"WHAT, no way, there is no way Draco Malfoy would have placed a bid on me especially a bid that high." Hermione asked the minister.
"Hermione you can slap my face and call me fanny I am telling the truth, I can understand it is bizarre to you but please remember it is 50000 Galleons for the St Mungos new children's ward. You can do this for the children can't you Hermione?" The minister said.
She looked to Harry and Ron "Hermione you don't have to do this, its Draco Malfoy after all. The biggest arrogant prat in the northern hemisphere, his head the size of a watermelon, his ego the size of Mt Everest and not to mention he will treat you like crap for the whole day you are around him." Ron said with a pained expression.
Hermione looked at the ministers pleading face then Harry, Ron and Ginny's worried face. She glanced over and saw Malfoy in the front row of tables smirking at her; he then lifted his glass to her and downed whatever was in his glass.
She turned back to the minister "50000 is going to be a lot of help to the children's ward I guess I would be a pretty poor person if I didn't put up with the git for a few hours, so minister ill do it." She replied
"Oh well that is great to hear, I suppose you had better go and talk to Mr. Malfoy and organize a time and date to meet him for your day out." The Minister replied happily.
"Hermione are you sure about this?" Harry asked looking worried "I mean I know it's for a good cause but you could be putting yourself in danger." He continued
She walked up to him and clasped his hand "Harry im I big girl I can take care of any silly ferrets that might want to cause me harm." She whispered to him.
Harry wrapped his warm arms around her and she relaxed. She was doing the right thing. Wasn't she?
"Well I better go talk to the stupid watermelon head and organize stuff. I just don't get it Harry; he hates me why would he want to buy a day with me." She asked
"I think it has more to do with getting revenge on us and him being in control and thinking that he has won." Harry said looking down at her smiling.
"Yeah I think your right. Wish me luck." Hermione sighed as she prepared herself to walk over to Malfoy.
"Good luck mate!" Harry said as he let her go.

He was laughing and smoking a cigar with Blaise Zabini when she approached him. Hermione sat down at the table opposite him. It took him a while to notice she was there.
"What the hell are you doing here?" He asked looking at her.
"Malfoy have you finally lost your marbles, you bid 50000 to be my date. I mean I know im fan-bloody-tastic, but 50000 is most definitely a compliment." She smirked.
"I thought one Galleon would be a compliment for you Mudblood ass." He said looking at Blaise and smirking back at her.
He saw her confused face.
"Look Granger, I bid as a joke I never thought you would have accepted to actually spend a day with mwah" He smugly said.
"Im not doing it because I want to im doing it because it will be 50000 Galleons for the children's ward, but if you don't think you can do it maybe you should pull out." She said folding her arms over her chest.
"Is that a challenge Granger, see who will pull out first?" He seethed
"Maybe it is, maybe it isn't. Look when do you want to fulfill this stupid day thing?" She said rolling her eyes and pulling out her diary.
"Im free next Wednesday" Hermione said scanning the pages
"Can't im in Rome" He replied
"Fine how bout next Saturday" She asked
"Can't im busy?" He drawled
She rolled her eyes
"How bout the Saturday after that." She asked again
"No No busy then aswell." He said waving his hand.
"Oh for fuck sake Malfoy how do you know you're busy you don't even have a diary in front of you." She snapped
He smirked at her "I keep it all up here Granger" He said whilst tapping the side of his head.
"Fine what about Sunday the 12th" He said looking at her.
She looked in her diary hoping she was busy that day so that she looked like she had a life. She flicked to the page. Damn it was blank. She rolled her eyes.
"That day should be fine, what time should I come round?" She asked
He shrugged his shoulders "I don't care Granger come round whenever." He sounded bored.
"Fine Sunday the 12th it is then." She said getting up from the table.
He waved her off.

Isn't it funny that when you are dreading something time seems to speed up and then when the thing that you're dreading comes up to catch up time seems to slow down and go agonizingly slow.
Well that could be said happened to Hermione, the two weeks before she was scheduled to meet Malfoy time went extra fast and before she knew it she found herself outside his mansion.
She admired the stunning architecture beautiful water features and colorful gardens.
Hermione took a deep breath and rang the bell on his front door. She waited for about two minutes, when no body came to the door she rang the bell again. She heard yelling inside the house.
"Bloody hell, im coming hold your horses"
She heard a loud clang and Malfoy opened the door wearing nothing but his black boxer shorts.
"Oh…….." She said stunned
