Lies and Love

Chapter 2

Hermione

She looked at the dress and heels lying on the bed in front of her. She could Owl him and tell him she isn't going, but the offer too make Ron jealous was too good to pass up. She undressed and pulled the green dress on , she hadn't worn anything like this since the wedding. 

It fit well, Draco had good taste. She slipped the black shoes on and looked at the time. 7.27. He should be here any minute. She put on light make up and her hair was loose around her face. The door bell rang as the time hit 7.30. She grabbed her purse and her phone, nearly tripping over her heels. She opened the door and he was standing there.

His head slightly tilted up to look at Hermione, his eyes widened and then looked up into her eyes.

"Ready to go Granger?" He held is arm out to her, she smiled and took his arm, again, being pulled into side lone apparation. 

They appeared out the front of a Wizard Restaurant, still holding onto to Draco, Hermione nearly fell over again.

"Tell me when we apparate next so that i can take my shoes off." She stumbled again, slowly regaining balance, grabbing hold of Draco to stop herself falling over, nearly dragging him down with her. 

"Sure thing, Granger, In here then." he gestured towards the door, opening it up for Hermione to walk in. Draco walked in behind her and they were greeted by a waiter.

They sat down in a corner table, with a view of the front window. The waiter put 2 menus in front of them, turning over the two wine glass and pouring wine.

"Um Malfoy we didn't order wine." She mumbled.

"I did before we came, don't worry Hermione i have a plan." He whispered

"You see, we have one or two glasses of wine, order an entree of garlic bread or calamari. After the press have found us and taken a picture, we apparate back to yours and get pizza, i have it all planned out." He continued.

Hermione simply shrugged her shoulders and smiled. 

"Fine by me, but could we get Garlic bread, my stomach doesn't fansy seafood." She asked.

"Fine by me." Draco gestured for the waiter. " A serve of garlic bread please."

"Sure, anything else?" the waiter asked.

"That's all thank you." he said turning back to Hermione.

" I sent in an 'anonymous' tip to The Daily Prophet about the whereabouts of me tonight so.....they should arrive any minute."

Hermione turned away from him and looked out the window, surely enough there was a women with a camera and another women with a quill and paper.

"They are here." Hermione whispered turning back to Draco.

"Granger, I am going to kiss you." He said, loud enough for anyone to hear. 

"You're going to wh-" She got cut off by Draco cupping the left side of her face and slamming his lips on hers. She started to kiss back when there was a flash, they pulled apart, Hermione's eyes wide open.

She hit him hard on the leg.

"Why did you do that." She hit him again on the leg .

"They got a picture, didn't they? Our plan has worked so now we can go home and enjoy Pizza, we will take the Garlic Bread to go please." he signalled the waiter and she picked up the plate and walked behind  register.

Hermione and Draco got up and followed the waitress who came from the back with garlic bread wrapped about in foil, she handed it to Draco who simply handed her a couple galleons. 

They walked out together when they were bombarded with flashes of light. Hermione felt a hand enclose around her wrist, pulling her away from the light. She started running when they came around a bend and Draco pulled her close, he put a finger to his mouth and shushed her. 

They looked back and saw many people run past them with camera's flashing in all directions. When they all passed they turned back to each and Hermione giggled and Draco smiled.

"You know, you should smile more often, it looks better than your smirk. " She giggled more.

"Let's get Pizza." he took her hand and they apparated to an Italian restaurant a couple blocks from Hermione's Apartment. 

"Wait outside, i will get the pizza." He walked inside and came out a few minutes later holding two large pizza boxes and a small tub of ice-cream. 

"oooooo, you got ice-cream." she grabbed the tub and took a look at the side.

" cookies and cream?! that's my favourite." 

They walked together to Hermione's apartment. She unlocked the door and they walked inside, Hermione grabbed two plates from her kitchen and set them down on the coffee table, Draco opened the two boxes and set two slices on each. 

They sat quietly eating their Pizza while watching a movie. 

"Tell me again, why you know all the songs to this movie." Draco mumbled with a mouth full of food.

"Because High School Musical is the best movie you will ever see, of course i know all the songs, to 1, 2 and 3." she said, almost spitting out some food. 

" It's cringy as hell, but the songs are catchy."He said putting his plate down and wiping his hands and the sides of his mouth with a cloth. He opened the freezer and grabbed  the ice-cream and two spoons, handing one to Hermione. Not even looking away from the movie, she grabbed the spoon and the tub of ice-cream away from Draco and started eating. 

By the time the movie had finished, Hermione was sitting with an empty tub of ice cream at her side, and two empty pizza boxes on the coffee table. When Draco looked over at Hermione, she was fast asleep cradling her spoon. 

He sighed before picking her up and walking towards the bedroom, he put her on the bed, closed the door and turned the lights out. And with that he left her Apartment, and apparated home. When he got home he lay down his bed, replaying the scenes from the day.

The kiss. It felt so perfect..... to him
