Hermione took a while to get ready, she didn't know what to wear, as this was her first official date ever. She finally had decided on where a yellow dress with flowers and put her hair into a Dutch braid pinned up even though she never tried that style before. She was lucky that was one was in the room that night for she didn't want to hear the girls tease her with the way she looked.

Satisfied with what she looked like, she walked downstairs to the Gryffindor common room in which she was surprised to see Ron and Harry awake.

Ron's eyes went wide at the way she looked. "Blimey Hermione!"

Hermione blushed. "This? Well it's nothing really, I'm going out with a friend." She grinned.

"By friend you mean that ferret?" Ron snickered then crossed his arms.

"Ease up on her, Ron." Harry rolled his eye. He looked up at Hermione and smiled sweetly. "You go have a good time tonight." He winked.

Hermione nodded with a smile back and as she left she her Ron yell. "Are you kidding me right now?!"

Hermione grinned, she was glad to see that this was bothering him. It served him right.

Draco was in the Slytherin boys dorm getting ready.

"Where are you going all dressed up?" Blaise asked teasingly.

"Nothing special. Quit it…let me finish up." He said then finished combing his hair until he was satisfied.

"My, my Draco, I've never seen this side of you." Blaise grinned then bumped him on his shoulder.

"I'm only going out for ice cream, no big deal…"Draco muttered.

"Wait, what did you say? Did I hear you correctly? Because the Draco I know doesn't like ice cream." Blaise continued his teasing.

Draco rolled his eyes. "If you're finished, I am off now. Don't wait up." He said.

"You know I will, this is going to be gold. Mind telling me who you're going with?" Blaise asked.

Draco mumbled.

"What's that? I didn't hear you…."Blaise said with a grin.

"Granger…Happy now?" He said with exasperation. He left without another word. Sometimes, he can be irritating. He thought as he stormed out.

He had mention to her that they would meet at the clock tower and go to Honeyducks there. He was thinking what flavor he was going to get when he saw her. It was as if time stood still for him. She took his breath away.

Draco grunted and rushed towards her to take her hand. "Shall we?" He smiled. Shall we? Might as well come from another time. He mentally rolled his eyes.

Hermione smiled and nodded.
