A/N: Have I completely ruined this story?? Is it one of those cheesy tarty stories? Please review and if you think I screwed it up where is it that it started going downhill because I may just rewrite parts of it if you guys could tell me what I did wrong. Thanks ~Slytherin_Smartass69~
She opened the door but was surprised at the sight before her, she had of course expected Draco, but there standing in her hallway was Blaise Zambini. She stood in the door fro a moment before she cocked her head to the side in confusion, regardless she stepped aside and motioned for him to enter.
"Hello how are you Blaise? And better yet what brings you hear?" she inquired.
"Im fine thank you, and I'm hear because Draco sent me he said he was sorry that he couldn't make it tonight and that something came up at Malfoy enterprises, but he did switch the reservations into your name and said that if you agreed I could simply fill in for him" Blaise finished with a dazzling smile gracing his features.
"Oh of course just let me change my shoes I don't think they match this dress very well" Hermione said as her excuse line, and padded of to her bedroom.
Had there really been an emergency or did Malfoy really just hate her that much? She didn't know at this point but her anger was channelled again, and she could guarantee that it was gonna suck to be Malfoy.
Unbeknownst to her Draco Malfoy sat home at his desk reading an owl he had just received from Hermione saying to pick her up an hour later because some business had come up and she would still be able to attend but she would need more time.
Draco of course found nothing suspicious about this because come on he was Draco Malfoy what female would turn down a date with him, it wouldn't surprise him if she just needed the extra hour to make herself look good enough to be deemed presentable. And he really didn't mind waiting it was just an extra hour.
Neither of the two really could have predicted that Blaise had set up the whole thing. He had sent the owl to Draco and then of course gone to hermione's apartment and fooled her which had been surprisingly easily for her being the supposed brightest witch of the decade.
Earlier that day Blaise had gone over to Draco's just to drop in and say hi to his best mate. He had been surprised to know that Draco had already secured a date with the witch Blaise was hung upon. Even thought both men had only met her a few times outside of school there was just something about her that drew them both in.
Blaise had been furious when he had discovered this, so as he was taking to Draco he was able to get the restaurant name that he was planning on taking her too, that would definitely come in handy while he was planning. So as he left the Malfoy manor, he sent off two owls, one to the restaurant requesting that the Malfoy reservation be switched to the name Granger. The second was sent to Draco to ensure he was too late.
After all, All Is Fair In Love And War……… Right?
Hermione emerged from her room in a pair of heels that were slightly different, a bit shorter as to ensure her comfort a bit more.
Blaise offered his arm, which she took and he apparated them to a high class restaurant in Diagon alley. It had just opened and was widely know for how delicious the food was but also for how pricey it was.
The pair walked up to the podium where a snobby man stood, taking coats and showing people to their tables. Blaise announced that the reservation was under Granger, and the little man directed them to a small table in a secluded corner of the restaurant with a candle resting in the middle. "Wow Draco really had planned something" Blaise thought with an evil smirk gracing his face, "well too bad he's gonna be late for his own date".
Blaise pulled out hermione's chair and sat down himself across from her. The waiter came over and the pair ordered a bottle of wine and their meals, Hermione chose a lasagne and Blaise fettuccine Alfredo.
Draco arrived at hermione's apartment like she had asked an hour later, and knocked upon her door. He waited for a minute and when there was no answer he knocked again but was still met with only silence. He stood in the hallway looking like an idiot for around ten minutes before he decided to simply alohamora her door and go to see if she had fallen asleep of something.
He entered the apartment and was met with the sight of no Hermione, he finally came to the conclusion that she hadn't wanted to go out to supper with him so she had left her apartment. Regardless he decided he was going to go to the restaurant and drink himself silly at the bar.
He apparated and walked up to the snobby little man and stated that his name was Draco Malfoy and that he had reservations. The man looked up and told Draco calmly that the reservation had been switched to granger and that the party was already present and enjoying there meal.
With this information he barged into the restaurant and made his way to the back table that he knew he had reserved for himself and Granger. And what he saw made his blood boil. There sat his date, Hermione with a smiling and laughing Blaise Zambini.
As he was about to approach he saw the waiter come out of the kitchen with their food, and a plan formed in his head. He approached the waiter and convinced him to pass Draco the food and that he would bring it to the couple. So with the food in hand Draco walked over to their table, "enjoying the evening?" he asked with a voice of ice.
