The entire morning was spent like there was no problem last night. The beautiful couple sat at the table and ate breakfast like they were married. You would never guess these were two Seventh Year students at the most prestigious, albeit dangerous, school in Wizard England.

Dray and Mia sat across from each other, both reading separate sections of the Daily Profit. Mia, undoubtedly, was reading the obituaries, while Dray sat reading up on the latest Quidditch match. Apparently the Chudley Cannons weren't doing to well this season. They had just suffered a completely miserable loss to the Harpies, who's Seeker caught the snitch when his team happened to be 150 points ahead of the opposition. Dray grumbled, which made Mia look up in concern.

"Something wrong, babe?" she asked, sincerity in her voice. "Just another disgusting outcome from a disappointing team. Nothing to worry about, babe," he said, the last part meaning to mock his 'beloved' Mia. "Oh, okay then," she said and went back to her paper.

After looking her section over for what seemed to be the thirtieth time, she slammed the paper down in frustration and sighed. "Something wrong, babe?" he said again with an amused tone in his voice. "There's just so much destruction in this world, I'm starting to wonder if it will ever end." Mia just sank with her head in her hands and let out an exasperated sigh. "It will end," Dray said, taking one of her hands into his, "but only when people like us start standing up for what we know is right and start taking a stand." He looked at her and squeezed her hand. "I hate that you're so smart," she said and laughed as he shrugged his shoulders.

"But enough about me," he said, making her laugh once more, "lets discuss what we're doing today!" Dray seemed very excited; another part to him that Mia never saw and was impressed by. "We're going to Diagon Alley. We need to get you some clothes, a wand, and some things for school, which if you didn't know, will be starting in two weeks." He absolutely looked thrilled.

"I don't have any money. I didn't have time to get to my room, so I couldn't grab anything." Again, this picture was somber when Mia put her head down again. "Pish posh, no problem. I've got money. Well if there are no more objections from the crowd, I'm getting in the shower." He shrugged her off as if what she said didn't even come out of her mouth. He kissed her on the cheek, thanked her for breakfast, waved his wand to clear the table, and walked upstairs as if he were some mysterious king of a foreign land. She laughed at him as he made his way to the bathroom and gathered her things, preparing for a long day.

­­­­­­

When Dray was finished in the shower he came down and told her it was free. Mia walked into the bathroom and was amazed, yet again, at how beautiful his apartment was. The bathroom floor was covered in a black and white crisscross pattern. The fixtures were all stainless steel and the shower was an amazing sight. It was like a little room with glass doors and two shower heads. There was also a little bench pressed against the wall, which were made of granite. She was astonished at how well her boyfriend could decorate.

'Wait a minute. Did I just call him my boyfriend? Is that what we are? I guess that will be a conversation for this evening.' She thought to herself.

Thinking that her conversation would wait until later, she was deeply mistaken when she heard the door to the bathroom open and in walked Dray, still in his towel. "What is taking you song? I'm starting to get lonely," he said, and with that made his way into the shower with his naked girlfriend.

'Hold on. Girlfriend? Is she?' he thought and asked his question at the same time she did.

"What are we?" they both said at the exact same time. They both laughed shyly and he allowed her to go first. "Well," she said, looking with a mix of apprehension and fear in her eyes, "are you my boyfriend? Are we just good friends? Just make it clear so that I don't keep getting myself confused." He laughed because she just looked so nervous, as if the wrong answer would strike her down dead right in his shower.

"Seeing as I haven't asked you yet, I'd say we're really good friends," he looked innocent as he said this. Dray knew that she wanted him to ask her to be his girlfriend, but he was a Malfoy after all, and he wasn't going to do it without a show. "Okay then. Good friends," she stuck out her hand and waited for a handshake. "Oh don't be like that," he said, pushing her arm gently out of the way, "Just because I haven't formally asked you to be my girlfriend, it doesn't mean that I'm not going to ask you. I just want it to be a little better then asking you when we're both naked in my shower." She mumbled a 'fine' and pretended to pout, painfully obvious when she ignored him, and went back to lathering her body. He noticed she was being rather seductive, concentrating on all the right spots to get him turned on. He stood there, trying not to get aroused, but she made it quite difficult.

