First kiss
(In this chapter we will also have draco's pov)
Chapter 4
Hermione found herself looking at draco from time to time, he looked so concentrated on finding something out. Hermione was so grateful to him for being by her side for her most difficult time. She loved her parents dearly and could not imagine loosing them. She had done the right thing by sending them away or they would have been dead. She started scanning her book. She read and read, books after books, collecting them in a pile. She couldn't find anything very useful from them. After around 2 hours, draco stood up and made some coffee for himself. Hermione was very shocked when she found out he could make coffee and not cereal. When he returned to the living room with two cups of coffee in his hand, she erupted in laughter. She rolled on the floor clutching her stomach, she could not control herself. Seeing her, draco gave her the biggest smile he had ever given her. He looked different, he looked bright and lively while smiling. "you can- make coffee- and- not-cereal?" she managed to ask between laughter. "well yes I can" he said sheepishly " want some?". "yeah sure draco". She took her mug and sat down to start searching again, "thank you btw". We started to search again.
By the time it was lunch we both had finished the books that came from Hogwarts and were deciding how to get them back where they belonged. Hermione asked him "what do you want for lunch draco? Should we order something?" " yes okay, we can have something from the bakery down the street. Lets go there and have lunch, a change of scenery would be good". She stared at him for a long time, she saw that he was looking at her with a bewildered expression. She quickly looked away and said, "lets go then". They walked down to the library in a comfortable silence, both lost in their own thought. Hermione's thoughts-
I surely like him, and he is handsome and caring. I loved the way he held me that night. He doesn't like me! I mean atleast not in that way? Does he? He would not help me if he didn't feel anything would he? Hermione what are you thinking! He is an ex-deatheater! But he has changed a lot and he is helping me! A muggle born!-
With these thoughts Hermione felt herself enter the bakery.
They took a table and order their food. It was a big bakery with a slow song going on. The smell was lovely in there. Hermione said, " so, are you liking helping me? Or are you doing it just for my sake?" "of course I like what I am doing and I want to help you" they silently ate their lunch and exited the bakery.
Back at their room,They both sat down at their previous places and once again started searching.
2days later….
Nothing much happens in these two days, just small conservations and searching continues until now….
It was around 10 in the morning and Hermione and draco were tired of sitting and reading books after books. Hermione decides that she wants a change of scenery and cannot sit home anymore. She got up and said, " draco I cannot sit around anymore, lets travel around a little". Draco looked confused for a moment at hermione's sudden demand but quickly recovered and said, "ok get ready". Hermione went to her room and put on a simple white sundress. When she came out she saw draco waiting for her, he was wearing a polo shirt with brown trousers. For a moment draco stared at her with awe then gave her a gentle smile and said, "you look beautiful" she blushes and said, " thank you, you look handsome too" with more blood creeping to her a cute cheeky smile he said, "lets go, shall we". Draco looked dashing in his polo shirt, Hermione had never seen a man so handsome. As they exited their room they decided to go to the Eiffel Tower and Louvre museum for the day. Outside the hotel, draco took Hermione's hand and apparated to the Louvre museum, from outside it was majestic. Hermione imagined what it would be from the inside.
They entered and saw the elegant beauty of it. (I decided to make this as my own described place. If you have been inside, then just know that I have changed it.) gallery after galleries ofart masterpieces. Hermione loved art, although she could not paint but she was good at observing and analyzing it. She , went to paintings after painting with draco at tow. She remarked about some and remained silent at the others. She was overwhelmed by their beauty. She could not decide which painting was the best. They spent hours just going through the master pieces. By the time they were out of there, Hermione could not believe that they had just seen half of the paintings. They were hungry and decided to sit to have something to eat. It was already dark.
Draco asked her, "so, how did you like the museum? I thought it was majestic" while cut a piece of meat with his fork. "yes, I agree. The paintings were the most beautiful things I have ever seen. The restaurant was a big one with men in tuxedo, playing a slow song on a violin. When they had finished their food, with his famous smirk, draco stood up and walked to her side, Hermione unsure of what to do also stood up.
From draco's pov….
It was almost like he was under the imperius curse! Almost. He had no idea why, but he had liked hermione's company, he liked the way she smile, he also thought that she was the most beautiful girl in the world, the girl who he had tormented all in his school years, and he had no control over his feelings! He was falling for her….. in so less a time.
As if his mind was controlled by someone else, he stood up and went over to hermione's side. He extended his hand and asked, "want to dance?" with much more confidence than he felt. She took his hand and said, "sure, why not". They walked over to the dance floor. Draco took her small waist in his hands and she kept her hand on her shoulder. They took each other's free hands and started to move around the dance floor. They were so close that draco could feel hermione's breadth on his face. She looked beautiful. He felt good with her in his arms. Hermione kept her head on his shoulder. They danced till the song ended, when they heard the song stop, they also stop where they were. Draco felt himself leaning down toward her. He stopped midway, asking for her permission. She looked him in the eye and stood up on her toess. Their lips crashed together. They kissed till they were breathless. It was the most awesome kiss draco had ever had. They broke apart and looked into each others eyes. I smiled at her politely and she returns my smile back.
Hermione's pov….
I don't know what I just did, I just knew that it was the right thing to do. He asked for my permission and I granted it. Draco Malfoy wanted to kiss me! It must be a dream! All girls at school were right, he did kiss like an kiss was better than any I had ever had before.
Draco put some galleons on our table and we exited. Outside, draco took my hand and in return I laced my fingers through his, I didn't know if it was the right move but it atleast felt right to me.
I asked him, "draco, I am tired, lets visit Eiffel Tower tomorrow." "ok Hermione, your wish". They apparated back to their hotel and both straight went to the respective rooms and fell into their beds. Hermione was really tired but couldn't sleep for hours. She thought about her day, the museum, the dance, and finally, the kiss. It felt as is it was the best day in Hermione's life. With these happy thoughts Hermione atlast went to sleep.
The next morning Hermione woke up and got ready. She went out and made some breakfast for her and draco. As she was just setting the table, draco came out of the room. He appeared to be coming just out of a bath. His hair was wet and tousled. It looked like better like this. They sat down and had breakfast. Hermione said, "lets continue our research in the evening and go to the Eiffel Tower right now." Draco said, "I was just gonna say that!". They got up after eating their food and left their hotel room. Once outside, draco took Hermione's hand and apparated. Draco knew all this places in paris and france as his mother had come here often with him for shopping trips. They apparated just beside the garden in front of the large beauty. They got into line and bought two tickets. They entered the elevator and went straight to the top most floor allowed to go. They stepped out of the elevator, draco snaked his hand around her waist. He looked down at her and gave her the most adorable smile. he led her to a spot which was empty and no one was there. Hermione looked out over the view and was overwhelmed by the beauty. She said, "its beautiful" she could not describe how awesome the scenery was. Draco stepped beside her. She looked up to him and saw that he was facing her and looking down. She turned to face him. He bent down and gave her a peck on her lips. She extended her hands took his hair. She pulled his head towards her and kissed him. After breaking the kiss, she hugged him so close to herself, as if he would go away and leave her alone.
After roaming around a little in france they apparated back to their hotel. They at once started searching again. They spent the whole day finding and searching with a new determination. It was as if luck was on her side these days. She had atlast found it. She had found the cure. She exclaimed, "draco I found it! I found it!"
