Wedding Shopping

Draco stood up from the couch, putting a pillow under the couch where his arm had been, he hadn't ment to fall asleep like that but it had just happened, the thing was he just felt so comfortable around Hermione.

She looks so cute when she's sleeping... Ughhh what am I think... I'm falling in love with Granger... Yet how am I supposed to get out of this engagement...? It's not as if my parents will let me just run of with Hermione, since I need to marry some 'pure' blood...

He rubbed his arms over his face in frustration, he knew he was falling in love with Hermione...

"D-draco"

Hermione yawned stretching her arms.

"Yes Hermione...?"

"Where are you going"

"To pick out a suit for my wedding and some stupid napkins and stuff!"

He laughed thinking how ridiculous this was.

"Draco... Is it possible for me to come I need to get out to get some fresh air"

"Sure as long as you are feeling better"

"Thank you, and yes I am feeling better"

Hermione half lied not making eye contact with Draco hoping he didn't notice, she did feel better... Just she still did feel a little bit sick.

"Astoria will also be there... So... I would prefer it you didn't tell her about u- I mean... You living in the same apartment at me..."

Draco blushed nervously scratching the back of his neck.

"Sure"

Hermione smiled before going of to change.

A few hours later and Hermione found herself sitting in a shop waiting as Astoria tried on dresses.

"Ughhh Draco, can we have ice cream after this, I'm really hungry "

Hermione laughed checking her watch.

"It's the middle of bloody winter Hermione!"

"And what's wrong I want ice cream"

She said rolling her eyes and pulling her phone out of her bag to play candy crush.

"What is that...!"

Draco asked shocked as she began playing.

"It is called candy crush... And it's a game on a phone"

"That's how muggles talk!"

Draco answered excitedly.

"Yes... And play games"

Hermione laughed gesturing for Draco to come closer for her to show him.

"Guyysssss... I picked out a dress "

Astoria walked out of the shop excitedly with a huge smile across her face.

"Oh... Ok, ice cream stop now "

Draco answered slightly disappointed he didn't get to find out about the Muggle game thingy.

"Yayyy"

Hermione laughed before the three of them stood up and made their way to the ice cream shop.

Once inside the three stood in line and Hermione ordered for them to save the embarrassment of them trying to work out Muggle money.

"So... Are you excited to get married?"

Hermione asked licking her bubble gum flavour ice cream, it wasn't her normal but she felt that she needed to get it.

"Mmmm... I guess"

Astoria answered looking down.

"I mean... The engagement is kinda arranged between out families... I don't really think of him that way, but our parent are making this happen..."

"Oh...!"

Hermione replied trying to hide her excitement, the fact that neither of them really wanted to marry each other was good news to her in a way... If only some how she could get Draco to stand up to his parents but she knew he would never do that.

"Yeh... Well anyway how are we all"

Astoria smiled trying to make a conversation to keep it from being good.

"Well you know I'm fine "

Draco laughed as he wiped a beard of chocolate ice cream away from his mouth.

"I'm goo-... Is there any bathrooms nearby?!"

Hermione answered urgently as she suddenly felt like she would throw up.

"Over there why?"

Astoria motion over to them but she didn't get a reply.

Hermione ran off as quickly as possible, and threw up in one of the toilet stalls...

"Are you ok?"

Astoria asked concerned about Hermione.

"Yeh... No... I don't know I just threw up again... I ate bad chicken the other day and I threw up... I guess I'm not 100% better or I have a cold"

Hermione flushed the toilet and walked out washing her hands.

"Oh ok then, I'll tell draco we need to get you home..."

"I'm sorry... Thank you"

Hermione smiled, or at least tried to.

"No need to be sorry, it's not your fault "

Astoria smiled. The three of them made their way home.
