Hermione woke up and realized it was Friday. She looked at the clock and it said 12:03. She decided that she was going to wear the same dress she wore for the Christmas Ball unless Ginny let her borrow a dress. Ginny knew all about Hermione and Draco dating and didn't judge Hermione in anyway. Ginny was rather excited for Draco and Hermione's first date. Hermione got dressed in a pink jumper and her light blue jeans and white flats and sorted out in the bathroom and went straight to the Great Hall. Hermione saw Ginny and ignored the looks and sat down next to her.

"Hi 'Mione."

"Hi Ginny."

"Why should people care if you're dating Malfoy it's your choice."

"Why don't you tell them that."

"OK I will."

"No Ginny you don't have too."

"No 'Mione I will."

"Me and Draco have been dating almost 6 days."

"So."

"So can't you tell people until me and Draco have been going out longer if we go out longer."

"What do you mean if."

"He could just be playing me."

"Hermione I've seen you and Malfoy together and he hasn't been playing you. Who helped you get through your break-up with Ron."

"Draco." Hermione smiled.

"Some one say my name."

Hermione turned round and remained smiling. Blaise was with Draco but Blaise was looking at Ginnys hand where the engagement ring lay on her finger.

"I said your name."

"Is our date still on?"

"What do you mean?"

"I thought maybe you might get too embarrassed."

"Why would I get embarrassed with you Draco?"

"You know everyone knowing that were dating."

"Draco as you said I don't care if everybody knows that were dating or not. They were going to find out anyway."

"You have a point is our date still on then?"

"Yes it is still on."

"Good." Draco kissed Hermione on the lips but it was only a small kiss but it made Hermione's heart go racing. When he broke he saw Ron looking furious with him but Draco ignored him and sat next to Hermione. Other people saw the kiss but wasn't that bothered. Ginny now was giggling very girly.

"What Ginny."

"You and Malfoy just kissed." She did an exciting shriek.

"She gets really over excited." Draco said sipping some pumpkin juice.

"She's divine when she gets over excited." Blaise said all dreamily like a girl would if they saw a boy that was dreamy.

Ginny looked up at Blaise with a serious face.

"Whats that Theo coming." Blaise ran out of the Great Hall.

Hermione just laughed.

"OK I know he has a crush on me but I didn't think it was that big of a crush."

"Is 8:00 still OK for our date?"

"Yeah it's fine."

"OK then see you later."

"See you later."

Draco stood up and went out the Great Hall looking for Blaise.

"OK 'Mione when am I getting you ready for your date."

"I don't know 6:30."

"Are you sure?"

"Yes it shouldn't take that long."

"Are you wearing the dress you wore for the Christmas Ball or do you want to wear one of mine?"

"Can I look at your dresses then decide?"

"Yeah sure."

The girls just kept talking and now it was 6:00.

"Ginny I think I should get ready now."

"OK 'Mione."

"I'll go get my dress and then come to the Gryffindor girl dorms."

"No 'Mione I'm coming with you."

"Ok then Ginny."

Hermione and Ginny left the Great Hall.

Hermione went in the Head boy and girls common room and Ginny came in after Hermione. They both went in Hermione's dorm and Hermione got the dress. They then made their way to the Gryffindor common room. Hermione paused outside the door.

"Are you OK Hermione we can get you ready at your dormitory."

"Yeah I'm fine."

The girls went in and Hermione received a few looks but ignored them. Her and Ginny just went straight to the dormitory. Luckily no one was in there so Ginny let Hermione look at her dresses while Ginny was sorting out make-up. Hermione looked at several dresses but couldn't find one that she felt matched the occasion so she decided to stick with hers. Ginny was fine with it. Ginny did Hermione's make-up before Hermione put her dress on because she didn't want the dress to get powder on it. Hermione had grey eye shadow on, black mascara, a little bit of blusher on and light pink lipstick on. By the time Ginny finished the make-up it was 7:00. Hermione changed into her dress and sat back down on the chair. Ginny now did Hermione's hair straight like she did for the Christmas ball but left her fringe so that it added effect. She used loads of hair spray which made Hermione cough a few times. Ginny got a bracelet that had blue jewels on it and gave it to Hermione to put on. Hermione stayed without a necklace because she couldn't find one that matched. It was now 7:45 Hermione picked some silver high heels which were 3/4. Hermione and Ginny went down the stairs most people were gone including Ron. Hermione sighed with relief. She really didn't want to bump into Ron on this night. It was now 7:50 and Hermione went to sit down but Ginny stopped her.

"Why not Ginny."

"You'll crease your dress."

"But I still have ten minutes left."

