Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter, but I would like to own Draco!!! ****************************************** Hermione woke up late the day after the reunion because of her hang over from all of the butterbeers.

Today she woke up early and looked on the side of her bed where she found an owl with a note attached to its leg. The untied the note and read it. It said:

"Dear Hermione,

Hey. I know its only been one day since I saw you, but I just had to see if you were OK because of all those butterbeers. That's not the only reason I wrote to you. I also wanted to know if you would go to the Leaky Cauldron with me today at 12 o'clock. Owl me back with your answer.

-Draco"

'Awe ... he really has changed' Hermione thought to herself. Then ran to get parchment and a quill to write him back.

"Dear Draco,

I'm doing OK and you were right. I was a little sick from the butterbeers. I would love to go out with you. Well, I have to go so I can get ready. See you soon.

-Hermione"

After she sent the note to Draco she ran to her closet to find the perfect outfit for their first date. Finally the search was over. She found a dark green long sleeve turtle neck with a matching tan skirt that came up just a little above her knees. It looked great on her. She fed her cat, Crookshanks, then she was on her way.

In no time, she was at The Leaky Cauldron. She look inside the window and saw Draco so, she went inside.

"Hey," Draco said, "I'm glad you were able to come."

"I am too," Hermione answered.

"Want a butterbeer?" Draco asked.

"I think I've had enough, don't you think?" Hermione replied laughing.

"Well, Draco, how have you been?" asked Hermione.

"I've been busy working in a clothes store." Draco answered.

"Oh. What happened to becoming a Death Eater like your father?"

"It just wasn't my dream..."

"And working in a clothes store is?"

"Well, no not really. I haven't decided on what I want to do yet. What about you? What have you been up to?"

"I live in an apartment in the muggle world and I work at a McDonalds."

"Sounds like fun"

"Loads"

They talked for a while then left to go for a walk where they ran into Ron and Harry.

"Hey Hermione," Harry said.

"Hello Harry" Hermione replied.

"So, your hanging out with that git, Malfoy, heh?" asked Ron.

"I guess I better get going," Draco said," Hermione, call me later. Bye."

Furious at Ron Hermione replied, "RON! We were having a great time! He's really sweet, and he has changed a lot. Can't you be happy for me, just one time?"

"Sorry Hermione, but you don't know for sure if he's changed or not," Ron said.

"Hermione, Ron's right." Harry said, "He might still be the same Draco as before."

"Well," Hermione replied, "If he was the same 'Draco' as before, wouldn't of he been really mean to all of us?"

"I don't know. I just don't want to see you get hurt." Ron answered.

"Ron, I can take care of myself." Hermione said.

"OK" Ron answered.

"Ron, I we better get going before Heather and Dani start to worry." said Harry.

"I guess your right Harry. Hermione it was nice seeing you again, and if you ever need anything we're here for you." Ron said.

"Thanks guys. Well I guess I'll see you soon. Bye," Hermione replied.

"Bye," Harry and Ron said together.

Hermione went looking for Draco, but couldn't find him anywhere. After and hour or two of looking she gave up and went home. When she got there, there was an owl with a note attached to it. She got the note and read:

"Dear Hermione,

Sorry if I caused in problems with your friends. I will completely understand if you don't want to see me ever again. But if you want to see me again meet me at The at 1 o'clock. I'll talk to you later, bye.

-Draco"

After reading this Hermione went straight to bed. ******************************************
