A/N: Of course, I do not own anything involving with Harry Potter.

Wow. Reading the last chapter I posted last night. I see a lot of grammar and spelling errors that I have done. I just want to apologize. For the one that asked to why Hermione signed her last letter HM. That would be why, I guess I was still thinking of Draco Malfoy. Its meant to be HG of course.


Chapter Seven: Date Plan

By the time it came around to dinner time, Ginny had began to drive Hermione insane with the full depth of how much she adored Blaise. She glanced over to Draco, who was slightly grinning over to her and another paper airplane came in her direction. Hermione opened it quietly, as Harry had realized the airplane was another letter for Hermione.

"Who are these letters coming from?" asked Harry, his voice clearly stating that he was annoyed as he spoke over Ginny.

"None of your business." snapped Ginny. Ron glanced up ignoring Carmen, who looked to him annoyed.

"Oh, so it's okay for her to know but not your best friends?" snapped Ron, back at the two girls. Hermione gritted her teeth.

"No, Ginny is my best friend. She actually knows how to treat people fairly. Unlike two other daft gits I know." said Hermione as Ginny and her both stood up from the table. They left before the either boys could say anything, but they could hear the two boys bickering at each other when they walked away.

"Hermione, you are brilliant." said Ginny quietly. "It will be okay." she said, when Hermione didn't say anything else.

"I know it will..." she opened the letter that Draco had just wrote her.

Hermione,

Blaise is secretly thrilled to hear about Ginny. I'm curious to why Potter and Weasley

are angry with you? They are dense children, if you ask me. Blaise and I were just

discussing since Hogsmeade is tomorrow, if you would like to have sort of a double

date tomorrow but we can talk about this when we meet up tonight.

-DM

"That's perfect." mumbled Hermione, pleased. "Tomorrow I hope you are going to Hogsmeade and not have any actual plans when getting there." she said, turning to Ginny.

"Not really. I told a few that I could come meet them to have a butterbeer with them, but I dont have to go."

"Good! We are going to meet Draco and Blaise tomorrow somewhere and have a double date."

Ginny smiled. "Really? That would be great!" she said quietly, when a few girls passed them in the corridor.

"I'll let you know more detail later. I'm going to meet with Draco now and we can discuss it." she smiled slightly. "It will be fun."

"Hermione, everything is going to be okay with Ronald and Harry. They will come to their senses eventually. Promise. Even not, I know someone that will be waiting for them along with a bat bogey hex."

Hermione smiled. "Thanks Ginny. I'll see you back in the common room later."

she left Ginny in the corridor, thankful she had always had Ginny to help her. She walked quickly to the astronomy tower, ready to be able to see Draco again. She sat near the edge of the tower, looking up to the full moon. It was another perfect night at Hogwarts, the beauty was perfect.

"Its always beautiful up here." said Draco quietly when he spotted Hermione as came up the stairs. She nodded in agreement. "Do you want to talk about it?" he finally asked when he sat on the ground beside her.

"About what?"

"What happened with Potter and you? Then at dinner it looked like you two were yelling at each other again."

"Oh.. You caught that, did you? l I guess you could say the Golden Trio isn't as fair as it should be.. Harry just always seems to take Ron's side for everything that happens. No matter what it is, even when I'm the one that is hurt with a situation. I'm a girl, so of course I'm going to over react. Then he asked me who was writing me these letters and Ginny yelled at him and told him it wasn't his business."

"Well I don't think you are over reacting. What did you say to him?"

Hermione thought. Her response to Harry was about Draco and she didn't want him to know that. "Nothing really. Just, that I wasnt bothered by it anymore."

"Is there a reason behind that?" he asked quietly. Looking away from her.

"I guess there could be.. But it isn't completely the reason why."he smirked, he knew that it was the reason why and no other reason.

"So! Are Ginny and you up for the date tomorrow?"

"Does Draco Malfoy want to go on a date with me?" asked Hermione, smiling slightly to herself.

"Does Hermione Granger want to go on a date with him?"

"Only if he wants too."

"Of course I do. I want to take you on an actual date. That would be why Blaise and I are coming up with the idea. We want to take you two Madam Puddifoots. That tea shop; tomorrow at noon. Is that alright?"

She nodded. "Yes, that sounds perfect to me."she closed her eyes, letting the cool wind hit her. Her curly brown hair blew in the wind and Draco watched.

"Hermione..." he said, almost in a whisper.

"Hmm?" she said, her eyes remaining closed.

"Will you ever tell Potter and Weasel about our friendship?" the question caught Hermione off guard and she opened her eyes to look over him and she frowned.

"I don't know, Draco. I really would like too but they can be so bloody misunderstanding at times!"

"What if we ever became more then just friends?" Hermione quickly looked away and looked over to the sky.

"Then I guess I would have to tell them then. I can't hide a relationship from them. Never." Draco was pleased enough with her answer. She sighed to help her relax again.

"Hermione?" he said, quietly again.

"Yes, Draco?"

"It's getting harder each day to not think about you all the time."

"What?" she asked, completely unclear to what he had just admitted.

"You heard me." he kissed her cheek as he stood up and began to quickly leave the astronomy tower.

"Draco!" she yelled after him, but by the time she got up from her spot and down the tower he had already disappeared. As she walked around to reach the Gryffindor protrait she looked around every corner in hopes to find Draco walking through the corridor.

She sighed heavily when she reached the common room, sitting down at her corner table she always sat at when she was studying.

"What's the matter?" asked Ginny, sitting across from her at the table.

"Draco.. He was acting so strange. I don't understand him. Then he ran off on me before I could say anything back to him.." she mumbled.

"What are you talking about?"

"He asked me what Harry and I had been bickering about and what happened. Then he asked would I ever tell Harry and Ron and our friendship especially if it ever became more then a friendship.." Ginny looked ataken back. "Then right before he left he said, It's getting harder each day to not think about you all the time, kissed my cheek and left me... Ginny what does that mean?"

Ginny stared at the ceiling of the common room. "Hermione, for a girl... You can be dense. Obviously he likes you! why else would you be on his mind constantly? He just doesn't want to admit his feelings toward you because of Harry and Ron.. I know I've said that you should tell them.. Butthinking of it, how would you think they would react if they thought you were dating the Draco Malfoy. They would go crazy!"

"I know! They would. They really would." she said, sighing. Closing her eyes in frustration as she pinched the bridge of her nose. "I wish this could be so much simpler. Blaise and Draco also want to meet us at noon at Madam Puddifoots."

"Okay! Well, I'll keep an eye on Malfoy and see how he acts around you. I can tell when a guy likes a girl, Hermione. We've got this." she said smiling, trying to persuade the poor girl.
