Hermione and Draco met each other in the living room early the next morning both were quite egger to start there days in Digon Ally. Hermione greeted him with a warm long hug.

She seemed to linger there in his arms longer that necessary. Draco was ecstatic about this. Hermione must like me. This is proof isn't it? Yes I think it is.

"well Hermione are you ready to go?" he gave her a big smile.

"oh yes I am very excited there are so many things I want to buy."

They both made there way to the dusty old fire place grabbed a handful of floo powder each and both souted "Digon Ally!" together.

They arrived in Digon Ally at the Quidditch store. They spend a few minutes looking around before they decided that they needed to get to there real shopping.

A few hours later after the had bought all there quills, robes, spell books, and personal items the spent tims walking around the street holding hands as the walked. It was an extremely hot summer day with a light breeze. Everything seemed just right.

"its hot today."

"ya it is, hey I have a great idea! How bout you buy me ice cream!"

he smiled down at her and admired her appearance. Her hair was up in a messy pony tail. She was sweating a little bit around her forehead, but he tought she looked like an angle. "Hermione ill buy you anything you want."

She let out a little giggle. "well I want ice cream!"

"ice cream It is then."

They sat enjoying each others company for a long time. They joked and talked about a lot of things. Draco asked her about her life, and she asked him about his in return. They were having a wonderful time together.

"Draco I no this sounds dumb, but I feel very close to you. I feel closer to you then I have about any other person." She suddenly felt very embarised an looked down at the ground.

"Hermione I feel close to you as well. These last to days have been wonderful. Im glad we will be able to go back to Hogwarts and still be friends."

"Just friends……oh." Her grin suddenly turned into a frown.

Before Draco could reply herd a very sarcastic voice he had hoped never to here again. "Draco im so happy that you have turned into such a wonderful son!. You have accomplished so much my boy. Shall I name them all. You have abandond your family, gone to live with the people who put me into jail, and now you have mudbloods as friends! Wonderful."

Draco looked up to see his very mad faters face in front of him thankfully he was alone. He looked over to Hermione and she looked hurt. "father I do not want you talking like that ever. This was my choice. You can not make me a death eater I would rather die than be one!"

"I see this mudblood bitch has rotted your brain. Be careful with her Draco if you get her pregnant your children will be impure gits."

With a flash Draco was up in his fathers face. He looked angrier than ever. His face was in a deep frown and then he started to yell very loudly. "I never want to here you say that about my girl friend ever again! If you even so much a blink an eye at her I will hurt you. I hate you and all you stand for. I never want to see you again. I wish you to die!"

"Likewise Draco I will hurt you." And with that he was gone.

Hermione had so many thoughts racing through her brain. Draco had just referred to her as his girl friend. Did he really mean it? I am not going to ask him that, that is embarrassing. He did seam very angry when her father called her foul names and made fun of her and Dracos unborn children, not that there would be any.

Draco was thinking for a long wile. He was still very angry at his father. How dare he call Hermione those evil names. He was remembering all that had been said. "i never want to here you say that about my girl friend……" he had called her his girl friend. He suddenly turned red. What if she didn't want to be his girl friend? They had only been civil to each other for two days. Was he moving to fast? He looked up at her, she looked like she was deep in thought.

"Hermione, ummm about what I said I didn't mean it to come out like that. And if you don't want to be my girl friend I would understand." He looked hurt and sorry.

She looked up. As soon as these words came out of his mouth she threw herself on top of him. She pressed her lips to his in a passionate kiss. The sat there for a long time until they both realized that the where in Digon Ally giving everyone a nice show. They both turned read and Draco was first to speek. "would you like to have dinner here at the Leakey Caldron with me?"

"I would love to. Your turning out to be a very nice boy friend."

The stood up hand in had and made there way to dinner. They had a very nice evening together and both treated themselves to a few drinks with dinner. They were so happy together that after dinner both stood up and when to the nearest corner. Draco found her lips easily in the dimly lit room. He gave her forceful but loving kisses. After a while his hands started moving up and down exploring her body. Hermione moned with pleasure when his hands reached her breast. He caressed her nipple and moved his mouth down to her neck.

"wait Draco…. I think we should stop. We need to get home and I don't want to get carried away."

"ya ok I guess. I don't want you to do anything your not conforale with." As he said this she detected a hint of sadness in his voice for he obviously wanted to continue.

"well lets go then."

And with that the made there way home.

Once they arrived back and gimland place Draco walked Hermione to her room. "well I no that I want us to go slow but I was wondering if you would sleep with me tonight. I mean if you would actually sleep?"

Dracos sprits suddenly lifted. "Hermione I already told you I wouldn't make you do anything you didn't want to do. I would love to spend the night with you." She opend her door and led him in. she took off her dress that she was wearing and was left only in her bra and underwear. He looked at her shocked. "umm Hermione?"

"I sleep in my underwear. Do you mind?"

he gave a large gulp. "no! I don't mind." He ripped off his clothes and was left in his breefs. He followed her to the bed and they both got in. after a while of him drawing and running his hands up and down her back the both fell to a very deep sleep full of dreams.
