Annabeth's POV

I was excited for the "date" i would finally get to know Draco. I would be lying if I said I bever found him interesting. ever since I saw I knew there was something about him. All those years of torment did get me annoyed. But I think I enjoyed that in one because it never felt like he meant any of that.

I was in the library and it was 6 o' clock. I put down the book on dark arts. Luscius did say that out training began tomorrow morning itself. Me being me i had to prepare for a class long before it started.
I went to my room and found a package on the bed

Dear Annie,

Wear this outfit for our dinner.

P.S Dont wear any accessories. ( wink, wink)

I placed the card down and opened the package. I have to admit Draco haas great taste. It was a black full selves dress. I loved it. The simplicity of it made me love it more. I layed the dress out on the bed and went for a shower. The dress fit me like a second skin. How he knew my size I was surprised. I dried my hair and let it fall into it's natural curls. I applied foundation and chap stick and a little blush. I decided to wear my thigh length boots with the outfit. I looked int the mirror and I felt good. I looked good. I got my wand and walked towards the garden. luckily I met no one since I left the dining room. They probably decided to give me my space. I really didn't want answer their questions right now.

I walked towards the garden, where we sitting yesterday. Draco was staring at the sky, his back turned to me. I walled towards him, and sneakily whispered boo in his ear.

Seeing him jump was great. It was absolutely hilarious. The look on his face was priceless.

"Blimey hell was a that for Annie!?"

" Sorry I couldn't resist that! It was too tempting!"

He laughed. It was full of melody, letting out a laugh of my own. He got off the grass and dusted his suit. It was black suit with and elegant shade of turqouise. He looked up at me and smiled.

" you look beautiful tonight." He said

" You don't look too bad yourself" I said giving him a little push on the shoulder.

" I got you a little something."

He removed a box from the inside of his shirt.

"close your eyes Annie."

I followed his request.

Not a moment late I felt this really heavy metal fall against my chest.

I opened my eyes and saw this beautiful pendent rested on my chest. It was a sapphire pendent shaped like a tear drop.

" Draco this is beautiful!"

" I want you to wear this tonight."

" Of course I will"

I reach to give him a tight hug. He wraps his arms a round me.

" Grrrrr"

" What was that!" Draco exclaimed

" I am hungry."

" oh Annie, Lets go"

Draco raises his arms and waves at someone behind me. I turn to see a black Porsche arrive at the gate waiting for us. We walk towards the car hand in hand. as we sit in the car I ask Draco,

" So where are going to eat"

" You will like this place. It has everything you love."

I groan because of the mystery answer.

" Okay but my tummy is hungry"

" Alright Annie, We will be there soon. Don't worry."

The car stops and Draco and I get off. We are in the middle of a forest?

" dont judge on this. Come one."

I follow him into the woods, and then there is a clearing.

A B-E-A-U-T-I-F-U-L clearing. There were lanterns floating everywhere. There was a beautiful violin playing a soft melody. There was a picnic set up. It was perfect.

" Oh Draco... This is perfect thank you so much"

" Anything for you."

We sat down and we ate dumplings, drank some fire whisky and eat the different flavoured candies . They were amazing. I never had better dumplings in my entire life. But my conversation with Draco was even better. we spoke about our childhood. how it was different, the most memorable moments, and everything we missed about it. What we wished to become.

" wait so you jumped in the pond because you thought a fish was dying, and you believed that it was your sacred duty to save fish? And you had know idea that there was no fish in there."

" I was four and I had weird obsession with fish!"

I burst out laughing once again. clutching my stomach gasping for air.

" Stop it!" I couldn't even respond I was too busy laughing.

" Fine. you want to laugh. laugh. But don't forgot you brought this upon yourself"

Draco came on top of me and started tickling me. This definitely did not help my laughter to cool down. I ran out of breath and then Draco stopped.

His hands were placed on either side of my head. He supported himself up with his hands. We both realised the position we were in and he came and layed down beside me. We let a few moments pass in silence.

"It is a beautiful night isn't it?" he whispered into my ear

"It is a wonderful starry night."

"Thank you for coming with Annie. I had a great time with you."

" I can say the same. I am glad I came too. I have had a great time with you. "

"come on lets go home."

" Yeah. we should get going it is late" I let out a yawn. Draco and I get up and leave the clearing.

Draco's POV

Our date went perfect. We got to know each other as Annabeth and Draco. Like new people. As  if we didn't have the history we had. A new start. It was perfect. I loved every minute of my time with her. her laugh her voice her touch. I could feel the tingles everywhere throughout. It was pure bliss. It was addicting and I wanted more. She fell asleep in the car it self. I really hoped she felt and enjoyed the night as much as I did. I carried her to the room bridal style. I pushed her door open with my back and entered her room. I out her on her bed. I was about to leave but she didn't let go of my hand. 

" Don't go please." she murmured. 

Smiling, I lay beside her, stroking her hair. I shut the door using wandless magic and managed to changed into my boxers and fell asleep with her in my arms...

THIRD PERSON"S POV

I saw their car speed off back to the mansion. No doubt it was astonishing that the war heroine was hanging out with one of the most renowned death eater. Maybe they were right. Maybe another could arise. An after war war. Of coure there would be casualties and sacrifices. For a war to be won, there will be deaths.

(A/N: Hiya people! This chapter was hard to write. Took me forever to get Draco's part right. I am going to try to publish as often as I can. So how is your week going. Vote and comment if you like the chapter!)

PS: The dress is almost exactly what I thought it would be like except it is sleeveless and the boots are your normal calf length boots!
