Fancy Meeting You Here.

'Can you get her calmed down?' Hermione asked Harry. 'She's never going to be able to fly her tryout. I know she can do it but she needs to calm down.'

'Yea, I know, I'm trying. Where's Ron?'

'Over there trolling the pitch lizards, again.' Hermione rolled her eyes. 'Hey I'm going to go take a walk.' Hermione told Harry.

'Fancy meeting you here.' Draco drawled.

'Yea, who would have known, that I would followed them around.' as she motioned over her shoulder. 'So you trying out?'

'Yea, I figured I give Potter a run for his broom.'

'Which team are you hoping for?'

'Any really, not bothered just want to play.'

'So if the Chudley Cannons want you, you'd still play?'

'Ok got me there, don't want Weasel coming to cheer me on.' Draco smiled. "Well it's my turn up want to come watch?'

'Sure why not, at least I can trash talk you later.' She grinned at Draco as he walked onto the pitch.

'What are you talking to him for?' Ron said with a snarl.

'Ronald, he is trying out just like you.' She huffed at him.

'Ladies and gentlemen, the list is up so please look to see what teams are interested in you and go to their designated spot for your final fly trial.' came over the loud speaker, as Ginny came running over.

"I got a Harpies call back.' as she jumped up and down in joy. 'Harry who did you get?'

'Wimbourne Wasps in a fly off with Draco.' He huffed. 'Ron?'

'Fly off for the Chudley Cannons.' A little depressed, he was hoping for a better team, even though the Chuds was his favorite team. 'Well, I better go.' as he turned to leave.

'Yea, I'm over there.' as Ginny took off to the far side of the pitch.

'Well, are you going to cheer me on Mione?' Harry asked.

'Of course. I wouldn't miss it.' as Harry turned to the crowd of coaches and players on the sideline right in front of them.

'Hey Granger.' Draco came up to her. 'Hey would you let me court you?'

'What, court me?'

'Ok would you at least let me date you? Maybe even agree to be my girlfriend at some point?'

'Date me?'

'Yea Granger, date you? I don't want to rush you but I need an answer.' Draco huffed.

'Um… what is the difference between court and date?'

"I don't have time to explain right now but would you let me date you?' he was getting a little frustrated waiting for an answer.

'Um… yes we can date.'

'Good,' he turned to the crowd. 'Potter can have first string and I will take the relief spot.' He turned back to Hermione. 'Good now I don't have to have a fly off.' As he climbed up into the stands and sat next to Hermione.

'What in merlins was that all about?' Hermione turned to ask Draco.

'Yea Draco what was that all about?' Harry huffed as he too climbed into the stands to sit with them.

'Well we tied for the spot, if I'm first string I won't have time to properly date Hermione here. But if I take relief I only play if you call in sick, I only have to be at team practices once a week not every day unlike you.' Draco grinned and sat back in his seat. 'I will have plenty of time to date this beautiful creature beside me.' as he winked and grinned. 'So from now on Potter get with Hermione to see what she has planned for us and if she is willing to give up a day or two so you and Weaslette can have a night out that's fine with me.'

'You are giving up a spot on a team to date me?' Hermione blinked.

'I was only doing it for the fun of it and to give Potter some good competition. Show the coaches how good he really is. And if I really want to play I can come out anytime and play at the practices. So Granger can I take you out after I take a shower?'

'Only if you explain the differences between courting and dating.'

'I can do that.' as he hopped over the railing for the locker room.

'What was that all about?' Ron asked as he came over.

'I'm going out on a date with Draco. And if you say one word against it Ron so help me I will hex your bullocks off.'

'But Mione…'

'Ron I saw you over there talking to all of those… fan girls and if you are dating me you would have to remain faithful, no kissing, no touching and definitely no shagging. So are you ready to remain faithful?' Ron sputtered at the thought of losing all of those names. 'I didn't think so, so just be happy for me and I will be happy for you. Now go shower you three smell.' as she pushed them towards the locker rooms.

~o~

'So where are we going?' Hermione asked as Draco joined her outside of the locker room.

'Well how about the Florean Fortescue's Ice Cream Parlor? '

'Um, some cherry chip sounds good.' As they apparated over and where seated. 'So what are the differences?'

'Well dating in the wizarding world is a… for right now, courting is … has final destination… marriage.'

'Marriage?'

'Yes, if you ask to court you are planning to ask for her hand with in six months.'

