Author's Note: Okay, I've had some readers that are confused about Hermione
and whether she is a witch or not. Here's the story on Hermione. She is
NOT a witch. She is pure muggle. She's always attended school in the
United States and she just happens to be attending the same college that
Draco enrolled in. I know that in the last chapter I gave her the screen
name *WitchyGurl*...this has nothing to do with magical powers. I'll go in
to more detail later in the story...but Hermione does believe in magic and
those who have magical powers, such as witches and wizards. That is why
her screen name is as it is. I hope this clears everything up.
Also, I want to thank all my reviewers. Keep 'em coming you guys!!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own Harry Potter, Ronald Weasley, Hermione Granger or Draco Malfoy. It just ain't fair. *Hmph* Oh well...I still love 'em...even if they aren't mine.
~*~Chapter Five~*~
~*~Hermione POV~*~
After I finished talking to Draco, I rushed to my room. I had to talk to Becca. So I called her up and told her to come up to my room ASAP.
"Hermione...what is the big rush??"
"I DID IT!!" I couldn't remove the smile that was now stuck on my face.
"What did you do?? Go to the bathroom by yourself?? Took you long enough."
"NO BECCA!! I asked him to go see "Romeo and Juliet" with me."
"Who?? Draco??" I nodded. "Ohmygod girl!! This is huge!!"
"I know...I couldn't believe that I actually had the courage to do it."
"So...when are you going?? What are you gonna wear?? What did Draco say when you told him??"
"Whoa! Calm down Becca! Down girl! We're going Saturday night. WE haven't discussed the final plans yet...I think we're gonna talk about it at tomorrow's tutoring session. But I really don't think it's gonna be like a date or anything. I kinda played it off like I invited him to help him with English class."
"You what?!?! Oh girl...this is gonna be a date whether he wants it to be or not. I am giving you the full make-over treatment."
"I honestly don't see why a guy like Draco would be interested in me. Guys like that go after a girl's body...not her mind."
"Hermione, you gotta stop doing this to yourself. You are one of the few who were blessed with a great body and mind. I am one of your best friends and you know I wouldn't lie to you. Believe me...after I get through with your makeover...Draco will notice more than your brain." She winked and nudged me with her elbow as she spoke her last statement.
"Becca, I honestly don't know what I would do without you. You have no idea what this means to me."
"Listen Hermione, I gotta go. But let me know how tutoring goes and what is decided about Saturday."
"Of course! You will be the first to know. Bye girl! Thanks for all your help!"
"No problem!"
I spent the rest of the day in my daydreams. All of them included Draco. His image was permanently glued to my mind. Everywhere I looked, I saw those icy-gray eyes and that blonde hair that he always kept slicked back. I didn't know much about him...but I knew I wanted to know everything about him. I found myself doodling his name all over my homework and notes.
Thursday came and I was one day closer to my "date" with Draco. I was beginning to feel like a lovesick puppy. Not that I didn't mind the view from Cloud 9...it was breath-taking. But I had to keep my mind on school. My education has always been important to me and I didn't want to throw it all away over some guy. Even if that guy was Mr. Perfect.
I gathered up all my books and headed off for the library.
~*~Draco POV~*~
I sat in the library waiting her Hermione to show up. I wasn't really sure what to think about Saturday night. I know that I definitely wanted it to be a date...but I wasn't sure whether that's what Hermione wanted. When she asked me, she kinda acted like she was just inviting me to help me understand this play better. I don't know what it was about this girl...but she was driving me mad. She was constantly on my mind. Everywhere I turned I saw her deep brown eyes and those brown curls that always cascaded down her back. I wanted to ask her out, but I thought it would be better if we got to know each other better. Which brought me to my next thought...when should I tell her that I have magical powers?? Or should I even tell her at all?? I decided that it would be better for us to get to know each other better before I tried explaining my situation to her. I would have to do some serious prepping before we had that conversation.
Suddenly I saw a hand wave in front of my face...bringing me back to reality. I didn't realize that I had drifted off while thinking to myself. I turned to see who had brought me back. Hermione was sitting next to me with a smile on her face. I smiled back. I knew this was definitely going to be an interesting study session.
After two hours of going over "Romeo and Juliet" I was worn out. And that was only Act One! We silently left the library and I was beginning to wonder if we were ever going to talk about our plans for Saturday night.
"So, Hermione, what do we want to do Saturday night? Like would you be interested in going to dinner before or after the play?"
"Oh...well...I hadn't really thought about it. I mean...are you talking about going on a date?"
"Do you want it to be a date?" I was surprised at my own boldness to even ask her.
"Well...actually...yes I would like it to be." She spoke so softly that I could barely hear her.
"Hermione, I really would like to get to know you better. So I would be honored if you would consider Saturday night as a date."
"I would really like that Draco. I would like to get to know you as well."
"So it's a date?"
"Definitely...okay, so the play is at 8...so I'm thinking dinner at 6?"
"That would be perfect. So I will come by to pick you up around 5:45?"
"Perfect."
"And now we must part my fair Juliet. Until tomorrow, then?" I took her hand in mine and brought it slowly up to my lips to place a kiss upon her knuckles.
"Yes...tomorrow..."
I practically skipped back to my room. But I contained myself. A Malfoy skipping...now that's a good one! I could not believe that I would actually be going on a date with Hermione. This had to be the greatest moment of my life. I could not escape the feelings that were welling up inside of me. At the moment I couldn't tell if it was true love or just lusting...but there was definitely something there and I was determined to find out what it was. That meant that I would have to spend more time with Hermione and find out more about her...not that I'm complaining! She was one of the few girls that I have known in my lifetime who actually listened to what I had to say...she cared about what was inside and not just how I looked. Yes, I was definitely going to enjoy my time here.
~*~Hermione POV~*~
WitchyGurl: Becca?
Beccerz: I'm here. What's up girl?
WitchyGurl: it's a date
Beccerz: you mean Saturday night?
WitchyGurl: yes...he asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him before the play and told me that he wanted to get to know me better and that he would like to consider it a date
Beccerz: and you said?
WitchyGurl: I'm not a complete idiot...of course I told him yes and that I would love to consider it as a date and that I myself would like to get to know him better
Beccerz: so what time is this date...so I know when to come over and give you the make-over of a life time
WitchyGurl: well he's going to pick me up at 5:45...dinner is at 6 and the play is at 8
Beccerz: okay...this is gonna be an all day thing...so I will come over some time Saturday morning
WitchyGurl: ok...I'm pretty tired so I'm gonna try and get some sleep...I'll talk to you tomorrow girl
Beccerz: ok...goodnight Hermione
I curled up in my bed and drifted off to sleep and once again my dreams were filled with images of those wonderful icy-gray eyes.
