After the photoshoot, Hermione and Draco walked down the hotel corridor.

"So, is he your boyfriend?" Draco questioned Hermione.

"Who?" Hermione asked him in a confused tone.

"The photographer." Draco said as Hermione laughed "Cormac? No."

"I saw the way he was smiling at you." Draco said in a jealousy tone as Hermione smirked, she can tell that Draco's jealous as she shook her head while chuckled "No, Cormac is more like family. He’s not my boyfriend."

"And the guy at the store?" Draco asked firmly as Hermione looked at him with shock.

"Viktor? No. He's my um, you know, my manager." Hermione assured him before they made their way to the coffee shop where they sat down on their table where Draco poured Hermione's cup of tea.

"Thank you." Hermione said nervously as Draco noticed how nervous she was "You seem nervous." He said to her.

"I find you intimidating." Hermione admit it.

"You should." Draco said before placing a muffin in front of Hermione.

"Eat." He instructed her.

"Not to mention high-handed." Hermione said before grabbing a bite on the muffin.

"I’m used to getting my own way." Draco assured her.

"Well it must get very boring." She said to him.

"Tell me about your family." Draco said to her.

"My family? Um, okay. Well, I am only child, my parents are living in Australia, my mother worked in a grocery store while my father had worked as a dentist. They're sweet and loving parents that I ever had." Hermione said with a smile.

"Ah, I see." Draco nodded.

"Well I study English Lit, so I kind of have to be. Thought the photo shoot went well. Right? Ginny seems to be really happy…" Hermione began before Draco cut her off "I’m sorry, I can’t." As Hermione's expression changed from happy to a mix of shock and sad look "What?" Hermione questioned.

"I’ll walk you out." Draco said as he got up of his chair as he walked outside with Hermione.

"Do you have a girlfriend, is that it?" Hermione questioned.

"I don’t do the girlfriend thing." Draco answered firmly.

"What does that even mean?" Hermione questioned as they went to cross the street where suddenly, a motorcycle had almost hit Hermione when Draco pulled her out of the way.

"Watch it!" Draco exclaimed before holding onto Hermione and touched her face tenderly.

"I’m not the man for you. You should steer clear of me. I have to let you go." Draco told her as the words that he spoke to her made her clearly hurt.

"Goodbye, Mr. Malfoy." Hermione said before walking away.
