"Albus, are you sure there is no one else" Dumbledore looked to the tall dark haired man sitting across from him. "I'm sorry Severus, but this is one place they would never dare to look for him. It's in his best interest."
Severus let out a sigh, "Well then you get to tell Mr. Malfoy where he will be staying this summer." he paused for a second "Does she know about this yet?"
Dumbledore gave him a smile "No, but she will be okay with it, I can assure you. Severus left to get Draco, he was going to be in for a shock.
10 minutes later, Severus walked in with Draco. They took seats across from the headmaster.
"Draco my boy, I have figured out where to hide you until school starts back. It is a place where neither your father or any other death eaters will even think to look for you. It's for your own good and your safety depends on it."
Draco looked at him with a curious expression, "Where am I staying, I can assure you they will find me anywhere you put me in the wazarding world."
Severus cleared his throat "Before he tells you, I just want to make sure you know I had absolutely nothing to do with this, it's not my idea."
"Draco" Dumbledore called "We will be leaving in an hour, You will be staying with Miss Granger for the summer."
Draco jumped up, "your putting me where? I could have just swore you said I would be spending the summer with GRANGER."
"I can assure your safety there Mr. Malfoy, Hermione is quite different when she's not in school, you may actually enjoy yourself. She lives in the guest house behind her parents home, she also has some friends that stay with her during the summer and with the 5 friends and Hermione, nobody can get to you without someone knowing."
Draco knew there was no point in arguing, there was no getting out of this one. He stood "I'll go get my things" and he walked out of the room knowing it was going to be a long summer.
Dumbledore and Draco apparated an hour later, and landed in front of a large house. "Granger has money?" he asked in a shocked voice, directing the question to Dumbledore.
"The Granger's are well off in the muggle world, probably as well off as you in our world."
Draco couldn't believe that someone like her had money.
The duo walked up to the door and knocked. A woman answered the door, "Albus, so nice to see you again, what do you owe this pleasure?" Mrs. Granger asked.
"I've come needing a favor from you and Hermione. This is Draco Malfoy, I need him to stay with Hermione until school starts back, he is in danger and after some consideration, staying with her is the best thing for him."
Mrs. ger gave Draco a smile, "Of course he can stay. I'm sure there is room for him even with her friends being there."
"Oh, they have arrived already?" Dumbledore said with a smile, "I'd really like to see them again, Hermione has such wonderful friends."
"They arrived 2 weeks ago, the same day she came home and have been practicing ever since." she replied with a smile. "You can go on back, I'm sure they will be delighted to see you again Albus."
Draco and Dumbledore walked around the side of the house. When they reached the back, Draco could see a rather large guest house, he also noticed the guest house had a pool. "Maybe this wont be so bad after all." he thought to himself.
Dumbledore knocked on the front door, a tall boy who looked around 18 or 19 answered. The boy was wearing a pair of long sleeping pants and much to Draco's surprise, the boy was not wearing a shirt. The boy was tall, tan and built, "Surely this cant be Granger's boyfriend, he's to good for her" He though.
"Brian, how are you?" Albus asked. Brian wiped his eye's with his hand, "Albus? Nice to see you again, come on in, we've all gotta wake up anyway."
Draco slowly followed his headmaster into the house, where Brian led them to the large kitchen. "Have a seat, I'll go wake the others." Albus and Draco quickly took their seats around a large round table.
"Headmaster, Is Brian one of the friends that live here too?" Albus shook his head in a yes response
"Brian and Hermione have been friends for year's, grew up together actually, along with the others that stay here as well."
"I guess I just never pictured Granger having a male roommate." Draco said with a shrug
"Then I guess I should warn you th" Albus was cut off when another male voice rang out.
"Albus, I wasn't expecting you for another week?"
"Good morning Eric, I'm actually here on Hogwart's business, but I will be back next week for sure."
Eric stood about 6'3", medium length dirty blond hair, brown eye's. He was wearing boxers and a tee shirt, but his muscular build was easy to see.
"Ummm, headmaster," Draco started "Does Granger live with any girls or are they all boys?"
Albus let out a chuckle, obviously Draco was used to being the best looking guy around, and upon seeing her friends, he knew he had competition. "No girls Mr. Malfoy, Hermione is in a band with the guys that live here, they consider Hermione like a sister." Albus stated.
One by one the rest of the boys came into the kitchen, they all sat down around the table while Brian started breakfast.
"Albus" Eric started "Who have you brought with you?"
The boy's were all looking to Draco with curiosity. "This is Draco Malfoy, I've come to ask Hermione to allow him to stay with you all for the summer."
Another boy named Blake responded. "I'm sure she will be fine with it, she has an extra bed in her room that was set up for Ginny when she comes, but I think Ginny is busy with Harry this summer."
Draco was shocked, "They all know about Potter and Weasley, are they muggles?"
"Yes" came the voice of Eric "Hermione is the only one with any magic and I assume you probably do to, considering who brought you here."
Albus and the boys talked a while longer until Brian announced Breakfast was ready. Looking around the notice Hermione still hadn't come out of her room. Brian turned to Eric "It's your turn to get her up." he said in a matter of fact tone. Eric stood and walked into a door at the very end of the hall. The boy's all started laughing, they knew what was fixing to happen, all knew except Draco.
5 minute's later, Eric came back into the room with a protesting Hermione slumped over his shoulder, cave man style. "Put me down, I'm up." she yelped Eric continued to carry her till he reached her empty chair. He plopped her into it, she was building up a nice insult on how barbaric he was being until she caught sight of Albus and Draco "What's he doing here?" she asked pointing at Draco.
