Thanks again.

Hermione stared at him in shock. 'Malfoy? What are you doing here?' A smirk spread across hid face like wild fire. 'Eating, of course.' Hermione sighed. 'Take a seat.' Draco sat down in the seat across from her. Draco looking quiet handsome in his muggle tuxedo. His hair wasn't slicked back but it fell like a curtain around his eyes. Draco was staring at Hermione as well. She looked wonderful … for a Mudblood. He thought to himself. 'So Granger, Why are you all by your lonesome?' Draco asked as he pressed his drink to his lips. Hermione shrugged. 'Nothing really better to do. What about you?' Draco again took another drink. 'I like it that way.' Hermione looked at him questionably. 'Then why are you sitting with me?' Draco was now staring at the couples dancing while fiddling with his napkin. 'Why not?' He responded still not looking at her. A thousand answers flew threw her mind. Um maybe because we hate each other? Maybe because you're the enemy? Maybe, just maybe you've forgotten how much you despise me? Draco already knew what she was thinking. Sighing he said 'Look Granger. It's not a big deal. You looked a little lonely. Why can't we just enjoy the company?' That took Hermione off guard. She thought about it for a moment. Could he be up to something? She asked herself. Finally pushing all arguments aside she smiled. 'Alright Malfoy.'

Soon Jacob brought Hermione her drink. Looking a little surprised to see Malfoy. Was that disappointment I saw? He thought to himself as the waiter glanced at Draco then sauntered away. Hermione seemed content in pretending that her drink was that interesting.

After about half way threw her second drink the mood seemed to defiantly lighten. Draco and Hermione began to talk. Everything from Hermione's Arithmancy class to Quidditch. Both became very relaxed with each other. Draco found himself enticed by her. The way a soft curl would fall in front of her eyes when she laughed. The way her cheeks would flush when she smiled. What are you thinking Draco? She's inferior.' Mentally slapping him self. 'But look… Look at the way she sips her drink, her laugh, that smile that she had never bestowed towards me before. She has such a natural grace about her.' Quickly he tuned back into what she was saying 'You can't honestly tell me you love chasing a small gold insect!' She sat there waiting for a reply. Draco again turned his attention to the dance floor again. Hermione joined him. Watching all of the couples sway to the music. Draco stood and rolled up the sleeves on his shirt. Hermione looked up at him.

Draco looked down at Hermione holding out his hand. She looked at his hand then back at him. Her hand slid into his as she slid out of her seat. Draco led her over to the floor. Hermione recognized the song; Billie Holiday's Come rain or Come Shine. Draco stopped and turned to face Hermione. Taking her soft delicate hand and pressing it to his chest, while wrapping an arm around her waist. Drawing her closer. Hermione couldn't resist giving into his arms. She placed her head against shoulder. And let all else disappear. Her eyes closed, looking like she was at peace. But her stomach was very busy. It felt like a million butterflies had just hatched in her stomach. Draco tilted his head to rest atop of hers. Draco had a warm tingly feeling spread all over his body. He exhaled with contentment. Hermione on the other hand was trying to absorb his intoxicating scent. It wasn't over powering. Very subtle, this made it all the more enticing. Am I actually enjoying this? Hermione you can't. Inwardly scolding her self. But for now it just feels so right. You know your enjoying this. Stop looking so far into it. Once the song ended they stopped at looked at each other. Searching for some kind of a reaction. Draco cleared his throat and took a step back away from Hermione. Feeling slightly hurt she cast her eyes to the floor. And Draco knew it. 'Come on. I'll take you home.' He said as he lifted her chin, forcing her to look at him. Hermione nodded. Grabbing her purse and began to rummage for money. Draco put his hand on top of hers. 'I got it.' He said whiling flashing her smile. Hermione's face turned bright red and she smiled back. Draco grabbed a wad of money out of his pocket and tossed it on the table. As they left the club Hermione felt a hand at the small of her back leading her out. Hermione felt the heat rise to her face yet again. 'So where does the infamous Granger live?' Draco asked. 'Well actually not far from here, on knightly drive.' Hermione responded while rubbing her arms for heat. 'Would you like to walk?' Draco asked as he took off his jacket and placed it over her shoulders. Hermione smiled and nodded.

They both seemed to be taking their time walking to Hermione's home. On the way, there was little conversation. Each absorbed in their own thoughts. But it was a comfortable silence. Before Hermione knew it she was standing in front of her gate. 'Thank you for walking me home, the drinks… everything. It was fun.' Draco had his hands in his pockets, feeling unsure what to do next. He's never had this problem before. He always knew how to handle women. But this was different. 'Yeah well don't get used to it.' He said with a smile. Hermione laughed. 'So I'll see you around school. Goodnight Draco.' Draco was shocked to hear his name come out of her mouth. Their eyes locked. That fugitive curl was back. Gently brushed it out of her face and tuck it behind her ear. Before either of them really knew what was happening Draco had his hand behind Hermione neck, pulling her face close to his. His face only a centimeter away from hers 'Goodnight Hermione' he whispered. Growing restless Hermione grabbed a hold of Draco's shirt collar and pulled his lips to hers.

Well that was chapter two. I really hoped you liked it. Please review. Thanks.
