Hi! I'm so sorry for the long wait I was super busy and I kept forgetting. But I'm back now so don't worry. Well you know that I don't own anything so let the story begin.
Finally they stopped in an area with bright lights and lots of people. They got out and admired the view.
"What exactly is this?" asked Draco as they walked up to the ticket stand.
"This is called a fair or carnival. Muggles come here to have fun, you know play games, eat stuff like that." Said Hermione, picking up the bright green tickets.
They looked around for a second and picked to go into the mirror house. When they first walked in Hermione stood in front of one that made her look short and fat. Draco looked in one that made his head look big but his body long skinny. After that they walked over to play some games.
"How does this one work?" asked Draco when they walked up to the milk bottle game.
"You take this ball and throw it at those bottles. You have three tries. If you get them knocked down on the first try you get a big prize and if you get on two or three you get a small one." Said Hermione.
Draco gave up 3 of his tickets and threw the ball. The ball was flying, flying, and CRASH it hit the bottles and knocked them down. Hermione cheered.
"Ok dude, which one do you want?" asked the stand guy.
Draco picked out a big fuzzy bumblebee. When they walked away Draco gave it to Hermione.
"Here you can have it." Said Draco.
"Thanks. I love it." Said Hermione smiling.
As they were walking Hermione saw Rose and a guy she suspected was her new boyfriend. Rose looked over and saw Hermione standing with Draco and started to walk over. Hermione didn't feel like talking to her right now so she took Draco's hand and started walking fast.
"What's up and why are you walking so fast?" Asked Draco, looking behind him.
"It's a long story and I'll explain later, right now watch out for this girl with short black hair and is wearing a red dress." Said Hermione, looking behind her.
Draco nodded and looked behind again and saw Pansy pushing a pink stroller and walking with he figured was her ex-husband. Pansy looked over, waved and started walking towards them. It was Draco's time to pull Hermione away.
"Ok, who are you running from?" asked Hermione smiling.
"Pansy. Come on, let's get on that big wheel thing." said Draco, pulling her towards it.
"You mean the Fraise Wheel?" stated Hermione, giving the lady 2 tickets.
Draco nodded and sat next to her. As they got up higher you were able to see more stuff. The moon was full and it had this weird but pretty glow. And there were so many stars.
"Hermione, am I still not allowed to touch you?" asked Draco.
"Why?" asked Hermione, looking out at the stars.
Draco lifted up his hand and it was laced with Hermione's. She blushed and put their hands back down, still tangled together.
"I guess it's alright. You can forget all the rules that I'm making you follow, I was just upset with you. I'm so, so--." Stated Hermione.
The second that she said to forget the rules Draco did, and meshed his lips to hers. It was nice to feel and taste her again. The same with Hermione, she missed the way that he smelled and the way that he kissed her.
They pulled apart and looked into each other's eyes and smiled.
"Missed you." Draco said putting his arm around her waist.
"Missed you too. So we're going to your mum's house tomorrow? And then to Ron's for Christmas?" asked Hermione.
Draco nodded and the ride stopped to let them off. Hermione noticed both Pansy and Rose coming their way.
"Babe I suggest that we start running because here they come." Said Hermione with a smile on her face.
Draco started running and around a corner. Hermione peeked to see if they were still following. And sure enough they were walking quickly with upset faces. Hermione started laughing.
"What's so funny?" asked Draco, walking away from their spot.
"They're our friends and we're running away from them. Rose is going to be really upset with me later. She's going to call your house so I suggest that you answer the phone but don't tell her where I am." Said Hermione, stopping in front of a food stand.
Draco nodded and looked at the menu above the guy's head.
"What do you want to eat and drink?" asked Hermione, turning around.
"Anything that you have is just fine with me." Said Draco, going to find them a table.
Hermione came back with two medium orange pops, two corndogs with ketchup and mustard, two bags of barbecue frito twists, and some napkins.
"Well I hope you like it." Said Hermione, watching to see what his reaction was.
When he took another bite she was able to enjoy her own food. Then she had to get some straws.
"I'll go and get them." Said Draco standing up.
Hermione smiled and continued to eat. When Draco got back Hermione was almost finished. But not to worry it was just a small amount of food. When they finished they set out to find a merry go-round; Draco had never been on one.
Before they reached it, both friends came storming up to them.
"Hermione, are you trying to avoid me? What did I do so wrong?" asked Rose, a hand on her hip.
