M&M's: Malfoy's and Mudbloods
Chapter Five:The First Fight


Hermione entered the new American restaurant that had just opened last week. She had decided to go with the comfortable route, perfectly fitted hip huggers and her lucky tank top, a white racer tank with a green star on it. She had decided to go natural, a spot of blush, mascara, and of course her chap stick, for kissable soft lips, and decided to wear her hair down and blowing loosely around her. She got there ten minutes early.

"Someone will be meeting me." She told the host as she was seated. She sat nervously waiting; the waiter brought two glasses of water and two menus. Hermione drummed her fingers on the table and waited anxiously. She had no idea why she was so nervous; they had spent the night together, had sex together, yet there were still butterflies. This was their first date alone, without the company of the rest of the girls and their guys.

Draco scanned the restaurant; he smiled when he spotted her, nervously drumming her fingers on the table, that's when he realized that he was nervous as well. Hermione jumped as a single white lily appeared before her. She looked up and smiled, it was a smile that could have lit the heavens, and Draco's heart melted. He returned the smile, kissing her softly before he sat down. "Hey there beautiful." he whispered as she blushed.

"Hey." she whispered back, as she smelled the flower's sweet fragrance. "You must be a mind reader, because white lilies are my favorite."

Draco smiled, "I was walking past the florist and that flower just called to me." Hermione smiled and blushed. "Plus white symbolizes a clean slate; the beginning of something is white. I figured it could be the beginning of a beautiful thing hopefully, a beautiful thing between you and me." she blushed bright red and shied away.

The waiter returned, "What will it be guys?"

"Um, I'll have a Wisconsin cheddar cheese burger cooked medium rare, no pickles or onions, and a coke." Hermione replied after quickly skimming her menu.

Draco looked at her in awe, "Um, I'll have the same, but with pickles." he handed the menu back to the waiter. "You're beautiful, you know that?" he stated bluntly, as he reached over and took her hand in his. Hermione blushed deep red,

"You really are too kind." The waiter returned with their drinks, "So," Hermione's eyes sparkled romantically, "Our first date, what are the chances that I'll be getting lucky later on?" She smiled slyly as he blushed.

"Not good," he smiled as her face fell, "I'm the one that got lucky, to have an angel like you in my life."

Hermione could feel her cheeks flush she couldn't help it, that answer warmed her heart. He reached over, brushed a strand of hair out of her face, and tucked it behind her ear. She smiled shyly, as their eyes locked; they leaned in towards each other but were interrupted when the waiter returned with their food. The two broke apart quickly and dug into their food. They talked and laughed as they realized that the transition from friends to lovers would be an easy one. After they were done, Draco paid, "Do you want to go for a walk at the park?" he questioned as they left the restaurant.

"I'd like that." She replied as he led her towards the park. The stars sparkled and shone down on them as they lazily walked beside the lake. They walked in silence for a while, stopping for a moment near the gazebo where an orchestra was set up, soft music filling the night air. Draco never felt this way before, the next thing he knew, he felt her hand slowly slip into his, he looked down at her as she smiled sheepishly back at him.

They stopped when the reached the point, a place that over looked a vast majority of the city, all of the lights of London shining as a mirror, reflecting the stars in the sky.

"Care to dance?" He offered as he extended his hand to her. His eyes sparkled romantically as she tossed her jacket aside and welcomed his embrace. He held her tightly yet tenderly as they swayed to the music Hermione recognized it as Con Te Partiro and hummed along with the piano. The weather was lazily warm, typical for May, a cool breeze wrapped around them as their bodies slowly came closer together, and he could feel her heart beating out the same crazy wipe out rhythm as his own. She rested his head on his shoulder; he became intoxicated by the sweet scent of her shampoo mixing with the scent of her, making her smell like a spring day mixed with rain. The music stopped a few moments later, but neither seemed to care; they remained there in each other's arms.

All of a sudden Hermione gasped, "Draco, look!" she pointed to the sky where a shooting star quickly zoomed across. He turned back to face Hermione and smiled, her eyes were closed, apparently making a wish. When they opened,her eyesshined brighter than any star in the heavens.

She smiled at him, as he moved in to kiss her, wrapping his arms around her slim waist. "What'd you wish for?" he asked his lips hovering just above hers.

She gently shook her head, "If I tell you it won't come true." she whispered, their lips barely brushing. "Did you make a wish?"

"No, everything I want is right here in my arms." She pulled away and grabbed his hand leading him back to civilization, "Where are we going?" Draco asked, slightly confused as to why she broke the romantic mood.

She turned around and Draco was stunned by the desire glowing in her eyes, "Your place is closer, you are so getting lucky as soon as we get there."

Before she knew it she was swept off her feet, and floating up above the buildings, she looked at Draco who was flying expertly on his ridiculously expensive broom, smirking, "You move to slow." he landed on his balcony.

