The next morning, Hermione stretched languidly as she awoke.
She smoothed her hands over the Egyptian cotton and smiled.
I might have to steal
these… she thought.
The dinner had been spectacular. La Scala had served some of
the best Italian food she ever ate. The establishment was something straight
out of the forties, large and multi storied with a dance floor and stage with
live music in the center. Lucius ordered for them of course: Caesar Salad,
Chicken Marsala with Three Cheese Tortellini, and Tiramisu for dessert. When
they had finished, Lucius purposefully left her alone at the table and traveled
to the bar to chat up a lovely raven-haired woman. They had chosen to sit on
the lower level right in front of the dance floor and Hermione watched the
couples dancing slowly to the bright music from the band on the stage.
Soon, a young man that had been dining next to them,
came over and tapped her on the shoulder.
“Excuse me miss…I couldn’t help but notice your date leave
you to talk to that woman over there. Would you care for some company?”
She had smiled and invited him to sit with her.
They had great conversation, after explaining that Lucius
was only her friend and not her date. She even got a few dances. The last
dance, before hell broke loose, had Hermione smiling to herself.
Lucius had finally been dragged to the dance floor by some
blonde beauty, who seemed a bit too tipsy to dance. Lucius was struggling to
keep her from stepping on his feet.
She couldn’t stop her laughter and the feeling that she
hadn’t been this happy in months. This had been a wonderful idea and lots of
innocent fun. Will, her dance partner at the moment, just smiled and tried to
move his hands a little lower. Just as they grazed her bum, flash bulbs popped
and Hermione snapped her head towards the commotion. She was met with more
flashbulbs before the photographers were skittering away with expressions of
fear on their faces, followed by an angry Lucius Malfoy.
“Hermione, are you alright?” Will asked.
“Um…I…yeah…what was…”she stammered, still in shock.
She looked to her right to see Lucius, looking murderous,
walking back inside.
“Umm, thank you for the wonderful dances Will but I think
its time for me to go.”
“I understand. Hey, can I see you again sometime?”
She scrunched her brow a moment in thought.
“I’d like that. Um, I work at the ministry in the Magical
Artifacts division. Just drop me a line there or something and we’ll see what we
can work out.”
“Alright. Goodnight.” He kissed her hand and walked over to
the bar and caught the bartender’s attention.
Hermione met Lucius at the front desk.
“What was that Lucius?”
“Rita Skeeter is what that was. Those were her
photographers.”
“Oh Bollocks! That nosy little...” Hermione sighed.
“Well, it could have been worse. It could have been you
dancing with me which would have fed the rumors of you dating me.”
She waved her hand at him dismissingly.
“I don’t really care what people think anyway. They all had
plenty to say when I left Ron so I have developed somewhat of a thick skin. Plus,
what girl wouldn’t want people to think that a rich and powerful pureblooded
wizard such as yourself had designs on her? Especially if said girl was a
half-blooded girl such as myself? Why the scandal would be legendary….”she said
with a smirk.
“Ah stroking my ego are you?”
“Well as my boss it would be improper to be stroking
anything else.” She said with a purr.
Lucius looked at her in shock, opening his mouth as if to
say something in retort but closing it when nothing would come out.
Hermione grinned evilly before she turned to face the front
desk counter.
“Well anyway, that nosy beetle knows better than to write
anything too salacious about me if she values her career and her freedom.” She
then turned back to Lucius before taking his arm.
“Lets get out of here.”
He nodded and they walked out to the valet to wait for the
car.
As soon as they were in the car and on the road Hermione
burst into laughter.
She clutched at her sides as Lucius looked at her like she
was crazy.
“Are you drunk?” he asked.
“What? Oh no, no. Look, I have to tell you something but I
need a wizard’s oath from you that you will tell no one.”
He nodded and said the spell, pledging his silence.
“Alright, Rita is an unregistered Animagus. When I said she
is a nosy beetle, I wasn’t just being sarcastic. Rita is a beetle and she was
sitting on the counter-top listening to our conversation.”
“Ah, so that’s what that was all about. For a second there I
thought...”
”That I was making a subtle pass at you? Oh, that was just a little show for
her. Since she knows that I knew she was there, she wouldn’t dare print it. I
found out what she was back in the school days and she understands that I will
turn her in to the ministry for being unregistered. She wouldn’t risk her
career.”
“Well, it’s a little early still. Would you care for a
nightcap and we can discuss your dance partner?”
”That would be nice. I’m sure you have a nice Cognac?”
“But of course. I have Louis XIII if you like that?”
“Perfect.”
They had talked about both of their experiences. She about
Will and he about Marissa and the blonde drunk Kari. Before long the clock was
showing 2 a.m. Hermione yawned.
“Wow, its late and I think I’ve had too much Cognac.
It always makes me sleepy.” She yawned again.
Lucius put down his snifter.
“Tipsy!” he called softly, chuckling at the irony of his
elf’s name.
A small pop was heard as a small house elf came into the
room.
“Master?”
“Please prepare Miss Granger one of the guest rooms. She
will be staying the night.”
“Yes sir. Of course.” Replied Tipsy before popping out of
the room.
Lucius stood and took Hermione’s glass and set it on the
side table.
“Come, lets get you to bed.”
”Hmm? Oh, I can go home Luciussss…I can umm floo…yes floo.”she spoke lazily,
taking his hand and letting him pull her up.
“I’m fine…really…I’m..”she tried to speak before losing her
footing and falling into the arms of Lucius.
“Ooops…hehe…sorry.”
“You aren’t fit to floo anywhere. You are staying here.”
“Alright…maybe I’m a little tipsy…”
Just then Tipsy arrived.
“Master, the room is a ready.”
“Thank you. Which is it?”
”Next to Master Draco’s old room sir.”
“That will be all Tipsy, thank you.”
”Hey...Im tipsy too.”
”yes Tipsy lets go.” He stooped over and caught her up into his arms before
apparating into the bedroom.
“Wow..next time warn a girl……hmmm…you do have such pretty hair.”
she said as she ran her hands through his tresses.
He chuckled as he laid her on the bed. He removed her shoes
and then pulled out his wand, transfiguring her dress into a black nightgown.
He then pulled the covers over her. Lastly he reached up to remove the few pins
she had placed in her hair.
“You hair is pretty too.” He spoke softly and she smiled as
he ran his fingers through it.
“Night Lucius. Thank you.”
“Goodnight Hermione.”
He gave her one last look before apparating to his own
bedroom.
