Hey hey everyone! I figured that since I have a couple extra mintues before I need to get ready for my Trace Adkins concert, I would be able to post the next chapter. So this is a continuation of the same day, but most of the date. The next chapter will be the ending of the date. I had to break it up into 3 chapters but I assure you it will be worth it. They are getting to no more about each other in this chapter. It's been a while since they actually sat down and had a normal conversation that is just between them. As always responce to the review is at the bottom and let me know what you think about this chapter.
“I think you’re ready,” Ginny said as Hermione slowly turned.
After much discussion, she, Ginny, and Pansy all decided on Pansy’s cream colored tea dress. The top half was covered in rhinestones and went up to her neck, clasping behind. There was no back (which meant no bra), and the bottom half stopped just before her knees. If she were to spin, it would completely fan out. Hermione wore nude heels and her toes were painted cream. For her hair, they redefined her curls to be tight, bigger spirals and pulled the sides back with a clip. She wore the bracelet Narcissa had given her and the necklace Draco had presented her with at the ball. Hermione’s make-up was very subtle with just eyeliner and mascara.
“It’s time,” Pansy said smiling. Ginny and Hermione smiled back and the three of them made their way downstairs.
“About time,” Blaise said as the girls entered the room. “You guys have been up there forever.”
“Perfection takes time, Blaise,” Pansy said as Theo made his way over. “What do you think?” she asked Theo as she moved out of the way.
“Wow, Hermione,” Theo said. “Draco’s going to love it.”
Hermione blushed. “Thanks.”
“Hermione, you look wonderful.” Harry said giving her a hug.
“Doesn’t she?” Ginny said grinning.
“Yes. We all agree that Hermione looks hot,” Blaise said as he slowly inched his way towards the portrait. “Now can we go? Food is calling me from the Three Broomsticks.”
“Alcohol is calling you, not food.” Hermione corrected.
“Yeah, yeah. Fine. Now let’s go.”
Theo, Pansy, and Harry gave Hermione hugs and smiles before making their way out of the portrait. Ginny and Hermione followed suit, but once they were outside the common room, Ginny turned to her.
“Almost forgot.” She waved her wand and produced a cream colored sash. “This is a surprise after all, so it was requested that you be blindfolded.”
“You’re kidding right?” Hermine asked in disbelief.
“’Fraid not. Now turn around.”
Hermione did what was asked, but continued to voice her opinion. “I can’t believe this. This is stupid. What’s the point in blindfolding me if I know the castle by heart anyway?”
“That is the point,” Ginny said quickly turning her around three times. “You know the whole castle so I’m not going to take the easy way to where we are going.”
Hermione huffed as she felt herself being spun a few more times. Once she was discombobulated, Ginny began leading her through the corridors.
“So have you guys had make-up sex yet?” Ginny asked as she led Hermione up some steps.
“No. He hasn’t earned it.” Hermione replied. “I did torture him a little bit last night by changing in front of him.”
“Ah. The ‘look but don’t touch’. You know you can turn the ‘enjoy but don’t touch’.”
“’Enjoy but don’t touch’?”
“Yes. Harry and I have tried it a few times.” As if sensing her confusion, Ginny gave her another clue. “We started out with sashes, but it still worked. It intensified the feelings.”
“You mean like bondage?!” Hermione squeaked.
“Shh. Not so loud, but yes.”
“I don’t know Ginny.” Hermione said skeptically.
Ginny laughed. “Just giving you a suggestion as a way to punish him. You don’t have to take it.”
Hermione continued to think about it as Ginny led her through the castle. When Ginny had stopped maneuvering her, she said. “If you’re going to try it, the spell is ‘Ceinture’.” When Ginny let go of her, Hermione heard a knock.
“Here she is.” Ginny said.
“Thank you, Ginny,” Hermione heard Draco say.
“Anytime. Hopefully we will see you in Hogsmead afterward.” Hermione felt Ginny pull her into a hug. “I’m going to want details because he hasn’t said anything to anyone about what he has planned for this date.”
Hermione smiled and said, “Bye Ginny.” As she heard Ginny walk away, she felt Draco take her hand.
“You look absolutely stunning.” He said leading her inside.
“Thank you. Wish I could return the compliment, but as I can’t see you that’s a little hard to do.”
“Oh, right.” Once Draco had removed the blindfold, Hermione saw before her a very romantic setting. She looked around and noticed a table set for two, lit by candles, and a love seat on a balcony that over looked trees and mountains. “The view is an illusion, but this is one of the greatest magical wine vineyards in Venetsanos, Greece.”
