Hiya, I can't believe its chapter 7 already, its crazy. This is probably my most easily written story based on ideas for the story, but the hardest since I've never been to Vegas or done half the things I'm writing about. So I hope it all makes sense and you guys like it…XD Btw, the chapter title is just a bit of silliness, and I'm not sure if I spelled tuxes right.

Disclaimer: No comment… (Come on do I still have to remind you?)…O_O

When they arrived at the hotel, they were directed towards the Shark Reef Aquarium…where they paid for their tickets and started looking around at the beautiful underwater scenes.

"Wow, this is pretty cool…" Draco said, as a shark passed by the glass, "What is that exactly though?"

"It's called a shark, they live in the ocean. They are really quite amazing, they have skeletons made of cartilage instead of bone, they can regrow teeth and they can't ever stop moving or else they'll die," Hermione told him.

"Why?"

"Well they have to have water moving over their gills continuously or else they'll drown, unlike other fish…"

"Oh, that's strange. How do you know so much about stuff…?" Draco asked turning to her.

Hermione flipped her hair and replied arrogantly, "Well I am the resident know-it-all, you know, that implies I know everything…"

Draco chuckled at her performance that was similar to his earlier, "Really…looks like I'm not the only one with a big ego…so what's this one called?"

Hermione blushed and stammered, "Um…yea, that one is, err…I don't know. I really don't know anything about them, everything I just told you I got from the brochure I read."

"Ah, so you don't know everything," he said, then bent down and whispered in her ear, "Don't feel bad, neither do I…"

Hermione shivered as his breath breezed over her ear, "Wow, I better document this moment, the Great Draco Malfoy is actually admitting he's not everything he claims to be…no one will believe me."

"Okay, okay, I deserved that," Draco replied laughing, before starting to walk, "Now let's keep looking, this is really interesting."

They continued on looking at exhibits until the walkway started to form a clear tunnel, as they walked through they found themselves surrounded by water, and creatures of every kind swimming above, below and all around them.

"Oh my, this is exquisite…" Hermione gasped, looking around in wonder.

Draco looked at her, her eyes bright with excitement and before he could help himself, he said, "So are you…"

Hermione spun around so fast, he wondered if she was gonna fall. As she stared up at him, he did something else that seemed to be out of his control…he kissed her. It was tender and almost chaste, a release of feelings that neither seemed to be able to admit to themselves, let alone each other. As the kiss ended, Hermione found herself sighing and laying her head on Draco's shoulder. But before the scene could get anymore mushy, someone behind them cleared their throat. Springing apart as if they had been burned, they mumbled apologies as they continued to walk through, their faces red. As they emerged from the underwater tunnel they blinked, their eyes slowly adjusting to the difference in lighting. They were then guided to the room where they could touch various animals, as they washed their hands Hermione couldn't stop thinking about their kiss in the tunnel. It wasn't what she had expected from Draco, it had been romantic, she didn't know he even had the capability to be romantic. After they had washed their hands they were led over too a shallow pool where they could lean over and touch they various sea life swimming around. Hermione reached in and touched a sting ray for a moment before it swam off. Pulling her hand out of the water, she turned to Draco, a huge smile on her face as she said excitedly, "Did you see that? I touched it, it was amazing!"

Draco looked down at Hermione's face and thought to himself, she really is quite beautiful, why didn't I notice it before. He was so deep in thought that he did notice she was saying anything until she poked him in the ribs.

"Ouch!"

"Well if you had been listening to me, I wouldn't have had to poke you," she replied sassily, "Now as I was saying, are you gonna touch one?"

"Um…I don't know, I've never touched one, what if they sense that and try to bite my hand off…?" Draco asked skeptically, eyeing the pool.

"Oh stop your gibberish," Hermione said, grabbing one of his hands and trying to ignore the tingle that shot up her arm, "Now just reach down and touch one."

Draco swallowed and slowly touched one, it felt different than he expected, it was smooth and cool, instead of slimy. It was really quite amazing as Hermione had said, and he smiled up at her, not a smirk, but a genuine smile. He saw Hermione's smile falter a bit as he smiled at her and instantly his smile disappeared. He didn't realize his smile was that rare…he thought bitterly. Pulling his hand out of the water, he walked over to the sink to wash his hands, the moment lost.

"Where do you want to go to next," Hermione asked, following him to the sink and washing her hands as well.

"Well, I kind of wanted to go to a casino…I mean we are in Vegas," Draco answered, wiping his hands off.

Hermione bit her lip, she didn't have the money to go to a casino, but she said, "Okay, if that's what you want to do. I've been dragging you everywhere, so I guess it's about time you drag me somewhere."

"Okay, then let's get out of here and get changed, I'm not wearing this to a casino," Draco said, glancing down at his attire.

"Wow, you're worse than a girl…" Hermione sniggered, "Do you need to do your makeup too?"

Draco rolled his eyes at her comments, "You know you wanna see me in a tux, admit it…"

"You know it, babe," Hermione responded mockingly as they made their way outside and hailed a cab. Draco just responded with a scowl.

As they settled into the backseat, Draco slapped his forehead, "Damn, I forgot, I didn't pack a tux…I knew I forgot something."

"You actually forgot something, amazing…" Hermione quipped.

Draco leaned towards the front seat and asked the driver something, "We'll just have to go buy one, and you probably should get something too. The casino we're going to is one high-class place…"

"Fine," Hermione yawned, clothes shopping never appealed to her, "But since this was your idea, you're paying for it."

