One Single Rose Ch 12

Date # 8

Hermione left OSR. She still had time before her date and she still needed a dress for tonight's date. Madame Malkins was still open so she went over to the shop. She had a idea of the type of dress she was looking for. She went to where the dresses were and began to look.

She was in the dressing room with two dresses she was trying to choose from. There was a dark blue floor length dress or a silver halter top floor length A shape dress. She had tried both of them on twice and still it took another five minutes for her to go with the silver one. She payed for the dress and that was it. She had tons of shoes, but the one's that Marcus had gave her was the one she was going to wear. She also had a ton of jewelry at home and did not need to buy any. She left the shop and went home.

When she got back to her house she only had 30 minutes to get ready. She got a quick shower and put on her dress and the silver shoes. Around her neck was the teardrop necklace that Marcus had gave her and for her earrings she wore a pair of diamond studded ones. She wrapped her hair in a quick bun and did a spell to keep it like that. When she was done she went to the kitchen and grabbed the key and was gone.

When she arrived at the place it was a small cottage with wooden logs. She fixed her dress and patted her hair to make sure it was still in place and then she opened the door. The place was nice it had round tables and cream color walls and in the front ,close to the door, was a man in a tux. The man smiled and gestured for her to follow him. Hermione followed the man. While she was doing that she looked around and notice that there was no one else around. They stopped in front of a table in the middle of the restaurant. There was a young guy sitting there in a tux with brown hair and a lean body. When Bobby looked up and saw that Hermione was standing there he got up. The gentlemen in the tux looked at Bobby funny and said, "Sir, your date." and then walked off. Bobby moved away from his seat and moved beside her and pulled out her chair. Hermione sat down and he pushed her in. Hermione thought this is not a bad start.

Hermione placed her napkin on her lap and smiled at Bobby. He got back to his seat and said, "Your pretty I'm glad I came." Hermione smiled at that and then asked, " Why is there no one else around?" "I don't like a lot of people and thought why not." answered Bobby. "So you kicked everyone out. How?", asked Hermione. "I payed everyone." said Bobby plainly with a smile. So you do that a lot when you have money." said Hermione. "I always have money and yes I do." She was about to ask a question when the waiter came to their table with the menu's. The waiter handed Bobby the wine list. "We'll have the 1980 Grace Family Cabernet Sauvignon. , ordered Bobby. The waiter smiled nodded his head and left.

So Bobby what is it that you like to do?" He looked at her and said, " I like to hang out with my friends, and stay home. I also like to hang out with a lot of girls. Hermione had to close her mouth on that one. She was not sure, but did he just say that he like's to hang out with a lot of girls while he was on a date with her. What the hell was wrong with him. Hermione just smiled and nodded her head. "So how old are you?" asked Bobby looking at her like she was some piece of meat. "I am 26." said Hermione moving her chair a little bit away from him without him knowing. She however failed. Bobby grabbed the bottom of her chair and moved her back or maybe a little more closer to him. He tried to place his hand on top of her's but she moved it just in time. He was about to try again when the waiter came back with the wine.

The Waiter took out a cork screw and pulled the cork from the bottle handing it to Bobby to smell and poured the wine into the glasses. "Are you ready to order?" asked the waiter. Hermione quickly looked over the menu and decided that the squash and fish sounded good. She was about to say what she would like. When Bobby said that they would both have the roast quail with grapes and chestnuts with the rice primavera and chocolate gateau for dessert . The waiter left and took the menu's. If looks could kill then Bobby would have died right there and then. Hermione was angry no guy has ever and will ever order for her unless she asked them to. When she had calmed down a little bit she told Bobby that she could order for herself and did not need him to do it for her. Bobby looked at her and said " I know I just like doing it. He then put his chair on two legs. Hermione watched and then lifted her foot and gave him a little push. Bobby went down with a loud crash. She was out of her chair and by him and asked "Are you OK?" "I'm fine", sneered Bobby getting up. "I'm glad. I'm going to go to the restroom I will be right back.

Hermione got to the restroom and leaned against the wall and thought, "I'm not sure how much more I can take of this. Come on Hermione put yourself together and get out there. The sooner you get through this the sooner you can go on your date with Daniel. The pep talk from herself really help her. She washed her hands and left the room.

She thought she was heading back to the tables, but somehow she must have went the wrong way. She was standing in the kitchen with house elves chained to the floor and cooking. They were in bad shape and it broke Hermione's heart. She moved next to one of the female elves and tried to undo the chains, but nothing worked.
"Miss, there is nothing you can do. Please go back to your date. Hermione not one to leave things alone took out her wand. She said a spell and nothing happen. "Miss really its OK we will be fine. Hermione looked around the room other then the way it looked the house elves looked happy. Hermione got up off her knees and saw there was another door. She had tried, but they just wanted to be left alone. She walked through the door and left the house elves behind.

The door had led her back to the front of the restaurant. Bobby was sitting at the table looking pretty ticked off. It gave her a warm feeling inside to see him like that. She walked up to it and Bobby said, "Did you get lost?" in a sarcastic way. "As a matter of fact I did." said Hermione sitting down in her chair. She then went on to tell him what she had saw. When she had finished telling him. He just had this smug look on his face and said, "Their House elves it's what they were made for. What is wrong for that?"

Hermione had enough of this date. In no way shape or form was this guy for her. She stood up from her chair placed her napkin on the table and went to stand by Bobby. She lean down got right in his face and said, "I am the founder of S.P.E.W and I will not sit here with a little rich boy who thinks so little of the elves. Good night Bobby Stevens." She moved out of his face when Bobby's hand grabbed a hold of her arm. "Where do you get off on telling me this date is over." said Bobby gripping her tighter. Hermione got her wand and pointed at him. "I have faced more in my life time then a little no one like you could know so unless you want to go home without your wobbly bits I would let me go." said Hermione. She watched as fear crossed his eyes and then he let her go. Hermione put her wand up and left the restaurant. She port keyed back home.

When she got back home she went right to her room to change out of her clothes. She was in the bathroom and was removing her earring when she heard tapping coming from the kitchen. She knew the owl that was pecking on her window. It belonged to Daniel. Hermione let the owl in and took the note that was attached to the leg. It read, Hermione I will be at your house to pick you up at 8pm please be ready. Can't wait for tonight. Daniel.

She also could not wait. She had 2 hours and 10 minutes until he would be there. She was on her way back to her room when her belly let her know that she did not eat. The whole fight with Bobby had made her forget. She went back in the kitchen and grabbed a bag of crisps and munched on them. She was about to go out again and did not want to be ruining her appetite. When she finished the crisps she went to take her a shower. The shower was nice and helped her free up some of her tense muscles. She got out of the shower and wrapped the towel around her and went to her panty drawer and pulled out three sets. The first was a white lace bra with sheer panties, the second was pink lace bra and pink thong, and the last was a black lace with hi cut black panties. It took just a few seconds to go with the pink ones.

She was dressed and ready to go. She had on a black skirt that was just above the knee, and a dark blue silk blouse button up. Her hair was up in a nice bun to show off the black hoops she had in her ears. On her feet was a pair of black high heels and in her hand was a sparkle clutch that she had borrowed from Ginny and forgot to give back to her. She went to her living room to wait for Daniel.

That is all for now. Thank you MEA346. please review
