~ Hermione Granger.
"Take this to Draco Malfoy girl" Hermione cooed to her big owl, and She watched it fly away until it was nothing but a speck in the sky, she silently wondered what she was getting herself into.
Dinner Dates
Lunch itself was a rather tense affair to say the least. Hermione was glaring daggers at Ronald when she got the chance and Ron did the same, thank god for Luna. She noticed the growing tension and decided to engage Hermione in a conversation. "Would it be odd to have a male maid of honor?" Luna asked airily as she leaned back into the booth, Neville's arm around her. Harry snorted and Hermione laughed before replying "No at your wedding Luna I don't think it would be very odd at all"
Luna smiled "Be my maid of honor Harry? you were my first friend after all.." Harry blushed Scarlet and shrugged.
"Sure Luna anything."
Half an hour later, Harry and I shoved the couple out the booth and told them to get a room, so now it was just Harry, Ginny, Ron and I.
Eventually I got up and decided to leave, after all I still had to talk to Malfoy, no sense in wasting time, I said my goodbyes and left and headed back to my Apt. where a Large gray owl was waiting for me, its intelligent eye's following me as I entered the room. I walked over to the bird and took the letter from its sharp talons.
To Granger,
I knew it, I'm irresistible. Dinner then to Discuss details, I'll be at your place around six Granger.
-D.M
Hermione snorted and scribbled a reply,
To Malfoy
Don't flatter yourself Pretty boy, not even going to ask how you know my address, Don't be late.
-H.G
With that she sent the letter off and a small part of herself began to freak out, what in Merlin's name was she going to wear? Hermione sighed and began to get to work. It was going to be a long night.
3 minutes before 6~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
She was done, her hair was smooth and in a bun with side swooped bangs, she had on a black vintage dress black pumps and a dark red clutch with her wand in it. She decided that she looked pretty darn good and watched the clock,at exactly 6:00 there was a knock at her door. She stood and answered it, expecting to she the pale face of Draco Malfoy she was taken off guard when she Met the blue eyes of Ronald Weasley.
"Can I help you?" She sneered, Ron looked her up and down "Where are you going?" he questioned, "Sorry I didn't get the memo when it was decided my life was your business." she drawled Ron opened his mouth to say something else but Hermione cut him off with a snarl.
"Listen up Ronald and listen close. I don't need you, Nor do I wan't you. Stop crawling back to me and move on " she said evenly her brown eyes narrowed. Ron simply snorted and shook his head, "I still can't believe anyone else would want you" he sneered, "You do don't you?" she spat, Ron shrugged " I Don't have high standards." Hermione rolled her eyes and pushed past Ron, taking the elevator down stairs. She would Wait for Malfoy in the Lobby.
When the doors opened, Malfoy was there waiting, He arched a brow "A bit eager aren't we?" he drawled in his usual baritone. He was wearing a expensive looking black suit with an emerald tie that matched Harry's eyes. "Eager to get away, that's all." she replied
Malfoy held out his hand, and Hermione took it hesitating slightly and then she felt the tug behind her navel. They were off.
They landed directly outside of the restaurant, the building appeared to be small, as modern as the buildings in the muggle world. It was called Callidus Anguis, Latin for cunning snake. "well come on then, stop gaping" Malfoy said with a devilish smirk.
Hermione glared and followed Malfoy inside, the double doors opened as if on cue, as they entered. Draco acted like he owned the place, and apparently he did. "Good evening " Said a lithe dark haired man, "Evening Jerome. Table for two if you would, secluded." Malfoy said in a drawl, Hermione easily kept up with their long strides. The man turned and saw her as they were walking "and good evening to you Ms. Granger " Jerome smiled a flirtatious smile, and she didn't miss Malfoy's scowl either.
"Evening" she replied with a soft smile, Jerome led them to their table, pulling out Hermione's chair for her as she sat down."Thank you" she smiled. "Jerome a bottle of white wine if you would" Malfoy said his voice a bit tight, Hermione smirked as Jerome walked away. "Somebody is a bit jealous" Malfoy scoffed "Whatever Granger, lets get directly into things. We only need to be married until my trial, after that we can divorce."
"as your fiancé, I will have to do what exactly?" she questioned
"we have to live together, and have proof of our relationship including witnesses. Pretend to be inlove with me, which shouldn't be to hard." Hermione automatically sneered. "You have to start calling me Draco and I have to start calling you Hermione,and don't be surprised If I ever kiss you. We are supposed to be a couple."
"I'll try not to sick up." she said "Oh and try not to fall in love with me" he added with a smirk, she laughed at the absurdity of it all "Trust me darling, I won't"
Jerome returned with their wine and was quickly dismissed by Malfoy.
"when are we going public about this?'' she asked as she sipped her wine, Draco shrugged "Why not tonight?" She almost choked. "Tonight?" she echoed. Malfoy rolled his eyes "Yes Gra-Hermione tonight. or can you not handle me?" he teased. She narrowed her eyes "Okay then tonight." she raised her glass "To a short and forgettable marriage" he clinked his glass with hers "Cheers" They said at the same time.
