A Day To Remember
"Hermione, wanna go to Hogsmade?" Ron asked.
"We want to go to that broom store, I heard it has a sale on all brooms." Harry commented.
"Hogsmade? Sounds fun, sure I'll come with you. That is after my homework." She smiled.
The two boys looked at the tower of books and parchment that towered over her.
"When do you think you might be done?" Harry asked.
"If I don't get interrupted and I cut back on all the extra details I might be finished by lets say, 3:30?"
Ron looked at the clock that hung on the wall. 9:00 "We might leave earlier then that."
"If you leave earlier then you will go without me. I am not skipping homework just so I can go shopping at Hogemade!" She started doing homework for her Muggle studies. "And no I am not helping you with any of your homework."
"Yeash." Ron grumbled.
Harry and Ron walked slowly out of the Library.
Hermione sighed. Another 5 inches of Parchment to write.
"Hermione?"
She looked at who was calling her name, Draco.
"Yes Draco?"
"I was wondering if you wanted to go to Hogsmade with me?"
Her heart started thumping like mad as she uttered these words, "Yes, I would love to go to Hogsmage with you. Just let me finish my homework."
"Come to the Great Hall when you are done. I will be waiting for you." He quickly left the Library so fast that it seemed like that short conversation never even happened. She kept on telling herself that it was real, Draco just asked her to go to Hogsmade with him but, it was just so hard to believe. Draco just asked her to go to Hogsmade! With himself, Draco! She thought of all that could happen. The two of them walking down the streets of Hogmade, talking, maybe even holding hands, then going to Ron and Harry and tell them all that happened. It then struck her. Harry and Ron, they to had invited her to Hogsmade. Surely they would understand when they find out that she went with Draco. No, no they wouldn't. Boys never understand. Her throat started to get dry. What am I to do? I can't go with Harry and Ron because of Draco. I can't go with Draco, what about Harry and Ron? What about not going with either of them? Nope, that won't work. I want to go with Draco. Harry and Ron will understand. Well I hope they do.
Her homework was rushed. Any of the teachers who were to read it would never have guessed that little-perfect Hermione had done it. But at the time Hermione didn't care about school or homework. Love gets to you sometimes. You will do almost anything to get it. Hermione is always great in school, always listens; never thought love was like this. Now she knows, and is it doing any good? Usually she would put her homework neatly in her bag, but not this time now it was piled in a great big heap in her bag most of the parchment were all scrunched up. She ran to the common room and threw the bag on her bed. Quickly she tided up her messy, brown hair and dashed out of the room.
The Great Hall was nearly empty except for Draco, Goyle and Crabbe. She slowly made her way to Draco who was sitting at the Slytherin table talking to Goyle and Crabbe.
"Hermione you're here. I thought you were never going to make it with that great big pile of homework you had." He smiled and her heart began to thump faster then usual. "Goyle, Crabbe get lost."
"Uh, why?" Crabbe asked.
"Because I said so." He replied coldly while still looking at Hermione. She felt her face grow hot.
"Fine, meet you in the um, common room." They both walked out snickering like they always do.
"Well, are you ready?"
"Oh yes are you?" Her voice was softer then it usually was she didn't even recognize it as her own.
"Well then we are off then." The two of them both walked out of the Great hall and made their way to Hogsmade. Hermione felt uneasy the whole way. What if Harry and Ron were there and they saw her and Draco and found out she ditched them? What if they never speak again? What if…
"Hermione are you ok?"
"Ya, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"
"You are breathing so hard. I was a little worried there." His face looked kinda concerned. Was she really breathing that hard? What if he makes fun of her in front of his friends?
"Well, um it happens. I think I'm coming down with a cold or something." She didn't think before speaking. What she just said made no sense at all. Did it make sense to him?
"Oh, want to go to the nurse or something?" He asked.
"That's ok. It's not that bad." She pretended to cough. She knew Draco could tell that she was faking but he didn't say anything. Her face was bright red. She wasn't going to be surprised if he started to laugh and called her a tomato or something.
