Chapter 6: first date (s)
One wintery afternoon, Draco and Hermione were studying in the library. Hermione was studying as hard as ever (duh!). Draco, on the other hand, had other things on his mind. His quill was hanging between his fingers and he stared at Hermione lovingly.
(A/N: So cliché but hey, this is a romance story.... )
Hermione caught Draco staring at her. Draco blushed; Hermione smiled.
"What are you doing? You need to do your homework," Hermione told him.
"You're beautiful, you know that?" Draco said staring into her eyes.
Hermione blushed. "I do now." She leaned toward Draco and gave him a kiss. "Thank you."
"You're welcome. You know what?"
"What?"
"You never gave me that date you promised me."
"I know. I'm sorry," Hermione said with a sorry look on her face. Then an idea struck her head. "Hey you want to hang out together this weekend? It's a Hogsmeade week end."
"Are you asking me out?" Draco asked, smirking.
"Yes."
Draco smiled and kissed her. "Then I accept."
They smiled at each other and then went back to studying.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Meanwhile, Ron was reading a book in the common room. It was a book about Quidditch. He had made the Quidditch team during his 5th year and was now co-captain of the team. Harry, of course, was captain. he was reading about a new defense strategy when someone covered his eyes.
"Who is it?" Ron asked.
"Guess...." a girl's voice said.
"I give up. Who?"
"You are no fun, you know that?" The girl responded and removed her hands. Ron turned around to see Lavender Brown smiling at him. Ron blushed. He had a crush on Lavender since Hermione and him broke up.
"Hi," Lavender said, smiling.
"H-h-he... hi...," Ron stuttered. He cursed himself for sounding so stupid.
"What are you reading?" Lavender asked, trying to make light conversation.
"Oh just something about Quidditch. Harry asked me to look up some new defense moves for the team."
"Wow. Is it hard to be co-captain?"
"Well not really. Harry and I are partners. Well except for that one week when we were fighting and he wouldn't talk to me because-"
Ron didn't continue because Lavender kissed him right then. Ron was surprised at first but then he realized that he'd been wanting to do this since forever. The kiss was hot and passionate. then Lavender pulled away, smiling.
"Lavender, would you like to go out with me this weekend?" Ron asked nervously.
"I thought you'd never ask," Lavender said.
They leaned toward each other and kissed again.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
That Saturday at Hogsmeade, Draco waited for Hermione at the Three Broomsticks. He was drinking a butter beer and checking his watch when a woman wearing a red dress, kind of like the ones carolers wear, with a hood over the woman's head stepped into the pub. Draco stared. The woman removed her hood the reveal her face it was Hermione.
(A/N: If you want to see a picture of what Hermione looks like in this scene, I have a website for you. The website is: http://www.geocities.com/hermione_draco3/winter.jpg You should check it out!! Anyway back to the story!!!!)
Hermione looked around until she saw Draco staring at her, his mouth hanging. Hermione blushed and walked over to him and sat next to him.
"Hey," Hermione said. Draco still had his mouth hanging so Hermione put her hand under his chin and closed his mouth. "I'm glad you haven't drooled yet."
"Y-y-y... you are so beautiful," Draco said taking her hand in his.
"You are too sweet to be a Slytherin." She smiled.
"Where did you get that dress? It's pretty. Especially on you."
Hermione blushed again. "Actually, my mom made it. She gave it to me for my birthday. I really do like it."
"When's your birthday?" Draco asked. He felt he needed to know Hermione's birthday.
"September 23rd. When is your birthday?"
(A/N: These are just fake birthday dates. I don't know the actual dates. If I did, I'd be J.K. Rowling!!! LOL!!!!)
"March 13th. I'm going to turning 18." He smiled. "Hey, would you like anything to drink?"
"Oh, it's okay. Do you want to walk around?"
"Sure."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Hello, Ron," Lavender said as she saw Ron. Lavender was wearing a pair of jeans, boots and a gray turtle-neck sweater. Ron was wearing black pants, a blue sweater and a cloak. Ron smiled at her and gave her a purple rose. "Thanks, Ron. You are so nice."