Finally he couldn't take it anymore and cross the two foot distance between them and pushed her against the shower. His lips met hers and he begged for entrance, his lips sucking on her bottom lip, but she wouldn't budge. She shook her head and said, "Friends don't snog in the shower, sorry to burst your bubble." Dray looked at her as if he were going to go insane. "You've got to be kidding me, Mia!" he said and pressed his lower half against her. "If you can't see what you do to me, at least feel what you're doing to me." She shook her head, again being stubborn and obstinate, and said, "I'm sorry. You know what I want, so keep it in your pants until then." And with that Mia opened the door to the shower and walked out, leaving a very angry, and very aroused, Draco Malfoy standing alone in his own shower.

Mia came out of the spare bedroom dressed in a pair of light blue jeans and a tight fitting tee shirt that said, "Book Worm Extraordinaire". Her hair was falling naturally to frame her face, which always made her look elegant yet stylish. Dray laughed at her when she came down the stairs, "Always gotta be the book worm, don't you?" he said. "Yeah. But I'm the hot book work this year, don't you forget it," Mia said, and with that she jumped on him, making Dray loose his balance and fall to the couch. This led to a series of tickling and kissing, which lasted longer then they could breathe.

They both found their way up from the little attack that had just ensued and were taking deep breaths of air. Mia had inevitably lost. As soon as both were filled with their share, they got up and attempted to get ready to go out. Dray told me that they were going shopping and a small frown covered her beautiful face. As far as she knew her account was closed at Gringotts, guessing from the fact that her father was trying to kill her. The most she could do was silently pray that things went well today.

When everything was settled Dray led Mia to the fireplace and took out a pouch filled with silvery powder. He threw some into the flames, took her hand, and yelled out "Diagon Alley". They were off.

The flight was a little rocky; however it was interesting because you could always see the little snippets of the homes that they passed over. There was one with a little boy floating in mid air., a husband and wife shouting at each other, a wand that was painting a mural by itself, and the very last one they could see was a big room with silver walls and a huge black and silver four poster bed. The room looked like no one had lived in it for years.

As soon as they passed that room Dray held onto Mia tighter and closed his eyes. Something about that room made her feel as if there was something he wasn't telling her. She silently reminded herself to ask Dray what that was all about when they returned home. 'Home. I could get used to hearing that.' She thought to herself.

A second later they were on the floor of the hall in the Leaky Cauldron. With a swish of his wand the dust was cleared from his and her clothes. She leaned closer and kissed his lips with a silent thank you. Then with out a moment to loose they were outside heading to the magical streets of Diagon Alley.

"Where do you want to go first?" he asked as they started walking down the street. She looked around and thought for a moment before saying, "Gringotts". He gave her a puzzled look. "Why?" She smiled shyly and said, "I've got an account there. It couldn't hurt to see how much the murderer has in there."

She looked innocent, but he was starting to get mad. "Why do you always have to be so stubborn?" he said, starting off towards the bank. "Because," she said and leaned in very close, "I like to take charge sometimes." She smirked and walked a little further ahead. "Hey!" he said, trying to catch up, "Are you smirking? That's MY smirk! You can't use my own smirk against me!"

He tried to catch up to her without making a scene, but she was already inside by the time that he reached the doors.

He calmed himself and straightened out his clothes before opening the door. Mia was standing in line waiting to be seen by the Cashier. He was a short little Goblin with long crooked fingers and sharp jagged nails. His nametag said Grapple and he would look absolutely pleasant if it weren't for that horrid expression that resided on his face.

Dray moved to stand right next to her, and she linked arms with him without even looking up. He grimaced, still made that she used his smirk against him. She laughed and turned towards him. Trying to hold on to his sour disposition, he looked glared down at her but his face softened when she reached her hand up to caress his face. "You know how good looking you are? It took all the strength I had not to turn around and grab your arm so that the girls would know to stay away from you."

"What are you talking about? I watched every single guy that looked your way follow you with their eyes. You've become the hottest thing the Wizarding World has ever seen."

She blushed, mumbled something that sounded like, "got to be kidding," and moved up with the line. The stood there in silence for another couple of minutes before they turned towards each other and said at the same time, "What about Hogwarts?"

