A/N Hello everyone. EEEK you probably all hate me because I haven't updated in sooooo long! I don't have nay excuse for not updating, so I hope you will all forgive me. I am so sorry. I hope this chapter will make up for it, because I have a feeling you will all like this chapter. I would like to thank GraystripexSilverstream, Gwenevere Walter, and paulina for the reviews. Paulina I guess I wasn't thinking when I was writing about the boats, but thankyou for pointing that out, and Ron and Hermione didn't work out, because he had Auror training as I mentioned. Anyway here it goes!

'Yes, Draco I will be your girlfriend.' Hermione said quickly to Draco, smiling. Draco's face lit up. 'Draco?' Hermione asks waving a hand in front of his face. Draco smiled at her and grabbed her hand, pulling her over towards Blaise and Ginny.

'Blaise, I don't believe you have met my girlfriend. This is my girlfriend Hermione Granger.' Draco says laughing. Blaise slaps a hand on Draco's back.

'Congratulations mate. She's a beauty.' Blaise replies smiling. Hermione laughs.

'Thanks Blaise.' Hermione replies. She looks over at Ginny who is grinning from ear to ear.

'Hermione this is great! Name the kids after me.' Ginny says enthusiastically. Hermione rolls her eyes.

'Let's not get ahead of ourselves now Ginny.' She says sternly, though she's smiling. Ginny laughs.

'Well were does the new couple want to go on their first date?' Blaise asks.

'I have already got it planned.' Draco replies. Everyone looks at Draco and he turns red. The group laughs. 'Hermione go get ready right now because we have to be there at dinner, and that's in an hour. Wear something that you can get messy in, and meet me down at the black lake, at 7:00.' And with that, Draco turns around and leaves to his room. Blaise shrugs and follows. Ginny links her arm through Hermione and together they leave.

'I wonder what you guys will be doing tonight. Maybe you will be swimming. No it cant be because then he would have told you to bring a swimsuit. Maybe you will be painting, or going for a walk along the beach. I wonder what he has planned.' Ginny quickly says without taking a breath.

'Ginny, breathe.' Hermione says smiling.

'Aren't you excited though Hermione?' Ginny asks.

'Yes I'm very excited, but I just don't want to die from lack of oxygen.' Hermione jokes. 'I can't think of anything that I would need old clothes for.' She says pondering her thoughts.

'I guess we will just have to wait. You will be telling me all about this as soon as you get home. Are we clear?' Ginny asks.

'Crystal.'

45 minutes later

Hermione walked down the stairs from her room in black sweat pants, and a over-sized navy blue t-shirt her dad gave to her, before he left. She had old tattered sneakers on, and her hair was up in a messy bun.

'Hermione, don't forget to kiss him.' Ginny yelled to Hermione, as she exited the room. In response Hermione rolled her eyes. Quickly Hermione ran to the black lake, making it just in time. Draco was already there with his back turned to her.

'Hello, sorry I am kind of late.' Hermione said tapping Draco on the shoulder. He turned around and smiled at her making Hermione melt.

'Don't worry about it.' Draco responded. Draco was dressed in black sweater, and black sweatpants. 'We have to be there in 10 minutes. I got permission from professor McGonagall to apparate.'

'Apparate? You can't apparate in and out of Hogwarts.' Hermione said to Draco.

'You can if you have a house elf.' As Draco said this a scrawny house elf with large eyes popped up beside Hermione. The elf smiled up at Hermione, earning a warming smile back.

'Hello, Ms. Granger, and Mr. Malfoy. How is your evening?' The elf asked. Hermione smiled at the elf behaviour.

'So far our evening is good, how is yours-

'Plinky'

'How is your evening Plinky?' Hermione asked.

'Very splendid. Plinky has never been asked to apparate students out of Hogwarts School of witchcraft and wizardry, noo' Plinky said.

'Okay enough with the chit-chat. We have to leave.' Draco said, interrupting the conversation. Plinky nodded once and grabbed one of Hermione's hands as Draco grabbed one of Hermione's. Plinky snapped. Hermione and Draco felt the familiar feeling of being sucked into a small container, as the air was sucked from their lungs. It only lasted a few seconds, because they soon landed in a busy street with a pop.

