Hermoine couldn't believe her eyes. Draco Malfoy? Here? With her mind spinning she jumped up and started to leave. Without hesitation Draco followed her out trying to keep up with her.
"'Moine! Wait up!" he said as he grabbed her arm to spin her around.
As she came face to face with Malfoy, without warning he hand flew up and slapped him. "You fucking bastard" she spat With her eyes ablaze she turned back around and started to walk off leaving him standing there with a shocked look on his face.
'What the hell have I done?' Malfoy thought. "Great first impression" the thought. With his shoulders slack he walked off into the other direction in search of a Muggle cab to take him back home.
:: The next Day::
As day broke everything seemed the same, well to everyone else. Hermoine had been up half the night trying to figure out what had transpired between her and Malfoy the night before.
"What was he up to?" she kept asking herself. She couldn't believe he would play with someone's emotions like that. Sure during her last few years at Hogwarts she had developed a crush on the popular Slytherin, no one knew about it , who could she tell? Ron? Harry? They would surely kill him since they would think that he did something to create that crush in her. She couldn't tell Ginny, as much as she loved her like a sister she couldn't keep a secret. So there is stayed buried inside of her. She was almost over it too, until last night.
He had changed though she knew it. After their last battle with Voldemort his family had suffered a huge problem. They had lost all their money and in Voldemorts' last attack they had lost their lives. From the rumors she had found out that Draco was living in the Muggle world and not in the wizard one. She had concluded that he was probably on the run from the Ministry or in fear of Voldemorts' followers that had not been captured.
As she shook the thoughts of Malfoy out of her head she got up and was getting ready for a class that she had in an hour. She was about to leave when she heard a tapping at her window. She walked over and pulled up the blinds to reveal a beautiful eagle. She opened the window so it would come in, and also her nosy neighbors wouldn't think anything was unusual She looked at the delivery the eagle had brought her, it was a beautiful silk package. She reached out and untied it from the bird.
She sat down at a nearby table and unraveled her package. Inside lie four beautiful roses all a dark navy blue. "Oh my…"
She whispered, whoever it was from knew her favorite flower. She reached for the card that had been under the flowers. As she opened and began to read the card she was shocked to find what was written inside.
Hermoine-
I apologize for my actions the night before. From your reaction I can tell that you think that is was a prank of some sort, but I assure you that it wasn't. I saw you last night at that party and I had to come over, there is something about you that I have always wanted to be with. I have had feelings for you for quite awhile, ever since Hogwarts. I know this revelation isn't and excuse for all the teasing I had given you all those times but I hope we can look past childish antics of the past. I would like you to accompany me to dinner tomorrow night at 8 o'clock at the Italian restaurant at the corner of your street. Please reply soon.
-Draco Malfoy
Hermoine couldn't believe it. Malfoy was asking her out on a date? She read through the letter once more trying to make her decision. She took a deep breath and wrote her reply.
Draco-
I accept you apology, and I will meet you at 8 o'clock tomorrow night at Celia's .
-Hermione
She stood back up and tied the letter back to the bird and let him fly out the window. Now all she had to do was find something to wear and get those annoying butterflies out of her stomach. How could a letter affect her so much?
