"Hermione Jane Granger, come down here this instant!!" Hermione heard her Mom yell.
"Coming!" She shouted back, and carefully marked her page in Hogwarts, a History of which she was reading for the umpteenth time. "You called me?" Hermione asked her Mom, when she arrived downstairs.
"Yes! Hermione, someone named Draco Malfoy's head popped into the fire!! Care to explain?!" Hermione's Mom screamed, growing redder by the second.
"Draco's here?" Hermione gasped, turning around to dash back upstairs to make herself more presentable.
"Where do you think you're going young lady?" Hermione's Mom, Jane, asked her.
"Muuum, it's Draco!" Hermione answered, in what was barely a whisper.
"Oh, is this that boy you've been on about for god knows how long?" Jane asked her daughter.
"Mum! Yes, but shh, he might hear you!" Hermione told her mother. "Now if you don't mind, talk to him, while I get changed! Please!" She added.
"Yes, yes all right." Her mom told her, walking towards the fireplace to keep Draco company.
(A/N: When Hermione thinks it will be in Italics, just so you know)
I hope he didn't hear anything! God, I would die if he found out! Now what should I wear? Hermione finally picked out a baby blue t-shirt that matched the color of her eyes, with a short denim skirt. She quickly pulled her hair back so that the top half was in a bun, letting the rest of her soft curls cascade down her shoulders. Much better.
"Hey Draco!" Hermione said, upon entering the living room.
"Mione! It's great to see you! I was wondering, well would you, Ron and Harry, care to spend the rest of the Summer term at Malfoy Manor? You know, now that my Dad's in Azkaban, my Mom's lonely, and would love company!"
"Sure, just let me ask my Mom." Hermione told him. Oh God! I might spend the rest of my summer with Draco!! Yay! "Hey, Mum?"
"Mhmm?" Jane answered, reading the newspaper.
"Can I spend rest of the Summer at Draco's? Harry and Ron will be there as well!" Unfortunately. Hermione asked her Mom, hopeful.
"I guess, just don't do anything you might regret!" Jane answered, hoping she was doing the right thing.
"Oh, thanks Mum," Hermione said, throwing her arms around her Mom's neck. "I got to tell Draco!" She said, and then went back to the living room. "Yea, I can go! When do you want me there?"
"Hmm, tomorrow at noon sound okay to you?" Draco asked her.
"Yes! It's perfect!" She answered. If only I could go tonight. Hermione sighed.
"What's wrong?" Draco asked her.
"Oh, nothing, just thinking about... umm, you know, the day we became friends." Hermione answered. Whew, that was close!
"Yea, strange isn't it? You three hated me, and well now look at us, its like Marauders, second generation!" He answered.
"Yea, I know. I can't believe you stuck up for me to Pansy like that!" Hermione said, remembering the day, that happened only a few months before.
"Well, she was a prat, and she didn't even know you! Well neither did I at that point, but well you know, after my Dad got locked up, I was free to be myself again! I didn't have to pretend, or worry about what he was going to do with me, if I didn't follow in his footsteps." Draco responded with.
"I know, you lived a hard childhood Draco, and no one can give that back." Hermione answered.
"Well at least now I have friends, true friends, not those bimbos Crabbe and Goyle." Draco said, talking about Harry, Ron and Hermione.
"Yea. So, are you going to talk to Dumbledore about switching to Gryffindor?" Hermione asked him. I sure hope he does, because then we'll be able to spend a lot more time with each other.
"Yup, owled him this morning!" Draco asked, obviously pleased with himself. "Well, I still need to talk to Harry and Ron, so I best be off, see you tomorrow!"
"Draco wait! I wouldn't recommend flooing to Harry's, his Aunt and Uncle don't exactly approve of magic. I'll call him if you'd like." Hermione told him.
"Would you? Thanks Mione, you're the best!" And with that, Draco's head disappeared.
Now I have to call Harry, hopefully he'll answer the phone and not those excuses for Muggles. Hermione sighed, and walked happily over to the phone.
A/N: ok, this is where I'm going to end this chapter! Let me know if you like it or not!
