Hermione Granger was sitting in her living room, reading one of her muggle novels while sipping some tea. She just returned from Australia with her parents and she and her family was celebrating their return in the garden.
"Hey 'Mione!" said a voice.
She turned and saw her cousin Allison Granger, her dark brown hair in a ponytail and sporting a Tornados jersey. She, like Hermione, was a muggle born with in Hogwarts, starting her fourth year.
"Yeah, Allie?" she asked.
"Do you know that Draco Malfoy bloke?" Allison asked innocently.
Hermione choked on her tea, after a coughing fit, she regained her composure and glared at her cousin.
"Why? Do you know him?" she asked.
"Yeah. He's my best mate's cousin. I've been seeing him when I was in Dom's house." She said.
Hermione remembered that Allison was friends with Dominic Black, a Slytherin in the same year as her cousin.
"Now, why are you asking?" asked Hermione.
"Oh…..nothing." she said and smirked. She then ran out to the garden not to be seen for the next three hours.
"DRAGON! Where are you?" yelled Dominic.
Draco grunted and looked up from his book. Dominic came running in the Malfoy Manor library wearing a black shirt and her black bob, messy. Following her was her friend Allison Granger.
"What Dom? Hello Allie." He said.
"Well, you should be happy. Hermione didn't call you an evil cockroach or a ferret, or any name in fact." Said Allison.
Draco beamed at the two. "Thank Merlin you're Dom's friend Allie."
"Oh well, I can see she's not happy with that Weasley boy, and I want the best for my cousin." She said and shrugged.
When the two girls left, Draco jumped of his seat and started jumping for joy. 'Hermione didn't call me a name! She didn't insult me!' That night, he slept peacefully for the first time.
