Author's Note:
I am absolutely horrible! How long has it been since I last updated this story?
... I'm guessing, well no, I know its been about 9 whole months since I put up Chapter 9 but here I am now updating again.
Life sometimes has a tricky way of getting away from me, friends got in the way, parties, school, and surprisingly a boyfriend as well. But I'm back and now that things have kind of cooled down a little I'll now be able to update more frequently now that school is finally reaching a close…
But anyways here's the next chapter of
From Friends To…?
Chapter 1O
DRACO P.O.V.
Seeing Hermione disappear through the floo made something clench tightly in my chest... Trying to ignore this I walked into the kitchen where Blaise was packing up the left over Chinese food, which he would most likely take home with him. Leaving him to pack things I went to the bar counter and gathered the plates and wine glasses. Walking over to the sink I placed them in there to wash tomorrow morning before leaving for work. Leaning against the counter I let my mind wander off, not noting Blaise staring at me with obvious curiosity in his eyes.
*Why in Merlin's name did I have to develop these kinds of feelings for my best friend no less? I mean yeah sure we're friends but that's pretty much all there is to it ... The chances of her reciprocating these feelings we practically one in a billion at this point. But maybe I could change her mind or I don't know, in a way make her realize that deep down she might have the same feelings that I have for her ... Now I just have to figure out a way to do that without,
1) Letting her see that I already have romantic and more-than-friend-like feelings for her considering that she's now going to be living here and we are going to have to play pretend for the bloody media, and…
2) Without catastrophically destroying our friendship. *
"DRACO LUCIUS MALFOY WILL YOU GET OUT OF YOUR DAMN HEAD AND PAY ATTENTION TO WHAT I'M TRYING TO TELL YOU! FOR MERLIN'S SAKE!"
Hearing Blaise raise us voice immediately cause me to snap out of my dream like trance.
"Mhmm, you were saying what now?"
Blaise groaned comically at my lack of attention, which made me smirk as usual, he really was one for the dramatics.
"Draco what I was saying was that; don't you think things went well tonight with Hermione?"
I held the sarcastic retort that was on the tip of my tongue and just nodded my head, hoping my tense posture didn't give of my internal thoughts of how tonight went at full speed off of a cliff into a raging ocean with sharp pointy rocks.
Mia's face when Ginny proposed she stay living here while we carried out this whole fiasco nearly killed me, it was like the very thought of living with me was complete torture for her, did I really repulse her that much in a romantic sense…
Stopping my internal ramblings I cleared my throat and responded Blaise's question knowing he wouldn't be content with just a nod of approval.
"Yeah let's just say, for arguments sake, that tonight did go well and that Hermione practically having a heart attack at the idea of living here with me was completely normal and will lead to no problems between us whatsoever"
I uncrossed my arms and walked over to lean over the island in the middle of my kitchen as Blaise gathered everything to go home seeing as we both had work tomorrow morning.
"Oh come on, why do you always go to the extremes?
No problems are going to come out of Hermione staying here for the duration of this supposed relationship; you guys are best friends. Its no different from when she spent the night here when she was either too bloody tired to head back to her place or when Harry was over there with Ginny."
Thinking over what Blaise had just said, I felt my insides start to calm down a bit and leave the panic zone in which they had entered since earlier today.
With a sigh I said,
"Fine Blaise, you have a point. I just hope I don't mess this up."
Blaise chuckled as he walked out of the kitchen and headed toward the fireplace in my living room to floo out to his place,
"Trust me, this is easy, even you couldn't mess this up. Now goodnight, we both have work tomorrow and you have a date with the Lovely Mia so go to bed early."
Grimacing at the discreet insult my supposed mate had just said to me,
"Thank you Zambini, what would I do without your guidance? And goodnight see you tomorrow, and thanks for reminding me for the fiftieth time."
"No problem, always happy to help" He replied and flooed out of my flat and over to his place.
Shaking my head at the outrageous antics of my mate I ran my hand through my dishevelled hair and walked out of my living room, turning off the lights on my way out along with the Kitchen lights. Walking down the passage toward my room I couldn't hep but feel completely drained of all my energy and wanting to do nothing more than to jump in bed and go to sleep.
Entering my room I changed out of my clothes and into my pyjamas and unmade my bed and got in, flicking the lights out with my wand.
And once my head touched the pillow I felt myself being pulled under into unconsciousness… but just before I was fully succumbed in slumber, I swear that I whispered Hermione's name out loud along with a happy sigh…
I was falling more for her by the minute, and boy was I falling hard.
