Chapter 6

The ladies all met outside of the place they chose to meet this week. Pepper Pots is a magical diner that was started by Hannah Longbottom, nee Abbot. Her oldest grandchild now runs the place but it is not unheard of to see either of the eldest Longbottoms popping in to check how things are running. Hermione was hoping to see Neville today, she always had an affection for him since they went in search of Trevor on the train.

They walked into the diner and grabbed a table near the back where it was quiet. The ladies all chatted about nothing much important until the waitress took their orders. Luna then passed the journal to Hermione. Hermione opened the journal, ready to share her thoughts on her and Draco's first date.

January 2nd 1999

Draco and I went on our first date today. I was so nervous, he refused to tell me what he had planned. He did however convince Ginny to help me pick out the outfit to wear, so she knew where Draco and I were going. However, even the best-friend and as close as sister's card did not work on her. I will remember this!

Ginny had me wear a green long sleeved dress and ballet flats. I would have been okay with the dress but it exposed more cleavage than I knew I had. I felt like a Slytherin as I put on my jewelry since Ginny said I should go with silver. So I was decked out in silver hoop earrings, a simple silver necklace and bracelet. Draco side-along apparated me to a beautiful restaurant I expected we would be waiting for quite awhile because the place was packed. But we were shown to a private room. Draco just smirked at me when I expressed shock in his able to reserve a room so quickly for us. He wouldn't tell me how much it cost either! "To spend time with a beautiful and intelligent witch is worth all the Galleons my family possesses." Yeah, I melted.

After we ordered and were waiting for our drinks to arrive, we began talking about various things we did not yet know about one another. I had no idea how much Draco relied on flying as a kid. He claims that it was how he momentarily escaped from the demands his father would put on him. I also found out that he is terrified of rabbits. I know there has to be a back story there, but he quickly changed the subject when I tried to pry for details.

I shared some of my fears and dreams and then had him laughing as I told him about Harry, Ron, and my adventures while at Hogwarts. He was particularly tickled about my accidentally drinking polyjuice potion with cat hair in it during our second year. We ate and after the bill was payed he grabbed my hand and took me for a walk of the grounds. We did not get far before he realized how cold it was. I cast warming charms on us and I also cast a charm to keep my flats dry. We walked in the moonlight and it started to snow. It was so romantic and I was convinced he was going to kiss me again, but I was disappointed. He brushed a flake of snow off my cheek and told me that the night was not over yet.

He apparated us to an alley and knocked on one of the doors. An old man opened the door and I thought he looked familiar to me. He saw Draco and me and he let us inside. I then realized we were in Flourish and Blotts in Diagon Alley. Draco said that any books I wanted were mine. I went a bit over board but Draco was right there with me going through books and setting a pile aside for himself. We talked and laughed as we looked through the various books. I am surprised with myself. Normally when I go into a bookstore, my focus is on the books, but this time Draco had a good portion of my attention.

While it may not be the most exciting of dates, I think tonight was absolutely perfect. It was not over the top, I got to know Draco even better, and I got some new books, I have already finished one! I really hope our next date is just as enjoyable.

There is one thing that I want to do for Draco even though the thought scares me almost as bad as failing does. I want to learn to fly a broom and go flying with Draco. I think I am going to need Ginny for this. I have studied the theory of flying, but some things cannot be learned from books. Hmm, that is probably the reason I have never been a fan of flying in the first place.

Luna began to giggle. "I remember you learning to fly! That was a sight!" Ginny started to laugh as well, "about as much of a sight as you were that day Luna!"

Hermione joined in on the laughter as Pansy looked confused. "Don't worry Pans, I think Luna should read the entry for my flying lessons! Then you will know what we are laughing about."

Luna grabbed the journal and said "It's too bad you didn't use a pensive for this memory, this is one of those times when the movie will be better than the book!" before she started to read.

April 10th 1999

It is finally nice enough that I was ready for a flying lesson today. Things have been progressing well with Draco and I really want to do something special for him. So I bribed Ginny to teach me. She had suggested using Hogwarts but I preferred not to do this where too many people could see me. In a way it is a good thing we didn't because we increased the number of participants in our Girl's Nights. If I had a pensive, I would store this memory because, despite the times I fell off my broom, I don't want to forget seeing Luna walk out of the woods where we had chosen to practice.

Ginny started off much like Madame Hooch did in our first year flying lessons. Having me say "up" with my hand over the broom. It took me a few tries but the broom finally listened. Ginny was telling me how to mount the broom when the bushes near us shook. I grabbed my wand, I didn't know if it was a hungry animal, a skunk, or worse a death eater. I was wrong on all three counts. Luna came out of the bushes, but seeing her wasn't the biggest surprise She was as naked as the day she was born!

I asked her where her clothes were. (Granted, in my surprise it may have came out as more of a yell!) She told me that she was attempting to commune with nature, and the best way to do so was to be nude. She proceeded in her usual Luna-ness to go on about make believe creatures that could only be seen if one was in touch with their natural self. I started to zone out until Ginny interrupted my thoughts by asking Luna to join us.

"Flying a broom naked would potentially lead to slivers in my butt and a bad case of the Wollywoggles!" I still have no idea what Wollywoggles are, and was afraid to ask. I instead transfigured some clothes out of leaves for Luna to wear. At first I doubted she would take them. It took some quick thinking in explaining that since they were made from leaves that the clothing were as good as being naked.

For the next half an hour or so Ginny had me trying to get the broom to go up and then touch back down on the ground. Both her and Luna made it look so easy. I kept falling off my broom. I think the reason behind that had to do with me remembering flying on Threstrals in fifth year. I could picture Luna flying a Threstral while naked and being seen by some Muggle.

Eventually I was able to focus on my own flying, and could get the broom to go in the air and back down. I did not do near as well as Luna and Ginny, but both of them really enjoyed flying. Ginny then had us flying back and forth and I was doing rather well, until I fell off the broom again. I would have been fine, but I had dropped my wand. Ginny thankfully cast the arresto momentum spell and I was not hurt.

I really am not sure if I should take what Luna said after that as a compliment or an insult. She told me that I kept falling off my broom so much because my head was too heavy. According to her, I have too many thoughts in my brain and it adds weight that makes it impossible to fly. Seeing it written down here, I can't help but hear Draco making fun of my hair when I was a kid. I know he would have said something similar, though with more playfulness then we were children.

The rest of my flying lesson went smoothly. While I am not the best flyer, I am more confident on a broom now. I think with a bit more practice I will be able to go flying with Draco. I really think he would love that.

"Seriously, she was naked?" shrieked Pansy! All the women started laughing.

"I am more intrigued by Mione's imagining me on a Threstral while naked, that would have been a very interesting sight." Luna stated with a laugh.

The four friends continued to chat until they had finished their meals. They agreed to meet at Theo and Luna's house the following week.


AN: Reviews are appreciated. I would love to know what you all think. Also suggestions and ideas could be used in future chapters. I have an outline, but I can always add more if anyone would like to read about a particular situation. ~Gimme
