Chapter Four

"Hey Hermione, do you want to come down to Hogsmead with me to just hang?"

"I'm sorry I cant hang out with you, I am meeting up with a new friend."

"New friend?"

"Yes, I have more friends then just you and Ronald."

"I never said you didn't…"

"Well it seemed like you were implying it."

"No… its just weird I haven't seen you hanging with anyone, who is it?"

"I don't have to tell you every little thing in my life, I keep something's to myself. All you need to know is I am meeting to hang out with a new friend."

"male or female?"

"Pardon?"

"Are they male or female?"

"Why does it matter?"

"Just curiosity."

"Fine, if you must know it is a male and that is all you need to know now I am going to get ready to go. Goodbye Harry."

I ran upstairs to my dorm to look for something nice to wear, I looked out of the window of my room and saw the white fluff of soft snow covering the grounds of Hogwarts with a nice little blanket. So warm but nice. I found a cute pair of little ugg boots and matched it with a cute little skirt and black leggings. Then put on a nice soft green shirt that had a rather lower v neck then I was comfortable in, but this was a different occasion and this is the way I dressed at home why not at school. I then spent an hour straightening my hair and applying soft make-up to my face. Once I was content on how I looked I put on a little leather jacket that Chuck had bought me for Christmas one year.

I looked down at my watch and saw that it was almost time to meet with Draco to go to Hogsmead, I ran out the door and flew down the stairs right passed a very confused and shocked Harry and Ron. I ran over to a tree near the weeping willow where I saw a slightly annoyed Draco looking down and picking at a stray string on his shirt.

"Are you ready to go or what?" I asked him smirking.

"yeah lets go-" he said then he looked up at me with pure shock. "Wow… you look very beau-pret-nice." He said stuttering.

"thank you, now pick your jaw off the floor and lets go."

Draco shook himself off and we went down to a cute little restaurant just outside of Hogsmead village. We walked in a the little restaurant and a lady greeted us with slight dissaprovial to be serving two teenagers. She sat us into the back corner with a little candle on the table it was actually pretty romantic. The entire way there we were silent and we kept looking around to make sure no one would see us. Its not like we were still in New York with Gossip Girl always on the look out with all her little minions but still.

"This place is nice." I said simply.

We sat down and the lady gave us our menus. I had never been here before and the food looked very nice, and I saw now why I had never been here before. Everything was really expensive. Typical Malfoy, I could most defiantly pay for the food but it just seemed insane for food that you could get almost anywhere else for half the price you would get here for double the price of what it should be. Didn't matter now however, I looked down and my eyes went over my favourite meal in the world. I could feel my mouth beginning to water. Chicken penne with Alfaro sauce. I closed my menu while Draco continued to look at his.

"You figured out what you are going to eat already?"

"Yeup." I said with a smile.

"Well so have I." he said putting down his menu.

"What are you having?"

"A steak with mashed potatoes and green beans." He said with a loving smile. "My favourite. What are you getting?"

"Chicken Penne, my favourite." I said with a small smile playing on my face.

"Well then good deal."

A second after he said that the waitress walked up asking us our orders, we both ordered a butter beer with our meals and she walked off with our orders leaving us alone once again.

"So… how is school going?" I asked awkwardly.

"Good I suppose. Nothing overly exiting, I mean its just school. I know it means the world and more to you but not everyone of us have the same mind set as you." He said with a shrug.

"You're a very intelligent person Draco, you are the top male in our class."

"But I am not as good as you."

"Well maybe if you tried harder…"

"Now you are sounding like my mother and father."

"I'm sorry." I said sympathetically

"Its fine."

"You don't like it at home do you?"

"what would make you think that?"

"It just doesn't seem like a very nice household. Then again what do I know."

"You know what its like, living on the upper east side. Trying to not do anything that could get you a shot on Gossip Girl, but not being too good either and knowing the right people and getting into the right places and I know for the both of us that will be hard because we attend here and there isn't many universities that will take witches and wizards." He said.

She thought about what he said for a moment and realised that he was right. They could never expose who they really were to the outside world except there family and they weren't like most witches and wizards and just live 'normally' in the wizard ring world. It wasn't the same for them they were expected to go to a good muggle university and marry rich and make children. And be respectful. They couldn't just run away and live and do what it normal to them.

"Yeah, I wish more then anything to be like everyone else here and just be able to do magic here and not have to worry about going to more school and doing everything the right way. I know its hard I am still not sure what we are going to write on our transcripts for university saying where we went to school all our lives."

"Well we don't have to go do we. We just need to find someone who will take us and make ourselves up in the world."

"Draco Malfoy wants to work for something that is a shocker."

"Hey!"

"What its true, you know if you actually applied yourself you would be ahead of me in school and you wouldn't have to worry about everyone's expectations for you. Common you are loaded your popular I don't know how many girls want to shag you, you have everything."

"Pot calling the kettle black much?"

"What are you talking about?"

"You are rich just like me; you are the Gryffindor princess and best friends with saint Potter! So therefore you are popular and I know some people who would also like to shag you."

"Like who!"

"What?"

"Who are these people that so called want to shag me! I am not attractive, I have a mess of hair most of the time and I wear overly baggy clothing so who would want to shag someone like me!" she said getting angry with him now standing up and looking at him.

He sat there for a minute before standing up and standing in front of her. "You don't give yourself enough credit! You are beautiful! Especially right now if you put in have the effort that you put in tonight you would have many guys chasing after you!"

"Did you just call me beautiful…" she said shocked and a little quieter.

"Yes god dammit!" and with that he pulled her towards him rather roughly and planted his lips upon her soft lips. She gasped and after a few moments feeling his lips on her own she relaxed and kissed him back. They couldn't hear the eruption of clapping and cheering behind them. The waitress had just come up to the table when they kissed she put down there food and also began to smile widely and clap.