HERMIONE'S P.O.V.
Once Ginny and I got home I bid her goodnight and went to my room feeling completely drained physically, mentally, and especially emotionally
Dropping my bag and stripping down to my underwear I jumped on my bed and snuggled deep into my covers taking in the warmth and the safety that they were currently providing me. Grabbing my wand I turned off the lights and curled up ready to sleep when a thought invaded my sleepy mind, waking me up in seconds flat.
Tomorrow I have a "Date with Draco Malfoy, my best friend, and the guy I've been head over heels for these past 2 years and still counting.
Uncurling my body from its comfortable position. I lay down on my back and face the ceiling.
Bloody heel, I have my first date with Dray… and worst of all its not even real its all for a freaking publicity thing that in about no less than two months time will be over…
Why Is life so cruel? Shaking my head at my depressive side of me that loved to come out at all the perfect moments in my life.
Taking in a deep breath I tried to fill my head with positive thoughts that everything would go great tomorrow and that I wouldn't fuck up our friendship on the first pretend date.
I'll act the same as usual, just more girlfriend-like and with more sweetness and not so much as one of the guys… whatever the hell that means.
Also I won't squirm or fidget and act uncomfortable cause that would sure give things away.
So in all act like I'm a love-sick puppy, which, in reality I am, and the play sweet and totally in love card.
With that in mind I felt the sleepiness start to settle in my brain causing my eyelids to droop and my mind to shut down and carry me away to complete unconsciousness.
THE NEXT DAY: MORNING
HERMIONE'S P.O.V
:-: NEXT MORNING :-:
"Ginny pass me chart #105 please"
I said to Ginny who was working the nurses station while the nurses switched into their regular clothes after having worked the night shift and as the day nurses came in from a nights rest to take their place for their shifts.
Smiling at Ginny as she passed me she said brightly,
"Here you go 'Mione "
Taking it I opened I up to the right page number and started filing in important medical information that beloved to my patient and was crucial to have in his medical history that was and is his chart.
As I filled in some of the basic stuff I heard going clear her throat, which, most likely meant she had something on her mind and she was going to spill it sooner or later.
Clearing her throat once again she said nervously
"Hey 'Mione can I ask you something..."
"Sure Gin, what is it?" I said causally as I continued to write.
Looking up for a second I saw her messing with her engagement ring on her left ring finger...A nervous habit of hers and a dead give-away of it.
"Well... It's just that... Just don't get upset about what I'm gonna say 'Mione. Here goes, well I was just wondering what's gonna happen?"
Looking up at my best friend I tried to not look puzzled as to what she was asking.
"What do you mean what's gonna happen?"
Ginny nodded,
"Well yeah, I mean you and Draco are going to be together but you and him know it's just a publicity stunt and there's no actual feelings of love there... But I mean you do feel something, how are you going to feel just going back to being his best friend after having a taste of what I feels like to have him as a boyfriend, even if not as a real one..."
Putting down my pen in hand, I rested my head in my hands and thought for a bit. Ginny did have a point how in the name of Merlin am I supposed to just go back to being and acting like Dray's best friend after having him act towards me as a loving boyfriend...
Even if it's all just an act...
Shaking my head mentally I stood up straight and said
"Well Gin, I honestly don't have a clue as to how we are even going to pull off being a 'couple' but we'll manage one way or another, I'm not gonna let this whole situation complicate my life more than it already is, you know."
Smiling at me Ginny nodded her head in agreement.
"You're right 'Mione, I just hope that somewhere along the road Draco comes to see that he also has feelings for you so that maybe this whole scheme won't just go to waste, you know…"
Laughing lightly at Ginny's high hopes for something that if I believed in destiny, would clearly be written to never ever happen.
Finishing up my last patients chart I realized that I had nothing to do until one of the older year healers either paged me or if one of my patients goes into a code blue or something… Pray to Merlin that doesn't happen.
"Hey Gin seeing as your busy manning the nurses station hand me one of your patients cause if I don't find something to do until Draco gets here I might just lose the last remaining screws that are left in my head."
"Sure… Here take patient's #319 chart."
Taking the chart from her hands I couldn't really believe that our head healer had assigned Gin with a child case just yet. We still had a few more months before we could work with the little humans, as I like to refer to them. But then again not thinking much of it seeing as I absolutely nothing else left to do I said,
"Ok Gin I'll take care of that patient for you, see you later alright."