'What time will Plinky need to pick you up sir?'

'Come at 9:00' Draco responded.

'Have a fun night.' Plinky said and disappeared with a pop.

'Draco where are we?' Hermione asked looking around. She looked around, and at first thought it was a muggle street but the people were looking at the couple that suddenly popped up with an elf, like they see that all the time.

'My mum once took me here to escape my father when he was at his worst. It's called Hunnitons. They have almost everything in this town. From water parks to wand making factories. I used to love this place. I know it seems kind of crazy that I would do something so muggle-ish but I like it. We are going to one of my favourite activities to do. Go-kart racing.' Draco said to Hermione. Hermione widened her eyes. Draco linked his fingers through Hermione's and they began to walk down the busy street. 'It's just around the corner.' As they turned the corner Hermione spotted a large building with a track behind it. She grinned from ear to ear.

'I've never been go-Kart racing before.' She said. Draco pushed open the door for Hermione and they entered the building. A tall bald man stood at the counter, at the entrance. He had a dark goatee on his chin, and his ear was pierced. As soon as he spotted Draco and Hermione his face lit up.

'No way!' The man shouted with an American accent. 'Grant get over here! You'll never believe who just came in.' The man smiled and walked over to Draco enveloping him in a man hug. 'Draco Malfoy! I never thought I would see your face in here again. How ya been my boy? Long time no see. How's the family?'

'Good to see your face again mate. Well, my dad is in Azkaban, and me and my mum are holding up. We have been renovating the manor, so nothing to do with dark magic is there anymore.' Draco responds, while the guy nods his head with his arms crossed.

'Well its good your father has been locked up in Azkaban the fucken guy deserved it.' He replied. Hermione widened her eyes, as the man talked about Draco's father like that. She was surprised to find out that Draco just smiled. The man then turned to Hermione and smiled. 'Draco, who is this beautiful girl?' He asks and lifts one of Hermione's hands, planting a kiss on her knuckles. Hermione smiles and pulls her hand back.

'This is Hermione Granger.' Draco replies.

'Pleasure to meet you Hermione Granger. My name is Rick Fleeter. Are you Draco's girlfriend?' Rick asks, raising his eyebrows. Hermione nods and Rick smiles. 'Well done Draco.' As Rick finishes talking a tall dark skinned man ran into the room and his eyes widened.

'Well, Well, Well if it isn't the best racer in the country. Good to see you Draco.' The dark man said to Draco, firmly shaking his hand.

'Hermione this is Grant.' Draco said introducing her. Grant smiled, and nodded at Hermione.

'You must be the girlfriend. Nice to meet you Hermione.' Grant said. Hermione smiled and nodded.

'Well let's get you suited up.' Rick said wiping his hands on his jeans.

'How much is this going to cost us?' Draco quickly asked digging in his sweater pocket.

'Nah don't worry about it Draco.' Rick said and began to lead Draco and Hermione into the back of the building. 'So is it just you 2?' Draco nodded. 'Alright here Hermione try this helmet on.' Rick says handing Hermione a hot pink helmet. She took the helmet from him and slid it over her head. The helmet fell right down and covered Hermione's eyes.

'I can't see.' Hermione said tilting her head up. Rick laughs, and pulls the helmet off her head.

'Okay try this one instead.' Rick hands her a green and silver helmet. Draco raises his eyebrows. 'It's your house colors so you must like this one.' Draco shakes his head.

'Hermione isn't in Slytherin.' Draco says putting the helmet back on the shelf.

'Oh then take this one.' He says handing her a dark blue and black helmet.

'Rick she's in Gryffindor.' Draco says taking a Gryffindor helmet off the shelf sliding it over Hermione's head. Perfect fit.

