A/N - I have just split the date chapter in half because I didn't like it so long. Working on a new chapter now.

When she was surrounded by the sound of London and she opened her eyes. "It's just up here." He pointed as they walked out of the quiet side street and he let go of her hand. They remained silent as they walked up the slightly busy street, until they reach a little restaurant by the name of 'La Bella Luna'.

"After you." He smiled to Hermione as he held the door open for her. It was only a small restaurant, but it's was absolutely beautiful, like they had transported to Italy. As the waiter showed them too their table, Draco put his hand on the base of Hermione's back, she had to keep herself together as chills radiated up her spine. Like a true gentleman, he pulled out her seat and helped her tuck into the table, then sat down himself.

"What happened to you?" She asked him when he finished talking to the waiter.

"I realised everything I had been brought up to believe was probably wrong and I had no right to treat people the way I did." He answered back immediately, like he already had expected the question. "I made some awful decisions, so now I need to try and right them, I owe it to the men who saved my life."

Hermione couldn't think of a suitable response, she was just expecting a sarcastic comment in return but he had been so brutally honest with her. The waiter had returned with a bottle of wine and poured it into two glasses, and with a nod from Draco walked away.

Draco took a sip and smiled, "This is my all time favourite wine, everything just blends together so nicely." He gazed at Hermione, "You can have anything off the menu, don't look at the price, I'm paying for everything."

"I can pay for myself, I don't want to put you out." she frowned, she didn't want to cost him a fortune.

"I asked you on a date so I will pay, you might not even want to be here." He smirked.

"But I do want to be here, and for all I know Ginny could have forced you to bring me out, just to get me out of the house." Hermione quipped back, trying to match him.

"Even if she did force me, a man still pays when he takes someone out, have you ever been on a date before?" He joked, but Hermione grew silent. She hadn't been on a date before.

"Well, actually I haven't been on a proper date before." She said shyly, so he almost couldn't hear. He looked at her as if he was waiting for her to start laughing, like it was a joke.

"You're serious? How can that be possible?" He asked, in some form of obvious shock.

"No one ever dated me properly, Viktor just followed me around the library, when I started with Ron we were on the run and after that no one asked me out." Hermione blushed, embarrassed by her lack of experience.

"I'll try and make this a memorable first first date then." He winked at her. Their conversation ended after being interrupted by the waiter and placing their orders. They had decided to skip getting starters and go straight to the mains, Draco would have a steak and Hermione had ordered a spaghetti bolognese.

All through the night, they talked and laughed together, it was almost as if they had never once been of opposite sides. They had finished their main courses long ago and were quickly devouring the last traces of dessert. Draco thought it would have been a good idea to feed each other the cheesecake they had ordered to share, but it hadn't worked so well. He had managed the get ice cream all over Hermione's left cheek and she had spilt some down his shirt.

"Do you want to go for a bit of a walk?" He asked after calling for the bill.

"Yeah, that would be great, I need to work off some of what I've just eaten!" Hermione joked. She watched him pay the bill - with muggle money - and was shocked to find him unconfused, like he had done it a million times before. They walked to the door as Hermione joked, "If you can do things the muggle way then the last last three years of my life haven't been wasted."

"It's actually quite easy!" He said as he held the door open for her, "I better help you down these steps so you don't break your leg." He smirked at her, and draped his suit jacket round her shoulders when they reached the bottom of the steps. At realising she was feeling quite drunk, Hermione paid extra attention not to embarrass herself.

After a moments silence she turned to him and questioned, "Can I ask you something?" She bit her lip.

"Yes, of course you can." He looked at her, slightly nervous.

"Is this a date because you feel guilty of how you treated me at school, or is this a date because you are actually interested?" She looked up at him hopefully.

A sigh of relief left his lips as he smiled, his eyes met hers and they looked into each other for a few prolonged seconds as he tucked strands of hair behind her ear. He leant down and entangled his lips with hers, it was firm but soft, she took a short time to respond as her heart rate raced at his action. Delicately, she placed her hands on his firm chest as his moved to her waist, their kiss deepened for a second before they broke apart. The perfect first kiss.

He removed his hands from around her waist and put one in his hair as he stepped back, "I'm sorry if you didn't want that, I just thought it was the best way to answer your question." A blush slightly crept onto his pale skin, "I shouldn't have done that." He almost whispered.

Before he could even start apologising, she had stepped forward and pulled his face down to meet hers, in a short but passionate kiss. When she released him, he looked back at her in a blissful state of shock, "You wanted me to kiss you?" he asked.

"Yes..." She grinned, "Where has your confidence with women gone? All the rumours round Hogwarts had you as a ladies man."

He just smiled back at her sheepishly and said, "I better get you back now, I have the morning shift and I'll need to sleep off this wine." She thought he may have been drunker than he appeared.

Finding a secluded street with no muggles, he apparated her back to the Potter's and retrieved his jacket from around her shoulders, putting it back on himself.

"We will do this again soon if you want too, I've actually had a really good time." He smiled at her, "I'll call you tomorrow to arrange something."

"I've had an amazing time too, the best first first date I could have asked for." She looked up at him, and they were kissing again. He pushed her slightly against the door, this kiss was much deeper and more passionate than before, his hands rested on her hips as Hermione's ran through his white hair. They broke apart and were silent for a few seconds.

"Goodnight Hermione." He whispered after he kissed her cheek. With that, he turned and walked up the pathway and apparated home. He knew how to leave a girl wanting more.
