Hermione picked up a piece of turkey with her fork and popped it in her mouth. She looked across the table at Lucius. She opened her mouth but quickly shut it. She was worried that if she started talking, she'd end up babbling and bore Lucius with details that he didn't care about. It was something she usually did when she was nervous.
She had never intended to go on a date with Lucius Malfoy, and she certainly had never intended to develop feelings for him, but here she was. Both things had happened and now Hermione felt lost, unsure of what to do or how to even talk to the man that could be quite intimidating.
Lucius's eyes glittered as he smiled at her, a smile that sent tingles throughout her whole body. "Just relax," he murmured.
"It's hard. I like you, and I'm afraid I'll make a fool out of myself."
"I wouldn't be here if I didn't feel something for you. So, be the girl that I feel something for."
Hermione picked up her wine glass and just before taking a sip, she said, "I think I can do that."