"Who says," Draco protested.

Hermione smirked, "Well I am your wife, so you know it is your responsibility to buy me things…"

Draco just huffed and crossed his arms at her comment, remaining silent for the remainder of the car ride. In reality he didn't have a problem buying her things, he was just miffed that she only brought up the fact they were married when she wanted something, and spent the rest of the time trying to get them divorced.

Hermione gasped at the opulence of the store where Draco had the driver take them. It's a good thing she had told him he was buying the dress for her, because she doubted she could have afforded to walk inside. She was pulled out of her stupor by Draco, who was holding the door open for her.

"Come along, my dear, time is ticking…"

"I'm coming…" Hermione grumbled, though for some reason pleased that he called her 'his dear', which was something she did not want to think about.

"Good afternoon," a tall, leggy, blonde in a short dress greeted them.

"Hello, to get down to business, I am looking for a tux, and my…friend, is looking for a dress, we're going somewhere formal, and we require only the best," Draco said in a snobby voice only the filthy rich can manage.

"Of course, this way," the woman turned and walked away.

Hermione scowled as she watched Draco's eye wonder down to glance at the woman's swaying backside. He was such a jerk, she thought, and what was with him calling me his 'friend', I'm his bloody wife. Now that bimbo probably thinks I'm his mistress or something. Hermione's musings were cut off when the woman stopped and spoke.

"This is Jordann," the blonde said, gesturing to a petite dark haired woman, "She'll be helping you, miss. And I'll be helping you, Mr.…?"

"Malfoy, Draco Malfoy…" Draco responded.

The woman's eyes widened a bit at the name, but she assumed her professional façade, "Well then let's get started Mr. Malfoy."

An hour later, Hermione was getting frustrated as she tried on dress after dress, though she liked Jordann well enough. It was that blonde bint that she couldn't stand, which made her even more irritated as she realized she was jealous.

"Miss…" the petite woman called from outside the dressing room, "are you ready for another dress, I think this one might be the one."

"Okay, it's worth a try…" Hermione said, opening the door enough to grab the dress. It wasn't her usual style, but she put it on anyway. Turning to look in the mirror she gasped, she looked like a whole different person. The dress was a deep red and hugged every curve, and along the one side there was a ruffle down the whole length of the dress…it was also a lot shorter than she usually wore, but she loved it. Stepping out of dressing room, Hermione gave a little spin.

"It's perfect, I knew it would be," Jordann said, "That'll make Mr. Malfoy forget all about Veronica…"

"Wait, what? Why should I care if Malfoy can't stop thinking about Veronica…" Hermione replied.

"Oh cut the act, I saw the look in your eyes when you found out she'd be helping him," Jordann said, waving her protests away with a wave of her hand, "And I'm guessing your more than his friend, your probably his secret wife or girlfriend."

"Wife…we just got married, it was an accident," Hermione mumbled, "We were drunk…"

"Yea, you can keep telling yourself that, but a man like Mr. Malfoy doesn't do anything that he secretly, deep down doesn't want to do, drunk or not," Jordann replied, before moving away and saying, "Okay, now let's go find you some shoes to go with that beautiful dress and we'll go with minimal accessories…less is more."

Ten minutes later, Hermione was meeting Draco in front of the store, as Jordann carried her things, wrapped and placed carefully in boxes, of course.

"Find everything…" he asked with an amused glint in his eye.

"Of course, Jordann is quite the capable saleswoman, as I assume Veronica is…" Hermione said, her face flushing angrily.

"Naturally, my dear," he said, as he paid, grabbed their things and held her elbow to guide her out of the store.

When they made it to the street, Hermione wrenched her elbow out of his grip, and then turned on him and said angrily, "I can walk quite well thank you, and stop calling me 'my dear'."

"I was only being a gentleman, my dear," he said mockingly, smirking when she flushed even more.

"You're the last thing from a gentleman," she scoffed, before continuing in a voice that was getting louder and louder, "And until we get divorced, I'm still your wife, not a 'friend', but I'm sure you didn't want that bloody bint in there to know that though, didn't you?"

At the end of her tirade, Draco smirked knowingly, and said, "Are you quite done, my eardrums are crying. And my dear, it is perfectly okay to be jealous, but you should know that I don't care what she thinks. In fact I found out she's a distant cousin of mine, which makes your claim completely ridiculous, don't you agree? And I was just respecting your wishes by not referring to you as my wife, since you don't seem to keen on that title…"

Hermione blushed bright red, but managed to respond in a clipped voice, "I am…not…jealous…I'm annoyed, there's a difference."

"Fine, call it what you want, but you're not convincing me," he said smugly, before hailing a cab, "Are you coming?"

Hermione glared at him and stuck her tongue out at him in response before turning her back.

"Well if you don't want the ride," Draco said, closing the door.

Hermione whipped around and yanked the door open, sliding in the seat next to Draco, "Of course I do, it's a free cab ride…now let's go."

"Whatever you say my dear," Draco whispered in her ear, "And just so you know, I'm glad you're jealous…"

Hermione looked up at him, surely he was giving her a hard time, but his face revealed nothing, so she acted as if nothing had been said.

Yay! Mushy parts and Hermione got jealous…:D Sorry if the Shark Exhibit parts weren't very good, I've never been there and it makes it really hard to write, so sorry if there is anyone from Vegas that reads this. Next chapter they're going to a casino…stay tuned and please review! I love them….XD