"Still your not sitting down."

"Yeah but wont I need to sit down on my date."

"Yes but oh Hermione I'm so nervous for you." Ginny grabbed Hermione into a hug. Hermione hugged her back.

"OK Hermione the only thing I want him to ruin for tonight is your lipstick and that's all I want him to ruin ever. Because I never want him to ruin your mascara."

Hermione knew what her friend was saying she didn't mind if he ruined her lipstick from a kiss but she never wanted him to ruin her mascara from her crying over him.

It was now 7:55.

"Nervous?"

"Yes very."

"Nervous for what?" Harry butted in.

"Hermione's having her first date with Malfoy tonight."

As much as Harry hated Draco he smiled and hugged Hermione.

"Be a good girl Hermione and make sure Malfoy is a good boy or he will have to deal with me."

Hermione smiled at what Harry said.

"OK Harry I will make sure that Draco is a good boy and I am a good girl."

"Good."

It was now 7:58. Hermione came out of the Gryffindor common room and Ginny went with her. Hermione went down the stairs and to Ginny's surprise Draco was standing waiting for Hermione. Ginny giggled and went to the last remaining stairs.

"You look beautiful."

"Thank you. You look handsome."

"Don't you mean sexy and gorgeous Hermione?" When Ginny realized what she said she blushed.

"Why thank you Ginny."

Hermione just was looking at her best friend who was still blushing pink while Draco was smirking.

"Anyway Hermione are you ready for our date."

"Yes and advice for you Ginny don't flirt with any other boys while your engaged."

Ginny nodded her head hugged Hermione and ran straight back up the stairs.

"See every girl falls for me."

"Draco can we just get on with our date I'm excited to where your taking me."

"OK." Draco offered Hermione his hand and she took it.

He led her outside to one of the carriages. Hermione got on first and Draco after her.

"So where are you taking me."

"I'm not telling you."

"Why not."

"Because it's a secret."

"Draco please tell me." She looked at him with puppy eyes.

"Hermione I'm not telling you it's a surprise."

"Fine."

When they stopped at Hogsmead he got out first and helped her down from the carriage. He led her through the streets and to a fancy restaurant. Hermione stopped realizing where he was taking her.

"I can't go in there."

"Why not?"

"It's a really posh and fancy restaurant and it costs loads of money."

"Hermione I'm taking you here because I can so calm down."

"OK then." Hermione straightened her back and let Draco held her hand and led her in.

It had a crystal white carpet and the walls were a crimson red. The tables had a purple cloth over them, the chairs were a chestnut brown with purple designs on them. Hermione could tell it was a very expensive restaurant. A waiter came up to them and led them to a table it was near the center of the room. Hermione was feeling butterflies in her tummy because most people in here would know who they were. Draco could sense that Hermione was nervous and squeezed her hand. The butterflies went from her tummy. Draco sat Hermione down and Draco sat down opposite her.

"Don't be nervous."

"I can't help it this is my very first date."

"Did Weasel-bee never take you on a date?"

"No."

"Just concentrate on me no one else."

"I'll try."

Draco and Hermione ordered the same meal which was steak and chips. It doesn't seem like something you would eat on your first date but they agreed to have it.

"You do look beautiful tonight Hermione."

Hermione smiled at him.

It had been about ten minutes and the food arrived. Hermione hesitated and looked at Draco who was cutting his steak.

"Hermione eat."

"What?"

Draco looked up at her.

"Your really nervous aren't you."

"Yeah just a bit."

"OK Hermione either you eat it or I will force it into your mouth."

Hermione knew he was joking and started eating with a smile on her face.

"Do you want a chip?"

"Huh?"

"Do you want a chip I want to eat desert and if I eat any more I'm going to be full."

"No thank's." She smiled at him.

They ordered dessert which was ice cream.

"Ahhh brain freeze."

Draco tried to hide a laugh from Hermione.

Hermione looked at Draco with a stern look.

"Sorry." Draco took a scoop of ice-cream into his mouth.

After they finished their ice-cream Draco payed the bill and Hermione and Draco left back to the castle.

"That's it."

"I want to give you something at the castle."

"Why at the castle."

"Because it's better at the castle."

They went to the head boy and girl common room and Hermione sat down on the sofa. Draco went to the back of the sofa and put a necklace around Hermione's neck. It was silver with a blue gem.

"Draco it's beautiful."

She pulled him in a hug and kissed him.

"I'm sorry Draco I'm tired I want to go to bed."

"OK." Draco kissed Hermione.

When she was in bed she was only in her night gown and she still had her necklace on. She held it in her hand and thought what the day had been like. She fell straight to sleep.
