Trying to squeeze out a couple more chapters before school starts. SCHOOL STARTED...


"GINNY! I've got to go! I'm meeting Draco at Hogsmeade for some shopping." Grabbing her purse, Hermione ran out the door slamming it behind her. "HOGSMEADE!" She yelled as soon as she got out of the door. Feeling her feet lift off the ground, she closed her eyes, and seconds later, she was in hogsmeade.

"Where have you been?"

Spinning around, Hermione found Draco sitting in front of their meeting spot, Three Broomsticks. Seeing her turn around, Draco stood up and walked over to her. "Well, you could stand there staring at me all day, or we could go get some butterbeer and do some fashion consulting. What do you think?" He smirked.

Hermione turned red. Oh yea, he might have outgrown his wimpiness, but he hasn't outgrown his cockiness. "Uh, that sounds good to me. Let's go."


"How's this one?" Draco asked, picking out a black jean jacket. A cup of coffee and a muffin later, they were in the nearest men's clothing store, shopping for a couple of nice outfits.

Hermione wrinkled her nose. "I don't really like it."

"And why not?" Draco took it off the hanger and threw it on himself. It immediately molded so it was the perfect size.

"It..nah, what about this one?" She handed him a blue jean jacket with the letter D sewn on the back.

"No! This one! It's more expensive." Draco said as if he was a little kid.

"More expensive?!" Hermione rolled her eyes. "Whatever, if you like it."

"Do you like it?" Draco teased.

"No I dont like it." She sniffed and raised her nose playfully.

"Alright, alright, we'll get that one!" Draco whipped the jean jacket away from her and pulled her towards the checkout counter. He pulled her close to him with his free hand, causing her to gasp.

Draco smirked. "What?"

"N-nothing." Hermione squirmed out of his arms.

"Do you like me? Huh? Huh?" He smirked as Hermione shot him a sideway's glance. He laughed and took Hermione's hand and dragged her towards the door.

"Hmph." She grabbed her hand back and crossed her arms, standing there unmoving. She looked up to the ceiling, ignoring Draco as he stood there looking very amused. Hermione heard a sigh and looked slightly downwards to find him standing right in front of her.

"Do you like me?" He peered into her face curiously. Hermione never answered the question, but instead ignored it and walked right out of the door.

"HEY! MYA, I asked you a question." She stopped suddenly, gasping as she felt someone heavy colliding into her back causing her to loose her grip and fall down. As she fell towards the ground, she found a pair of hands turning her around and cushioning her fall.

"Oomph." Hermione closed her eyes. Why me? Why me?!

"You didn't answer my question yet." Hermione stiffened as she heard the voice belonging to the body which now lay ontop of her.

"UGH! Get off of me." She shoved Draco off and got up, Draco followed suit.

"Aw, I'm sorry." He grabbed her arm as she continued to walk away. "Mya, I'm sorry." He pulled her back with such a force that she was sent spinning back into his arms.

She looked up into his eyes, still pretending to be mad. "I'm sorry, would you forgive me if I treated you to another round of butterbeers?" Draco looked at her hopefully.

"Mm." Hermione thought carefully. "Alright." She smiled and playfully whacked Draco in the chest, walking away and leaving Draco staring at her swaying behind. "What the-damn." He murmured, watching her walk away.


Hermione grumbled as she threw herself out on the sofa in front of Ginny.

"Bad day?" Ginny raised her eyebrows.

"He is such a picky shopper. Only the best and the most expensive!" Hermione sighed. "It must be great having all that money at your fingertips."

"He was probably waiting forever for his father to die so he could get the rest of the money and the Malfoy Mansion." Ginny snickered.

"No..He isn't like that.." Hermione started.

"Oh yea he is."

"No, he isn't!" Hermione paused. "He's sweet." She smiled.

"Oh, so now we are defending Draco, are we?" Ginny snorted.

"No!" Hermione yelped.

"You like him dontcha?" Ginny's eyes bore through Hermione's skull.

"No-no, of course not!" Hermione lied.

"Well alright, because if you did, I'd understand and we can call of this whole revenge thing." Ginny looked disappointed.

"Pffft. No way. We are going to do this thing!" Hermione held a hand out for a high five. "WE ARE GOING TO DO THIS!"

"Alright." Ginny smiled grudgingly, giving her a high five.
