Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

What had she been thinking? Why had she agreed to this madness? She had to call him and tell him the deal was off, no doubt that he would agree he would see how crazy this whole thing was.

She looked at the clock on the wall 6:47 he would be there to pick her up in less then fifteen minuets.

"Bloody Hell" her hands flew to her hair it still had the curlers in it, she started to pull them out. There was knock on the door.

"Fuck me," she said, he was early. He knocked again

"Uhh.. Come on in the doors open." She yelled and ran in to her bathroom. She heard the door open.

"I'm not quite ready just give me a minuet. Make your self at home." She called to him. She looked at her self in the mirror. She pulled out the last of the curlers and threw them in the sink; she hurriedly put on a little makeup.

She ran across the hall into her room and looked in her closet for her shoes, she grabbed them and pulled them on hopping down the hall to the living room.

"You're early," she said walking in to the room," I didn't expect you for at least ten more min…" She trailed off as she saw who sitting on her couch.

"What the hell are you doing here?" she spat at Ron.

"I came over to apologize," he said getting up.

"I don't time for this." She said.

"You have a date"

"That is none of your business"

"I know, I'm sorry…you look incredible"

"Just leave Ronald"

"Look Mione, I'm really sorry. I was drunk and I didn't know what I was saying, and I am really, really sorry."

"My Grandma Nia always said that drinking brought out the truth in people."

"That's not true I was just mad at Malfoy and I was a stupid prick."

"You know Weasley, it pains me to say that I agree with you, but you are a stupid prick" Came the drawling voice from the doorway. Hermione sighed Merlin his timing was really bad.

"Malfoy what the hell are you doing here?"

"I am here for Granger, we're having dinner"

"He's your date" Ron accused.

"It's not a date it's dinner and we are going to be late, so if you'll be so kind as to leave."

"NO you won't talk to me, but you having dinner with him, he called you a mudblood a million times." Ron said his face getting red.

"The big difference is that when he did it he wasn't pretending to be my friend"

"Is he the one you been having lunch with?" He asked. Hermione didn't say any thing.

"HE IS IS'NT HE?" he said advancing on her.

"You should leave Weasley" Malfoy putting himself between the two.

"This is none of your business Malfoy"

"I beg to differ, it has a lot to do with me" Malfoy said in a bored voice. "Now Hermione asked you to leave and I suggest you do just that."

Ron sputtered and tried to say something.

"He's right Ron just leave we'll talk later"

"Fine" Ron said. He stalked out of the room. Hermione winced as he slammed the door. She looked at Draco he was smirking at her.

"If the words four times or any thing like it leaves your lips, you will regret it." She said. He smiled.

"I'm sure I have know idea what you mean." She rolled her eyes at him.

"I have a feeling that you won't be such a surprise at dinner tomorrow."

"You think the Weasel will blab?"

" Oh yes, I would be shocked if he's not at Harry and Gin's right now"

"Hmm... Well at least we can shock Nott" Hermione laughed and grabbed her clutch and jacket.

"Let's get out of here before there are any more unexpected guests."

"I couldn't agree more."

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Theo looked at his watch it was almost 7:30, he couldn't help but be a little nervous. He had no idea how Draco would react to Isabelle. He looked at the beautiful women across from him; he knew that she truly was the one for him. She was beautiful, smart, kind charming, and she could make him laugh.

"Don't worry so much Theo," she said smiling "It will be fine"

"I wish I had your confidence," he said. Just then he noticed Draco crossing the restaurant with an attractive dark haired woman, Theo frowned she looked oddly familiar.

"Theo" said Draco as they came to a stop at the table "I'm sure you remember-"

"Hermione Granger?" Theo said suddenly "I knew you looked familiar, wait…whoa…she is the one…well this is…unexpected" He looked rather confused. Hermione started to laugh.

"Draco said you would react that way."

"Well It is quite a shock, I would have never have guessed that he was dating you"

"We are NOT dating" Hermione and Draco said in unison. Theo and Isabelle looked at the two doubtfully.

