Theo shifted himself off of her and onto his side while holding Hermione close. His breathing and his heart rate were slowly coming back down. He opened his eyes and found her Brown ones looking at him. He kissed her nose. "You ok?" He asked tenderly.
"A little more than ok, actually." She had a shy smile on her face as she whispered the words.
He couldn't help the smile that spread across his face. He let out a sigh and closed his eyes. That had been amazing. He just knew they would be good together and he was right. He had slept with his share of witches, but this one was special. It's not that Theo was a player or anything like that. He didn't use witches for sex, but he had slept with the ones he found attractive and interesting. It's just that he got bored with them after a few dates. But he knew he wouldn't get bored with this one and now that he knew they were sexually compatible as well, he felt he finally had found 'his' witch. The enormity of that notion brought a peace within himself that he didn't realize until this moment had been lacking. He looked back at her as a thought hit him. "Do you want me to cast a contraception charm. I didn't think of it til just now."
"Oh..yeah. I've been off the potion for a long time." Hermione was surprised at herself for not having thought about that.
Theo started to sit up and helped Hermione sit up as well. She started to fix her bra and reached down to pick up her dress. Theo stood and held his hand out to her. She took it and he pulled her up. He kissed her softly. There was an awkward silence as Theo picked up his jeans and pulled his wand out of his back pocket. He gave her a small smile as he waved the wand over her torso and whispered the spell. She felt a cool tingling sensation.
Theo stepped away and started gathering up his clothes. Hermione was slipping on her dress and felt like she should say something. "Theo." She was watching him and was feeling nervous all of a sudden. Her voice sounded shaky. Her insecurities were starting to overcome her as visions of him leaving and never looking her way again began to dominate her thoughts.
He heard the change in her voice and immediately turned to her. She looked uncertain, shy like and he could see she was questioning what had just happened. He quickly walked to her and grabbed her. "Hey, what's wrong?" He was concerned and didn't want her having doubts.
She looked up at him. "I..I don't do this, you know.. I don't sleep with wizards so early on in a relationship... If that's even what this is.."
He smiled at her. "Hermione, for such a bright witch you're being very obtuse. In case you haven't noticed, I'm crazy about you." He could see the tension and insecurity melt away from her face. He pulled her close and hugged her.
She whispered. "Will you stay with me tonight?"
Tuesday
Hermione woke up to her alarm and wanted nothing more than to call out sick. She had hardly slept as Theo had not only spent the night but they had spent a good part of the night repeating what had happened on the sofa earlier. She turned her face into her pillow to black out the morning light and reached over to touch Theo. She found nothing but a cool sheet and no warm Theo. She lifted her head and looked around but didn't see him. She groggily climbed out of bed and went to the loo. When she was finished, she headed out of the bedroom to the smell of bacon. She arrived to find a kitchen that had been completely cleaned from the night before as well as a very handsome wizard in only his jeans and no shirt magically cooking eggs, bacon and toast. Not only was he fixing breakfast for them but he had just finished putting a spoonful of egg and a few crumbles of bacon into Crookshank's dish. Crookshank rubbed up against his leg and then dug in. "Now that I have your approval, I'm all set." Theo whispered to Crookshanks, clearly not aware that Hermione was standing behind him.
Hermione giggled. "You've made you're bed and now you'll have to lie in it. You'll never eat in peace again."
Theo turned to her and smiled. She was shaking her head at him. "What's all this?"
"Just looking after my witch and making sure she gets a proper breakfast before heading off to work." He put a plate in front of her and then sat his plate next to hers. He sat down next to her and was pleased when she started to eat. Blaise's comment about how she was waisting away was a true observation. She was too thin. Se had barely eaten any dinner the night before. He chalked that up to first date nerves, but now he was going to look after her and make sure she was properly nourished.
She looked at him and grinned, "well, you've made your bed and now you'll have to lie in it. Crookshanks and I will both be expecting breakfast going forward." She bit a piece of bacon and giggled.
He leaned towards her and kissed her.
Theo left Hermione's flat and headed back to his own to find Blaise and Draco waiting for him in his living room. Seeing them triggered his memory about their plans. "Oh man.. I completely forgot!" His hair was a mess and his clothes were wrinkled.
Draco and Blaise exchanged looks. "Clearly." Draco said with irritation.
"Let me take a quick shower and I'll be ready in a flash."
20 minutes later they apparated to The Leaky Cauldron and headed into muggle London. They took the cab to the Dulwich and Sydenham Golf Club where they were scheduled for muggle golf lessons. Draco had learned that in conducting business with muggles, golf was very important. Many big deals and introductions were made during drinks and golf at various clubs throughout the world. Even though he had only dabbled in the muggle business world, there was a lot of potential to make a lot of money. He needed to learn to play golf well. He didn't care about winning. As a matter of fact, he had no intentions of winning any golf matches. His plan was to almost win and to be a worthy opponent so that when he lost, the CEO, business owner or other executive he lost to, would feel good about himself and therefore generous in his business dealings.
