Chapter 29: Shopping and a Dinner Date
The next morning when Draco told Hermione of his plan for that evening, she was excited beyond belief. At the moment, however, she did not feel at all excited. It was eleven in the morning and Draco was at work, Nick was playing in his bedroom and Hermione had raided her whole wardrobe in search of something appropriate to wear for that night, but nothing she had seemed to fit the requirements. It was either too casual (Draco had told her to dress fancy) or too medieval. She sat on the floor of her bedroom her entire wardrobe spread out around her, there was a frustrated scowl set upon her face. Narcissa walked into the bedroom at that moment at stared in shock at the mess surrounding her.
'What on earth is going on?' she asked Hermione
'I can't find anything to wear for tonight' complained Hermione.
'Well let's see what you have got' said Narcissa picking at her clothes. Her nose wrinkled in disgust as she saw what her future daughter in law found appropriate to wear, even she was more up to date than that. 'This is terrible Hermione (Hermione blushed), I think I will take you shopping right now and buy you a whole new wardrobe'
'You don't have to do that Narcissa' mumbled Hermione
'But of course I do, I must teach you to dress properly, after all Malfoy women have to be presentable. Now come along, we'll be leaving shortly'
Hermione sighed at got up. She asked Narcissa what would they do with Nick, but Narcissa simply stated that the house elves would take care of him, she also said that she could invite Ginny, the two seemed pretty close to her. Hermione happily agreed, at least that would take away some of the awkwardness that would linger is she were to go with Narcissa alone. She'd never gone shopping with her by her self, Draco was always there.
Twenty minutes later Hermione, Narcissa and Ginny stood in the living room of the Malfoy Manor. The three apparated to a large wizarding mall, Hermione had been here before as this is where she bought most of her wedding things but Ginny stared in awe around her, she told Hermione how lucky she was to have a rich husband like Draco.
'Ah lets start here shall we' said Narcissa leading them to a lingerie shop named Witches Secrets (she had secretly told the house elves to burn all of Hermione's clothes, she wouldn't even remember them after today). Ginny walked into the shop, a bounce in her step, but Hermione hesitated outside the door for a second before following the two inside.
'How can I help you' greeted the saleswoman
Soon Hermione was pushed into the change rooms where she tried on numerous sets of underwear. She was shocked at the style of them, she had complained about this to Narcissa but she just told her 'Nonsense all young ladies your age wear them, why should you be any different?' Half and hour later Hermione walked out carrying a large bag. I can't believe I just spent a thousand galleons on underwear she thought. She did not voice thoughts however, instead wondered what Draco would think if he saw her wearing some of the things her mother in law had just made her buy. Just the though made her blush furiously.
Next they went looking for dresses. They looked in a few shops purchasing numerous outfits. It was in a shop named Sparked that Hermione found what she was looking for. It was a sparkling red knee length dress that fitted Hermione's curves nicely. She wasn't that far along in her pregnancy to worry about a baby bump. The dress showed of quite a bit of her cleavage, but for once Hermione did not mind. When she walked out of the change room the saleslady, Narcissa and Ginny gasped in delight and told her how beautiful she looked.
'You'll have Draco drooling over you tonight' whispered Ginny, making Hermione giggle.
After purchasing the dress they shopped for matching jewellery, bags and shoes and after eating lunch, the three ladies made their way to a large beauty parlour at the back of the mall. There they all got manicures, pedicures and facials. Hermione got her hair done. She decided she wanted to get gold highlights and got her hair cut into layers and styled into elegant waves. Her makeup make up consisted of black eyeliner, mascara, sparkling silver eye shadow and red lipstick to match her dress glazed with shiny lip gloss. They arrived home with about half an hour until Draco got back. Ginny bade her goodbye and good luck and flooed back to her place, thanking her as well for the shopping spree
Hermione dressed quickly. She put on her dress and silver earrings, necklace and shoes to match. Just as soon as she finished and looked at her self in the mirror, Draco walked into the room, his eyes widening as her took her in. He was dressed to kill in a white tuxedo. His hair platinum blonde fell into his eyes. He was holding a single rose in his hand.
