Chapter 5- The Date
…Saturday…
After having her hair and makeup done by Ginny, Hermione slipped into her new lavender, short sleeved dress. It came to just above her knees and accentuated her petite body. After making sure she looked alright in the mirror she told Ginny to cause a distraction so that she could slip out of the common room unnoticed.
Once she was out, she walked to the room of requirement and opened the door. Once inside she gasped, it was beautiful. The room was cozy and lit by candle light. In the middle of the room was a small round table covered with dishes and standing next to it was a very handsome looking Blaise.
"You look beautiful, Hermione. I could simply eat you," he said with a wink.
Blushing, Hermione replied, "Thank you, Blaise, you look quite dashing yourself."
The date was going great, they got along well and Blaise actually understood most of what she said. After dinner, the table disappeared and a small couch appeared next to a large fireplace. There was a small coffee table with a tray of chocolate covered strawberries on it. When they sat down, Hermione asked, "How is the food appearing? The room can't acquire food."
"You caught me," Blaise said with a chuckle, "I had a house elf deliver it all."
"Oh, that makes-"Hermione started to say before getting cut off by Blaise's hand on her knee.
She stiffened and looked up at him.
"Don't worry, I don't bite hard," Blaise said with a smirk while leaning in to capture her lips with his.
Hermione went along with it but when she felt Blaise's hand start to move she pulled back.
"Blaise, I'm, uhm, I'm not… I'm not ready," she stammered
"Come on, 'Mione, we both know you want this," he said, leaning back in.
Getting annoyed, she said, "Hermione. My name is Hermione, not 'Mione, and I said no!" With that, she slapped him and ran out of the room.
Still running, she opened the first door she saw and ran in, locking it with a spell she had just invented last week.
