Hey Guys! Back with the next chapter :) Please comment!

Once Draco and Hermione reached Diagon Alley, the blonde immediately muttered obscuro. A black cloth blinded Hermione, and Hermione gave a short yelp. "What the- " She said. "Hey! Calm down! I'm not going to eat you. It's just a surprise. I'll guide you, and you just walk," Draco said. Draco led Hermione cautiously. "Draco! Where are we going?" Hermione whined. "Patience Hermione, patience," Draco chuckled. Hermione was really impatient. Every 30sec she would ask where they are, or where they were going or ask Draco to remove the blindfold. 

At last, they reached. Draco took a deep breath and then removed the blindfold with a simple finite incantatem. Hermione gasped as the blindfold was removed. Draco had brought her to one of the most expensive wizarding restaurants of all time- Madame Rochère. "Welcome to Diagon Alley's best restaurant- Madame Rochère," Draco said, grinning. "Draco, you shouldn't have! It's too much. I mean this place costs a fortune!" the brunette said. Draco rolled his eyes. "Clearly, you have never seen the Malfoy Vaults, Hermione," Draco said, taking her arm and guiding her up the steps. 

The restaurant was amazing. There was a huge chandelier in the middle and each table had a mini chandelier with dimmed lights above them. The walls were beautiful, made of clear glass with sparkly things in there, something Hermione kept in her mind to ask Draco about later. Each table had a bunch of red roses, with candles and cutlery. "Where are we going?" Hermione asked, as Draco led her to the end of the room and pulled out his wand. "We have a reservation in the upper suit. Only a few wizarding families are allowed there. I had a friend who owed me a debt, a life debt mind you, so I used that and asked him to get me a reservation for two up there." Draco said and then whispered a spell that Hermione didn't recognize. Immediately, the wall disappeared and a beautiful lady stepped out. "Welcome to Madame Rochère. Your dinner awaits you. Please follow me, I will lead you to your table," the lady said. 

Draco and Hermione followed the lady and found themselves on the roof. But instead of the afternoon sun that Hermione had expected, they were looking at the night sky, full of shining stars and a beautiful moon. There was a table just with just two candles and rose petals were scattered around the table. Once the lady left them, Hermione ran to Draco and hugged him tightly. Draco was shocked at this reaction, but hugged her back. "Draco, this is beautiful! You said that we were going to Hogsmede...Why are we in Diagon Alley?" Hermione asked as she sat down. "Well, I thought that as this is our first date, it should be something special...So I asked McGonagall for permission to take you to Diagon Alley, for educational purposes only, of course," Draco said the last words with quoting action in his hands. "And she believed you?" Hermione said, astonished. "Er...I'm not sure if she believed me or not, but she did give me permission, provided that we go back to Hogwarts by 6." Draco said sheepishly. Hermione laughed at this and nodded. "Well, what do you want to order?" Draco asked the smiling brunette. "Since this is a french restaurant, maybe I'll order something french," Hermione said. "They make all kinds of food here. You don't have to go for french" Draco informed her. "I know, but I would like to try french today," Hermione said, looking at her menu. "Okay...I'll be having pasta," Draco said. "Hmm...I'll have either Soupe à l'oignon or Coq au vin," Hermione said. Hermione stared at the two dishes. She quickly made up her mind. "I'll have the Coq au vin," the brunette said. "Okay, shall we have some wine?" Draco asked nervously. He knew that Hermione didn't like to drink if the next day was a school day. "Um...I normally would say no, but today I'll make an exception," Hermione said. "Okay then, I have the perfect wine," the blond said. "Draco, how do we order? There's no one here..." Hermione asked, looking around. "I'll show you," Draco said and tapped the Chardonnay wine in the wine section twice. Immediately, a bottle of Chardonnay wine and two wine glasses appeared on the table. Hermione jumped, nearly upsetting the table. "What the- " She said, alarmed. Draco laughed at this reaction. "You just tap whatever you want from the menu twice and it will appear on the table," Draco said, still laughing. Hermione pouted. "Stop laughing...It's not funny," she said, trying very hard to hold back her smile. "Sorry! I just couldn't help it," Draco said, trying to control. Hermione couldn't hold it back any longer. She too burst out laughing. Seeing her laugh, Draco started laughing again. After a good 2min of laughter, the two of them calmed down. 

Hermione tapped the Coq au Vin twice on the menu and it appeared on the table. "Wow," she sighed. "This is so magical," "Yes, yes it is," the blond said, smiling. They both ate in silence. But this was a very comfortable silence. After they had both finished, they made their way to the counter. "Let me pay at least my share," Hermione said. "Nope, no can do. I'm paying. This is my treat for you." Draco said shaking his head. "I want to pay Draco!" she said indignantly. Draco just shook his head again and asked the lady for the bill. "That will be 10000 galleons, Mr.Malfoy," she said. Hermione gasped. 10000 galleons! Draco simply nodded and said, "Take it from the Malfoy Vault, Sierra. And thank you," Draco said, pulling a  very shocked and evidently angry Hermione before she could say anything. Once they were outside, Hermione burst. "Draco! That was too costly! 10000 galleons!" Hermione said. "Hermione, the Malfoys have 10 vaults! Ten! Three of them are filled with jewels and the rest of them are filled with money right up to your neck. 10000 galleons won't even be missed there," he said, trying to calm the brunette down. "7 vaults full of money?" Hermione asked shocked. "Yep," he said before adding, "If we eat here every day for the rest of our lives it would only cost 1 vault and I would still have 6 vaults of money, so calm down," Draco said. "But still, in my eyes, this place is way too overpriced," Hermione said. "Well, I can't do anything about that now can I?" Draco said. "It's still 4 now. Would you like to take a walk?" Draco asked before Hermione said anything else about the price. "A walk would be nice..." Hermione said. She still was upset about the fact that Draco had taken her to such an expensive place, but she was happy. 

"So where should we go for a walk?" Draco asked. Hermione bit her lip. She knew the perfect spot, but it was outside Diagon Alley. True, it was just opposite Diagon Alley, but it would still be betraying McGonagall's trust. "I know a lake right across Diagon Alley, but in the Muggle World. It's a great place, but we can't go there," Hermione said. "Yes, that wouldn't be fair to McGonagall. She has already given us permission to come to Diagon Alley," Draco said. "Why don't we head back to Hogwarts, and take a walk around the black lake?" Draco suggested. Hermione's eyes lit up. "Yes, that would be great!" She said. Draco smiled and held out his arm. Hermione took it and Draco apparated them back to Hogwarts.
