MY LAST NAME

chapter 12

Hermione had fallen. She had fallen quickly, and hard. Every moment of the day, Draco drowned her thoughts, and it would make her smile. Everyday at work, she would count down the minutes until she could see him again, but today was dragging.

She sat slumped at her desk, her head resting on her hand. She glanced up at the clock, and sighed as it had only moved four minutes since she last looked. She sat back in her chair and stretched. All she wanted was to see Draco. Her body ached for him, her heart fluttered. It made her smile. She was soon brought back to reality when there was a sharp knock at the door. She sat up and composed herself.

"Come in" she stated. Her heart skipped several beats as she saw the tall figure that belonged to Draco Malfoy walk into her office. She stood up and gasped.

"What are you doing here?" She whispered, walking towards him.

"I have come to take my fair maiden to dinner" he held up a huge bunch of flowers, there were lilies, roses and vivid green leaves. She gasped again.

"Oh Draco, they are truly beautiful" she took them slowly off him admiring them greatly, as he landed a soft kiss on her forehead.

"Just like you then."

She smiled and walked over to a vase that had sat empty since she had it. She placed them in it and started to fiddle with them, making sure they looked spectacular on view.

"I've enchanted them, so they'll never die" he walked up behind her and placed his arms around her waist. He then buried his face into the slope of her neck and kissed it gently.

"They're beautiful Draco, thank you so very much" she placed her hands on top of his and rubbed them gently.

"Come!" He stated spinning her around. "Let's get you out of this god awful office, and go eat" he grabbed her coat and helped her put it on before he took her by the hand and led her out of his office.

They walked out into the sharp autumn air, and walked through the streets, hand in hand. He took his lips close to her ear and whispered.

"You are going to have to direct me to somewhere worthwhile, and I have no idea where I'm going."

She laughed and kissed him on his cheek. Soon after, they reached a small delicatessen with hanging baskets full of deep red and yellow flowers. They both walked in, it was warm and inviting.

They took a seat and ordered their food.

"I must say, a fine choice Miss Granger" Draco kept his voice low, so only Hermione could hear him. The room was very small and intimate, people would easily be able you hear what they were saying.

"I often come here for a coffee and a bite to eat" she smiled, looking at him made her happy. She felt complete with him by his side, as did he.

"Have you heard anything off Weasley?" Draco's eyes locked, examining Hermione's reaction.

"No, I had an owl off Harry though, asking if I was alright and such" she brought her tea to her lips. She looked down.

"They're bound to worry, Hermione" Draco comforted her. His eyes penetrated through her thick armour, they were comforting.

"I can look after myself, Draco" she half smiled. "They shouldn't be so, so"

"Judgemental?"

"Precisely"

Their eyes locked again as their food was delivered. Hermione tried her best to put it all to the back of her mind; this was the happiest she'd been in a long time, and she was rather angry at Ron for sticking a spanner in the works.

"Cheer up you" Draco took a bite of his panini. She poked around at her salad before sighing and slamming her fork down on the table.

"Why did you have to bring him up Draco?" She was angry at him now. He looked surprised at her sudden change of emotion.

"I was perfectly happy until you mentioned him" she crossed her leg and folded her arms.

"I was only asking" he trailed off. "Im sorry if I upset you" he smiled warmly at her, and it just melted her heart.

She picked up her fork again and started to eat.


"What. A. Day." Hermione flounced onto her couch whilst Draco was stood in the kitchen preparing a pot of tea.

"Well you're home now, all is well" he walked over with the tea and placed it on a coffee table. "And I'm no longer all alone" he whaled dramatically, he then kissed her gently and sat down next to her.

"I've been thinking" he stated.

"That's a dangerous thing for you to do" Hermione laughed. He threw her a disapproving look before carrying on.

"I think we should go away for a week or two. Somewhere quiet, where we can just relax and not worry about anything" he poured himself and Hermione a cup of tea.

"Where were you thinking?" She tucked her feet under her bottom and snuggled into Draco's chest.

"The Lake District? Scotland? Or maybe Ireland, perhaps?" He gently stroked her hair.

"Sounds perfect Draco" they laid there a minute or so, taking in each other's company. It was when they were the most happy. Draco sat up forcing Hermione to sit up and face him.

"Fancy, Draco Malfoy and Hermione Granger" he looked at her, admiring her effortless beauty.

"It is rather dangerous"

"Dangerously perfect"

"When can danger ever be perfect?" She took a sip of her tea, keeping her eyes locked on him, her gaze deep and intense.

"When you're involved, everything is perfect" he kissed her forehead.

"Even danger."
