Prep Talks and Real Feelings
Hermione woke up Saturday morning craving chocolate. It was like someone was reading her mind because just at that moment Hedwig flew in her window. Attached to her talons was a package in one and a note in the other. She quickly got them of Hedwig. The note read:
Hermione,
I would be honoured if you would accompany me to Hogsmeade this afternoon.
Sincerely,
Harry
'Damn!' She thought. 'I'm already going with Draco. How could I break it to him gently?' Hermione decided before she wrote him back, she'd open the gift. She slowly unwrapped the brown paper. When she saw the gift, she squealed.
"OH MY GOD!" She screamed this so loud that Draco rushed through the door in nothing but silvery-green boxers made of a chiffon-satin mix.
"HERMIONE! What's wrong?"
"Oh. Draco. I'm sorry. A gift."
"From?" He seemed interested, walked over and sat on her red and gold satin bed. Draco read Harry's note.
"So I guess that's it then? You're going with Potter to Hogsmeade? I knew it was too good to be true!"
"Draco. I told you. I'd go with you didn't I? So, I'm going with you. You need to learn something about me. I never break a promise honey."
"Honey?" Draco questioned.
"Oh Draco! Don't make a big deal out of it. I call everyone honey!"
"Really? I've never heard you call Potter or Weasel honey."
"Well.........I have!"
At this point, Draco was so close to Hermione that she felt safe. It felt weird to her. She, Hermione Alexsandra Granger, felt safe next to a Malfoy. His breath whispered across her cheek.
She turned to face him and their lips met in another fiery kiss. Only this time his arms snaked around her waist and pulled her onto him. She climbed on him willingly. She then broke the kiss and pushed him down on the bed. Draco seemed to be getting excited here. Hermione could tell. She decided to let him do some of the work here. Hermione got off of him and before he left, gave him one quick gentle kiss.
"Next time I see you, we'll be at Hogsmeade. Why don't we meet at the Three Broomsticks?"
"Ok, look for me. I'll be somewhere near the back." He turned to leave her.
"Draco?"
"Yes honey?" He smirked.
"...........Oh. Nevermind."
"Ok? See you later baby."
"BYE!"
It's not that she wanted him to leave. It's just that she didn't want him calling her baby. Especially with the window open! ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Harry and Ron were standing right underneath Hermione's window when she and Draco were talking.
"Ron! Did you hear something?" Harry asked.
"No. Not at all."
"Oh, ok then!"
Harry and Ron went onto meet Lavender and Parvati. ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
As soon as Draco left Hermione started to rummage through her clothes. She finally settled on a black mini skirt with a green v-neck. Only about an hour left. She got her wand out and quickly turned her waist- length caramel brown hair to curly fiery red. Only 30 more minutes. She applied make-up and threw on her black velvet robe. 'Damn! I didn't write Harry a response!' So she broke out the paper, ink and quills.
Harry,
I'm sorry. I already have a date. I'm still your girl right?
Love ya!
Hermione
She sent the note off with her new owl, Ares, and left. She was down with the other students waiting for the carriages in a matter of minutes. She was to share a carriage with Lavender and Parvati. In fact she was kind of anxious to see who they had brought with them.
"Hermione!" Lavender and Parvati yelled together.
"Girls! Where are your dates?"
"We know where ours are. Where is your guy? Just to make sure you actually HAVE a date."
"You will see him soon enough."
"Well my date is........Harry!" Lavender giggled.
"Mine is Ron." Parvati shook with laughter.
Hermione just stood there. Obviously either seriously amused or slightly shocked.
"Harry, I can see. But............Ron? EWWW!!!"
"Why 'EWWW' Hermione? They're your best friends."
"Yes. That is precisely why I would never go out with them. They are like my brothers!" Hermione sees the looks on her friends' faces and says, "They're standing right behind me aren't they?"
"Yeah." Lavender and Parvati say in sync. Hermione turned around slowly to face her two best friends. They didn't look too pleased to see her in this mood and outfit.
"I'm glad to know what you really feel Hermione. Glad to know how we stand in your life." Ron said without feeling.
Hermione couldn't look right at him or Harry. Instead she was looking over their shoulders at Fred and George. They had been held back their seventh year because they didn't pass their N.E.W.T.S. She realized they were looking her up and down. She felt bad about what she had said and now she had to ride with them to Hogsmeade and see them face Draco. She couldn't bear that pain.