"We are merely spending a small amount of time together due to the fact the we have a few insignificant things in common." Hermione said.

"What she said," Draco agreed.

"Ok if that's what the kids are calling it these days." Isabelle said smirking.

"You must be Isabelle" Hermione said extending her hand.

"Please call me Izzy," she said shaking Hermione's hand "I'm Hermione"

" And you must be the infamous Draco Malfoy, Theo has told me a lot about you." She held her hand out to Draco; He regarded her for a moment and took her hand.

"He's hardly mentioned you" Draco said with an unreadable expression.

"Don't take much of what he says seriously, He gets off on being an ass," Hermione said to Izzy she leaned closer to the other women," just pretend to be offended or he'll pout all night" she said in a stage whisper. Theo laughed and looked at scowling Draco.

"Well mate I'd say she has you pegged" he said

"Shut up Nott"

Theo grinned at the women.

"Oh my It seems I've struck a nerve." He said. Draco just continued to glare at them.

"Oh come on Draco you and I both know that you are not that offended," Hermione said smiling at him. He looked around the table.

"We should order a bottle of wine" he said and signaled for the server. Hermione gave her best 'I told you so' smile and she thought she could detect the faintest hint of a smile tugging at the corn

er of his lips.

"So Izzy what do you do" She said.

Sssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hermione and Izzy were deep in conversation as the two men watched with something akin to fascination.

"How is it possible that they met less then two hours ago yet is seems that they've been best mate for years?" Theo asked.

"I think it's a female thing, they bond over shoes and such."

"Oh don't be silly Draco we haven't even talked about shoes" Hermione said and then when back to whatever she had been saying to Izzy.

Draco looked at Theo and shrugged. At that moment the server came by the table.

"Can I interest any one in the dessert menu tonight?"

"Oh Yes I'm thinking something sinfully chocolate" said Izzy " got any thing that fits the description?"

"I think can accommodate that," He said

"Good then bring two" Said Hermione. He smiled at the women and turned to the men.

"And would the gentle men like anything?"

"You might as well being a round for the whole table." Said Draco and Theo nodded.

"Right away"

Moments later he brought out a tray with four slices of a decadent looking Cake.

"Amaretto Chocolate Mousse Cake"

Wow It's almost to pretty to eat," Said Hermione

"Well the hand it over here" Said Draco reaching for the cake, Hermione brandished her fork like a weapon.

"Touch my cake and die Blondie, I said Almost"

"Bad move man trying the get between a women and Chocolate, People have lost body parts that way." Theo said grinning.

They all dove in the their deserts.

"Oh Merlin" Said Izzy "Hermione I say we lose these guys and take home the guy who made this." Hermione nodded in agreement.

"Hey it's not that good," said Draco.

"Yes it is" said the other three people at the table.

"Theo you are not supposed to agree with them"

"Sorry but this cake is the best I have ever had."

"You are all mental." Draco said pouting. He looked around at them all and then proceeded to finish his cake.

Ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Hermione and Draco walked up the stairs to her flat.

" I had a lot of fun tonight" she said.

"You sound surprised"

" I guess I kind of am, I wish I could say that Dinner tomorrow will go as well." She said looking up at him.

"You don't think it will," he said as he stepped closer to her. He cupped her face in his hand and started leaning in to her.

"Not even close" she breathed and she closed the gap. The kiss started out like their first, but soon became more heated and he brushed his tongue against her lips asking for entrance. She parted her lips in a sigh and his tongue swept in, She was very aware of every place their bodies pressed together and the sparks shooting up and down her body.

They pulled apart, and Draco leaned his for head against hers.

"I should go in," she said

"Ok"

"Alone"

"Ok"

"So…" she said pulling herself out of his arms. " I'll see you tomorrow night"

He nodded She unlocked her door and started to walk in. He called out.

"Good night Granger" She smiled.

"Night Malfoy"

SSSSSSSSsssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss

Ok so I know that they are going slow, but there is nothing like a little anticipation to make it all the better in the end. You know I'm right my lovely kittens.