"You welcome," Ron replied.
"So what are we going to do today?"
"Well I was thinking that we go to a restaurant and eat lunch. Then I guess we can go shopping or whatever you want. Is that okay with you?"
"Sounds good to me. Let's go!"
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Hermione and Draco were walking around Hogsmeade, hand in hand. Hermione stared at the sights while Draco was in deep thought.
'Should I give her the gift now?' Draco asked himself mentally. 'I'll give it to her later. I also got to the Christmas Ball. And I got to but her a Christmas gift. I gotta make it a nice gift, too.'
"Draco?" Hermione said, awakening Draco from his thoughts. "Are you okay? You seem distant."
"I'm fine. I was just thinking. Don't worry," Draco reassured her. He leaned down and kissed Hermione on the cheek.
"Oh, isn't that sweet?" a smug voice said. Draco and Hermione looked up to see a 7th year Hufflepuff smirking at them. "Well, well! If it isn't big Head Girl and ferret Malfoy. I would have never expected this. A Gryffindor and a Slytherin. You know, I never thought you'd stoop this low, Malfoy. Dating a Mudblood-"
WHAM!!! At that time, Draco saw red and punched the boy right in the face. The gut held his face and pointed a finger at Draco.
"You haven't heard the last of me. My name is Alex Gregory. Don't you forget that!" the guy said and walked away. Draco glared at the guy, Alex, as he waked away. Hermione had tears in her eyes. She sniffed and then Draco turned to her with a sorry and pained look on his face.
"Oh, Hermione," Draco said as he gathered her in his arms. "Don't pay any attention to him. He's wrong. Don't believe anything he said."
"Is it true? What he said?" Hermione sniffed, like she didn't hear what Draco said.
Draco held her shoulders, lifted her chin and looked straight into her eyes. "Hermione, I love you."
Hermione's eyes went from big to full of tears. "Oh, Draco, I love you, too." Then they kissed each other and hugged.
"I have something for you," Draco said with a smile. He then pulled a small red velvet box with a white ribbon on it from his pocket and handed it to her.
"Wow. Thank you," Hermione said then giving him a kiss on the cheek.
"Well... open it." Hermione pulled the ribbon off and opened it. Inside was a gold, heart-shaped locket. Inside of the locket was a picture of her and Draco.
"Draco it's beautiful. Can you put it on me?"
Draco nodded then put the locket around her neck.
"Thank you." Then they kissed.
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"Thanks a lot for lunch Ron. It was great," Lavender said as she and Ron left the restaurant.
"No problem. So... what do you want to do now?" Ron asked her.
"Can we just walk around? It's such a beautiful day, today."
"Okay." So they started walking. Ron was staring off into space when Lavender took his hand in hers. Then he noticed her hands are ice cold. "Lavender, your hands are freezing." Ron took off his cloak and put it on Lavender.
"Thanks Ron."
"Come on. Let's go to the Three Broomsticks."
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Everyone had a terrific time at Hogsmeade but soon enough it was time to go back to Hogwarts. Everyone lined up to get into a carriage to ride home. Draco and Hermione were in line when they spotted Ron's head sticking out of the crowd.
"RON!!!! OVER HERE!!!" Hermione yelled. Ron turned around, waved at them and started walking toward them.
"Hey you guys!" Ron said once he was with Hermione and Draco. Lavender was standing next to Ron, smiling at them.
"Hey Lavender. I-" Hermione then gasped. "Ron, Lavender, are you two... are you... when did... how did-"
"Are you two together?" Draco finished for Hermione. Ron and Lavender looked at each other and then they nodded. Hermione squealed and then hugged Ron and Lavender.
"Oh, my gosh! I'm so happy for you two!" Hermione exclaimed.
"Thanks Hermione," Ron said.
"Congrats, Ron, Lavender," Draco said and shook both of their hands.
"Well let's get going. We don't want to miss the ride back, do we?" Draco asked. So they got into a carriage and went back to Hogwarts.