She sensually swayed her hips as she walked towards the bedroom; "Sometimes, slower is better." she winked as Draco rushed after her.


"Wow," Hermione smiled as they entered Digital Underground, Ginny by her side, Blaise and Draco behind them. The Slytherin men had decided to take their lady loves out for a night on the town, drinks, dinner and dancing. Draco led her to the VIP section where they sat down in a corner couch. Hermione's eyes sparkled, she loved to dance, and get her groove on she looked over at Ginny who was itching to hit the dance floor as well. "Come on Draco, let's go dance." Hermione stood up.

Draco smiled and shook his head, "No thanks, I'm not much of a dancer, but you go ahead and have fun."

"I think I'll pass on dancing for right now too, I'm a bit tired." Blaise added.

"Are you sure?" Hermione questioned as they nodded, "Ok," she shrugged, "Come on Ginny, let's go party." She grabbed Ginny's hand and mingled her way to the dance floor.

"So how are things with you and Hermione going?" Blaise asked once the girls disappeared downstairs.

Draco smiled, "Good, real good. She makes me feel complete."

Blaise laughed, "That's good, you two look good together," his voice tinged with intrigue.

Draco laughed, "There's something special about her. I can feel it."

The two men watched them dance from the balcony. It was easy to see that the girls had moves, and in no time at all each of them had a person moving in on them. The girls giggled and moved away from the guys and continued to dance with each other. However, it was no use, within a matter of seconds two new guys came up and tried to get their groove on with them. "Hey dude, I'm gonna go dance with Ginny, you gonna come?" Draco shook his head, he watched as Blaise went downstairs and took his wife into his arms.

Draco returned his attention to Hermione and smiled as once again she walked away from yet another guy and continued to dance on her own. He laughed to himself as another guy tried his luck with her, this time however, she didn't walk away. She continued to dance with him, the way the two of them moved together was almost passionate. He rubbed his eyes to make sure he wasn't seeing things, he couldn't believe where she was letting him put his hands. He could feel his face getting red when he realized she was actually talking to the guy. Hermione stopped dancing and continued talking to the guy, then she laughed and her face lit up into one of her beautiful smiles.

Draco felt a pang of pain and jealousy and began to walk down to the dance floor. Hermione spotted him and her eyes lit up happily. "Draco!" she kissed him tenderly. "This is Jason; he used to be my next door neighbor." She screamed over the music.

"Just a neighbor?" He questioned struggling to keep the jealousy at bay.

"Well we dated for like two seconds, but that was back in 6 year."

"Hermione didn't tell you?" Jason sounded shocked, "She and I grew up together, practically connected at the hip until she went all magical on me," he blurted out as Hermione blushed.

"He knows about the wizarding world?" Draco raised an eyebrow.

"He was my best friend Draco! I told him everything." Hermione explained trying to placate Draco's suspicions, "Besides he's been dating this girl Angel for like the past three years." she smiled brightly, "We all used to come to this club a lot back in the day."

"Speaking of Angel, I should get back to her, I'll let her know you're here so she can come and say hi." Jason explained, "Draco it was nice meeting you, Hermione." he hugged her tightly, "It was wonderful to see you again," Hermione blushed, "Draco, she's an amazing woman, don't ever let her go." His voice caught, he stared deep into Hermione's eyes and kissed her on the cheek, "See you round." He turned and left.

"I'm gonna go to the little girls room," she whispered in his ear, "Be right back." Draco nodded. No sooner had she disappeared into the crowd, a girl walk up and approached him.

"Care to dance?"

Draco turned to face the woman, "Cho?" he was shocked, "What are you doing here?"

"I'm here on a model shoot, I gotta tell you Draco, I really miss you." She touched his cheek.

Draco didn't know what to do, he couldn't move. This was the first girl he had ever kissed; he had been with her in secret for almost 2 years before she broke his heart. His relationship with Cho had been a rocky one, they had hooked up not long after Cedric had died, and his ghost was something that Draco constantly had to compete with, but he had loved her, and thought that she loved him. Then Harry Potter came and swooped in, thus making Draco all the bitter when Pansy fell for the Boy Wonder. Loosing two women to Potter wasn't any easy blow for his ego.

Hermione came out of the bathroom and saw Draco, with a girl in a red dress, who was touching his face. Hermione turned around and went back into the bathroom. Ginny walked in about three seconds after she did. "Did you see that girl all over Draco?" she exclaimed. Hermione nodded, "It's like he's in a trance, and Blaise said that it's Cho, that he and Chang had a fling back in fifth year." She added quietly. Hermione took a deep breath, "Come on Hermione, you're not gonna let some stupid bimbo move in on your man are you?" Hermione raised and eyebrow, Ginny smiled, "Didn't think so."

