11.Lunch Draco/Hermione
They met at the Leaky Caldron. After a good morning kiss both repeating in their mind that it was for the audience, they ordered the food.
While waiting for their order to arrive, Draco asked her "So, Hermione tonight there is nothing official to do. No party or meeting of parents. Do you want to do something with me anyway?"
She was pleased that he had asked her out on a date without a hidden agenda and smiling she replied "Why not? What have you got in mind?"
He seemed a bit unsure but then he said "I thought that you could introduce me to muggle culture. I mean I would like to spend a muggle evening with you, doing muggle things. Just to know more about your heritage."
She grinned "A muggle evening?"
He nodded "Yes, does it sound very silly?"
She laughed "No Draco, it's just that I didn't expect you to offer yourself for something muggle."
He smirked, he could see that she was pleased about the idea and he decided that he would have to thank Potter a lot for this tip.
Hermione after all was a muggle-born witch and if he wanted to be liked by her, he had to show interest in who she was.
Brilliant Potter that suggested him that! How much he hated Potter for his brilliant idea!
He was torn at the moment because he felt that he was starting to get soft on the Golden Trio. He had spent so long hating them and now he was discovering that they weren't so bad.
Hermione noticed Draco's sadness. She didn't know what made him sad but she really wanted to be the one to make him smile again.
If she had her way he would never be sad again. She was sure that she could make his life much better than it was.
Hermione was smiling "Do you want me to organise it for us?"
He nodded "That would be good. You can decide to do whatever you want. I mean whatever muggles do."
She giggled. He glared at her "What's so funny Miss I-giggle-every-time- Draco-speaks?"
She giggled again. "I'm laughing about the way you go on saying, muggle here and muggle there. Whatever muggle do. You haven't got a clue about any of this, have you? And it makes you feel very uncomfortable. "
He sighed "Well, yes. I'm not really in my environment. I don't know anything about muggles."
She smiled at him "Why then are you doing it?"
He smiled back "As I told you Hermione, I would like to be your friend and tomorrow you are going to face Pansy and the pureblood community. So, you should see tonight which is going to be hard for me as a payback for tomorrow which is going to be hard for you."
She smiled "You have a deal Mr. Malfoy. Come at my house at seven o'clock. And don't be late."
He smiled back and agreed. The meal was over soon and they departed with a sweet kiss which left both wanting for more.
Draco.
Draco was a bit nervous about the evening but it couldn't be that bad, after all he was with Hermione.
When he arrived at his office he found Potter waiting for him.
Draco eyed Harry and asked "What are you doing here?"
Harry smirked "Just wanted to know if she liked your offer for tonight."
Draco glared at him "Potter, did I tell you that I hate you? You are here to laugh at my expenses. Do you think that I'm scared about tonight?"
Harry laughed "Actually, yes, I do. I came here to tease you about the scary evening. What will happen to the poor pureblood wizard in the big, bad muggle world?"
Draco glared at him even harder but he had an amused expression when he said "Yes, Potter, just laugh about me, I will be laughing back when you will need help from me."
Harry looked at him "Believe me Malfoy I won't need help from you anytime soon."
Draco smirked "Really? I thought that you really liked a certain red-haired girl who goes by the name of Weasley. You know by chance I overheard a conversation that she had with another witch about the guy of her dreams."
And then Draco feigned disinterest for the topic "But then maybe I'm wrong and you don't need a tip on what would make Miss Weasly, wait, what did she say? 'having her heart melt and her body on fire' that were her exact words. If I recall right."
Harry was blushing furiously "All right Malfoy. You got my attention and your revenge. I apologise for teasing you but now tell me all about Ginny."
Draco smirked and the two of them had a long chat about 'what women's want'.
Hermione.
Hermione spent the afternoon in muggle London. She was looking for the right kind of date that Draco would enjoy.
She decided first to buy him some muggle clothes because he couldn't really go around with wizard robes but she found that she didn't know his size.
She apparated to Malfoy Manor where she talked with Narcissa about the evolution of her relationship with her son.
Narcissa was truly shocked to hear that Draco had asked for a muggle evening "He must really like you a lot. I would never imagine my son proposing such a date."
Hermione blushed and she looked thoughtful "Someone must have given him advises, but I can't figure out whom."
Narcissa smiled "Don't worry you will discover it soon. Now for your question, let's go and get a pair of his trousers and a T-shirt so that you can take it with you and pick the right size."
Narcissa laughed "I can't imagine my son with muggle clothes. Please, Hermione take a picture for me."
Hermione smirked evilly "Sure Narcissa and every time he will annoy you, you can always bring the picture out and embarrass him."
Narcissa snorted "You should have been sorted in Slytherin, Hermione."
Hermione left soon afterward and managed to do everything she wanted by six. She had an hour to prepare herself for the date.
She couldn't wait for Draco to arrive and to experience his first muggle evening. She hoped that it was going to be the first of many more.
