"They think....well....he knows," he looked at Jesse, "what i've been saying. They worship Harry. I'm never going to be popular with them. Plus, your mother thinks i'm insane." He grinned before silently slipping his hand under the table and resting it on her thigh.

She smiled. "Don't worry. Act normal around them, try not to complain about little things, and just be friendly and they'll get used to you. They got used to the Weasleys, they got used to Harry, they'll get used to you too." She muttered, putting her hand on his under the table.

"Act normal?" he asked in quiet shock, "I have been, its normal for me to have elves cook, to have the right wine for the meal, to eat at least four courses. If anything, i've got to act not normal!" he squeezed her hand and looked at her nervously, "I won't get used to your world."

"Yeah you will. You just need a little help adjusting to a world where you don't have to beaten and do everything your father tells you.'' She whispered, squeezing his hand for comfort.

"And where you don't dress for dinner," he said teasingly, but her words rang true, "He'll come back, i just know it," he said sadly.

"Shhhh. Don't say that, you're safe. Trust me, there is no way they could find you and if they do the Ministry has guards securing the area just in case. It'll be ok." She squeezed his hand for comfort again and ate a mouthful of pasta.

"You clearly don't know my father," he said softly, "he's dedicated when he wants something. If he comes here, i'll have to flee, or he'll kill you. I've put your family in danger." he sighed sadly.

"No you haven't Draco. Calm down please. You're scaring me." She whispered, glancing at him.

"I should be!" he said frantically, "If my father has the slightest inkling i'm here, he'll come with the deatheaters. You won't stand a chance."

She sighed and scooted out of her chair. "I'm going to the ladies room. Be right back." She told her mum and Jesse. She glanced at Draco and frowned before going off to the bathroom. She closed the door and slid down the wall, her head in her hands. She knew it would be a risk and she took it. She was used to risks. Draco obviously disreguarded this and he was gonna end up slipping and scaring her mum and Jesse. She pulled her knees to her chest and folded her arms on top of them, laying her head on her arms.

As Hermione stood, he stood, as he was taught to when a woman came or left a table, and blushed a little when he realised he was the only one to do so. As she left, she frowned, and he knew she was going to cry.
"Would you excuse me Mrs. Granger," he said, bowing to her a little, "the food is delectable, but I must attend to something." He didn't care how unusual he sounded, he moved and followed the route he had seen Hermione take.
As he got into the corridor he heard a soft crying, and followed it to a locked door,
"Hermione," he asked, knocking on the door, "can you let me in?"

She hesitated a moment before unlocking the door with her wand. She still sat in the same position.

Draco entered slowly, and saw her crying. He didn't really know how to comfort a sad woman, so just sat on the edge of the bath,
"What's wrong?" he asked, suspecting that women liked talking.

"Are we twelve or something?" he asked sarcastically, before realsing that was the wrong approach, "I desire you, if that's what you mean, yes."