They had a one hour hitting lesson and then proceeded to a practice round of 9 holes. They had just finished the first hole and were about to tee off the second when Draco finally asked, "So Theo, who's the witch?" Theo knew this question was coming. He had been waiting for it all morning.
He was the first to tee this hole. He walked up and positioned his ball on the tee as Blaise and Draco watched. Theo could tell Draco was impatiently waiting for the answer to his question, Theo positioned himself and envisioned where the ball was going to go. He then swung and hit the ball and as he followed through his swing he replied, "Hermione Granger." For all his suave and poise, his dream shot didn't happen. It hit a tree, bounced off another tree and landed in a pond. It would have been perfect if he had said her name and hit a hole in one. Damn..
Draco and Blaise were stunned. "I knew it!." Draco said. "I knew it was more than just a couple shots of firewhiskey!"
Blaise responded, "what shots of firewhiskey? What the hell are you two talking about. Hermione Granger?"
Theo rolled his eyes and said with adulation, "Yes, Hermione Granger. Beautiful, smart, brave, vanquisher of dark wizards and slightly submissive sex goddess, Hermione Granger."
Draco and Blaise were speechless.
Meanwhile at the Ministry, Hermione's day was much like the day before. It dragged and she was thrilled when Harry stopped by to take her to lunch. They went to a little sandwich shop down the street from the ministry.
After they ordered, Harry stated, "So, I tried to floo to your place last night but the floo was blocked." He looked at her and continued. "Everything, Ok? Anything you want to tell me? In four years, I don't remember your floo ever being blocked."
She smiled. "I had a date, Harry."
Harry had a big smile. "And who was the lucky wizard? Was it a certain slytherin we discussed on Saturday?"
Hermione sighed. "Yes, Theo Nott came over for dinner last night."
"So how'd it go? Do you like him?"
She laughed at him. Harry was like a gossiping teenage girl sometimes. Hermione proceeded to tell Harry about the date, leaving out events that transpired after dinner, during the night and on the kitchen table that morning.
When golf was finished the wizards headed back to the Leaky Cauldron and decided to grab lunch. Draco had an afternoon meeting scheduled at the Ministry so they didn't have a lot of time. The Leaky Cauldron was packed so they headed towards the Ministry and popped into a sandwich shop that was known for it's roast beef.
They were waiting to be seated when Draco said, "Well, speak of the devil." Draco signaled toward the table in the corner where Harry and Hermione were standing up and putting on their outer robes. Theo and Blaise turned and saw the pair. Hermione saw Theo as she and Harry approached the door to exit.
She kept walking and approached the slytherins. Harry was standing behind her trying to ignore them. She took the high road and addressed them each individually this time. "Draco, Blaise,...Theo." When she got to Theo she smiled up at him.
He smiled back. "Hermione."
Harry coughed behind Hermione and said. "we, uhh, we better get back."
"Have a good lunch, gentlemen". She walked out into the street with Harry in tow.
The Hostess took the three to the same table Hermione and Harry had just vacated. The waiter swept in and started clearing the dirty plates away and wiping the table, but not before Theo noticed the large amount of sandwich left on what he assumed to be Hermione's plate.
The three sat down and quickly placed their order already knowing what they wanted.
Draco looked at Theo and asked, "Ok Mate. The shock has passed. Tell us.. What's the deal with Granger?"
Theo just shrugged. "I like her. She's not like other witches. She's exceptionally smart, well read, kind, loyal to a fault to her friends, ambitious, beautiful and, frankly, a lot of fun to be with."
Draco got the same twinge of uneasiness that he experienced on Sunday when Theo had talked about Hermione. Now that Theo had moved in on her, he suddenly realized that he might be a little jealous of Theo. It's not that he wasn't happy for his friend, and it wasn't that he did or didn't like Granger, per say... It was that Theo was able to land a woman like Granger. There was too much history and bad blood between himself and Hermione for him to ever pursue her, but he would like to find someone like her. Someone who was all the things Theo just said. Hermione was exceptional and Draco was smart enough to realize it.
Draco patted Theo on the shoulder, "Well, I'm happy for you, Mate. You'll have to bring her to my place sometime." He looked at Blaise. "We'll show her the slytherin charm."
Theo laughed, "it's a little soon to bring the cub into the snake pit."
"So, what's she going to do after she leaves the Ministry?" Blaise asked.
Theo replied. "Not sure. I tell you what though, her boss needs to get his head out of his ass because if her theory is correct, they need to be working on a solution and not burying their heads in the sand."
Draco thought about what Theo had just said with great interest. "What's her theory?"
Theo shook his head, "It's not my place to say. You'll have to ask her."
Draco decided to do just that.
