Chapter 11
Hermione walked in the front door and immediately started to panic.
What would she wear? Where would they go? What if this? What if that? She was nervous, excited and happy all at the same time. Hermione spotted her mother in the kitchen.
"Hi!" she said bouncing into the room.
Her mother looked up distracted.
"Oh, hi honey, I didn't notice you'd come back, what's got you all excited?" she asked noticing Hermione smile.
"Draco asked me to go out with him tonight," she said her grin growing even bigger, "That's okay isn't it?" she asked.
"Of course it is," said her mother, "I'm glad to see you've worked things out,"
"Well not everything is worked out," said Hermione her smile fading slightly, "There's still the problem of what Harry and Ron will say, or do,"
"If they're your true friends, they'll understand and respect your feelings," said Mrs. Granger.
Hermione gave a laugh.
"We'll see about that," she said.
She still had a few hours to kill before she needed to get ready. She tried reading but she couldn't concentrate, she tried sleeping but she wasn't tired and she tried listening to music but nothing could keep her attention for longer than a few minutes. She needed to calm down.
She stood up and went over to her dresser, to decide what she would wear tonight. She wanted to look nice but not too dressy. She had no idea what they'd be doing so she had to be sensible while choosing an outfit.
After trying on a million different outfits she finally decided on a nice pair of dark blue jeans with a pink and white peasant top. It was pretty but not too over the top. She found she'd wasted quite a bit of time deciding what to wear. She still had quite awhile till she had to be ready but at least it didn't feel so far away anymore.
Finally Hermione seemed to calm down and with doing so the time seemed to go faster. Eventually the time came where she could get ready to go out.
She went and took a long shower. Performed a spell to straighten her hair and changed into the outfit she'd chosen. She applied a bit of make-up, just so it looked natural. She was pleased with the end result. Just as she was putting the finishing touches on herself she heard a knock at the door.
She heard her mother get the door as she bounded down the hall. When she reached it Draco was introducing himself to Mrs. Granger.
"It's a pleasure to meet you, Draco," Hermione heard her mother say.
Draco turned and spotted Hermione.
"Hi," he said, "You look wonderful,"
Hermione blushed and her mother smiled.
"Okay you two, have a great time, behave yourselves," she said ushering them out the door.
"Right. Bye," called Hermione.
They walked down the path and Hermione asked,
"So what are we going to do?"
"You'll see," Draco said smiling at her.
He took her hand and led her down the beach, to where they'd been earlier. They talked about all kinds of things on the way, favourite foods, music, school and magic. Hermione was in absolute shock when he told her he'd read Hogwarts: A History.
Finally they reached the bottom of the cliff.
"Wait here," said Draco, running into one of the caves.
Confused Hermione did what she was told and a minute later Draco came back out holding a basket.
He smiled and said,
"Sit down,"
"What on earth?" Hermione said as she sat down.
"Picnic," he said finally.
"Oh wow!" Hermione understood now, "This is so nice,"
"What can I say, I'm a nice guy," he said.
Hermione gave him a rather pointed look, eyebrows raised.
"Nice?" she said.
Draco frowned and rolled his eyes.
"Okay well not to everyone,"
"More like not to anybody," she said with a laugh.
"I'm trying," he said.
Hermione smiled at him for a moment before replying.
"I know you are and I have no idea why, but it's good not having to fight with you," she said.
They continued their food in peace until Draco stood up and held his hand out to Hermione.
"Come on," he said beckoning for her to get up. She took his hand and stood up. They walked a bit further down the beach.
"Where are we going?" she asked.
"No where in particular, I just felt like walking," he said.
The bottom of Hermione's jeans got wet after she walked too close to the water. Draco laughed at her and she nearly pushed him in. They had the most fun together, doing things spontaneously, just for the fun of it. Hermione couldn't remember when she'd had more fun. Draco hid from her in some of the scrub, and just as Hermione was getting worried he came running at her from behind and scared the living daylights out of her.
As it began to get dark, they walked back towards the cliff. Just as they approached it Draco put his hand over Hermione's eyes.
"What are you doing?" Hermione said with a giggle.
He didn't answer her, just kept leading her somewhere. Eventually they stopped walking and Draco uncovered her eyes.
Hermione discovered they were inside a cave. She looked back around at Draco with a puzzled expression.
"What's?" she started but he covered her mouth.
Draco leaned in and kissed her, very gently on her lips. Once he backed away he whispered,
"Please don't run away this time,"
Hermione smiled sweetly at him and then returned his kiss.
Reluctantly, they walked back down the beach towards their houses.
"I guess I won't see you until we go back to school," said Hermione miserably.
"I guess not," said Draco, who'd seemed distracted while walking back.
"Is everything okay?" she asked him.
He looked at her, somewhat studying her for a moment.
"Perfect," he said leaning in to kiss her once more.
Hermione smiled. He couldn't have used a better word. It had been perfect.
"Goodnight Draco, I'll see you soon," she said.
"Goodbye Hermione," he said.
And with that he watched her walk up the beach away from him.
A/N: Okay well I hoped you liked that. I'm not too excellent with romance so I hoped you liked it anyway. Well for anyone who's wondering, this story still has a fair way to go. I'm gonna get them back to Hogwarts and Harry and Ron will find out about everything eventually. Well please review. I'll update soon.
