Thanks for all the reviews.

I do not own Harry Potter or any other characters; J.K Rowling does! The storyline however is mine.

Ch.26

Draco awoke with a wide smile on his face as he remembered the events of the previous night. Since it was a Sunday and all classes were out, he planned to pop by the kitchen and grab a picnic basket. It was a sunny day when he woke up and he had devised an outing that would help convince Hermione that he was her mate as well as get her to trust him.

Walking past a mirror he stopped and thought to himself, "what's happened to you. You're Draco Malfoy, you aren't supposed to be planning a date with a mudblood," shaking his ahead to clear his mind of those thought, he made his way to his closet to pick out a set of clothes.

He then proceeded to change and went to knock on Hermione's door. After knocking a few times he decided to wake her up, shouting through the door he said, " hey Granger, wake up, change into something casual and meet me in the common room in two hours." He grinned when he heard a muffled groan from the other side of the door. Walking to his room he grabbed a few things and went to go grab the picnic basket from the kitchens.

Hermione had been having a rather nice dream about a very large library when she heard Draco's voice call out to her through her door. Sticking her head out of her cocoon she heard him say, "hey Granger, wake up, change into something casual and meet me in the common room in two hours."

Groaning in agreement she fell asleep as soon as she heard his footsteps recede, but not before setting an alarm for the next hour. She tried, unsuccessfully, to grasp the dream she had been having before but to her dismay she dreamt of Ron's kiss which caused her to jerk awake. She looked at her alarm clock once again, grumbling when she saw that she had one and a half hours left to get ready.

Dragging herself out of her bed, she thanked Merlin that Ginny had managed to convince her to keep some of make-up and clothes. Pulling out a ruby red sleeveless shirt and another tight pair of black jeans and her favourite leather boots, she placed them on her bed and went into the bathroom. Filling the tub and adding some cinnamon and honey scented oils she soaked for around half an hour before getting out and changing into her laid out clothes.

She took her time dressing up and then went to the small chest in the corner of her room, pulling out the make-up Ginny had left from the previous day. She put on the red lip-gloss that matched the exact shade of her shirt and light eyeliner. When she was done she stared at her hair, trying to pick what style to do on her now wavy hair, she finally decided to leave it down, adding a simple gloss up spell. Looking at her clock she saw that she still had fifteen minutes left so she sat on her bed and picked up the book she had been reading, continuing it. She had immersed herself so fully in the book that she was startled when she heard the portrait open. Glancing at the clock again she saw that Draco was right on time, but Hermione felt slightly disgruntled at the early wakeup call she had received so she cast a silencing charm on her room and decided to keep Draco waiting a little while longer as she continued her book.

Draco had picked up some things and made his way to the common room, making sure that he was on time. Looking around for any sign of Hermione, he felt slightly disappointed. Knocking on her door, which gave him a sense of déjà vu, he called her, when he received no reply he tried shouting for her. When he received no reply again he thought to himself, "damn! This is her way of getting back at me for waking her up so early; she must have cast a silencing spell, hmm! Wait I know a counter spell." Grinning he muttered the counter spell and flung open her door.

He stood shocked at the sight that awaited him, Hermione lay on her bed wearing a red shirt and tight jeans which made him want to jump on her. Her head was turned in the direction of the door and her eyes were narrowed in irritation.

Hermione had just been getting to the really good part of her book when her door slammed open revealing an open mouthed Draco. Sitting up she said, "Malfoy what's wrong with you? Close your mouth before a fly decides to sit in it," before setting her bookmark in the place where she had stopped.

Draco finally managed to close his mouth and said, "Wow Granger, you clean up well but you're late, let's go," as he walked over and pulled her with him.

Hermione struggled playfully for a little while before letting him drag her. When Draco had managed to tug her out of her room he said, "well c'mon we have a deadline," before turning is heel and walking out of the door, leaving Hermione to follow with a curious look on her face.

Well that's the end of this chapter, don't worry I made it short for a reason. Okay so end of this chapter, I'll post another soon.
