The Meet
Chapter 2
Draco exited the Club and looked around. Finally he saw a figure on the right side of the street and ran towards it. When he was a good 2 meters away, he stopped and called.
"Granger!" Draco called to the figure. He saw that the figure stiffened and then turned around to see who was calling her. She then stood shocked as she saw Draco Malfoy jogging towards her.
"Malfoy?" Hermione said as Draco stopped in front of her, panting. "What are you doing here?" She had shock in her voice.
"I just saw you and I decided to go to you and say hello." Draco said as he grinned at Hermione who flushed and then rubbed her arms when the cold wind blew past them.
"Oh. Well, I should go. It was nice seeing you again Malfoy" Hermione said as she turned around to go, but Draco grabbed her by the arm.
"Hey. I know a place near here, it's a cafe. You seem pretty cold and I want to catch up with an old friend" Draco said as he smiled. Hermione hesitated for a moment but when the wind blew once again she agreed.
They then went into a dark alley to apparate. When they arrived, they exited through an alley also. Hermione saw that they were not in London anymore. She took in her surroundings and saw the Eiffel Tower.
"You bloody git! You said it was near! We're in Paris!" Hermione said as she playfully punched Draco on the arm.
"I'm sorry. But this is my favorite Cafe and I want to take you here. You wouldn't agree if I said I was taking you to a Cafe in Paris right?" Draco said as he shrugged while Hermione silently agreed with him while they went inside the Cafe.
They then sat in the table near the window which had a perfect view of the Eiffel Tower. Draco then called on a waiter.
"Bonjour Monsieur et Madame" the waiter said in French which Hermione understood perfectly because of her knowledge in the French language "Que voulez-vous?" the waiter asked as he gave Hermione and Draco the menu.
"Je vais avoir un cappuccino" Draco said to the waiter while the waiter wrote it down on his notepad. Draco then turned to Hermione who was still scanning the menu "Hey Granger" Draco said as he looked over to Hermione who was scanning the menu. Does she understand French? Maybe she's having a hard time in understanding the -
"Je vais prendre un café chaud et" Hermione paused as she looked again at the menu. "Et macarons parfumés à la vanille" she said as she smiled at the waiter while the waiter nodded at them.
Of course she could speak and understand French! She's Hermione Granger after all. The Brightest Witch of our age, Draco thought as he smiled at Hermione.
"Why are you smiling at me Malfoy?" Hermione asked as she raised a brow at him.
"Never knew you spoke French Granger" Draco said as leaned back in his chair.
"You underestimate me Malfoy. I'm not the Brightest Witch of our Age for nothing." Hermione said as she smirked.
"So what is the Brightest Witch of our Age singing in a club in Muggle London?" Draco said as he also raised his brow. With this question, Hermione's eyes widened.
"How- How- did you know?" Hermione stuttered.
"I was in the club a while ago. Blaise invited me." Draco said.
"How did you know it was me? I'm not wearing the same clothes anymore." Hermione asked as she gestured to the clothes she was wearing at the moment.
"To be honest, when we you and I were Heads in our 7th year, I kind of heard you sing in your room. You were pretty good I might admit. I saw you through a space in your door; you were using your brush as a mic. You also sang the same song you know." Draco said as he grinned while Hermionee flushed in embarrassment.
"It was you! I knew it! Ha! I thought it was the wind." Hermione said as she punched Draco's arm again playfully while they both laughed. "I'm gonna get you for this Draco" When Hermione said Draco's first name they both stopped laughing while Draco smiled at her.
"Good Luck Hermione" Draco said while they grinned at each other. I like hearing my first name from her mouth. Draco thought as he smiled. Then, the waiter served their order. They talked about almost everything. Laughing and teasing each other while giving flirtatious comments every now and then.
"So how's your love life? Married Weasel Bee yet?" Draco teased but then regretted saying that as he saw Hermione's face falter.
"Oh. He's married to Lavender." She said as she smiled. "Oh! Let's not talk about my love life. How's yours? Has the ladies' man, Draco Malfoy, attached yet?" Hermione said as she grinned.
"Nah. Haven't found the one yet" Draco said. But I think she's in front of me right now. Draco thought.
"Well, It looks like we're both single huh?" Hermione said as she took a sip from her coffee.
"Cheers to being single!" Draco said as he raised his cup while they laughed. After that, they left the Cafe.
"Aren't we going to get back yet?" Hermione asked Draco
"Oh no. Let's have a walk first." Draco said "It's only 3 in the morning Hermione!" He said while they laughed. "Come on." he said as he guided them towards the Eiffel Tower.
"I always dreamed of living here when I was a kid" Hermione said as she sat on one of the benches near the Eiffel Tower. "That's why I know French" She said as she smiled. "I had fun Draco. Thank you" Hermione said as she turned to look at Draco.
"Me too, Hermione," He replied and then looked around "Look at the couple's kissing here." He said as he gestured to the couples who were either hugging or kissing each other. "Looks like we're being left out!" He said while they grinned at each other.
"We're not even a couple!" Hermione said as she shook her head.
"Yet!" Draco added as the grinned at each other.
"Just kiss me you git" Hermione said as they closed the gap between them.
