"So how'd you like dinner?"

"It was…nice."

Aiden laughed lightly. "Just nice or…really really nice?" He looked over and smiled at her.

They were taking a walk down the street, with Aiden's bodyguard behind them..you would not believe how many people wanted to hurt the Bank's head.

"Well..it was somewhere in between. But I really did have a good time-a great time!, it's just that I'm so used to this so…it's nothing new…"

"What do you mean by 'nothing new' ?"

"You know…the expensive, fancy french restraints, the man who's seemingly charming and rich. That's nothing new." She looked up at him.

"Hermione believe me when I say that I'm not out to hurt you. And if you want something new, then that's what you'll get-let's go!" Aiden grabbed Hermione by the hand and they took off running.

The bodyguard ran after them a couple of blocks, then slowed to a stop. " –pant pant- okay…you kids go…-pant- ahead. I'll catch up later- woo I really need a doughnut." He sighed walking towards the nearest diner.

"Oh my gosh, Aiden where are we going??" She asked, smiling from ear to ear. She heard laughter and screaming in the background.

"You ready?" Aiden asked, hands still covering her eyes.

"Aah! Just show me Aiden pleeeaassee." She started shaking with anticipation. "The suspense is so overwhelming." She cried out dramatically. He slowly removed his hands from her eyes.

"So…is this something new?"

And there they both stood, at the entrance of an amusement park.

The both came out of the race cars laughing uncontrollably.

"Noo, no, no, no, no! You know that I got past the finish line first!" Hermione poked him in his shoulder.

"Pffssh. Hermione darling, no body has beaten me at race cars since I was 6, and we were rolling our wheelies down the sidewalk.."

"Well then..." she said sighing and looking off to the side, "that last time is fi-ni-to, because I soo just whooped you!" She cried, giving him a light punch in his chest and taking off running.

"Oh no you don't!" Aiden exclaimed, taking off after her.

"Catch me if you-Oh, hello Aiden. So nice of you to join me." She giggled slightly at the fact that his arms were around her waist.

"You…are on fast woman." He looked to the side, "I have a great idea-since you 'whooped me' , I feel the need to win back some of my manly man pride," they started laughing. "So I am going to win you, the biggest stuffed animal from this game." They rushed towards the game he was looking at, where a man, a huge hammer, and a reeeaalllyy tall dingbell type thing, and a sign that said 'Ring your Strength & Win A Prize!'.

"Aiden really,you don't have to do this."

"Hmm.." He said picking up the hammer, tossing it up and down to feel the weight of it, then finally steadiying himself in front of the dingbell stand, "I'm actually doing this more for you, than for my 'manly pride', I did tell you I would get you the biggest prize here, didn't I?"

"Yes…"

"Well that's exactly what I'm going to do." He raised the hammer up and swung it down in one swift move.

Hermione almost passed out watching his muscles flex.

Ding

The bell lit up with a bunch of colored lights and started ringing.

"We've got a new highscore!" the man to the side shouted.

"Aiden that's amazing!" She jumped up and hugged him.

"Here you are sir." The man handed him a giant, adorable bulldog with a puppy pout.

Aiden took the dog and handed it to Hermione. "And here you are miss." He gave her a half smirk, with his one blue eye and one green eye staring up into her honey ones.

"Why thank you." She hugged to stuffed animal close and kissed Aiden on the cheek. She whispered in my ear. "this has been the best night I've had in a long time- thank you for that too."

He wrapped an arm around her waist as they headed towards the exit. As she rested her head on his shoulder, he whispered back.

"Only the best for you."

"Mrs.Weasley, Mrs.Weasley!" she came rushing through her apartment door into the living room. "I had the most amazing time!"

"Hermione dear, you'll wake up Daniel!...But tell me all about it!"

"He's just…AH!" She grabbed the nearest pillow and smothered it in her face. "He's almost too perfect…like…'the one'!" She whispered removing the pillow.

"Hermione be careful! Don't rush into anything…I don't want you to get hurt again!" Mrs.W cried out in a worried tone.

"Aiden isn't like that…I know it's just the first date and all but…he's just great. So real and…well mannered! Respectable, charismatic, intellectual.." She sighed, "We just seem to click you know." Hermione snapped. "Like that. I know you would really like him." She ruffled her hair.

"I'm just sitting here listening about him and I already don't like him."

"Ron? What are you doing here?"

"Helping mum."

"Molly?"

"Oh yes dear, he called earlier looking for you…I told him you were out with the Bank's head, then he came right over and helped me take care of Danny…I could've sworn I mentioned it to you earlier.."

"No Molly, you didn't. And Ron, you have no right not to like him. You don't even KNOW him!"

"I know that it's way too early for you to start dating again!"

"No, I think what you mean is that it's too early for me to date anybody who isn't you yet!"

"Hermi-" She cut him off. "So you know what, I would like it if you all would leave because, as you know, I've had a long night and I am exhausted. Please don't forget to lock the door on your way out."

Molly got up and headed for the door, giving Hermione a hug. "Night dear."

Ron rushed out quickly after her, red ears and all.

2 ½ hours later after Hermione had taken a shower, gotten her take top and pajama shorts on, and checked up Danny, she was on her way to her room down the hall.

…..

Nudge

…..

"Hermione.." a voice whispered.

"Hermione."

Nudge

"Wake Up!"

She finally woke up, her eyes looking above her to meet steel gray ones.

"SHIT!" She jumped out of her bed.

"What the hell are you doing in my room?!"

"Well what's this I hear about you going on dates?"

There was a long pause…and Hermione knew that this wasn't the right time but…she busted out laughing.

"What's so bloody funny?"

"You! Oh my god, you! Are you seriously coming to my house, unannounced and uninvited AGAIN, just to ask me if I went on a date ??"

"Um don't you think it's a bit early for that…ARE YOU FUCKING HIM?!"

"…Am I high or have you been smoking something? Malfoy do you seriously I slept with him? That I'm that easy?? I don't think you should be such a hypocrite. I'm not going to be heartbroken forever-I'm moving on." She sat down at the side of her bed. "Oh and I would appreciate if you stopped breaking and entering into my home. It's very troubling more so on your part because if you keep this up I just might take this to the ministry."

He smiled. "And they would grant me half custody of Danny..I know you wouldn't want that.."

Hermione made a face that looked like she was about to cry.

"B-But not if they see how h-heartbroken I am about your whole cheating escapade." Then she started smiling again. "Puhlease Malfoy. Don't try and intimidate me." She leaned forward and whispered, "I'm much better at it."

Draco sat down at the edge of the bed before Hermione had a chance to tell him not to. "Okay fair enough…I would just like it if you gave me another chance- or atleast let me visit Danny once in a while.."

"Malfoy wha-"

"Just think it over, okay?"

Then he was gone.

Hermione shook her head and got back under the covers.

I am so lovestoned