'Hi' said Hermione
Snapping out of his thoughts, Draco walked over to where Hermione was standing and kissed her. He then pulled away and said 'you look beautiful'
Hermione blushed 'you don't look too bad yourself'. Draco chuckled and gave her the rose. She fingered it and looked into Draco's slivery eyes before pulling him into a kiss.
'We should get going' said Draco.
Hermione agreed and followed him out of the bedroom after grabbing her purse. 'How are we getting there?' she asked
'Flying' replied Draco simply.
'Oh no Draco, you can't be serious'
'Oh but I am'
'Draco I'm afraid of heights'
'Then the time has come, my dear, to conquer that little fear of yours' said Draco grinning before leading her into the back yard.
His Firebolt was there in front of them, suspended in mid air. Draco mounted it easily and looked expectantly at Hermione. After a bit of hesitation she perched on the broom in front of Draco so that both her legs were on one side. She trusted Draco; she knew he wouldn't let her get hurt. But the second he kicked of the ground, Hermione shrieked horribly, threw both her arms around Draco's waist and buried her head in his chest. Draco merely chuckled looking down at her. Hearing him laugh, Hermione looked up into his eyes, her own eyes wide.
'There's nothing to be afraid of' whispered Draco 'look around you Hermione'
As Hermione turned to look, a small gasp escaped her lips. 'It's beautiful Draco' she breathed
'Yes it is' agreed Draco.
For the rest of the flight Hermione enjoyed the views of the stars surrounding her, the city lights below her and the cool night air. It wasn't long before they arrived. They landed on the balcony of a rather expensive looking restaurant. There was a table for two set up, candles illuminating the gold plates and silverware. The balcony overlooked the ocean, and it all brought tears to Hermione's eyes. They took their seats and a waiter walked in and gave them their menus and left them to make their choices. It was mainly seafood and Draco decided to go with lobster and in the end Hermione ordered the same thing. Their dinner was served not too long after that. They ate talking all the while about simple things.
After dessert Draco suggested they go for a walk. They both made their way down the narrow staircase that led them straight to the beach. Hermione instantly removed her shoes and ran to the water, Draco following her. The two walked holding hands, the waves lapping at their ankles. A little way along the beach, Draco pulled Hermione into a passionate kiss. He deepened the kiss and Hermione complied. It was then that a wicked idea popped into Hermione's head. She moved her hands from Draco's neck to his shoulders, in a way that to him appeared to be seductive, but as soon as she reached his shoulders, she pushed him. Shocked beyond belief at the sudden movement Draco fell into the water.
'Hermione!' he exclaimed. Hermione just laughed at him as he sat there, the water ruining is tux. 'You'll pay for that one'
'What do you-'
But before she could say anything else Draco pulled her down into the water with him. Hermione gasped in surprise. Draco rolled over so that he was lying on top of her. 'Draco you're ruining my new dress' she said.
'Well you ruined my suit' he replied before kissing her again. Soon their kiss grew more and more passionate, and the waves kept coming in, soaking them both. It was when Draco's hand slipped under Hermione's dress that she pulled away.
'Draco, we should go home' she whispered.
'Yeah we should' replied Draco standing up and pulling Hermione up with him. They walked back towards the hotel and their balcony. It took longer than necessary, because Draco kept pulling Hermione in for a kiss. When they finally got there Draco said 'we'll apparate, we freeze to death if we fly' and with that he wrapped his arm around Hermione's shoulder and apparated them both into their bedroom (he had already paid before, and had given the waiter a very generous tip).
Once they were in their bedroom, the two didn't wait a second longer before literally jumping on each other. They kissed fiercely and Draco walked them to the bed. He crawled on top of Hermione and trailed kisses up her cheekbone and down her neck, leaving small red marks along the way. Hermione just moaned at his every touch, running her hands through his wet hair and removing his jacket and eventually his shirt. Draco then removed her dress and taking one look at her underwear, he smirked up at her making Hermione blush furiously. They made love until they were too exhausted to do any more. In the end they both curled up under the covers and fell asleep, but not before whispering to each other:
'I love you Hermione'
'I love you too Draco'
