She was slightly pink in the face as she entered the cafe. Just the thought of what had happened in the office made her quite a bit flustered. She looked over to their usual spot and saw him sitting there, allready waiting for her. She walked over there slowly with a small smile on her face. When he saw her approaching he shuffled out of his seat and stood up to great her.

"Hi." Hermione said, still smiling.

"Hi." He whispered back, his voice hoarse. They stood there, looking at each other for a moment, until Draco broke the silence. "Wel, uh, I thought we could maybe - that is if you want to - take a walk? Just around London?" He asked her.

Hermione's smile grew. "Perfect." She said.

"Great! I got our drinks already, so we'll be all set!" he told her a bit too enthusiastically. Hermione just laughed to herself.

They exited the coffee shop and started walking in a random direction. For a while they just walked, enjoying the sun on their faces and the comfortable breeze blowing in their hair. After a while Hermione felt that she finally needed to ask that one question that had been nagging her for the longest time.

"Draco?" She asked tentetively. He turned around to grin at her. He loved the way his name sounded on her lips. "What do we do now?" She finished.

His grin dropped and he turned his head back. He considdered it for a moment, but didn't say anything. After a long pause and Hermione getting more nervous by the second, he finally spoke. "I don't know." He stated simply. She looked at him, waiting more. Helooked back up at her and sighed. "Well, what do you think we should do?" He asked her.

"I don't know..." she whispered back. "I guess... I'll have to..." She stopped and looked at the ring around her finger. She didn't need to finish her sentence. Draco understood exactly what she meant. Another moment of silence passed in between them. But then Hermione felt another thing nagging at her. She had to tell him. "I'm scared." She blurted out and stopped walking to turn and look at him. He stopped as well and stepped closer to her.

"I know." He replied quietly. "Me too." They stood there as another moment of silence passed in between them. "But you don't have to be. I'm not going to hurt you. Seems I've done enough of that already." He smiled bitterly and she just let out a little snort. "But you can trust me. I will not let my selfish pride hurt you again." Hermione looked down on the floor.

"But... what do you want from me?" She asked. When she realized that had sounded kind of harsh, she smiled at him and looked back down. "I mean..what are we? What do you want us to be?"

"Well," Draco started. "to your first question, we are two stupid people who couldn't find a more convenient person to fall in love with." Hermione laughed at this. "And the answer to your second question, I want us to be... I want you to be... mine." He whispered, causing Hermione to look up at him. She smiled at him weakly. "I'm not willing to share you with anyone." He added. His eyes were now traveling down to her lips. She could feel her heart pounding faster as he leaned in for a kiss.

The kiss wasn't long nor wet. It was a kiss sealing their love for each other. Hermione had never had such a meaningful kiss, and neither had he. Although it was much too short, both of them felt satisfied by it and continued walking. As their hands brushed together, Draco grabbed hers and held on to it. So they walked through another silence, yet this time hand in hand.

"I'll tell him." Hermione said. "Brent, I mean. I'll have to tell him. But I feel..." he voice broke at this sentence. She couldn't handle the fact that she would be breaking his heart, right when they were planning a wedding. Just like that other lady had. She couldn't handle being so cruel as to making him suffer for more years. He had already suffered so much. Could she really break his heart again for her own selfish purposes? But if she didn't, wouldn't she be breaking Draco's heart?

Draco let go of her hand and this time wrapped his arm around her, soothing her. "Shh..." He cooed. "I know it'll be hard. But...I'm here." He said. Was that the right thing to say? Did that sound too selfish? He hoped not. This whole situation was so complicated. He would also have to divorce Pansy. He mentally smacked himself. His dumb arse just had to go find the one most complicated person to fall in love with. The things he got himself into.

They walked on for a while, neither talking. Finally, Hermione knew that she had to get back to her office. She stopped at the corner of the street and turned toward Draco. She looked up at him and stood up on her tippy toes to give him a little kiss. He was taken aback by this display of emotion. He felt rather silly for thinking this, but he was more touched by this little peck then anything else. Sure he had gotten intimate with girls and sure the kiss shared between him and Hermione earlier was intense, but never in his life had he been in a situation where he was given a peck on the lips just because. He had never had that kind of relationship. He was shocked as he realized that in fact, this was his first peck ever. He looked down on her, his face showing his confusion. Hermione just smiled up at him.

"We should get back." She told him quietly. He nodded at her, still not saying anything. Hermione turned around to walk into the alley and apparate into the ministry, but Draco grabbed her. She turned around and faced him questioningly.

"Tonight." He started. "Spend the night at my house. Please." He said. Hermione just looked at him for a moment before smiling and nodding. She approached him again and kissed him once again. He loved it when she did that. After they broke apart, Hermione turned around once again and apparated away, with a very calm and happy feeling inside her. No matter how complicated things were at the moment, she knew that everything would be all right. Somehow her and Draco would figure it out.