Sitting back down to play the new zombie game she had downloaded on her phone she called out as I walked away from the station to get the elevator to the designated ward.
"Don't forget about your lunch date, you don't wanna keep him waiting you know!"
Feeling my face burning up I started to quicken my pace towards the lift and trying not to think about all the possible people that heard her statement and would no doubt start-spreading gossip like a common cold virus throughout the whole hospital.
Once in the lift I took in a deep breath and tried to control my rattled emotions. Everything was happening to fast, I mean sure this plan is meant to calm down the prophet but if they get a slight wind of this they will be all over it this afternoon, making staging this thing even harder than it already is… Well not on my part, acting like a love sick puppy around the guy I love is a piece of cherry pie for me, it's just him I'm worried about.
Once on the right floor I walked out of the lift and made my way to the patients room, looking at the chart before entering the room I gathered that the patient is
Female, 8 years old, has a sprained wrist (Which is easy to fix with any basic healing spells but well, not everyone knows them…), and her name is Katarina Finnigan.
Mhmm Finnigan? Why does that sound familiar to me, OH WAIT! Seamus Finnigan.
Wow! He has a kid, who would have thought. Boy aren't I now even more depressed about my pathetic love life.
Knocking on the door I walked into the room and saw none other than,
Lavender Brown.
Of all the people he could have married, him being a quidditch star and all he chose Lavender Brown?
No matter I'm here to do my job and not get jealous about the fact that y ex-classmate seems to have a husband, a child and well… All the things I wish I had but haven't seemed to have reached in achieving by even 1%.
"Good morning Ms. Brown, I will be your daughters healer for the ady the other healer had prior assignments to attend to so I will be filling in for her."
Saying all of this I grabbed a chair and sat directly in front of her daughter.
"So Katarina could you please tell me what happened to you sweetheart?"
I asked sweetly looking up at her mother for permission who to my impression was none other than THE Lavender Brown…
I couldn't recall if I had read in the papers if she had gotten married to anyone, last I heard was that she was currently living in Scotland… So either she's moved back or she's on vacation…
She doesn't look that different since school; time has been good to her, I suppose… Lucky her, here I am single as always pining over my best friend who seems me as only that…
Focusing back on my work I looked at Katarina to see her sniffling and wiping away her tears with her left hand. Smiling sweetly at her I signalled that she could start telling me as to what happened.
"I was playing with my dollies in my roow when my mum called me down for lunch and I rawn out of my room and I forgot to pick up my toys in the hall when my mummy told me too so I twipped on them and fell down the staiws, and-and-and now I have a boo-boo on my awm and it huwts a wot"
You could tell that she is young by the way she speaks, and it's so adorable… By the end of her story she was sniffling and crying again, not standing to see a little kid cry, that's my weakness, I said,
"Katrina, sweetie don't cry I will –
"GRANGER! Don't you 'sweetie' my daughter! She should know better by now than to leave her toys lying around the house. If I have told her once I have told her a thousand times, 'Pick up your toys Katarina!'"
Trying to control my temper that was slowly reaching its boiling point due to this woman's words not only toward me but indirectly towards her innocent daughter who is the one that's injured and is most definitely not in the conditions to be lectured for an accident.
"It's Healer Granger to you , and must I say that yelling at me AND your daughter won't solve anything at this point so could you please keep your thoughts to yourself for the next half-hour while I try to make you daughter feel better. It would be greatly appreciated"
Seeing her ashamed and shocked facial expression made me feel a bit bitter about the situation. Sending her a sickly sweet smile her way I then refocused my attention on her daughter.
"Okay Katarina I am going to go get a potion for you to drink that will take away the pain and I will also bring a salve, which is a sticky cream so that every day three times a day your mummy will put it on your boo-boo to make it feel better and so that it heals faster ok?"
Nodding her head I stood up from my seat and left the consult room and went over to the potions lab that was a few doors down, seeing as there is one located on every floor. Going in I grabbed the potion and salve that were needed and went back to katarina and her mother.
After giving Katarina the potion and the salve to her mother I helped them check out of the hospital and sent them on their way.
Not really surprised but lavender didn't even say thanks, but hey that's the least of my problems at the moment. Looking down at my watch I saw that it was now almost 11 o'clock.
Quickly I headed towards the lift and went to my locker room to try and freshen up a bit before Dray got here to go out for lunch on our "date".
