"Can you believe they did this?" Hermione asked Stewart excitedly, her hand clutched in his. "A cinema; a muggle-based cinema!"
"I've never even heard of one, let alone been to one," he confessed sheepishly, hoping not to offend her. If anything, her smile brightened.
"Then I am privileged that you shared this experience with me."
"Aw, Hermione," he said bashfully. "There's nobody I'd rather share it with."
She blushed.
"Anyway," he spoke, "what is it?"
"It's a place where they play movies and large groups of people can sit and watch it all at once." She saw his puzzled face and giggled. "A movie is basically a play, that has been filmed by a camera.
"So it's a wizarding picture?"
"Kind of," she agreed. "It's just an extended picture and you can hear what they're saying. Two hours of bliss if you're watching the right movie."
"Two hours?" he asked, disbelief coating his voice. "That's remarkable!"
They didn't discuss much more as they settled down in their seats and the lights dimmed, hinting to the beginning of the movie. There weren't any of the usual advertisements that Hermione experienced in the muggle world and for that, she was grateful.
Stewart's arm never moved from its place around her shoulders for the duration of the movie.
"That was incredible!" he exclaimed loudly, his statement causing echoes of agreement from half-bloods and purebloods that had never experienced a cinema before.
"We have to go again," he told her. She blushed and he seemed to calm down. "Hermione, will you be willing to go to a cinema with me, again and again?"
"Of course, Stewart," she agreed happily, pressing a light kiss to his cheek. "I'd love to."
