September 1(year 5)
"NO!!"I dropped all my books and, I was already running 5 minutes late!A hand grabbed my books and dropped them in my bag.I looked up abruptly to see who had helped me. His grey eyes looked intensely into mine. I blushed and muttered a "thanks" and walked off.
December 21(year 5)
"Merry Christmas," I said to him.His white-blond hair looked like the snow.I gave him a little gift and walked off. The next day he gave me a small thank you card in return with a snake necklace. Later that night, I found a note attached to the necklace."When you're in trouble".
December 10(year 6)
We shared one dance together at Professor Slughorn's Christmas party. We talked for a bit and he told me a secret. He said that he was a death eater and his mission was to kill Dumbledore but, he didn't want to kill him. I never told anyone. Not even Harry.
The Hogwarts Battle(year 7)
He told me he didn't want to be a bad guy anymore. He helped our side in the battle. A death eater attached me. I threw my snake necklace at him. I didn't think anything would happen.My snake necklace turned into a live snake and killed the death eater. I turned around to thank him. He was nowhere to be found.
Present Day(1 1/2 years after the battle)
"Did we capture all the death eaters?"I asked. Harry shook his head."Almost. Everyone but, Draco and his mother."Harry sighed."I hope Draco's okay.He wasn't a bad guy."I stare at Harry and smile. He has changed so much from the first day of school in our first year. He would have never called Draco a nice guy. He's grown about 2 feet(still shorter then Neville) and is the best Auror ever.
"What are you thinking about, Hermione?" He plays with my hair."You are always working so hard.You should take a break."
"Look at you. You work long hours and have captured almost all the death eaters.You never stop working."
"I take breaks," he says defensively."With Ginny". I roll my eyes but, smile. He and Ginny have been dating for about 3 1/2 years. They started dating in the sixth year but, kinda stopped dating in 7 years because Harry was super busy.I mean not that busy because he sent her a birthday gift and Valentines gift. I'm happy their finally together.
"How about you date Neville ?".
"Clueless, he's dating Luna."
"Oh, right". Harry thinks a bit."How about Seamus ?" I shrug."Seamus is funny and nice but......not exactly my type". I sigh.
"Harry James Potter, I'm sure you have other things to do than sort out my love life". Harry laughs and nods his head.
"Fine, I'll get back to work.Maybe you and Ginny need to talk.I heard she gives good love advice.She has this amazing boyfriend who, by the way, is super hot." Harry smiles.
"Oh really!!Well, you should tell Ginny's boyfriend he needs to get back to work and stop gloating about himself". Harry smiles.He kisses my nose and walks off. I sigh again. I really do need to hang out and relax.I haven't really relaxed since before the war.
Later that night(7:00)
Hmm. Was I in the mood for Italian food or something else....? I missed hanging out with Harry but, these days he was always so busy with work or with Ginny(of course I always loved when he spent time with Ginny).
The new Italian restaurant was tempting so, I decided to give it a try."How many" the server asked."One" I answered. I was showed to a table with two seats(I guess they don't make one person table) and was given a menu.
I knew that voice. I couldn't hear what the person was saying but, the voice rang a bell. I stood up and peaked around.And there he was. Draco Malfoy. Sitting at a table with Pansy. He looked the same but, more tired.The war had a tole on everyone. Pansy looked the same but, she looked happier if that was possible. Should I go to his table and awkwardly say hello?NO!! That sounded like a terrible idea but, I had missed him. He didn't seem to miss me though.
"Madame, will you please sit down so you can order". I smiled briefly. "Sorry but, I need to go. My best friend .... needs me now for... um and emergency". I had always been a bad liar and the man seemed skeptical but didn't push me further.
I quickly walked passed Draco's table hoping he wouldn't notice me but, he did. Draco noticed everything."Hermione Granger" Draco called out.I promised myself I wouldn't turn around and interrupt his dinner with Pansy. But I did.
"Draco. Wow. I didn't see you there" I lied through my teeth. He didn't seem to buy my lie.
"Really?You were two tables down."
I sighed internally. "Oh well, I guess I was daydreaming".
"Weren't you going to leave". Pansy spoke to me for the first time. She actually had changed. She seemed to wear more makeup than usual and was wearing fancy clothes from probably Paris. Her hair was still short but, she had definitely grown. "I was about to leave, you see...".
Draco eyes met mine."Please stay. Our dinner should be arriving soon.We need to catch up.It has been very long". One year and a half to be exact but, I looked over at Pansy. She smiled at me a bit. Maybe she had changed more than I noticed."We would love if you could saty".
I smiled briefly.It was only 7:30 .......maybe just for a bit.........