"What's up with you? I only wanted to say hi." Said Pansy.
"I'm sorry, but I'm kind of busy tonight. And by the way, this is Draco. Draco, this is Rose." Said Hermione.
"Ok, yeah I'm sorry too Pansy. We're kind of busy tonight. Hi." Said Draco.
Rose looked Draco up and down and pulled Hermione away.
"Oh my gosh you are so lucky. He's absolutely gorgeous. That guy over there at the milk bottle thing is mine. His name is Juan." Said Rose, waving over at him.
"I figured. I really am sorry for running away like that. It's just that we wanted to be alone tonight, It's kind of like a make-up date." Said Hermione.
"Make-up date? You guys didn't break up did you?" asked Rose.
"Well sort of. I'm not going to talk about what happened but I demoted him from boyfriend to ex boyfriend to gym coach to my date and now he's mine again." Said Hermione.
Rose nodded she also noticed that Hermione didn't have her locket anymore.
"Where's that locket thing that hottie gave you?" asked Rose.
"I gave it back. Long story, it has something to do with all of the demotions I put him through." Said Hermione.
"Ok, we can talk after New Years. I'm going to Costa Rica with Juan to meet his parents. Bye." Said Rose, walking over to her boyfriend.
Hermione shook her head slightly and walked back over to Draco and Pansy. And guy was standing with them now pushing a pink pram.
"Hermione, you already know Pansy. This is her daughter Cassandra and this is Greg Peters he was in Ravenclaw and is Cassandra's father." Said Draco, giving Hermione a look that said, 'I don't trust this guy at all.'
"Hi. Your daughter is so adorable. And she has a really pretty name." Said Hermione.
Draco smiled inwardly because no matter how much Hermione hatted someone she could always something nice to say about them no matter how ugly they looked or etc. That's another reason why he loved her.
"Thank you. See you tomorrow Draco." Said Pansy taking over the pram and walking off.
"You are the most incredible person. You can hate someone and still be so nice to them." Said Draco, taking her hand again.
Hermione blushed and they continued walking to the merry go-round. Draco hopped on a water dragon that was next to Hermione's gold fish.
"What does this thing do?" asked Draco.
"It goes in a circle while playing music while your animal goes up and down." Said Hermione, laughing at the expression on Draco's face.
After it went around a few times they stepped down and walked to the petting zoo. Draco was looking around for something but was fruitless.
"What are you looking for?" asked Hermione.
"Where are the phoenix's and the threashal's?" asked Draco.
"No, silly goose. Those are our animals these are Muggle animals. A lot safer if you asked me." Said Hermione, petting a baby goat.
Draco nodded and started chasing after ducks. Soon lines of geese were following him. Hermione laughed and so did Draco, it seemed as though he had some oat bread in his pocket.
They finished with their tickets and Hermione drove them back to Draco's house. This time he was prepared with his seat belt. Finally they were at his house.
"You can come in you know." Draco said, opening up the door.
Hermione followed. He was so happy; he lit a fire and started on a pot of hot chocolate. Hermione sat down on the couch and she felt at home.
"Thanks for everything tonight 'Mione, it was great fun." Said Draco, sitting next to her.
"No problem. What do you do when you're not at work?" asked Hermione, putting a bit of hair behind her ear.
"I spend all of my free time eating or talking with you. I think I might have to find a different job or just work part time." Said Draco smiling.
Hermione looked at the clock above the fireplace and saw that it was getting late. She would need to get home so that she could make enough time to get ready for dinner with the Malfoy's.
"I'm sorry but I have to go. I have a lot to do tomorrow and I'm sure you do too." Said Hermione standing up.
Draco nodded and kissed her softly. She gave him a warm hug and went out to her car. Draco watched as she drove away and then walked slowly back inside.

"Wow, you're in kind of late. I take it you had a good time?" asked Daphnie who was sitting on the couch, still making a quilt.
"Yeah. We had a great time. You could say it was like getting my first kiss all over again." Said Hermione, winking and then running upstairs.
"What does that mean?" asked Simon, looking over at his wife.
"It means that Hermione has forgiven Draco and allowed him to get close to her. So I win the bet, she kissed him so you have to cough up the 10 pounds." Said Daphnie extending her hand.
Instead of giving her the money Simon tickled his wife while Hermione was watching from the stair rails. She smiled and went into her room.
