A Plan That Worked, Sorta.
Chapter 4 What do I do?
"Hermione, come down to breakfast!" Harry called up the girl's staircase for the third time, he was growing impatient.
"Relax, Harry, relax." Lavender said coming down the stairs, "She's well worth the wait."
"What do you mean?"
"Harry everyone knows that you two are dating and that you have your first date today so she's all dolled up for you." Lavender said as the girl in question came down the stairs wearing a sundress, that was light blue, and a pair of matching flip-flops.
"Mione, you didn't have to get dressed up." Harry whispered in her ear.
"This is dressed up?" Hermione whispered back, "What about me at the Yule Ball?"
"You had to get dressed up then, this is just a date."
"Yeah, but a date with Harry Potter, you don't get that to often now do you?"
"Well, Mione, I don't want to date myself, so I can't answer that question." Harry said as they walked down to breakfast, Ron following them, oddly quiet "Hey Ron what's wrong?"
"N-No-Nothing why?" Ron mumbled, entering the great hall, sitting down, and not eating.
"No, seriously, Ron, what's wrong? You're not eating." Hermione said politely.
"It's nothing leave it alone!" Ron said and he grabbed a piece of toast.
"Ron, is this about me and Hermione dating?" Harry asked as the mail came.
"Actually, yes it is, so glad you got off your high horse for a minute and realized that. You two have the whole of Gryffindor wrapped up in your relationship, because you, Harry, are the boy-who-lived and Hermione you're the best friend turned girlfriend just about overnight." He held up a hand, so that they couldn't interrupt. "I'm not done yet. Last week when the Hogsmeade notice came out you two started planning everything on your own, just the two of you, completely ignoring your best friend. I know it's been just a measly two weeks but I'm sick of it. Harry I know I helped you get together with her, but you two can't ignore your friends now that you two are together."
"I'm sorry, I really am, and I didn't know that it was bothering you so much. But, Ron if you haven't noticed, I haven't been sleeping well because, in most of my dreams I go to a place that I never want to visit again and the day we got to school I actually had a full nights rest." Harry growled as Hedwig landed next to him with a letter and a package "Ah…my portkey." He mumbled reading the letter and laughing to himself
"Harry, are you going to eat or what?" Hermione asked petting Hedwig who was drinking from her goblet of pumpkin juice.
"Oh yeah, right." Harry quickly ate his eggs and bacon as Hedwig flew off to get some sleep. When he finished, stood up, and said goodbye to Ron, Hermione followed him out of the Great Hall where they saw Malfoy making his way to breakfast.
"Oh, Potty and the mudblood sitting in a tree…" Malfoy began chanting. Harry pulled out his wand as Malfoy was speaking. Malfoy backed away scared.
"Oh, so you're scared because Crabbe and Goyle aren't with you, to threaten me by cracking their knuckles? Or what scared I'll knock you out like I did to you're dear old daddy?" Harry smirked at the look of horror on Malfoy's pale face and pocketed his wand, walking away
"Harry, it's sweet that you defend me and all but, that insult is so below me." She smiled, "I wish I did get to her the rest of that rhyme." She mumbled to herself, "So, Mr. Potter where are you taking me?"
"Well, I was thinking, to King's Walk, and to dinner."
"The mall and dinner? You are crazy Harry."
"Glad you finally noticed that." Harry smiled pulling out a very old piece of parchment and taping it with his wand, mumbling a few choice words and the whole of Hogwarts appeared on the paper, "Come on lets go to the ground floor divination room, nobody's in there." He wiped the map blank and pocketed it along with his wand. He led the way down to the classroom and opened the package he got at breakfast: a whistle.
"Why do you have a whistle?"
"It's our portkey, didn't you hear me at breakfast?"
"Oh." They held some part of the whistle and felt the familiar tug; they ended up in an alleyway behind the mall.
"It's huge!" Harry exclaimed as Hermione led him to the front of the mall
"Yeah, it is but, I know it like the back of my hand. Ew… what's that?" she looked at her hand as she spoke.
