A/N: Hey. Here you go, the 2nd chapter of Paid Date. I hope you like. (smiles)

Disclaimer: I do not own Harry Potter. Get over it….

Hermione dragged all her bags into the airport and hauled them into the baggage check on Thursday morning. She looked down at her watch and figured she had enough time to wait for Draco. She sat down on a chair and picked up a muggle magazine to read while she waited on Draco to get to the airport.

Five minutes later as Hermione's eyes flickered up and away from her magazine, she spotted Draco looking very lost and very confused. Hermione chuckled under her breath and got up, putting down the magazine and walked over to Draco.

"Glad you found it ok," said Hermione. She took one of his bags and led him to the baggage check.

"Yeah, well, I still can't believe you'd rather fly than apparate," muttered Draco. He rolled his eyes and sighed deeply.

"Well, you've never flown before. I think it will be a wonderful experience," smiled Hermione. They got onto the plane and sat down in their seats.

Thirty minutes later, the plane was just getting in the air and Draco's knuckles were white because he was grabbing the armrest way too tight. Hermione was looking through the window, silently laughing. She took a deep breath and turned to Draco. "Hey, calm down. We're going to be fine."

"You expect me to be fine when this thing isn't being controlled with magic? Bloody hell…insane muggles," whispered Draco. He looked at her and relaxed his hands because they started to hurt.

"Just relax. Muggles are smarter than you make them out to be. Watch, we'll arrive in London in one piece, ok?" reassured Hermione. She patted his arm and turned back to the window. Then, she smiled, an evil plan forming in her head.

A light snoring came from Draco about two hours later. Hermione turned to him, rolling her eyes. "And he said he wouldn't be fine until we got off…" muttered Hermione. She rubbed her tired eyes and set up for a nap herself.

A couple hours later, they were both awaken by the fly attendants telling the passengers they were about to land their seat belts needed to be put on. Draco and Hermione looked at each other and laughed.

"You look horrible!" they both said at the same time. They laughed harder as they tried to get themselves cleaned up a little.

Once they landed, grabbed their bags, the left the airport and Hermione got a cab. "I can't believe we have to travel like muggles," Draco muttered to Hermione as they helped the driver stuff their bags in the trunk. He let Hermione into the car first and let her tell the driver where they were going before continuing. "I mean, it'd be faster if we…well you know."

Hermione rolled her eyes. "I know, but this is fine."

"But I have been sitting on my ass for…a long time!"

"Once we get to my mother and father's house, be free to run around the street or something…I don't care."

"Actually, I was thinking about a shower," said Draco. He watched Hermione shrug and rolled his eyes at her.

"Actually, good idea because we have a party to go to in two hours," said Hermione. "My whole family is going to be there, so we have to look good…I don't think mum and dad will be at the house, so you get to meet them later. They're probably at the Country Club getting things ready.

"Ok," said Draco. "So, what's your family like?"

"They are wonderful. They're a little weird, but harmless for the most part. Me and Kelsey are the only ones with wizard blood in us," said Hermione.

"You never mentioned having another witch in the family," commented Draco.

Hermione shrugged. "No one asked, I guess. Too much was going on a long time ago. She went to Beauxbatons." She blinked. "I'm not sure why I didn't mention her. We're really close…but then again…I never really talked about me family all that much…"

"I guess not. What's your dad like? I think he's the one I'm the most worried about," laughed Draco.

"Oh hardly. He won't kill you unless you do something really horrible. I love him so much. He's a really kind old man," giggled Hermione. "I can't wait to see him."

"And you mum?"

"I really missed her too. She's weird, but I love her to death. She's so funny. You'll like her," smiled Hermione She suddenly giggled and shook her head. "Be aware of my cousin, Tina, she's really insane…in a good way. I love her too though. Be warned, if your ass gets slapped…Tina most likely did it."

"I take it you have an…interesting…family right?"

"You could say that."

They arrived at Hermione's parent's house twenty minutes later. They dragged their bags upstairs to Hermione's old room. She laughed nervously at the dark blue room that was decorated with dolphins. "I had a little dolphin obsession awhile back. No need to worry. My mum wouldn't allow us to share a room together."