'Draco how can you even entertain the idea of courting me? I'm a mud...'

'You are a smart, beautiful muggle born witch and I would be stupid to pass up the chance to marry you. Unless you still hold feeling for Weaselbe?'

'No I don't he has his … what are they called pitch lizards?' getting a nod from him, 'But you always hated me.'

'No, not hated just jealous of you, the yule ball you were gorgeous I was so mad I couldn't ask you to the ball myself.'

'But your parents?'

'Um, surprisingly father has changed. Mother will be fine with it if I'm happy.'

'Um, can we start out just dating? I don't want to tie you down with a promise you might not want to keep.'

'Why would I not, you're beautiful, smart and you will hex me if needed without even thinking about it. Mother will love it, I step out of line and you send me a stinging jinx, she might even provoke it just to watch me squirm.'

'Draco.'

'What it's true, Mother would do it just to watch you jinx me. Are you going to be ok with my friends? I don't have to hang around them as much but…'

'Yea, you will still visit with them and I will give them a chance, but if not I can stay home those nights. but what about mine?'

'Well Harry and I are on ok terms, Weaslette she still bristles at me but most of the time she fine. It's just Weaselbe that can't stand me, he just won't let the past go. I can ignore him, I promise I won't hex him for the fun of it anymore, but if he starts something…'

'I will finish it. If you are serious about our future I will set him straight, the rest of the family will be fine with it if I am happy.'

'So I have to make you happy? Um, full access to the Malfoy library, unlimited shopping sprees...'

'Oi, I'm not all about the money Draco.' as she tried to slap his arm.

'Oi, you didn't let me finish… shopping sprees at the best book shops around the world.'

Oh, I could go for that, even if the sex was horrid.'

'Oh, could you now?' as he pulled her in for a kiss.

'Um, that was nice, the sex might even be better?'

'Might be? Really? If I wasn't a gentleman, I would apparate back to my bed room and shag you senseless.'

'Really a gentleman and senseless? You are quite sure of yourself?'

'If you only knew.'

'Well, I guess you have something to strive for.' as she got up to leave.

'Oh really?'

'Yes, I'm not going to let just any second string seeker fall into my bed so easily. You will have to prove yourself.'

'Oh, just a second string, so… what is it going to take?'

'Well let's see… you promised books… food… maybe a day trip to… blackpool beach for a day.'

'Blackpool beach that's just some… I can take you to the pristine beaches of Greece?'

'Yes, you could, but the fun is being in a small touristy town it brings back good memories for me and hopefully make new ones for you?'

'Oh, ok I will take you anywhere you want to go. If you teach me… I will cook you dinner. Go to those muggle moving pictures.'

~o~

'Hey, I need to go Harry took a bludger to the shoulder.' as he kissed Hermione good bye as they ran down the stairs from the family room, to find Harry nursing an ice pack on his shoulder.

'Hey, watch the beaters they are out for blood today, whoever wins goes to the finals. So be careful and get the snitch.' Harry smiled.

'Right Potter, let me take care of this for ya.' Draco smiled and mounted his broom to warm up. Hermione walked over to the sideline.

'Hey, bet you can't catch the snitch in the first hour.' Hermione grinned, as the coach called for a substitution.

'And what do I get if I do?'

'You get a kiss.'

'Out here in public?' she nodded. 'Well then you need to get those lips warmed up.' He kicked off the ground with force and a mission. Fifty-eight minutes later Draco flew to the sideline to claim his prize, he pulled Hermione up to sit side saddle on his broom as he flew around the pitch kissing Hermione and holding up the snitch, as they landed next to the celebrating team.

'Well Ms. Granger I might just let you down on the sideline and bet him every time he plays.' the coach joked. 'Too bad that won't work for Potter.' he chuckled.

'Oh, steal my thunder. Good job there Draco, I was hoping you would get it done and not take another four hours.' Harry smiled, he was just glad it was over, four hours on the broom was ruff.

'I had a good incentive.' as he pulled Hermione into another kiss.

'Oi, I just said one.' As she smiled and kissed him back as he started to pout. Everybody laughed at Draco's pouting face.

'So do you have something to offer him if he helps win the finals?' Harry asked. The whole team quieted to hear her answer.

'Um yea I have a few things he might just out play you for.' She gave Harry a wicked grin.

'Oh, Harry we might just scratch you and let Malfoy win it for us.' one of the team members shouted.

