Blind Date Surprises

“Ginny!!” The red head flinched in her room. Hermione was going to drive her nuts. The girl had been running all over their shared flat for three days. After much pushing, Ginny had finally convinced her to try one of those internet dating sites.

Though she had been raised as a witch, Hermione had lived with muggles. When they decided to get a flat together after Ginny finished Hogwarts, Hermione showed her some of the more entertaining parts of muggle life. They had a nice hybrid home. They were connected to the floo network and received most of their post by owl, yet they had the luxuries of cable television, internet, and kitchen appliances.

Ginny nearly fell off of her bed as Hermione bustled into her room. She had to hide her giggles as she looked at the frazzled girl. She was wearing heels with a long button shirt, her lipstick was smeared, and the poor girl’s hair was a nest of untamed curls.

“Ginny, help!” Hermione begged her friend. Through a chortle, Ginny got up. “Ok, Hermione, calm down.” Hermione threw the closest pillow at her. “oh shut up. It is not funny! He’ll be here in an hour!”

Ginny went with Hermione into the bathroom. Her first task was to calm down that mass of hair. She took out her wand and ran a smoothing spell to make it turn from tangled ringlets to smooth, big waves. The make-up was the easy part, soap and water can do wonders when paired with a talented witch.

By the time they had finished, Hermione only had 15 minutes before her date was supposed to be there. She was pacing the living room, wringing her hands. “What if I slip up and he finds out I’m a witch?” Sighing, Ginny went to her and grabbed her hands, “Hermione, you went to Hogwarts for 7 years, you hid your talents during the summers quite well.” She smiled at the nervous girl.

Hermione hugged her in gratitude. “I know Gin, I just wish I knew what he looked like.” After a couple of weeks, Hermione and Drew, her date, had agreed not to share photos. They both liked one another and thought it would be fun to have a real ‘blind date’.

The sound of the doorbell startled them both. Taking a deep breath, she walked to the door, admiring the lean silhouette through the frosted glass door. She opened the door with her most welcoming smile. Her smile fell immediately when she took in the man standing in front of her.

“Malfoy?!” she exclaimed. “What in the gods names are you doing at my house?” Draco looked as though he were about to be plowed down. He was apparently as surprised as she was. It took him only a moment to regain his cool and trademark sneer.
“Granger. Well, well. You do clean up well.” He allowed his eyes to sweep up her body. Starting at the low heeled sandal wedges, up those long legs that seemed to not end, and brushing over her pale peach sundress.

Groaning, Hermione noticed the flowers in his hand. “Drew?” He flashed her a mischievous grin. Looking behind her for help, she decided to draw on that lioness courage her old school house is famous for. “Well, since Ginny seems to have vanished, we might as well get going.”

Looking momentarily surprised, he gave a small bow and offered her his arm. She took it and turned to lock the door. Draco admiring the way her dress seemed to flow about her as though it were alive. They traveled down the steps and into the night. “So, where are we going and when did Draco Malfoy, Slytherin Prince start to use muggle contraptions?”

Grabbing her close with a twinkle in his eyes, he turned on the spot and apparated them away.
