Enjoy! :)

"Stop procrastinating, and get it done mate!"

Draco glared at his best mate, Blaise Zabin. "I'm not procrastinating. I'm waiting for the right moment, that's all."

Blaise looked at Draco in disbelief.

"What?" Draco asked defensively. "You've got something to say to that?"

"It's never the right moment with you!"

Draco narrowed his eyes. "I just want it to be special. As far as I'm concerned, that's not a crime."

"You've had the opportunity to ask her out every single day! For Merlin's sake, you've been working as Head's for half a year already."

"I'll ask her out when the moment is right," Draco all but snarled.

"If you won't do it, then I will."

Draco looked at Blaise in surprise. He had a rather determined look on his face. "You wouldn't dare."

Blaise smirked. "I'll be right back." And with that, he exited the room.

Draco stood transfixed in his spot for a few seconds before having the sense to go after him. He cursed Blaise as he rounded a sharp corner.

"So Hermione, what do you think?" Blaise said loudly as he saw Draco approach.

Hermione lookes at Blaise curiously before nodding slowly. "Sure. I'll go this Friday, right?"

Draco glared at Blaise."Wait, Hermione!"

She looked confused. "Yes?"

"I've been meaning to ask you something for awhile," Draco took a deep breath. "Will you go out with me to Hogsmeade? As in a date?"

"You want to go out with me?" She repeated slowly. Draco nodded nervously. He knew he should have waited for the right moment.

"That is if you want to." Draco added quickly.

She blushed a lovely crimson color. "Um, er. Yeah, I'd love to."

"So, Friday?" He asked. He wouldn't let her go with Blaise.

She hesitated. "Well, you see . . ."

"Oh, it's alright, Granger," Blaise said ,winking at Draco. "I can study by myself."

"Study?" Draco echoed.

"Yeah. What did you think we were talking about?" Blaise grinned mischievously.

"Sod off."
