23| Not A Date

Draco POV

I finally got to spend a whole day with her. But something wasn't right. I could sense that she was hiding something from me. She had never been so obedient before, though I had to admit that I felt somehow glad that she was willing to let me treat her way nicer for today.

I threw some jokes here and there on our way to Hogsmeade, just so I could hear her laugh and lighten her mood. I would surely make her happy and forget about any problem she hid from me today.

"Draco, are we going on a date?" She asked out of the blue.

How did she know? I tried my best not to make it sound that I was asking her on a date.

"Y/N..."

"No, right? There's no way this is considered as a date," she mumbled to herself.

Yeah, let's just keep it that way until I figured out how to get her to see me as simply a male, not a best friend.

I led her to Madam Puddifoot first because I knew how much she liked the place and food there. Her eyes lightened up as soon as we stepped into the tea shop. I scanned the place and found mostly couples were here, no wonder people suspected that we were dating after seeing us here on our last trip. She chose to take the table by the window.

The waiter approached us to take our order. Just before Y/N said anything, I told the waitress that we were ordering everything on the menu. She looked surprised at first before proceeding to prepare our order.

"I'm not eating that much food," Y/N blurted.

"We'll see Y/N. People say they have the best cakes here," I smirked knowing that she would never say no to sweet treats.

The food came and I took a good look at her facial expression. She was in joy, what a sweetheart. She was a little confused about which one to eat first, but that only lasted a second. She picked the red velvet cheesecake first.

"Oh, Lord! Draco, you have to taste this," she said, handing her fork full of cake in front of my mouth.

"Hurry, open up," she said full of excitement. I guessed she didn't know that what she was doing right now was a little over what best friends normally did.

I smiled then opened my mouth to let her feed me the cake. She waited for me to eat up the cake before asking me how good it tasted.

"You have a taste," I muttered.

"Indeed, I'm an expert," she chuckled lightly.

She continued eating anything that caught her eyes. I took a quick note on my head so I would remember to bring her to every place that had the best desserts in the future.

We finished the food and I went to the front counter to pay. I told her that she could go outside first. The bill didn't surprise me, I literally just ordered the whole menu. For people like the Weasleys, this much amount would definitely shock them to death. But money wasn't a problem for me and Y/N. The problem was how she only considered me her best friend.

"I wanna get my hair trimmed a little. I'll pay it by myself," she said walking to the salon across Honeydukes.

"No, you said you would let me buy things for you. This is a part of it," I insisted while trying to catch up with her.

"You've spent a lot of money back there," she replied.

"Y/N," I called, grabbing her wrist to stop her from going.

"Fine Draco, do as you please," she sighed.

We entered the hairdressing salon and the hairdresser immediately wanted to touch my beautiful and well-groomed hair. I slapped her hand, not letting her touch even a strand of my hair. Y/N giggled at the sight of it.
