Chapter 5

Oh God! What am I going to do! Hermione worriedly said to herself as she rummaged throughout her wardrobe. Oh why am I worrying like this? It's not like he would care or something, wait, does it matter to Hermione Granger if Draco malfoy cares or not? He's just a stupid git! Hermione thought harshly. But on second thought, she had always dressed good, even though her company includes the stupid slytherin. She picked and wore a black fitted halter-top, a black denim jacket, flared black pants and stylish black boots. She even accessorized, black ribbon for her pony-tailed hair and some black bracelets and bangles. Obviously, she was wearing black to show Draco malfoy that she was mourning for this stupid date and their stupid marriage.

Meanwhile, Draco was doing the same thing. Black polo shirt, black denim pants and black rubber shoes. This is to show her that I'm mourning for everything in my life that concerns her! He thought smugly. Once prepared, he went downstairs.

He waited for Hermione, but after a boring ten minutes, he became sleepy. He was just heading for the stairs when he heard Hermione's footsteps.

"Why are you wearing black?" they said in unison.

"Um, because I'm mourning? They also said in unison. After staring for a while, they shrugged it off.

"So can we go now?" Draco started, as if to break the awkward silence between them.

"Of course, my darling" hermione said sarcastically, to which Draco did not notice or he chose to let it be not noticed.

"So, your calling me darling now, how nice" Draco mockingly said, to which Hermione was kind of outraged.

"Hey! I did not mean that, you stupid git! I was just being sarcastic!" Hermione said angrily.

"Okay fine whatever!" Draco said as Hermione rolled her eyes.

Once outside the Hogwarts castle and grounds, they apparated to Hogsmeade.

"So, what will we do now?" Hermione asked curiously.

"Um, first, let's eat, I'm famished, and we haven't had breakfast. I know a fancy restaurant right... here." Draco nonchalantly said as he pointed to a mansion like house.

"Uh, wait. Isn't that a house? I mean a mansion?" Hermione asked incredulously.

"Honey, that's where rich people go" Draco stated, emphasizing both the words honey and rich.

"Oh" Hermione said as she rolled her eyes at his comment/ 'emphasizing' reply.

The restaurant was as big as the great hall, and decorated with antique furniture and a large fireplace happily blazing. It was nearly deserted, as it was just eight o'clock in the morning, with the exception of a few. The waiters cleaning the large oak tables, and early-rising customers. They apparently love the food they serve here. And the prices are really high. A waiter came near them.

"Ah! Young Mr. Malfoy! What a pleasure to see you. Table for two? Right this way." He said as he lead them to another room, much smaller than the first one but still decorated with fine antique furniture. The waiter scrutinized the couple's appearance.

"What will be your orders, mr. And ms.?" The waiter said after they sat and looked at the overly-large menu. He posed his quick quotes quill for writing.

"Um, I think I want a strawberry sundae, and the best food you've got" Hermione said as she scanned their menu, for something familiar. "And some butterbeer please"

"And you sir?"

"The same as hers" Draco said flatly.

Once the waiter got out of the room, Hermione asked Draco why she was brought to a place like this.

"Well, my father said I should take you to the best place" he answered simply.

"Oh" while she was pondering what to say next to him, Draco asked "Do you know about the Illuminati?"

"Yes, well kind of. See, I've read a book by Dan Brown, it's called Angels and Demons. It's a story about Robert..."

"Langdon." Draco finished for her. "I've read that book also. I loved it. That's why I want to go to Rome, to follow the Path of Illumination" he said with a kind of happy emotion.

Hermione was still speechless. She didn't' know that the Draco Malfoy read muggle books. "Oh, I also want to follow that path. I was so amazed by that book and that secret organization when I was ten years old, so I started to form my group. It's called the Priory of Illumination, a combination of the Priory of Sion and the Illuminati. It's funny really. Well, enough talk about that, what other muggle books have you read?" Hermione fondly asked. She didn't know that she could have an intelligent chat with Draco Malfoy, not until now.

"Um, let's see. The Da Vinci Code, deception point, the terminal man, and other stuff. Why I read them? Their funny." Draco said, shrugging as he did so. So far, his date with Hermione was doing well. He loved that he could have an intellectual chat with this girl. He was starting to like this girl. But of course, he was never going to admit that to her.

"Oh" Hermione said, she can't think of anything to say anymore. She was still dumbfounded by the fact that she had discovered about this mysterious man.

When the food arrived, they silently ate. Hermione was pondering about what to say next while Draco was planning where to go to next. After a delicious and delightful meal, the two set of for the park.

"Hey, why do you want to go to the park?" hermione, yet again, curiously asked.

"Um, first, because I have something to show you and secondly, this place is secluded"

"Why do you want a secluded place?" Hermione asked, panic in her voice.

"Relax Granger, I'm not planning on raping you or anything. I just want to be away from those people who were staring at us. Haven't you noticed them?"

"No" Hermione said, relieved on what he said.

"Have you seen the newspaper yet?"

"No"

"Can we get one?"

"Okay, there's a store right beside the large oak tree a block from here" Hermione said as she recalled a day when she was lost at Hogsmeade, alone. The guy form the newspaper stand helped her finding her way back. His name was Jack, and he was a squib.

"Hey Jack, remember me?" Hermione asked brightly as she saw him.

'Yes, Ms. Hermione, I assume this is Mr. Malfoy, the one you will be wed with?" Jack asked, politeness in his voice.

"Um,... how did you know? No one was supposed to know." Hermione worriedly asked.

"Well, it's in the newspaper. Here, I'll give you one for free, your majesty" He said as he bowed low and handed Hermione the newspaper.

"Um, no bowing needed Jack, I'm a friend, remember. Listen, thanks for the paper, but we have to go now." Hermione hurriedly walked away.

Muggleborn turned Pureblood to marry ex-Death Eater's son

Hogwart's top witch and muggleborn Hermione Granger was reportedly the missing heiress to the royal throne. The queen declared in a speech she made last night in the Gandorfal Hotel in Paris that she is the rightful heir to the throne. Reporters from last night said that they the queen also declared Ms. Silvaine, will marry ex Death Eater's son Draco Malfoy. They are to be wed in...

After reading the paper, they were so shocked.

"Oh God, they did not have to say that in public! What will be our schoolmate's reactions! What will Ron and Harry say? They will not talk to me! Oh God." Hermione said worriedly. Why is this happening to me, did I do something wrong in my past life that caused the Gods to punish me like this? Hermione thought.

"Oh darn. Guess I need to hide myself from now on, they now know who I am marrying. What will be my fate?" Draco said idly. Well, truthfully, it doesn't matter to me if they say it or not in public. After all, she's hot, and she has a pretty voluptuous body. Draco thought as a smirk crossed his angelic face.

"HUH? Am I not good enough for you? Heck, you the one who's not good enough for me!" Hermione said, her voice containing ire.

"Oh really? I think you are the one who is not good enough for me. I think it's time to end this stupid date!" Draco said, harsher than he intended. After all, he was only annoying her.

"Sure! I have better things to do in the castle than spend this bloody hell of a day with a stupid git like you!"

"Fine!" he liked to see what was going to happen.

"Fine!" and Hermione said with such violence in her voice that if a voice could kill, she killed Draco Malfoy. She disappeared with a poof.

AN: like it, hate it? Review it! And by the way, angels and demons, the da vinci code, deception point and the terminal man are real books, good stories...

Well, buh bye!