'Gryffindor? Never thought your lucky girl would be from Gryffindor. Best house there is anyway.' Rick laughs, playfully punching Draco's shoulder. Draco rolls his eyes and slides on a Slytherin helmet. Rick pushes open a large door and leads them outside to a large racetrack. He pulls a wand out of his pocket, waves it once and 2 go-karts. 'Okay Draco teach Hermione how to use the controls. Peace I'm out.' Rick says, posing a peace sign and exiting through the door.

'Okay let me show you.' Draco says guiding Hermione to one of the Go-karts. He teaches her all the controls. 'Okay so are you ready?' Hermione gives a thumbs up and hops into her kart. They both start up their engines. 'Let's make a bet.' Draco yells over the noise of the engine. 'Whoever wins the race buys dinner.'

'It's on!' Hermione yells back. A loud voice suddenly starts the countdown.

'5-4-3-2-1 GO!'

Hermione floors the gas pedal and speeds forward leaving Draco in her dust. Not for long though, because Draco soon speeds by Hermione. She laughs and follows close behind him. They soon finish one lap with Draco close behind Hermione. The second lap finished and Hermione was coming in at a close second. As they neared the finish line on the final lap Hermione slammed on the gas pedal and flew over the finish line, right next to Draco. She slowed her cart down until it came to a final stop. Draco did the same and hoped out of his cart taking his helmet off. He began to laugh.

'That was awesome! You were great!' Draco says as Hermione takes off her helmet. He wraps his arm around her waist and spins her around. 'Did you have fun?'

'That was so much fun! I loved it! You better have brought money Draco, because I demolished you!' Hermione replied placing her hand on her hip.

'In your dreams! I believe you came in at a close second.' Draco replied grabbing her hand and went back into the building. 'There is a scoreboard in here that tells us the times.' Draco says leading her to a large board with Draco and Hermione's name on it. Draco's time popped up. '3 minutes 23 seconds. That's hard to beat. I think you will be buying dinner Hermione!' Hermione shakes her head.

'Look again! 3 minutes 22 seconds!' Hermione yells, and does a spin. Draco shakes his head in disbelief.

'Well done Hermione, never seen someone who could beat me. You're good. Come on lets get out of here.' Draco said wrapping an arm around Hermione's waist. Together they said by to Rick, and Grant, then left the building out onto the busy street. 'Since you are the winner, you can pick where you want to go for dinner.' Draco says.

'Have you ever heard of McDonalds?'

Draco sipped his large drink after finishing his meal.

'That is the best thing I have ever had. What did you say it was called?' Draco asked leaning back in the chair. Hermione swallowed her food and took a sip of her drink.

'A happy meal.' She said laughing. Draco smiled and pulled a toy out of the box.

'A toy? That's bludy ridiculous!' Draco said standing up. They dumped their trash in the garbage and left the fast food restaurant.

'I had a great night Draco.' Hermione said leaning again him.

'I'm glad you did.' He replied and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. 'We have to meet the stupid house elf over by that field.'

'Draco house elves aren't stupid.' Hermione replies. Draco doesn't answer and together they walk to the field. Plinky is already there waiting.

'Did you have a good night?' The small elf asked.

'A very good night, thanks.' Hermione replied taking one of Plinky's hands. Draco took one of Hermione's and together they apparated with a pop. In a couple seconds they arrived in front of Hogwarts.

'Goodnight.' Plinky said and disappeared, leaving Draco and Hermione alone.

'I'll walk you to your common room.' Draco said, entering Hogwarts. They walked in silence to the Gryffindor common room.

'Thanks for the night Draco. I had a really good time.' Hermione said letting go of Draco's hands.

'Me too. Thanks for giving me a chance Hermione. I promise you won't regret it.' Draco says. He stares at Hermione as a stray curl falls in front of her face. Slowly he tucks it behind her ear, looking into her eyes. 'Your beautiful Hermione.' Draco says. Hermione stares at him. Draco cups her face in his hands and closes the gap between them planting a soft kiss on her lips. As he kisses her, he wishes he could stay like that forever. Just her and him. Without a care in the world. They pull back, and smile.

'Goodnight Draco.' Hermione says and turns around, going into the common room. Draco smiles.
