Chapter 11: Apologies and Dates

"Draco, I'm sorry," Hermione said quietly.

"Why? I'm not," Draco said furiously, smiling at her. Hermione blushed and looked down at her shoes.

"Well, we are still going to Hogsmeade…right?" she asked tentatively.

"Of course!" Draco answered, surprised. "Why do you think we wouldn't?"

"Well, I don't know, maybe because we used to be bitter enemies," Hermione suggested.

"Hermione, we kissed! I don't know about you, but it was a pretty good kiss if you ask me…" he smirked.

"Well, I guess that's true," Hermione replied.

"You bet it is!" he said, kissing her on the cheek.

"Hey…?"

"What?"

"You can kiss me on the lips, you know..." she smiled. He grinned and leaned in again. "But only after our first date."

"Aww, come on?Mione!" Draco whined.

"Well, if I don't kiss you now, I'll get you excited for our date in two days," she smirked, looking like the Sorting Hat should have placed her in Slytherin with that look.

"Fine! I'll pick you up at 11:00 on Wednesday," he sighed, turning to go.

"Oh, Draco? Dress up just a little bit, okay?" she smiled.

"Whatever," he said, and walked downstairs for dinner. She beamed and followed him down to the Great Hall.

A/N: I'm so sorry for the short chapter and the wait. That last chapter must have been horrible, though, because that's the smallest amount of reviews I've ever gotten for this story. I hope I get more reviews this time. Love you all.
