Chapter 2

Back in the common room a few days later, Hermione was finishing an essay for History of Magic when she heard raised voices in the corridor. It sounded like Ron, Harry, The Fat Lady, and Draco so she went to investigate. "WHAT IS GOING ON HERE???"

"Oh hey Hermione." They all said at once

"Hermione," Draco asked being very polite "would you like to go to Hogsmeade with me tomorrow? After all it is the second last Hogsmeade weekend before Christmas."

"Sure Draco I'd love to come to Hogsmeade with you." Said Hermione fully aware that she was blushing "The 3 Broomsticks at 11am then?"

"Sounds fantastic" said Draco "See you then."

The boys were fascinated and totally confused but Hermione had gone back to her essay before they could ask her about it, they had learned the hard way years ago that when Hermione was working you didn't interrupt. It was because of this that they resolved to ask at dinner.

At dinner that night they asked point blank "Are you going out with, Malfoy?"

Hermione answered very calmly "Don't be ridiculous he probably wants to ask me about an assignment or something."

They went to bed that night dumbfounded, Hermione hated Draco and vice versa.

"Harry," Ron whispered "I think that we should watch Hermione and Draco's "date" from a safe distance tomorrow, that way we can step in if anything goes wrong."

"Ron she specifically told us not to interfere, if we spy on them we'll never see Christmas, Hermione will kill us if she finds out besides she can take care of herself."

Back in the girl's dormitory Hermione couldn't wait for the morning, she lay awake in bed wondering what she would wear on a first date but eventually exhaustion consumed her and she dropped off.

She woke at 9am the next day and readied herself for her date. She donned her blue jeans and a white long sleeved top, along with her black jacket with matching gloves and hat and her Gryffindor scarf and went down to breakfast. Immediately after breakfast they left for Hogsmeade it seemed as though the entire school was going. As arranged Hermione met Draco at the 3 Broomsticks at 11 am sharp.

"Hello Hermione, how are you?" Said Draco coming up behind her

"Fine thanks Draco and you?" she said turning to face him.

Just fine, Shall we go in then?"

"Yes Draco I think we shall." And they tried to move to go inside but they were stuck to the ground. They both looked up and rolled their eyes. "Mistletoe," they groaned. It seems as though they had no choice but to kiss because they were rooted to the spot. So they leaned in and kissed and then proceeded inside. It had been perfectly timed because anyone watching them kiss would realize they were rooted to the ground by the mistletoe until they kissed. They went into the 3 Broomsticks and ordered Butterbeers all the while perfectly aware that everyone was staring at them. They sat and drank their butterbeers and then they went to Honeydukes which was just down the street. After Draco treated Hermione at Honeydukes they went to the place that overlooks the Shrieking Shack and then Harry, Ron and Ginny spotted them.