'Nope, Harry has to start and only if he was to get struck by a bludger and not be able to continue can Draco play. I'm not taking Harry's thunder.' She pulled Harry into a hug. 'And maybe Ginny has a prize worthy of him winning it for you.'

~o~

'Hey, I'm going for a jog want to come?'

'Um, I will walk as you run.' as they apparated to the practice field.

'Why not?'

'You try jogging with these.' as she looked down to her breasts.

'Oh use that as an excuse? Really?' he smiled.

'Fine you try them out.' As she mumbled something, and Draco's chest grew. 'Now you go run with those.'

'Fine, I will.' As he took off, he was soon back. 'Oi, that's not fair you didn't give me a bra.'

'I did but try this.' As she tapped his shoulder and the bra changed to a sports bra.

'Oi, this is weird.' as he wiggled to get things in place. 'It feels tight.'

'Yea, so we don't get black eyes. Get running and see why we hate to run.' She giggled at his reaction.

'Fine, you're right how in merlins…' Draco conceded. 'These things are fun to play with, but I wouldn't want them on me.'

'So, I will walk and you can jog around and if you're good I might just give you a kiss when you come around.'

'Promise?' as he took off. 'See you in a minute.

~o~

Draco was requested to dress just in case for the finals, they were working on six hours, they had swapped out a few times to let Harry rest. 'Oh Tinker?' as a house elf popped into the family box. 'Can you take this down to the coach and tell him to give this to Draco when he is ready for this to be over with.' As Hermione handed Tinker a note. 'And he can read it if he wants to.' Tinker nodded and popped out. Hermione could see her hand the note to the coach, he read the note and looked up to Hermione and nodded. He called for a substitution and handed the note to Draco, who quickly read it, smiled and tucked it into his shirt and took off.

'Well, I think Malfoy just got his bet, for those of you that don't know his girlfriend made a bet with him last week, let's see if he can win this one too.' The announcer said over the loudspeaker. 'Well ladies and gentlemen the Wimborne Wasps have won the Quidditch Finals. Thank you, Draco Malfoy, for catching the snitch our bums were going to sleep. So, what did he get with this bet? Well, I can see him up in the family box getting a very steamy kiss.'

'So, we are courting now?'

'Well, you do have to still ask me.' as he dropped to his knee.

'Will you let me court you?' she nodded yes and pulled him into a kiss.

'Ladies and gentlemen, our correspondent in the family box has just reported Hermione Granger and Draco Malfoy are now officially courting.' Cheers went up around them.

'So, who's pants are coming off?' He pulled back long enough to whisper in her ear.

'Well, I probably think you might be over wanking in the shower?'

'Oh, merlins, Kitten you just made my day.'

'Oh, just steal Harry's thunder again?' Ginny sniped right behind them.

'Nope, I know Harry did his best, but if you had given Harry a little extra incentive for a win. Draco has been asking me for weeks now to court him, so he had a very good reason to fight for a win and I think Harry tired their seeker out for Draco.'

'Ginny I just got lucky, as Hermione said Harry tired them out for me. We all played our hardest, we all deserve that win, so just go and enjoy the party.' Draco snarled.

'I think I'm ready to leave, how about you? I like the flashing pants on the note, a fancy little charm there.' He smiled down at Hermione.

'Yea, let's go, I think this is going to turn into a slosh fest and I can think of better things to do.' as her eyebrows wiggled. 'You need your rest as you will be packing up your things in the morning.' Draco gave her a quizzical look. 'Well as we are courting, I would think you would want to move in with me but if you're not ready we can wait.'

'Oh no,' as he pulled her into a spin. 'I will gladly pack my stuff up tonight if I can sleep with you tonight.'

'Ok,'

'Ok, you mean it I can move in tonight?' she nodded. 'Darby,' as a house elf popped into the room. 'Can you please go to the manor and pack all of my clothes and necessities and take them over to Ms. Granger's house?'

'Yes master, Darby will get it done tonight.' as he popped out of the room.

'Um, a little antsy?'

'Well, I do sleep better with you in my arms, my back might not like the sofa, but the dreams are far and few in between.'

'Oh, me too, the dreams that is. I kind of like that sofa for naps.' She grinned at him.

'Well, you are short, so you fit just perfect, now don't you?'

'You should have said something we could have charmed it a little longer.'

'Hey, I was just happy to be curled up beside you I was willing to suffer.'