"What's wrong?" Harry looked at her hand, which afterwards he held.
"It's just a stupid joke." She smiled as they entered the mall, "Now, Harry, do you have any muggle money or should I stop at the bank in the mall?"
"Yes I have money, you think I would take you shopping with out some?" Harry pulled a wad of pounds out of his pocket.
"How, did you?"
"Two words: Fred and George."
"Hun, that's three."
"Yeah, but you get the point."
"Which point? You can't count or Fred and George gave you money."
"No, Fred and George exchanged some money for me and sent me the portkey."
"Remind me to thank them next time I see them."
"Will do." He nodded
They started shopping, they went to the three floor bookstore first, then a video game store (just to look, none of this stuff would work in Hogwarts), a department store, they skipped a Gothic looking store, the sports store, and stores that were very girly. Harry being the gentleman he was held every bag for her. Harry wanted to go up to the Movie Theater, because now that he had muggle money and had the chance to see a movie, he was going to.
"Mione, what movie do you want to see?" Harry asked looking at the selections
"How about Mission: Impossible, it's an action movie."
"Oh how silly of me and here I thought you were going to pick a disgustingly cute romance movie."
"Me, a crazy love story drama? You must me crazy. I hear about dating drama too much." Hermione sighed, as they got on line "Yet, with our school lives we have enough action, but these movies will never get old."
They waited on line to get their tickets, they went inside of the theater, and went to the room with the number on their ticket. Once inside this room they found three seats together, one for each of them the other for all of the bags. They watched the movie in silence, when the movie was over, Harry picked up the bags, and walked down the stairs with Hermione. Discussing the movie's mistakes and how magic can make better special effects.
"Mione, do you want to go back to the castle for dinner?" Harry asked, "I could go down to the kitchens and get food from Dobby and we can eat out on the grounds somewhere."
"How about on the astronomy tower?"
"It's a date." He smiled.
"Yeah, I guess it is." She smiled back as some one tapped her on the shoulder, "Who is it?" She said ready to draw her wand.
"It's me Linda!"
"Hi, er… Linda this is Harry, Harry this is Linda." Hermione said, "We have to get back to the busses. Sorry Linda, See you in the summer." She dragged Harry out of the theater, "Well let's get over to that alleyway and get ourselves back to school."
"Yes, ma'am." He saluted her.
"Harry don't do that."
"Why not?"
"Just because." Hermione said taking some bags from him, "Let's go Mr. Potter." She mocked him.
"The last name treatment." He shuttered, she mock glared at him. "I'm coming, relax."
They went back down to the alleyway and went back to the castle using the portkey. They went up to Gryffindor Tower quickly and quietly, Hermione placed the bags up in her dorm and came back down the steps. The duo went down to the kitchens to get some food, and up the astronomy tower to eat it.
"It was a beautiful day wasn't it?" Hermione asked looking at the stars, they had just finished eating
"Yeah, but I know something that's more beautiful." He held her hand as she draped her legs over his, getting closer to him and trying to keep warm.
"And that is?" She asked
"You." He slowly leaned toward her, to kiss her, she leaned the rest of the way, and they kissed.
"Wow, I was right." She whispered to his lips, when they separated.
"Right about what?" he wrapped his arms around her as the wind blew in their faces.
"That you aren't bad at kissing." She smiled as he held her, "You're great."
"Er…Thanks, I think." He smiled his 'Potter' smile that melts hearts.
She smiled and whispered, "Just, shut up and kiss me." And he did with out being told twice.

Ok this chapter my brother helped me with, scary I know (For all of you who know me). You know how I said this chapter would be out after the book well I lied, no I guessed wrong. Ok I might do one more date and two more chapters or just the two chapters, so if you want me to write the second date, I need good suggestions. And Yes Kings Walk is a real mall, I was a good girl and did my research, but I don't know if they have a movie theater inside of it or a three-story bookstore. Oops, my disclaimer is missing again:
Disclaimer: I don't own Harry Potter, maybe just my homemade robes and my plot lines
