Notes: Written for day 7 of the 2009 Valentine's Challenge, Quote prompt from Bridget Jones Diary #4 "Perhaps this is the mysterious Mr. Right I have been waiting my whole life to meet. Maybe not." This one is is a sequel to Alone, my second drabble for this challenge .
I just want to say I am glad I discovered this community. I have only been reading fanfic since the end of DH and this challenge is my first attempt at writing my own fanfic (although I often have rabid plot bunnies hopping through my brain). I enjoyed reading everyone's drabbles and appreciate all the lovely feed back. Thank you all. :)
OOOPs I don't know how I got 2 cuts below, but I can't figure out how to edit one out.
Finding Mr. Right
Hermione smiled up at her date as he pulled out the chair for her then laying his hand on her shoulder he smiled back and asked her what she would like to drink. He set off to the bar. Gazing after him she thought to herself, He’s smart, funny, polite, a real gentleman; perhaps this is the mysterious Mr. Right I’ve been waiting my whole life to meet.
Maybe not, she thought 3 hours later. After bringing back her drink, other than sitting with her through a boring dinner filled with boring awards and speeches, her date had spent most of the evening gadding off around the banquet hall visiting with old friends and flirting with other women. Definitely not Mr. Right, she sighed.
Gathering her wrap and beaded bag she stood to leave. As she attempted to make a discreet exit, someone grabbed her wrist and yanked her into a darkened alcove. “Malfoy!” she gasped, “What do you think you’re doing?”
Pinning her up against the wall his lips descended to take hers firmly, with just a hint of anger; at first she struggled, but then something changed and she found herself kissing him back with a wild abandon. By the time the kiss ended they were both slightly breathless.
Leaning back to look into her face he said, “You know , Granger, for an extremely brilliant woman you are truly rather dense at times. When I told you that what you needed was a Slytherin, Zabini was definitely not who I had in mind.”
