Ch.11
They next few weeks went by fast. Hermione was growing closer to Draco every day. They shared their days together, and never left each others sights for more then a couple of minutes. Hermione was also becoming close to Narcissa. They would talk for hours together about their lives and their mates. Draco made Hermione nervous at these times, for he was very reluctant to leave her for too long.
She liked having Draco around, but sometimes, he would become to protective. It made her feel like a child. This happened a lot when Harry or Ginny came to visit. With Ginny, he was better, but with Harry, he was there every second. He did not trust anyone with his mate, especially another man.
Ron had not come back at all, Hermione was surprised when Ginny told them that no one had seen him in weeks. Draco tried to console her, after all it wasn't really her fault. Hermione felt like a bad person, but then she would look at Draco and realize that she would never be able to be without him. What they had, she never expected to have with anyone. He never treated her mean, or did anything to make her uncomfortable. He made sure that she had everything that she needed and that she was never left wanting.
They spent their days in the garden, or in the sitting rooms of the Manor. After weeks of this, Draco began seeing how restless Hermione was becoming. "Is there something wrong?" He asked one day while they were sitting in the garden. Hermione shook her head, not wanting to start a fight.
"What is it Hermione? Its no use trying to hide it, I can feel your restlessness." Draco said. Hermione sighed, knowing he was not going to let this go. "I love being here with you, I do, but, sometimes I just get restless. I want to go somewhere, have fun." She said. Draco didn't say anything for a long moment and she was afraid that he was upset. When she looked up at him, she was shocked to see him smiling.
"What?" She asked uncertainly. "You know you could have just asked, right? I can take you anywhere you want to go. I wouldn't make you stay here all the time, I thought you were content. Forgive me, I should have asked." Draco said grinning. Hermione let out a breath she didn't realize she was holding. "No, it isn't your fault. I should have told you." She said, slightly embarrassed.
"Do you have a certain place in mind, or are you just wanting to go somewhere?" Draco asked. Hermione thought about this for a moment before grinning broadly. "Actually, I have a place that we can go. I wont tell you yet, but we can go tonight!" Hermione said excitedly. "Why cant I just know now?" Draco asked, confused. "Well I want to surprise you, plus I am not sure you would agree if I told you." Hermione said with a bigger grin.
"Hermione, don't do this to me, you know that I can be dangerous." Draco said, regretting now ever asking her what she wanted to do. "Oh it's okay, I don't think that we would have to worry about anything like that. We are going to go somewhere that we wont know anyone, and they wont know us. I doubt anyone will come up to us, they will see that we are a couple. It will be fine, I promise." She said. Draco didn't look convinced, but Hermione just giggled and kissed him.
Hermione knew that this was probably a risky move, but she really didn't think that anything bad would happen. She was going to take Draco to a muggle dance club. She hadn't wanted to tell him, she was afraid he wouldn't go. This way, he didn't really have a choice, and by the time he figured it out, it would be too late.
As the day dragged on, Hermione started getting nervous. What if someone decided to come up to her. What would Draco do? She wasn't conceited, but she wasn't blind either. She knew that she was attractive. What is someone else decided she was to? As they dressed for the evening, Hermione almost convinced herself not to go. "What is it?" Draco asked when he saw that she had paused in doing her hair. "Nothing, I just thought that maybe I will take you somewhere else. I don't want anything bad to happen tonight." Hermione said.
"I can control myself a little now. I have been practicing with my father. If something happens, I may get mad, but I think that I can hold it in until we are gone." Draco reassured her. "You said it yourself earlier, you can be dangerous, I don't want you or someone else hurt because of me." Hermione said, shaking her head.
Draco thought of this for a moment, then got an idea. "Okay, why don't I chose where to go, then you will feel safe and not have to worry so much about something happening." Draco said. Hermione nodded, feeling better now. Draco tried to think of the perfect place to take her. When he did, a smile crept onto his face.
When Hermione was finished, Draco took her hand and Apparated out of the Manor. Hermione looked around a fairly lit street. There were many people on the street with them. They were all dressed up, with smiles on their faces. "Where are we?" She asked, as he took her hand.
Well we are in Italy, in Milan. We are going to go to a restaurant called, Bella Vista, then, we are going to find a nice quiet club to spend our evening." He said. Hermione looked around at the street. She had always wanted to come to Milan, it was weird how he had picked here, of all places.
They found the restaurant easily, it was such a cute little place. It was small, but it was dimly lit with candles and the food was amazing. They talked happily while they ate, enjoying this night out together. Afterwards, they set off to find a club.
They had only been walking for a moment when Hermione heard her name. She looked around the alley they had just turned into, trying to see another person besides Draco and herself.
She turned to find Ron coming their way, a look of determination on his face. She turned to Draco, who looked ready to fight. She grasped his hand, looking over at Ron. She noticed that Draco seemed to become less angry at her touch, and snuggled closer to him. Ron seen this and began to get angry. "Hello Ron, how are you?" Hermione said as he came closer. She could smell the alcohol on him, and knew that this was not going to turn out good. "I am just fine, no thanks to you." He mumbled. "Watch it Weasel." Draco growled.
This seemed to make Ron realize why he had stopped her. "Hermione, I am begging you, come to your senses. This is utterly ridiculous, its Malfoy!" Ron slurred. "Ron just go home, please, everyone is really worried about you. They want you to come back, I want you to come back." Hermione said, trying to keep the situation calm.
"I can't go back there, you know I can't. I can't stand there and watch you with that thing! I love you, I want you to come with me now!" Ron said, coming closer. "I swear Weasel, if you do not get the hell away, I will hurt you." Draco said, as Hermione stepped back. "Ron, I'm sorry, I wont leave Draco, I love him." Hermione said sadly. '
For a minute there were no words. Ron looked at her in disbelief, as if he didn't hear her right. "Your coming with me now Hermione." He said in his drunken haze. He grabbed her arm and Hermione knew that he had made the worst mistake in his life.