Hermione turned to him, a huge grin plastered all over her face. “It’s absolutely wonderful.” She pulled him in for a kiss before adding, “and you are rather dashing tonight.”
Draco smiled and held her close. “Would you like some wine?”
“Mmm, yes please.”
Draco took her hand and led her to the small table next to the balcony. He picked up the menu and asked “Red or white?”
“Surprise me,” Hermione replied.
“We will start with…Pinot Noir and Brie.” Draco closed his eyes for a moment. When he opened them, the wine and cheese had appeared on the table. “For you, my love.”
Hermione, who had yet to stop smiling, thanked him and said, “I had no idea the Room of Requirement could do all this.”
“Neither did I until I tried. I wanted this to be perfect since I was told I couldn’t buy you anything,” Draco said as he led her to the love seat that was just behind them so they could still enjoy the setting sun over the vineyard.
“Everything is absolutely wonderful, Draco.” Draco placed his arm over her shoulders as they continued to chit chat.
After the Brie was gone, about fifteen minutes later, Draco took her hand and led her to the table.
“Sadly, our main course was very limited, but I convinced the house elf, Winky, who is very fond of you by the way, to help me out with some lobster, followed by shrimp scampi, ending with some Butter and Herb scallops.” Draco pulled out her chair and placed her napkin in her lap once she sat down.
“Is there a different wine for each dish?” Hermione asked as she picked up the new glass in front of her.
“Yes, this one is Pinot Grigio,” Draco said as he set his glass down.
Hermione began cutting off a bite of her lobster when she asked, “Question eleven – how do you know so much about wines?”
Draco finished chewing and smiled. “My mother taught me. She insisted that I know simple ways, as well as more extravagant ways, to impress women. One, because my father was an absolute dunderhead when it came to romance, and two because she really wanted me to make a good impression on my future wife.” Draco placed another piece of lobster in his mouth when he noticed that Hermione stopped moving mid sip and was staring at him. He finished chewing and said, “For when I was in arranged marriage. She didn’t know who I would by marrying, but that I had to make an impression.”
“Of course.” Hermione said as she continued eating.
“Question eleven – do you remember the first time you did accidental magic?”
Hermione smiled as she thought back to that night. “Yes. My parents had taken me to the movies and wouldn’t let me have any sweets. I was so mad. It was cold out so I had a jacket on. When we got to our seats, I went to take it off and found a box of chocolates in my pocket.”
“What did you do?” Draco questioned with a smile.
“What else? Hid them and quietly ate them while watching Who Framed Roger Rabbit.”
As they finished their main course, they discussed television and movies. Draco had heard about television, but had never actually seen one. After they had finished with all three dishes, they walked back to the balcony.
“Question twelve – how did you prepare for Hogwarts? Like who taught you to read and write?”
“Purebloods have tutors. We started learning the Pureblood ways at two.” They were both leaning against the railing and Draco had his arm around Hermione’s waist. “We started learning to read and write at age four.”
Hermione turned to him. “What do you mean ‘we’?”
“Theo, Blaise, Pansy, Daphne, Goyle, and Crabbe did lessons with me. We had to go to a different house each lesson.” Draco chuckled quietly. “We also had most books about Hogwarts read by the time we were ten.”
“Age ten? Wow.”
“It’s tradition.” Draco laughed. “Understanding how magic came to be, how to teach it, what to teach, etc.”
“I see. Makes sense.” Draco tucked a stray strand of hair behind her ear. Hermione grabbed his hand and held it to her face. “This night has been absolutely wonderful.”
Draco smiled. “The last thing is dessert.”
“Mmm…and what’s after dessert?” Hermione said as she lightly ran her fingers up his chest, causing his breath to hitch.
“Well,” Draco said with a gulp. “I was going to walk you back to you room, give you a goodnight kiss, and promise to see you in the morning. Unless you were thinking about completely forgiving me and letting me show you how sorry I truly am.”
The wine had already started to affect her long ago. Alcohol really made her horny. She thought back to what Ginny had told her before. “The thought did cross my mind, but it would be very rude of me to veer this perfect date off course,” she said with a twinkle in her eye. “What were you thinking for dessert?”
Ladyshire: Yes they are back together and that is where they are going to stay. As for my absence, I was playing the new Harry Potter game and was really wanting these last two and next couple chapters to be perfect. I can almost see how I'm going to end this story but that's still a lobg way off. After these next few chapters, I will be diving into Christmas with them and I'm hoping I can do my thoughts (and of course my readers) justice with it. I don't plan to go so long without updating again. I promise.
