Chapter Twenty- Seven:
"So where do you want to go first?" asked Draco, looking at Hermione sweetly.
"I was thinking we'll walk around the shops first, and then later have some lunch in a nice restaurant, possibly be seated outside. What do you think Johnny?" asked Hermione, smiling at him.
Draco smirked, " I think it sounds perfect." he said, taking her hand in his.
On the way to the shops, Draco and Hermione noticed that they stood out like nobody else. Every single person that passed by gave them some sort of a weird look.
They looked like two complete muggles among wizards only. They were dressed in muggle clothing, and walked around talking and laughing holding hands, like most muggles do on TV.
Hermione saw envy in the witches eyes when Draco put his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear.
"Why is everyone staring at us?" he asked, smiling.
"Because, we look like total muggles, they're probably thinking what the hell are we doing here." said Hermione kissing him on his cheek.
"Well, I really don't care." said Draco.
"Neither do I." added Hermione.
"You know what?" asked Draco.
"What?" Hermione asked.
"Let's give them a reason to stare." as he said that, he picked her up and held her body tight against him. He then hugged her by the thighs and brought her body down so her face would level with his.
He leaned in and kissed her. A short, yet fiery kiss, caressing her new hair cut, and getting lost in his lust.
They pulled away from each other, looking into each other's eyes.
"Yumm, I was wondering what it feels like to kiss a celebrity." said Hermione giggling.
"Oh yeah?" Draco asked. Hermione shook her head for yes, her eyes twinkling with passion.
"So, how was it?" asked Draco.
"Mezmerizing." said Hermione, and leaned in to kiss him again while stroking his now black hair.
"You're so yummy with a bob." said Draco when they pulled away from each other.
"Are you trying to say that I'm not yummy without it?" asked Hermione in a mock hurt voice.
"You're even yummier." said Draco nibbling on her lips.
They kissed for a few more seconds and decided it was a long enough show. They let go of each other, and Draco brought her down to the ground safely. Hermione saw all the eyes in town placed on them, and as soon as she looked at them they all looked away.
"People have no dignity." someone in the distance muttered.
"Snogging in the middle of the street, what a shame." they heard another voice.
"There are children here, they should get a room." another figure muttered.
"Hehe." Hermione giggled. "I think they are going to be talking about us for a few good hours." said Hermione leaning closer to Draco.
"Yeah, I do to. But I kind of agree with them, we should get a room." said Draco, as he pushed her against a shop's window and started kissing her again, running his hands up and down her body.
"Dr.. Johnny, stop!" said Hermione in between kisses.
"But they told us to get a room." whined Draco.
"Exactly, a room, not a window." said Hermione giggling and walked away.
Draco followed her and together they walked from one shop to another. They bought a few things here an there. Nothing they really needed, but that didn't stop them from purchasing them in the first place.
When they got near the book store Hermione was ready to storm in when she felt Draco grabbing her by the waist and pulling her away.
"Johnny, let go, I want to go in." said Hermione, giggling at the word Johnny. It felt so awkward calling him that.
"No, you will not go in there. You will be in there forever looking through books that are useless. Frankly I don't want to fall asleep there while you shop around." said Draco pulling her farther.
"Come on, please?" begged Hermione.
"No." said Draco looking at her sternly.
"A few new books came out, and I must add them to my collection." said Hermione, pleading.
"Your collection would soon explode from the mass of books you have, and I'm not even talking about your book shelves." said Draco.
"Please, just a few minutes, I'll be out in no time." promised Hermione giving him puppy sad eyes.
"Ok, ok, don't look at me that way. You go into your book store, while I go check out some broomsticks." said Draco tapping her nose with his finger.
"Okie." said Hermione kissing him on his cheek as a sign of thanks.
"Make sure you don't drown in some book before I come back." said Draco, smirking at her.
"And make sure you stay there waiting for me." Draco added.
"Ha, ha, very funny. Now shoo." said Hermione and walked into the store.
Draco walked around in a few shops he needed to go to without Hermione. He bought a few things and then headed to the broomstick store. He bought some broomstick care supplies and put all of his purchases in the broomstick shopping bag.
Half an hour later he found himself walking towards the bookstore to fetch his girl.
He walked into the bookstore looking for Hermione. At first he couldn't find her, but then noticed her in some distant corner reading a huge leather covered book.
"Are you finished?" asked Draco, looking at her.
Hermione looked up from the book and saw him looking at her impatiently.
"Yeah, I am, I just have to pay for these." said Hermione, pointing to a huge stack of books next to her.
Draco took out his wand and moved the books to the register.
"Hurry up Nicole, I'm at the register." said Draco looking at her. Hermione got up, grabbed the book that she was reading, and put it on top of the high stack.
"I'm coming." yelled Hermione, as she closed the book and headed towards Draco.
"You're not coming yet, but you will be tonight." said Draco with a smirk.
Hermione blushed and looked away, as the cashier suppressed a shocked look, and turned bright red.
Draco paid for the books and they walked out of the bookstore, Hermione still blushing and Draco smirking.
"Are you hungry?" asked Draco, holding all the shopping bags.
"Quite." said Hermione taking out her wand and transforming the heavy books to feathers.
"That should make it easier." she said, smiling at him.
"Are you always this bright?" asked Draco.
"It's helpful at times." said Hermione giving him a playful wink.
Draco just kissed her on the nose and they walked off to an outside restaurant.
They had a wonderful lunch, they laughed, kissed, and enjoyed their meal to the fullest.
Off course it couldn't go by, without a whole lot of stares from strangers that were seating or walking by them.
They learned to ignore it, and actually had a few good laughs off of some people.
They finished their lunch, and went to a few more stores. Without realizing how fast time went by, the sky turned a ruby red; indicating the beginning of sunset.
"Isn't it beautiful?" asked Hermione, looking at it.
"Not more beautiful than you are." replied Draco and grabbed her into a passionate kiss.
When they pulled away, they walked off to a secluded street to apparate back home.
They walked near the Hog's Head when they noticed two Death Eaters walking in their direction.
"Uh oh." said Hermione, fearfully.
