Flames

Chapter 13 - Hermione's POV

I could kiss Draco forever, even if it meant feeling like I was on fire. Every time he touched me, I felt myself melting into his touch. Being with him was like a drug. When I was with him, the darkness stopped existing completely and I felt whole.

I pulled back for air and let him stand up. He kissed my cheek before walking back his side of the table.

I blushed as he watched me, "Since it's Saturday, and it's nice out, do you want to go on a date? We can go to muggle London so you're not seen with me" he asked.

I looked at him with wide eyes, "Malfoy I don't… I don't care if people see us together. Let them talk. We can go stand in the middle of Diagon Alley and scream that we're together if you want. You're… we're… well I don't know what we are yet but we're going on a date so fuck everyone else."

He looked at me with tears in his eyes, "You really don't care if you're seen with me?"

I shook my head.

He gave me a watery smile before clearing his throat and blinking his tears away, "Very well then! How about we keep it small and go to Hogsmead?"

"If that's where you're comfortable then okay" I responded back.

He nodded and cleared the table. I stood up to go to my room and get ready.

I looked through my closet as I decided what to wear. I couldn't wear short sleeves yet because of my scarring. The scars on my thighs were just as bad. That eliminated all my dresses and short sleeves. I decided to go with a tight fitting black tank top, a long, red, open cardigan, some light skinny jeans and some black sneakers. It wasn't much, but it would do.

I tamed my curls with a spell, applied some light make up and walked out of the room. He stood waiting for me. He wore a black sweater that made his gray eyes even lighter. His hair fell on his eyes slightly, only amplifying the fact that he was beautiful.

He smiled when he saw me, "You look nice" he told me sheepishly.

I smiled back, "So do you" I answered honestly.

We made our way down to the front entrance of the school before being stopped by Zabini.

He looked at us with a smirk, "So… where are you two off to?" he asked, knowingly.

Draco rolled his eyes, "We're on a date Zabini now go away. We're leaving."

He grabbed my wrist carefully and pulled me away from the interaction.

I could hear him mumbling to himself, "Stupid Blaise. Always in my business. Absolutely ridiculous. Can't even let me enjoy my date."

I tried to suppress a smile as I listened to him. Shortly after, we walked into town. I looked over at him and he looked nervous.
