Chapter 16
"Close,your eyes,Mione,"Harry said.
"Why?"Hermione asked.
"'Cause I have a surprise for you,"Harry replied.
"Ok,"Hermione said and closed her eyes.
Harry took Hermione's arm and led her up the steps to Mondo's.
"Hold on,"Harry said and he opened the door for Hermione,who still had her eyes closed.Harry gently took her arm and propelled her through the door into the cool air-conditioned room.
"Mmmm,something smells good,"Hermione said.
"Ok,you can open your eyes now,"Harry said.
Hermione opened her eyes and gasped.Her eyes roamed over the whole restaurant.There was a table in the corner she guessed that must have been theirs.It was set for two.There were two beautiful china plates and all of the place settings;there was wine in a cooler and two wine glasses on a small cart covered with a pretty white tablecloth.The chairs were wrought iron and had leather seat cushions.The table was draped with a white tablecloth.There were no lights,she noted;every few feet there was a sconce holding a long slender candle.It was a very romantic place and all of the diners had happy,content looks on their faces.
Harry walked up to a podium where a man stood behing it.
"Hello,I have a table for two in the corner,"Harry said.
"Your name,please,?"the man asked.
"Harry James Potter,"Harry replied with a smile.
"Right this way,Mr. Potter,"the man said after checking the guest list.
Harry took Hermione's arm and they followed the man over to the table that Hermione had guessed was theirs.
"Your waiter will be right with you,"the man said and he walked away.
"Good afternoon,"another man said,"My name is Richard and I am your waiter for your stay.May I get you something to drink?"
"I'll have iced tea,lots of ice and extra lemon,"Hermione said.
"Sweet or unsweet?"Richard asked.
"Sweet,please,"Hermione said.
"And you,sir?"Richard asked.
"I'll have a Mountain Dew,please,"Harry said.
"Very well,"Richard said,"I'll be back in a moment with your drinks and your menus."

Ginny laughed as Draco took a Canary Cream from one of the samplers her brothers had set out on the counter.She had quickly explained to her brothers that Draco wasn't actually that bad.After a few tense moments,Fred and George had shook hands with Draco.'I still don't think they trust him,'Ginny thought.'But,you know what?I do and that's all that matters.'
"What's so funny,Gin?"Draco asked,popping the Canary Cream into his mouth.
'Oh,those lips.I need instant replay,'Ginny thought and then said,"Nothing,Draco."with a fairly innocent look on her face.
"Hey,these are-"Draco started but then broke off as he turned into a large canary.
Ginny laughed so hard she thought that she would pee her pants.Draco looked at her as if she was crazy and then looked at his hand.Then,he started shedding feathers.
"That's what's funny,"Ginny said,with a smirk very close to one Draco could manage.
"Why didn't you tell me?"Draco asked.
"'Cause I thought it would be funny,"Ginny said.
"I guess so but what's even funnier is this,"Draco said.He grabbed a Canary Cream and then playfully forced it into Ginny's mouth.She swallowed obligingly and then turned into a large canary herself.Draco doubled over with laughter.Ginny shed the feathers and then grabbed a piece of seemingly innocent chocolate.
"Try this,"Ginny said.
Draco hesitated and then took it.He popped it into his mouth.He smiled and then the chocolate exploded in his mouth and started running down his chin.It was then Ginny's turn to double over with laughter again.
"Very funny,Gin,"Draco said.He plucked his wand from his pocket and cried "Wingardium Leviosa!"
Ginny floated off the floor,hovering a few feet above him.Suddenly,she dropped down into Draco's arms.
"Nice catch,Malfoy,"Ginny said with another smirk,"But can you do this?"
Ginny grabbed his head and lowered it to hers.She opened his mouth with little trouble and then,suddenly,something warm ran into Draco's mouth.He broke the kiss and tryed to speak only to have flames spew from his mouth.He looked puzzled for a moment but then,when he figured out that the flames weren't hot,began to tickle Ginny with them
"So she got you,eh?"George said with a grin as he exited the backroom.
The flames that spewed from Draco's mouth suddenly subsided.
"I guess so.Where did she learn that?"Draco asked.
"Ginny's an Elemental.They are born at random and most are male.There's only been one other female Elemental recorded,"George said.
"How many types of Elementals are there?"Draco asked.
"Five.Earth,Air,Fire,Water,"George said.
"That's only four,"Draco said.
"Then there's the one who can control all,"George finished,as if Draco hadn't said anything at all.
