The next few days went by so quickly. Hermione was always looking forward to the night when he would come and they would just spend hours together.
When Friday came long Hermione had to ask, "Draco, I'm going to Diagon Alley tomorrow. Did you want to come with us? I need to get Harry a Birthday present."
She had expected him to refuse or get upset but he didn't. Instead he smiled and nodded at her right before he left her that night. She had expected by now for him to have at least tried to force her to say something or to just take her right there and kiss her since they had been alone for so long but then he didn't. He came strictly to help her with her apparation test that was coming after her birthday in September. She had to admit she was getting really good with his help. She was able to apparate quietly now without too much concentration.

The next day after Hermione's parents had let her go to Diagon Alley, they themselves made way to a park near by and told her to find them there after she was done.
She went into a few stores to look for something Harry would like for his special seventeenth birthday. After a few stores she had a few ideas but none of them were as good as she wanted them to be.
She was walking past yet another shop, this seemed to be hopeless. She knew that the one thing he wanted more than anything else in the world was his parent's back. To have a real family and how was she going to give him that?
Just then he saw the blonde head walking casually towards her. She quickly made her way to the Leaky Cauldron. This hopefully gave him the idea to follow her. And he did. He followed her into the Leaky Cauldron and she took a private room and walked slow enough so that he saw her just in time as she slipped into the booth.
They each ordered a Butterbeer as casually as possible. If word got to Lucius then Draco would be in a lot of trouble.
"I can't seem to find anything for Harry. Nothing seems good enough." Complained Hermione.
"Well, I think I've found it."
"Oh Really?"
"Yeah. And I have it with me."
"You do?" she asked while raising one eyebrow.
"Yeah. I thought that it could be from me too but don't tell him I had anything to do with it. He wouldn't agree to it. And I really don't think he would trust something from me anyway."
She had to admit that he was right. "But you didn't have to go and get it. I could have."
"But it's not something they normally sell. I could get it because I have connections through father." For a moment he looked ashamed that he even used anything that belonged to his father to tie a connection between Hermione and him.
"It's okay Draco." and she reached across the table to hold his hand. "Thank You though."
He smiled at her and he held her outstretched hand as well.
"So Draco, are you going to tell me what it is yet?"
His eyes widened. "Oh yeah!"
He took a package from within his cloak pocket and set it on the table. "Here, I'll show you."
Draco opened the package to show Hermione.
Hermione gasped. "How did you get this?"
Draco smiled at her. It was a piece of dragon scale. But from the one dragon who can give you only what your heart desires most.
"He'll love it!"