"This is not a 'little' obsession." Draco watched as the dolphin magically swam around the room on the walls. He noticed she had magically charmed the walls to move as an ocean would. He looked at her bed and saw dolphin sheets. She had a collection of glass dolphins around the room-all different.

"Okie, hurry up and take a shower," muttered Hermione.

"I'm afraid of going in there," said Draco. He put down his bags and went into Hermione's bathroom. Yet again, it was decorated with dolphins. "This isn't normal, Hermione!"

"Shut up! Dolphins happen to be my favorite animal," yelled Hermione from the room.

"No shit," said Draco and fell silent as he started to take a shower.

Hermione rolled her eyes and started to unpack her clothes and hung them in the wardrobe. Once that was done, she went over to one of her shelves and pulled down a box. She sat cross-legged on the floor and opened the box. She took out a few muggle pictures and more wizard pictures that moved. She flipped through them. They were pictures of her and Ron. She put them down and picked up a small velvet box and opened it. Inside was a beautiful silver ring with a 10k diamond on it.

"You shouldn't do that. I am no good with tears," Draco closed the little box and placed it back in the bigger box and closed that. "Besides, we're going to make him and the rest of your family think we're in love." Hermione's eyes grew wide and looked at him. He winked at her. "Your turn for the shower."

Slightly flushed, Hermione gathered her bathrobe and hurried into the bathroom. She took a quick, but effective shower. She dried off with her towel, wrapped the towel like a turban on her head, and slipped into her bathrobe. She walked to her vanity table and started to apply her make-up.

"Why don't you do it with magic?" asked Draco. He was across the room with green boxers and a white long-long dress shirt on.

Hermione looked at him through the mirror and quickly looked away. "…Because…I like to do it myself," she said slowly as she applied her eyeliner. "I don't rely on magic as much as you do, Draco."

"So I have noticed," Draco replied as he pulled on his black tuxedo pants.

Hermione went to one of her bags and pulled out a white dress bag. She went into the bathroom and pulled off her bathrobe. Unzipping the dress bag, Hermione pulled out a beautiful royal purple dress. She smiled as she put it on, then blushed as she noticed that it hugged her nicely. Taking a deep breath, Hermione walked out of the bathroom, using magic to dry her hair. She sat back down and started to do her hair in a bun.

Once they were both dressed and ready to go, Hermione called a cab to take them to the Country Club for the party.

"You know, you haven't told me anything about your cousin that's to be married," said Draco in the car. He looked at Hermione, waiting for an answer.

"She…she's a little different that the rest of us," said Hermione. "Not because she's a witch, but Kelsey…she likes to be the center of attention. Don't get me wrong, I love her, but she's a little more out there than the rest of us…except maybe TJ, but Kelsey's different." Hermione looked at Draco. "You'll be able to spot her out quickly enough."

A/N: Thank you all for reading this story and a special thanks to those of you that reviewed the second chapter. I really like this story, it's really good.

Yes, for those of you who have seen The Wedding Date, I did get the idea from it. Hermione is Kat, Draco is Nick, Harry is Ed, Kelsey is Amy, Ron is Jeffrey, and Tina is TJ. I was going to have Ginny be Amy and Krum as Jeffrey, but as I started to write it, it didn't sound all that good that way, so I made up my own characters for Amy and TJ.

No, it's not going to be exactly like The Wedding Date, but there will be a few excerpts from the movie that will almost be the same, but not really. This story will a little longer than the movie was, but not by a whole bunch.

If you haven't seen The Wedding Date, you totally should. Great Movie!

I'm going to try and get new chapters up every Friday if I can. If I can't, then I am sorry, because school comes before writing fanfics. Sometimes school kills me, other times it doesn't. this week might because I have midterms all week. Bleh…

Okie, a special thanks to the people who reviewed the first chapter:

Malfoyslover: I'm glad you love my story. (Smiles)

Bleeding Hearts Club: Yes, I love that movie too. (Giggles) it's so cute

Zarroc: Thanks so much for reviewing yet another of my stories. I appreciate that you enjoy my work enough to come back when I post another story. Thanks a bunch.

Michelle: Glad you like this story (smiles)

Serenitygirl13: Glad you like my story (smiles)

Natural-181: I love making cliffhangers. They're so fun to write. But I do hate reading them. It kills me.