"Go tell the DJ to play, Sway by The Pussy Cat Dolls, tell him Hermione asked to do it now, he's an old friend he'll do it." Ginny nodded,as she shortened her dress a little,so it stopped just above mid-thigh... Just long enough to be tasteful, but short enough to be teasing. She charmed her sensible sandals into a sexy pair of Jimmy Choo heels before looking to Gin for approval.

"Well you managed to pull off looking quite sexy without looking slutty like Cho... Malfoy won't know what hit him!" Ginny smiled wickedly and left. Hermione ran some water through her hair making it sexily wet. She reapplied her lipstick and smudged her eye make up giving her honey colored eyes a smokey and sultry effect. She heard the beat of the song play and made her way out to the dance floor, it was as if the crowd parted when they saw her coming. A fire sparked in her eyes when she saw that the former Ravenclaw was still clinging onto Draco.

Instead of approaching the couple, Hermione sought out Jason, when she found him she waved him over, "Do you remember this song?"

Jason nodded, "How could I not? You made me learn all the moves to it after we watched Shall We Dance." he smiled.

"Shall we dance then?" she extended her hand, well aware of the fact that Draco had noticed. Hermione was above fighting another girl for the affections of a man, but not above making said man jealous.

Jason smiled as he pulled Hermione to him, barely a hairs-breath between them, then like a flower bending in the breeze, the two began to sway seductively to the music.

Cho gave Hermione an evil glare when she realized that Draco was paying more attention to the mudblood than he was to her. She immediately tried to regain the blond's attention by grinding her body against his.

Draco looked down at Cho, "Sorry Cho, there's somewhere else I'd rather be." he kissed her cheek before walking off in the direction of Hermione and Jason with every intent to cut in. Before he knew it he was being pulled in the opposite direction by Cho, who desperately pulled him to her and sealed her lips to his.

When Draco was finally able to pull his lips away from the ebony haired vixen it was too late, the damage had been done, he looked to where Hermione had been dancing with Jason, only to find Jason standing alone, looking towards the front door where he caught a flash of Hermione rushing out.

Draco pushed Cho aside, "What are you doing? Cho we're through, you made sure of that, I'm not going to let you swoop in and ruin the good thing I have going with Hermione. I'm with Hermione, I want Hermione." he emphasized each word.

"You kissed me back, admit it, a part of you still wants me."Cho argued

"I thought a part did, but now I realize that you were want I wanted, back then, now what I want and what I need, is a woman like Hermione. I'm not your puppy dog anymore Cho. I've moved on to better things." and with that he took off after Hermione.

He caught up to her a block away, her heels had broken and she was walking with one shoe on and the other in her hand. "Hermione wait, let me explain." he reached out and gently touched her shoulder.

Hermione whirled around and slapped him, "Explain! Explain! You don't have to explain anything, I was just something to keep you entertained until either Pansy or Cho came running back to you, I understand I get it!" she yelled not caring who heard her, "I was a fool to trust you, a fool to think you changed."

Draco had been stunned when she slapped him. However, as he listened to her tirade he found himself very annoyed that Hermione was conveniently forgetting what she did with Jason on the dance floor, "How could I hurt you? What about you and that boy Jason or whatever his name was? I can see it in his eyes, the way he looked at you; he is still in love with you! How do you think I felt? Hurts doesn't it?" he added pettily.

Hermione couldn't believe he was bringing up the past. "That is so low, that was a part of the past that I left in the past. Who cares if he loves me, I don't love him! At least I didn't kiss him!" she told him icily, "Do you have any idea how much it hurts to see the man you lov- the man you're dating snogging another girl right in front of you? Do you know how embarassing it is to know the whole club witnessed your boyfriend cheating!"

"Hah!" Draco bit back, "Let's talk about embarassment. Do you have any idea what it's like to go out with someone like you?" he asked. "I can't go anywhere without people looking at you, wondering what I'm thinking. Do you know what it's like for me to be teased because of you? Do you know how many times my family and family friends make me feel like a traitor to my name and my blood? I hate it. Having a girlfriend who's a mudblood is embarrassing."

As soon as the words were out of his mouth,Draco knew he regretted them. He was angry that Hermione wasn't letting him explain about Cho. The look on her face nearly tore him in half. She was hurt. He could see the unshed tears in her beautiful brown eyes.

Hermione felt her heart crushing in all over again. He had never said such mean things to her before. Why now? She couldn't be around him anymore. Not like this with a cry, she closed her eyes and apparated away. Did she understand it all right? Was Draco really ashamed of her blood?

"Hermione wait!" Draco called out. He stopped because it was too late; he couldn't believe that he just yelled at her for being a muggle born, even using the dreaded term that he swore he'd never use again, "I'm sorry," he whispered.
