Hermione POV

Queens was known for their rich interior, finished with velvet flooring, gold detailing, and diamond chandeliers. Their prices were also a bit high and I have only gone here three or four times. As soon as the moderately warm air washed over me, a waiter was before me guiding me who knows where. I was led to an alcove with its personal chandelier and lighting. There sat quite the shock.

Draco was facing my direction, but he didn't seem to notice me as his eyes were fixed on his hands. Next to and across from him were the cold hearted Lucius Malfoy and the poised Narcissa Malfoy. As the seat next Draco was pulled out for me, all three pairs of eyes stared at me. The patriarch and matriarch glaring with glacial shards, and Draco a look that could only be defined as desperate and pleading. I settled into my seat, shock still in place as I placed my purse down.

"What is going on, Draco?" I asked, not looking at him.

"Uh..I thought it was time you meet my parents," he said, forcing me to look up at his begging gaze. I felt something flutter on my leg and discretely, lifted the small piece of paper and reading it: Please play along. Please!

I looked into the grey eyes of the older Malfoys to see them eyeing my every move.

"Really?" I sneered. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"Um, mother, father, excuse us a moment," Draco said before lifting me by the arm and practically dragging me to the other side of the wall near the bathrooms.

"What is going on Malfoy?" I snarled, yanking my arm away.

"I was able to put off the meeting until now. Saying you were tired from the shooting, but this is as late as she'll take. Please Hermione, I'm begging you. Just help me out here. Okay? Please?" he pleaded, taking my hands in his.

"Malfoy! You are delusional! I told you 'no' and you still go and do this! I can't fake a relationship! They see right through it! You saw how they were tearing me apart back there! They'll know in less than a minute!" I argued, taking my hands from his and waving it every which way.

"You're an actress! You're supposed to be good at acting! I've seen you. Just pretend for a bit. Or maybe just this time. I'll figure something out. Please!" he said, leaning in.

"Mal-"

"I'll take care of everything! Just do what you do! Help me, I really don't want to be with Astoria. And they're expecting children. I can't even take care of an owl. Hermione, do this for a good cause."

There was a silence as I contemplated my choices.

A) Say no and leave. But then Draco will have to go through torture with an unwanted bride and child.

B) Play along for now and see where it leads. There is no logical reasoning behind that except for doing something good and perhaps melding muggle and pureblood culture.

C) There is no C.

Then Dumbledore came to mind. What would he do, I wondered.

"Draco... This once. and wherever it leads, I don't know if I can help you." I stated finally giving in to his eyes. His tense form relaxed and he let out a deep breathe.

'Thank you Hermione. Thank you so much," he said with a genuine smile before kissing my hand and pulling me towards the other Malfoys. Just as we reached them, he turned back, looked at me, then ran his hand through my hair and tousled my clothes a bit while I stood stock still. He did the same with himself and smirked, before confronting his parents.

"That took you two long enough," Mrs. Malfoy sneered at us in disgust and I forced myself to blush. I settled into my seat and breathed in, then out, in, then out.

"Well, let's eat shall we," I asked sweetly. They nodded in agreement and we did just that.

As we ate, we talked. Or more like they demanded questions and I answered diligently. Draco stayed in the background and didn't say a word. Stupid git. Pulled me into this and didn't even bother to share the burden.

"Well, that was a nice lunch. Thank you for having me, but I must really be on my way. We are shooting another scene today, and we plan on getting it done." I said, as I wiped my mouth and smiled. "Thank you again." I stood and adjusted myself and walked over to Draco and to his surprise, kissed him simply on the lips before shooting him a hidden glare and walked out. Well. That was one hour of gruesome acting out the window. He better have come up with a damn good plan.

"How was it?" Samantha asked, just as I stepped in. The girls crowded around me ready for some juicy gossip. Atlas came up too and I lifted him up.

"He wanted me to meet his parents." I said simply.

"What? Already?" Jane pondered, her face a mask of confusion. Should I? ... No, it'll blow my cover if they let it slip... I'll play my part.

"Well, when we were in school, we might have dated a little while?" I asked, putting on an abashed, innocent face. There were squeals and gasps. "And when Ron broke up with me, Draco somehow showed up and he comforted me..."

"Awww! That's so cute!"

"Is he hot?! Oh he has to be hot for you to like him!"

"And you told us you didn't want to meet him."

I blushed all the while, even though I was internally throwing up.

"What's his name?" Attie asked, with questioning eyes.

"His name is Draco. Draco Malfoy." I sung out. "I should get home. I need rest after that. His parents were grilling me." I chuckled a bit before putting Atlas down and getting my things together, all the while acting dreamy and float. But not too much. Or else it'll seem suspicious.

"Bye guys! I'll be here nine o'clock sharp tomorrow!" As I closed the door behind me, I pulled out my wand, checked around, and apparated back to my home where I instantly collapsed n the couch. Oh, what a day!

I contacted Draco soon after a quick, warm shower and an hour of reading. I knew I had to talk to him. I just wanted to put it off as much as possible. I whipped out my wand and conjured my new Patronus, a tiger, and sent him word to come to my house to talk. Within ten minutes, I heard the doorbell ring and was opening it. Draco stood in my doorway dressed as he had a few hours ago.

"Malfoy," I said curtly and moved out of the way. He brushed past me and nodded. We settled ourselves in the couch opposite each other and waited for the other to talk.

"So, Granger," he finally said, "What did you want?"

"Well, when I got back to the studio, they started to question me and-"

"You didn't tell them it was a hoax, right?" he exclaimed, cutting me off.

"No! I'm not an idiot! I told them... well I told them..."

"What did you say Granger?" he asked, a deadly note behind his other wise nonchalant voice.

"Um, it kind of seems stupid now...I told them we were sort of together during our years of school and then we got separated, and you showed up after Ron broke up with me." I said in a rush, gluing my eyes shut and shrinking back ready for the explosion of anger. And I was not disappointed.

"YOU DID WHAT?" he hollered standing up.

"What? I had to come up with something!" I argued, making sure my voice was strong and not trembling like I was inside.

"Dear Merlin! Granger!" He started pacing around and around then stopped. "Actually, that was sort of genius!" His previously worried face lit up. "We say we dated when we returned to Hogwarts after the battle. Then we broke up when the year ended and you and Weasle got together. But I met up with you a while ago, and we struck it up again! That's it! And you and Ron broke up! Ahh, this is perfect. Well, I must be going. See you tomorrow Granger!" Then he disapparated with a pop and I was left mouth agape and mind blank.

WHAT?! Does this mean we are dating now? Draco Malfoys! That was not my intention!

Okay guys. That was chapter four. It was sort of longer, but I'm still working on writing longer chapters.
