Would You Still Love Me?

"are we there yet?" Hermione said, whining slightly. "Are we there yet?" Mocked Draco. Walking faster to avoid her. "Seriously though"

"We will get there when we get there"

"You are no fun" Hermione pouted. "I again find that insulting" Draco mentioned jokingly. Hermione smiled and bumped into him playfully.

"I guess we will see tomorrow night.......I still can't believe you didn't tell me sooner" said Hermione. Draco looked up slightly from the map to glance at her than looked back down "I'm getting you a dress aren't I?"

"That's not the point"

"We're here"

"Don't change the subject"

"No I mean we are actually here" Draco exclaimed, pointing ahead.

They were on top of a hill. At the bottom of the hill was a small town. It was quaint. The streets were paved but had cracks in them and flowers growing through. An occasional older looking street light was thrown in to give it a classic town sort of look. The buildings all seemed to be made of bricks of different colors and variety. It all just seemed to fit. But although the town was beautiful in its own way the real sight was where the town ended a 2,500 ft tall castle loomed.

It was ginormous and glittering in the sun. It seemed to be made of gold and Hermione shook her head and looked again, it seemed like something out of a dream. Draco was gaping at it widely "it's bigger than mine...." He exclaimed.

Hermione let out a small snort. Draco turned to her in surprise. "It's ok you can be jealous of his solid gold castle, I'm sure your million dollar silver mansion is nothing compared to this" Hermione mocked. "You should come see it sometime" Draco responded sarcastically.

Hermione giggled slightly and looked back at him "maybe I will"

"I don't need anymore creepy stalkers"

"What about fangirls? Can I be your fangirl?"

"Nope too many of those"

"What about poparazzi?"

"They. Are. Annoying" Draco drawled. "What about friend? Can I be your friend?" Hermione asked, grinning. Draco pretended to ponder this than looked back at her "I suppose but you should know I usually don't invite girls to my mansion because they're my friends"

"I'm honored I'm being chosen as your first" Hermione said dryly. She started to walk down the hill, Draco ran after her. "You have to promise something though...." Hermione said honestly, as they walked on.

"What?" Draco asked. In his mind he was secretly screaming.

Anything what do you need me to do?

But he said none of this out loud. He watched her as she started to talk again. "No sex while I'm there" Hermione replied, looking at him with a strange light in her eyes.

"You really want to make sure I'll keep my hands off you" Draco stated, smirking. "No....... not me you know with other girls"

"So you think I'm gonna do it with guys I like girls Hermione" Draco smirked again, seeing her squirm. "I don't mean me I mean while I'm there don't have sex with anyone, no touching or anything I just would want it to be about me" Hermione said softly, her voice coming down from the yelling volume she had recently been at.

Draco took a step closer to her and wrapped an arm around her waist. He knew he couldn't be with her. His mind was trying to convince him this was just to play at her, to tease her. There weren't any other reasons. He knew he was lying.
