What's happening so far: Harry and Hermione Have loved each other since 1st year and everyone knows. Harry is a veela and problems ensew. Harry asked Hermione out on a date that has yet to take place...

CHAPTER 10: The Big Date

It was about 5 'til seven and Hermione was literally trembling with nerves and anticipation. Ginny had agreed to help her get ready.

"You look amazing! Harry is going to be speechless," Ginny said.

"Really? You think so?" Hermione asked in a small voice.

"Of course!" Ginny said firmly. Hermione looked like a princess. The dress hugged her curves and the shoes were charmed for extreme comfort.

"Wish me luck," she said to Ginny, thanking her a million times more, before finally going downstairs.

Harry waited patiently with Ron in the living room for 'Mione.

"This is just some stuff Charlie told me, but it seems to work. Ummm... Oh! Make sure you hold the door for her. Chicks really like that. And pull the chair out for her, make sure you pay for dinner-" Ron said ticking off all the things.

"Ron! I already know this. What loser wouldn't pay for dinner?" Harry's breath hitched in his throat. He missed Ron's guilty face. Hermione was slowly descending the stairs, wearing an uncertain expression on her face. She looked heaven sent. She was wearing light makeup with gold tint. He was surprised and extremely pleased to see that she was NOT wearing lipgloss. Cho was wearing that when they kissed. Not only was his face wet afterwards from her tears, his lips were also sticky and shinyy from the thick film of gloss on her lips. Can you say GROSS? (A/n I kissed a guy once with lipgloss on andI almost grossed myself out. I can only imagine how it was for him...)

"Mya, you look absolutely...WOW! I'm-I'm speechless. Words can't describe how beautiful you look tonight." Harry breathed. Hermione heard Ginny say "I'm always right..."

"Thank you. You look dashing too." Hermione said leaning in closer for a kiss, which Harry granted. 'Yeah, this is definitely better than Cho...' Harry thought.

"Bloody hell! You guys are just hell-bent on making me lose my lunch, aren't you?" Ron cried out in distress, causing Harry and Hermione to pull apart, chuckling softly.

"Fine Ron, we'll just remove ourselves from your presence. Come on Harry, we're not wanted here," Hermione said in fake turmoil, grabbing Harry's tie and deftly apparating to the Rasmusem.

"Name, please?" the man at the podium asked.

"Potter." Harry resonded.

"Right this way."

"Thank you, Peter" Harry responded. Peter looked mildly surprised that he knew his name, but soon remembered that he was wearing a name tag. Peter led them swiftly throught the tables and led them to a table with a view of Diagon Alley, London in the distance, and the sunset on the horizon. (I know the sunset isnormally around 8 or 9 o'clock inthe summer, but its my story! I control the sun! MUAHAHAHAHA!)

"Anything to drink?" Peter asked.

"Yes, I'll have a red wine." Harry answered.

"Alright, and for the lady?"

"I'll have the same." Hermione chirped.

"I'll be back with your drinks," he answered, giving them their menus.

"I'm so glad you don't try to order my stuff for me, I hate when guys do that," Hermione said gratefully.

"No problem. I know I would hate that," Harry agreed.

Hermione slowly drunk in her surroundings, listening to the orchestra trio in the corner consisting of a floating violin, a floating viola, and a floating cello; the slight murmur of conversation; and the place settings with cloth napkins shaped like phoenixes.

"Harry, this place is amazing!" Hermione beamed at Harry.

"Hermione, norestaurant is too beautiful for you," Harry said sincerely. Hermione's gaze softened and she slowly started to lean across the table, capturing his lips in a soft kiss.

"Hem, hem," Hermione and Harry sprang apart as if burned. Peter looked at them knowingly.

"I have two red wines?" he said, smirking slightly. Hermione smoothed imaginary wrinkles from her dress, not looking up until he left. Hermione blushed and took a hesitant sip of her wine as Harry smiled mischeivously at her.

"So, Harry , tell me something I don't know about you," Hermione said, tryiong to take the heat off herself.

"Hmmm, well, I think after the war is over I don't want a job in the wizarding world.I would still live in the wizrding world, butI think I want to be a vet." Harry said sheepishly.

"Oh Harry, that's wonderful!" Hermione said secretly thinking his blushing was the cutest thing in the world.

"Excuse me, mister and miss. Do you know what you will be having tonight? Or do you need more time?" Peter said out of no where.

"Oh. We haven't even glanced at them yet." Hermione said.

"That's fine, I'll give you more time." Hermione perused the menu, finally settling upon the chicken cordon bleu, fresh mashed potatoes, and steamed vegetables.

"Are you ready?" Peter asked patiently.

"Hermione glanced at Harry for the all clear before and answering "Yes, we are."

With one last thrust, Draco spilled his seed into Ginny soon after her release. They lay side by side, chests heaving, coming slowly, unwillingly from their high. Draco put his arms around Ginny and held her close, feeling finally at ease. 'She's finally truly mine...' Draco thought happily.

"Draco, I love you so, so much," Ginny proclaimed.

"I love you too. You don't know how great it feels to know that you are truly, utterly mine now," Draco said kissing Ginny's forehead tenderly. A pang of guilt hit Ginny sharply. ' I have to break it off with Neville, eventually,' Ginny thought. As Ginny and Draco drifted off to sleep, neither realized they forgot something very important...

A/N: I finally finished! What did Gin and Draco forget? How did Hermione and Harry's date finish?When willGinny breakup with Neville?All this and more will be answered in the epic story Love! (I know, so dramatic!) Hate it? Love it? Flame it? Happy I finally updated? Let me know! (I don't like this chapter, but it's up to you, my lovely readers)
