Chapter 1
It was a cool summer evening with birds chirping from the high trees around Hermionie and Draco who were sat on a picnic bench. About 2 weeks before their first year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry.
Hermionie's family were of high class in the wizard world and never had mixed with muggles or mudbloods, much the same as the Malfoy family.
Both their families were inside the mansion, drinking wine and discussing small-talk. Draco and Hermionie guessed that their families were probably talking about how a baby had stopped 'you-know-who' as that was the topic that was brought up more than regularly than other topics when their families got together. "If I ever meet this so called Harry Potter I will cause so much crap for him he wished he had died instead of the Dark Lord" Draco told Hermionie in a disgusted tone.
"I don't think he sounds bad, just amazing! A baby able to stop the most powerful dark wizard who had ever lived! Just wow! He must be about our age" Hermionie said in a mind blown kind of way.
Before Draco could reply, they heard a loud voice coming from the porch of the house. "Hermionie, Draco, Dinner is ready, do you want Dobby to bring your food out here for you both or would you prefer to eat in the dining hall in the warmth with us!?" Nancy, Draco's mother had asked.
"Out here mum! Oh and can you tell that dumb elf to bring me a glass of pumpkin juice this time? Last time he brought me some muggle drink called orange juice" Draco shouted at his mother in a serious and furious manner.
"You should learn to get things yourself Draco. Don't rely on people or Elves to do it for you" Hermionie said to Draco, trying to protect Dobby as she had learned to like the house-elves as they had been kind to her in her childhood and gave her elf a shirt and set her free.
"Here you go Miss Granger, Mr Malfoy" Came a voice from a small yet cheerful house elf as he was pushing food for the two children onto the table. "Ah, you must be Dobby then. I've heard you have served the Malfoy family for years" Hermionie said to Dobby in a friendly chatty voice.
"Correct Miss" Said an unhappy dobby in a flinching movement as Draco snatched his drink from Dobby's hand.
"I used to have a House elf until I set her free, ummm I think she was called Toffie" Trying to shrug off the horrible gesture from Draco.
"I know her, she sometimes comes to visit me on weekends, and between you and me, I really like her if you know what I'm saying" Dobby winked at Hermionie as his spirits were being lifted and a light came to his face. Probably hoping to actually get a conversation starting for the first time in years with a witch or wizard.
Hermionie chuckled to Dobby and nodded her head as Draco sat and watched her and Dobby have a very fulfilling conversation.
"We have the things we need now go do work you pathetic creature!" Draco shouted shooing Dobby into the house. "Finally! Merlin I hate it when he starts to talk to people who he shouldn't be talking to" Draco looked at Hermionie who had a shocked, 'are you for real' look on her face.
"Just eat and keep your mouth shut Draco haha, we need our energy for Hogwarts equipment tomorrow at Diagon Alley" Hermionie told Draco stuffing her mouth with Roast Chicken and mashed potatoes with Caviar.