Dray looked a little anxious and Mia blushed. He went first, "I want to be with you, you know I do, but I'm afraid things will have to go back to the way things were before. I can't be Dray. I've gotta be Draco Malfoy. My parents will be in touch during the year and if they know that I'm seeing you, they'll kill you."

She tried to avoid crying but a single tear leaked down her face and landed on her lip. "I know. I've got to be Hermione Granger. I don't like it, but I guess if this is the way its gotta be, we can deal with it." She managed a smile and he kissed her again.

After they broke apart Mia said, "You know, being Head Girl means I've got to tutor the slackers. Your transfiguration marks are terrible. McGonagall will definitely want you tutored this year," and she smiled again.

He caught on quickly. "Oh yeah. Dismal. I think we're gonna need to study long hours just to keep up." Dray lifted her off the ground and she wrapped her legs around his waist. She put her arms around his neck and he walked her right up against the wall. "perhaps you should just sleep in my dormitory every night, that way we can study as much as possible."

"I think you've got the right idea, Mr. Malfoy." Mia said as she leaned in to kiss his lips. "I definitely like the sound of that."

They'd been caught. The two teenagers were fooling around behind the statue of the first Goblin to ever work at Gringotts when a security Goblin shined his flashlight on them and made them move back to the line, or get out and stay out!. Mia blushed and immediately ran back to the line, which was the same length as when they left it. Dray took his time wandering back to her side. "What took you so long?" she said as he put his arm around her. "Oh you know, I got distracted by this hot chick just standing there look all cute and sexy. I could barely keep my hands off of her. He smirked, giving her a taste of her own medicine, but was shocked when she said, "You should have invited her over. I'd love to meet her."

Mia looked at his reaction but kept her face as still as could be. He was standing there, slack-jawed in wonder, confusion, and mischief. He started to get a look in his eyes, one he had when they were fooling around, and she didn't like to think where this was going. However, before she could say anything, the next cashier was beckoning them forward. Mia took out her spare key, gave it to the 'man', and waited on the side for a cart to take her to her vault. Dray sat next to her, but neither said a word to each other, for one was feeling guilty and one was feeling betrayed.

Mia was surprised to find that when she opened her vault it was filled with ten times as much money as it had last year. 'My parents don't have all this. They're muggles!' Either way, she took out enough money to cover her books, new robbers, and supplies for school before shuffling back into the cart and waiting for Grapple to get it in motion.

Once they got back to solid ground, the two teens set off on their first destination. Mia looked like she was gonna be sick. "Hate to cut this short, I'm not feeling so well. I'm gonna rent a room at the Leaky Cauldron. Why don't you go find that hottie from the bank and we'll all meet up for dinner. Say 7pm? Okay then." Mia said all of this in one breath and before Dray had a chance to respond, she was already out of sight.

'Seriously, the girl is mental.' He whistled for Rogue and was proud of the fact that his owl was speedy and precise. Rogue flew down onto his shoulder and waited for Dray's instructions. Dray whispered to him and without missing a beat, Rogue was in the air, flying towards the sun.

Dray went back to his house, got dressed and started making phone calls.

Mia was sitting on her bed in the room she had rented. '#3,' the card said. She knew there was no reason to be jealous of the invisible 'hot girl', but she still didn't like the idea that he was so open about things. She was just being self-conscious and stupid. The fact that he could joke around made her feel so useless and unloved. Plus, they still weren't dating so she knew he could just go off and do as he pleased with no regrets.

She ended up just lying down and taking a nap. She knew she'd have to wake up around six to get ready for dinner with Dray, but until then she could just sleep and let her mind worry about other things. However, she was in store for a surprise.

At 6:45pm, the night found Mia sitting in on her bed in a knee length black skirt and a red silk spaghetti strap top. Rogue flew in through the open window and landed on the coffee table directly in front of her. The note was tied to his leg and he waited for Mia to read it.

My Mia,

Please forgive me, a juvenile mistake.

Please grant this invitation I've made.

Dray

She smiled and laughed at his silliness and went to open the door. As soon as she walked out, she bumped into something solid. She looked up and Dray was in a black tuxedo with an arrangement of roses in her hand. She smiled and hugged him and said she was sorry for being an idiot. "I'm so stupid. I'm sorry Dray."

He lifted her chin and made her look into his eyes. He kissed her tears away and said, "I'm sorry too. I didn't mean to make you upset."
