whom they would see in the club... They had absolutely no idea this would be the most shocking night in their entire lives.