–––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
Draco's POV
(Next morning also…)
Sitting at my desk I worked on the new murder case that came in about two –weeks ago, and up until now we barely have any leads on. A witch was found drowned in her bathtub, but the funny thing is that her 'hair dryer' was found in her bathtub along with her. So in a way it was staged as an accident or a possible suicide but the prints that were found didn't match hers so those two options were ruled out, leaving it to be nothing more than plain murder.
To this day I find it so bizarre how some people are so stupid when it comes to this, I could kill someone and make it look like an accident and a good one at that... But I would never do that, well I know that now not so sure about that fact when I was younger.
Shaking my head to clear the fog that was settling over my brain, brining along with it some horrible memories and feelings.
As I continued to scribble away the notes on the file of the dead witch I let my thoughts wonder to what would, could possibly happen at lunch with Mia today…
KNOCK KNOCK
Well… I didn't get to dwell for too long– technically not at all since Blaise, standing at the door to my office holding about 15 files on hand and looking incredibly annoyed, interrupted me.
"Hey mate, are you finished filling out that file? William is asking for it along with all of these."
Nodding my head I finished putting some minor side notes and my signature before closing it up.
"yeah here you go Blaise"
Walking in he grabbed the file from my hand and added it to the pile he currently had in his arms.
Curiosity getting the better of me I decided to ask,
"Blaise; why exactly does William need you to collect all those files? Don't we usually give the to him at the end of the case. You know, once it's solved."
Scoffing he placed them all in one of the vacant leather chairs located across my desk while he occupied the other.
"That's where you're wrong my friend. The committee board have apparently decided to have a protocol change… again. All the paper work need to be done twice, a before and final of each and every case. These are all the before, so technically what you just did you will most likely have to do it again, at the end of the case."
Groaning I rested my head back against my chair as it began throbbing at the knowledge of having to do twice the paperwork for every case.
"Well that's great, real bloody great" I said loudly enough for Blaise to hear, my sarcasm not going without notice.
"But whatever at least we still have our daily simulated missions."
Blaise said taking me out from under my forming storm cloud.
Shrugging I replied, "well at least we still have that"
Nodding he crossed his legs and said,
"So mate, excited for your lunch date with Hermione?"
Dammit all to hell, I knew there had to be more than one reason as to why he decided to come to my office last.
Sighing loudly hoping he would note my annoyance so as to not keep asking anything more about said date I replied,
"Blaise let us not talk about this, shall we."
Practically bouncing in his seat like a hyperactive 5 year-old Blaise said,
"Oh come on Dray just tell me if you're nervous or maybe even hopeful about this!"
Looking at him as if he had lost his mind recently I scoffed and said,
"Hopeful? Excited? Blaise… I'm not a teenage girl excited about going to the fall dance or some bullshit like that. I have nothing to be excited for; the only thing I'm bloody hopeful for is that after this whole mess is through I still manage to keep my friendship with Hermione from turning into an unfixable mess. Or even that we don't mess up our 'act' on this so called date."
I could feel my heart beat starting to pick up as I felt myself start to panic at the words coming out of my mouth, my mind registering that technically any of the things I had just mentioned could actually happen.
Raising his hands in a sort of defence Blaise said,
"Ok mate, calm down. I'm just curious is all; this is sort of a big deal you know. This is Hermione who we're talking about, the last time she went out on a date was like a century ago–
"It was only 6 months ago." I cut in. Feeling pissed off at the mention of that pathetic event, the arsehole that took her out was nothing but that; an arsehole that just wanted to be seen with one of the golden trio… stupid prick.
–as I was saying a century ago. So I mean even if this shit is just for pretend it's gotta mean a bit to her to finally be going out on a date."
Huffing at his reasoning, which actually made some slick of sense for once I stood form my chair and walked over to my window to see the enchanted glass recreate the cloudy and dark weather from up above in central London.
"I know that it's gotta be a bit of a big deal for her and to be honest I am nervous but for her mostly. I mean it's not something she's accustomed to, I mean me I go out on dates all the time, sure its never with someone I'm looking to get too involved with but still a date's a date. She's bound to be a but uncomfortable about doing this, plus our friendship is kinda being put on the line here, and I can speak for the both of us when saying that that's not something that can be taken lightly."
Seeing as my back was turned I couldn't see that Blaise was nodding his head along to everything that I was currently saying. I continued to look out the window, my mood matching the weather quite well…
"Well mate, try not to stress over it too much, It will work out in the end, have a little bit of faith. You two have been real close these past few years. And it's shocking considering your past but still look the impossible happened and the both of you now know each other better than anyone else. So thing will work out, when it comes to you two they usually always do."
