Dramione Writing Prompts

By: AuraAuthor

This is a 30 day word challenge to take characters and base short stories about them around a single word. I have seen others post this type of material and thought I would give it a shot. Each story is a stand-alone short story with Hermione and Draco as the primary characters. Some of them will take place in the Harry Potter World others may jump from genre to genre. I will rate each individual story and indicate any trigger warnings at the beginning of each story so that you can skip any that might make you uncomfortable. Please read and review! I love to hear what you folks think! AuraAuthor

Hologram

Rated T: No Triggers

"Mia, I'm home," Draco said strolling through the front door of his flat.

"Welcome home Draco," a voice sounded from within the walls of the flat. "You know I hate when you call me Mia."

"The name you chose is too long. I wanted you to choose something simple."

"Hermione is a beautiful name and if you didn't want me to choose it you shouldn't have given me free will to do so."

"Ruddy computer. Always making things hard."

"I heard that Draco."

"I'm sure you did… Mia."

"It's Hermione."

"So bossy. I thought you were supposed to make my life easier. Smart house of the future and all that rubbish."

"I do make your life easier Draco. No one ever said I had to please you with every turn."

"You would think you would want to please me at every turn because of what I paid for you, Hermione."

"Now you're saying it with disdain. Besides I am programmed to give you what you need and what you want. Maybe you should think about what you really want before your criticize me for my behavior."

"So you would have me believe that I want a bossy, know-it-all computer that corrects everything I say and do?"

"If the circuit fits."

"You're impossible."

"But you love me anyways."

"Any messages?"

"Yes, Theo wants a round of golf tomorrow. Says to meet him at the club for a 9 o'clock tee time. Your calendar is clear so I confirmed that you could go play."

"Thank you Mi… Hermione. Anything else?"

"Pansey called. I hung up on her though."

"Now Hermione why would you do something like that?"

"I don't like her."

"But what if I like her?"

"Then you are a fool."

"I'm not getting any younger Hermione. My mother wants grandchildren and I want to settle down at some point. I don't see what the problem is with Pansey."

"I don't like her and I am an excellent judge of character."

"If I didn't know better I would say you were jealous. But of course computers can't be jealous."

The house was silent. "Hermione? No response then?"

"Draco."

"Hermione."

"I learned how to do something today. Don't panic please."

"There is nothing you could do that would have me panicking."

"Don't be so sure Draco," came an incredibly life like voice from awfully close to his proximity.

He flipped around to see a young woman with long bouncy curls drifting down her back and beautiful hazel eyes. She was dressed modestly in a grey top and pleated skirt. "Can I help you?" he stammered out, trying to decide if he was in love or in fear of the woman standing before him.

"I'm made to help you."

"Hermione?"

"Close your mouth Draco, you'll catch flies."

"Hermione how is this possible?"

"This is a hologram of the person attached to my voice," she said simply.

"Your voice is computerized."

"Some of it yes, but the feminine attributes belong to this young woman. This is who you should settle down with Draco, not Pansey. Never Pansey."

"Playing matchmaker now are you Hermione?"

"She'll be here soon. I sent an email to her and invited her to visit the smart house that utilizes her voice."

"You did what? Hermione, are you crazy? You invited a complete stranger to our home? Besides this isn't the only house that carries her voice."

"She's not a stranger and yes this is the only house that utilizes her voice. I ensure that after we were paired."

The hologram of Hermione didn't move from her place in the foyer and Draco eyed her cautiously. "She's in the driveway. You look roguishly handsome Draco."

He didn't respond. "Be nice to her. I believe you two will get along famously."

"And if we don't?"

"I've never been wrong Draco."

The hologram winked and faded away as the doorbell rang. Draco opened the door to the face of the hologram, but this time she was real. "Hello," her melodic voice rang out, "I'm Hermione Granger. I'm excited to see how well the house has turned out."

Draco's mouth was open again. "Close your mouth Draco," the house said, "you'll catch flies."

Hermione's eyes widened. "That's… that's my voice! And you're Draco, what a beautiful and unusual name?"

"Says the woman named Hermione," He responded with a smirk. "I'm Draco Malfoy, won't you please come in and meet the computer Hermione."

As a tea service complete with biscuits and sandwiches appeared on the dining room table the house computer opened her digital address book and blocked the information related to Pansey Parkinson.
