CHAPTER 1. Guests

Hermione was sitting on her bed writing in her diary, when her mother came in.

"Hermione dear, you know how your father has an aunt who is a witch.?"

Hermione nodded. "Yeah Great aunt Simone"

"Well, her best friends son is coming to stay with us for the rest of the holidays"

"Oh. Do you know his name mum?"

"He goes to Hogwarts but I'm not quite sure what house he is in or what his name is. Sorry."

"That's O.K." Hermione said. She hoped against hope that it wasn't Draco Malfoy.

"Draco, Son could you come down stairs for a minute please?" Narcissa called from the kitchens.

"Coming Mother" Draco called from his room as he threw down his book "It gets to the good part. and she calls me"

As Draco arrived in the kitchens his mother called for him to come into the dining room.

"Draco, love you know how your father and I are going to France?"

"Yeah."

"Well, we don't want you to stay home alone since the attack." Narcissa said with a hint of fear in her voice.

"Narcissa, honey there's no need to worry we will be safe in France and Draco will be safe at your friends nieces place"

"I know Lucius I just don't want my little dragon to get hurt"

"Mum its O.K. When do I leave?"

"You leave tomorrow morning at 10:30"

"O.K. I'll start packing" Draco said as he turned his heel to walk back upstairs.

He completely forgot to ask if this girl was a pureblood or if she was a mudblood like Granger.

"Oh and Draco."

"Yeah" he turned back around

"She's a half blood, mother's a muggle fathers a wizard"

"Cool" he said to himself "At least it can't be Granger"

*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#*#

The doorbell chimed at the Granger home at 2 in the afternoon.

"I'll get it!" Hermione called from the den as she ran towards the door.

"Hello, I'm Herm." She started to say as she opened the door

"Granger! There's gotta be a mistake! I was told I was staying with a half blood!"

"I am half blood. Dickweed"

"What.?"

"MUM!!" Hermione screamed

"Hermione! Sweetie! Are you O.K?" Mrs Granger called as she ran down the stairs

"Yes in away, but in away no! Mum this is the guy that has been calling me 'Mudblood' since second year."

"Oh. Hello you must me Narcissa's son"

Draco nodded.

"I'm Jemima Granger. And don't call her mudblood again. She's half blood" she extended her hand to him

"There is no fucking way I am touching a filthy muggle" he thought this and thank god he did because the Grangers didn't not accept profanities in their house.

"Draco," he said as he shook her hand.

"Well Draco please come into our humble home."

As Draco stepped into the house, his jaw drooped when he saw it was more like a manor than a house. The walls were white but the furniture was marron, navy, black or green. And it was mostly either leather or suede.

"Wow" Draco said under his breath.

"What was that Malfoy?" Hermione said with a smile

"Nothing bitch," he said with his trademark smirk

"Unfortunately we are renovating, and my youngest daughter, Hollie is staying in the spare room so Draco, will have to stay in Hermione's room for about two weeks, while we are painting the room and refurnishing it."

At this both Malfoy and Hermione tunned around

"Mum, why cant Hollie sleep in my room?"

"Because I don't want you to wake up at two in the morning. O.K.?" Her mother said with concern.

"Fine. But what will Draco sleep on?"

"The bed"

"But mum I can't sleep on the floor. Not with my back"

"I'm sorry, Mrs Granger but I have a really bad back as well and I'm not allowed to sleep on the floor either"

"Oh. Well Hermione's bed is a king-size so you can sleep head to toe or what ever it's called. O.K.?"

"Fine" The two seventeen-year-olds replied in unison

"Alright. Hermione why don't you show Draco your room?"

"O.K. mum. C'mon Malfoy"