Smiling lightly at Blaise's thoughtful comment I turned around to face him and said,
"Well even though I don't like this, you do have a point there, guess we both will just have to 'act' our best."
Snickering Blaise stood up and gathered up the stack of files.
"Not much acting will be needed my friend. Natural chemistry, mate, natural chemistry."
Winking at me he then walked out of my office with what looked like a bounce in his step.
Alright, well I'm just going to pretend that that wasn't weird… at all.
Shaking my head at my friends crazy antics I sat back down at my desk and grabbed hold of another file for another case that I had to read through and fill but just as I was about to start on that I heard someone, that someone having to be Blaise, walk to my office door and say,
"Oh and mate don't let the acting lead to PDA just yet, wait 'till the 3rd date for that. Wouldn't want to scare little Hermione now will ya."
Feeling my face starting to flush red at his comment, I said in a clipped tone.
"Blaise you have better things to do than give me advice in my dating life so scram before I hex your arse so hard you won't be able to sit for a week."
Hearing him chucking I grabbed my wand and with a flick caused my office door to slam shut.
Momentarily forgetting the file that I was going to get started on I rested my head on my arms that were currently folded on my desk.
Trying to keep control on my already on-edge-nerves I took a few deep breaths I kept thinking repeatedly that everything was going to go great and be fine and that nothing absolutely nothing bad would happen.
Turning my head slightly to look at the small stack of paperwork and at the file that I had just picked I groaned and decided to at least get something done in the ten minutes I had left before my lunch break with Hermione.
Trying to ignore everything I grabbed the file that I had previously and started filling out the required information.
Stop thinking about her Malfoy,
Stop it. Stop it. Stop it. Stop it…
Merlin… Why me?
As my thoughts kept racing in my head I continued to write with my quill.
Feeling the time pass I looked up to see that I now had to head over to St. Mungo's for Hermione.
Just pretend it's like last week when you both went out to eat for lunch as well
Yeah it's kind of the same except it was in muggle London and we aren't trying to fool the press, but other than that it's the same. Thanks brain you just make things so much better.
Oh you know me, always trying to help.
Sure you are.
Closing off the internal conversation that I was having with myself I stood from my desk and magicked a mirror in front of me.
Doesn't hurt to want to look good for herm– wait the press, yeah the press.
Like she would care. Pfft…
Running a hand through my hair I looked into the mirror and repeated theses words out loud as another reassurance.
"Everything will work out, nothing will go wrong. It's all pretend, just pretend."
With that I magicked the mirror away and grabbed my coat. All the while I felt a pang in my chest, an aching feeling of sorts.
Deciding to shake it off as just the nerves I left my office, closing the door behind me. I headed to the lift to be on my way to see my girlfriend for lunch.
Oh the joy.
HERMIONE'S P.O.V
As I debated whether to change into my normal clothes or just go in my healer scrubbs my wand vibrated in my lab coat pocket. Pulling it oiut I swiched it to see a message come out,
"Healer Granger, Mr. Malfoy is here to see you, please come down to the lobby immediately where he's currently waiting, thank you. ;) "
Dear Merlin! Seriously a 'wink face', how old is our goddamn secretary, 15?
Rolling my eyes I decided to just change my top for my navy blue sweater seeing as the weather out today was a bit chillier than usual.
Placing my coat and top in my locker I made sure to close it before I walked out fo the locker room and jogged to the lift.
Best not to keep draco waiting, seeing as I'm his girlfriend and all.
Yeah right his girlfriend.
Well for now I am, even if it is pretend its gotta count for something. Right?
Groaning internally at the fact that I was once again having a conversation with myself I walked into the lift and and pressed the lobby button. With a lurk it started moving.
I'm seriously starting to sound like a lovesick puppy. Merlin, just be done with me already.
I could literally feel my heart beating hard against my chest cavity, and because of it I actually believe that it might just pop right out of my chest. Even with knowing that that is scientifically impossible.
Breathing in and out I kept calm until I saw that the automatic voice in the lift said lobby and the door began to slide open.
Yep my palms began to sweat, how incredibly attractive of me.
Deciding to give myself a pep talk before heading over to where I knew he was sitting reading whatever waiting for me to arrive I said to myself,
"Ok Hermione, calm down. Everything will be ok nothing will go wrong. Don't even think of it as a date, just pretend you going to lunch with one of your best friends like any other day of the week. You've done that vefore, its nothing else, no different."