"Are you sure your ok?"
"Ya of course I am, never felt better." She put a smile on her face and asked if he wanted to go to the bookstore, of course he agreed and they were in the bookstore in no time.
"Oh look at this book!" She put her face against the glass the protected people from people getting at it. "It is so beautiful."
Draco pulled himself away from the level 6 book of curses and spells to see what Hermione was fussing about.
" Quidditch before Quidditch now. Why would you want that Hermione? It's Quidditch!"
"Ya I know but it would be a nice gift for Harry." She put her hand in her pocket and pulled out a leather pouch. "It's only 15 sickles and 5 knuts. I have enough."
"Oh, ok then I will be over in this section if you need me." He went back to the book he had been staring at before Hermione had interrupted him. While he was looking at the curse book his eye's fell upon a red book with the words ' Love potions and more!' He thought of love and Hermione, he thought of doing curses on Harry and Ron, he thought of Hermione and how he could make her become his. Cursing Harry and Ron or possibly having Hermione all to himself? It was pretty obvious what he was going to pick. He snatched the Love book and looked at its price. 1 galleon and 2 knuts. The exact price the curse book was. If he bought the love book he wouldn't have enough money for anything else but maybe buying something for Hermione. But Draco would do anything to have Hermione. So he was going to buy the love book. He would buy the curse book some other time. He hid the book under his cloak and walked to the clerk.
"I would like to buy this book." He placed the money on the counter and waited patiently for the clerk to say something in return.
"Love? I have never seen such thing. You want to buy a love book? Where did this book come from? Where did you get it?"
Draco blushed. "I just want to buy the book enough with all the questions."
The clerk raised his eyebrow then snatched the money from where Draco and placed it.
"Good day to you."
"Same to you." Draco replied coldly. That clerk was just plain weird. He didn't even know that book was on his shelves. He should know what he selling before he actually sells it. Draco thought. Hermione was waiting outside the store flipping through the paged of the book she had purchased.
"Did you get anything?"
"No nothing I saw I liked. Want to go to the candy store?"
"That's ok with me." She was not afraid to say anything to him anymore. She felt like she could say anything to him she wanted to tell him how much she liked him she wanted to tell him everything but, now was not the time.
The two strolled down the streets of Hogsmade once more and entered the candy store.
"Oh! Fred and George would love this, chocolate grasshoppers that bounce in your mouth." Ron had his face pressed against the glass of the chocolate grasshoppers. "Wish I never spent all my money at the joke shop."
"Ron I'll them for you I still got 3 galleons left."
"No you bought me enough already." Ron replied.
"Fine then I wont buy them for you."
"Fine then don't." Ron withdrew his face from the glass and looked around the store. He noticed Draco and Hermione together and stared at them. "Nice of you to show up Hermione." Ron scowled.
Hermione would never forget Harry's face when he saw Draco and Hermione together.
"Hermione, I thought you were going to come with us when you were done all your homework." He uttered.
"Well, I kinda forgot." Hermione couldn't look them in the eye so she looked at her feet.
"You don't forget doing things like going to Hogsmade with your friends! You just chose not to go with us because lover boy Draco asked you and oh! You just couldn't resist!" Ron glared at her. Her heart sank it was the first time Ron had ever glared at her.
"Ron you never understand!"
"Yes I do Hermione. And I understand very will it's you who doesn't understand!" He grabbed Harry's arm and started to pull him out of the store. "I hope you have a nice afternoon with Draco!" The two of them stormed out of the store. Harry stared at her with shocked eyes she had never seen his look so disappointed. Draco had a smile on his face.
"Their just jelous Hermione."
"Draco I have to go right now I will see you at the tower at about 8:00." She ran out of the store after Harry and Ron. Draco was left in the store with everyone staring at him.
Didn't need that curse book after all. Draco thought.
"Hermione, wanna go to Hogsmade?" Ron asked.
"We want to go to that broom store, I heard it has a sale on all brooms." Harry commented.
"Hogsmade? Sounds fun, sure I'll come with you. That is after my homework." She smiled.