Opening my eyes forgetting I had even closed them in the first place, I turned left to head to the lobby where I saw Draco in his smoking hot business suit that was accompanied with the tie that I had given him a few months ago for his birthday.
Merlin, that tie looks a million times better on him than on that mannequin in the store.
Snapping out of my thoughts I decided to start this act sooner than later, so plastering a bright smile on my face I squealed and ran to where draco was standing from his seat. Throwing my arms around him I kissed his cheek and said cheerfully,
"Merlin I've missed you! Sorry for having you kept waiting Dray the lift just seemed to have decided to take its sweet time."
Seeing as my back was to the receptionist I raised my eyebreows at Draco hoping he would get the hint to stop looking so freaking surprised and to give me a bloody reaction already.
Ok Dray, do something or even say something for merlins sake, where's the credibility in this if im the only one acting so goddamn unnatural.
Almost as if reading my thoughs he laughed whole heartedly anf hugged me tightly. Feeling his body so deliciously close to mine and feeling the way his chest vibrated from his laughter was doing nothing more but set my insides on fire.
"Oh love its alright it was worth the great if that's the kind of greeting I get, and must I say you look ravishing today."
Hearing him say that, to me no less caused a blush to settle on my face in 3 seconds flat and seeing as it took my voice away as well all I could do was slap his bicep in a playful manner and choke out,
"You're ridiculous. I hope you know that."
"Yes I do but I know you love me that way."
I literally felt myself do a double take for a second almost believing him to have discovered that I actually do love him and not in a best friend kind of way. In the way that gets me bothered under the collar when he's shirtless and gets me green with jealousy when I know he's out with a blonde ditz.
Thankfully I recovered quickly enough for him not to notice so going back to acting I slowly got out of the hug and took his hands in mine and said with a smile on my face,
"Lucky for you that I do, now why don't we head of to lunch I'm famished. Where should we go today?"
"Eight, right, so let's head off so that I can get you fed. How about the new café in Diagon Alley we haven't been there yet."
Nodding my head I turned around to tell the receptionist that I would be back in an hour and if I got any messages to keep them 'till I got back something I usually never did. She herself realized that because her jaw kind of slackened a bit as her face adopted an expression of complete shock and bewilderment.
With that we both walked out of St. Mungo's and started heading toward the apparation point about 2 blocks away.
We walked in silence for a few seconds not realizing that I still had a hold of his hand until I heard him cough lightly. Looking down I felt my cheeks flush red I dropped his hand in an instand and crossed my arms as we kept walking.
"Mia, umm.."
"Yes Draco?"
Looking up I saw him staring at me quite strangely.
Smirking he turned away from me and said, "nothing, just– well– I wasn't expecting that as your hello greeting is all."
God that smirk of his is definitely going to be the death of me.
"Well you know me, go big or go home. Plus we have to make this credible so well I decided to make it realistic. I mean if I just greeted you with a small hug and said 'Hey Draco'… Well I don't see how that would make this believable."
I replied defiantly, knowing that I was getting a bit snappy about it. I mean if we keep referring to this as pretend its going to keep bugging me.
Because well, I just want it to be real…
Sighning internally I wrapped my arms around me to sort of get rid of the aching feeling in my chest.
"I'm sorry Mia I was just surprised is all I knew I should have been prepared but I guess I wasn't but now I know that I am so here goes nothing, right?"
Hearing his bright and happy tone of voice, a tone of voice that had you told me a few years ago that he had I would have laughed in your face, I smiled brightly and pushed the aching feeling in my chest away and decided to intertwine my arm with his as we got closer to the apparation point.
"You're right Dray and well before we get any more into this I don't wanna hear you saying thank you anymore Ok? It's fine im your friend I would do anything for you. The thank yous' are starting to drive me crazy."
Laughing loudly he nodded his head in agreement and kissed me lightly on the cheek as we continued to walk. A few minutes later we reached the apparating point.
So looking at each other I plastered a fake and bright smile on my face and said,
"Well Mr. Malfoy get into your acting mode because in a few secondwe will have some press to fool so shall we?"
Smirking he replied, "We shall Ms. Granger."
Both laughing loudly at our childish antics we smiled brightly at each other. So as draco pulled out his wand I suddenly felt the familiar tug of apparation, and well–
With that we landed in the archway to the entrance of Diagon Alley a few second after.
Here goes nothing…
