Dear Dairy Chapter 2

Hermione walked through the school and to the dorms. She used the elevator and stepped out onto the third floor. Hermione had always felt better when she was sleeping higher up. Hermione smiled to herself, thinking about the fact that she hated flying on brooms, but liked to be high up in the air. Hermione walked down the blue hallway to the room marked 352. Hermione opened the door and walked in. Pansy Parkinson was sitting on the opposite bed, snogging Ronald Weasley. Hermione had come here to escape and now she was cornered by the two people she never wanted to see again. Hermione turned around shut the door and walked back down the hallway. She walked across the lawn and into the administration building; there was no way she was going to room with Pansy. Hermione waited for about ten minutes and then she went into see the Dean of Students. He offered Hermione a deal. She could have the only private property on the campus, in exchange for a few lectures and a couple thousand gallons. Hermione knew that this was her only option to avoid Ron and Pansy. She accepted. The Dean handed her a paper with a map of her new quarters and moved on to the next item of business. Hermione got up from the chair and walked out of the building. She wasn't going to let Ron ruin this for her. She was escaping and it was going to stay that way. She followed the directions on the map, coming to a beautiful five story housing unit. It was all silver steel and glass. Hermione smiled and walked inside. She had been given the 4th floor. The flat was a whole floor and she didn't have to share it with anyone. It was going to be an amazing year, even if Ron and Pansy were here. They hadn't seen her, maybe they didn't know where she was. Hermione walked into the elevator and pushed the 4. A hand suddenly slipped through the door and suddenly Draco Malfoy appeared outside the doors. Hermione sighed. This day would just keep getting worse apparently. He got into the elevator and pushed the 5, of course he would have the penthouse. Hermione smiled to herself and waited in silence. It was an uncomfortable silence. Hermione couldn't wait to get off the elevator, as she walked to the front when the doors opened; Hermione felt Draco's hand and turned. She was about to say something bitchy when he suddenly kissed her. She was shocked. Hermione smiled and watched the doors close. Hermione opened the front door of her flat and was impressed. It was huge. She walked in and shut the door; she had a lot of work to do though. Hermione smiled and turned to the kitchen area. She grabbed her wand and spoke softly but clearly. A small table appeared in a white oak finish with two oak chairs with fuzzy back rests. The cabinets changed into a dark wood. She loved the kitchen to match everything else. Hermione walked over to the living room and straight away put a wraparound couch and a huge comfy cashmere chair in the corner; she set the Floo to her signature and smiled. This was so much fun. Hermione walked to the bedroom, she was surprised to see another bathroom. There was already one in the hall, maybe they expected her to entertain. Hermione smiled, the bedroom was huge. She conjured a chair over in the corner, surrounded by bookshelves, and then a golden sleigh bed. She gave it a dark blue comforter and silk draped pillows and sheets. She hated the color red and all those years at Hogwarts made it worse. Hermione walked over to the closet, said "Accio Trunk" and floated it into her bed room. She sat down on her new bed and lifted the lid; she took her wand and started putting her clothes away. She turned toward a noise coming from the window, apparently on the outside was an owl nest, for a familiar. Since Crookshanks had died, Hermione had been meaning to get an owl, so now, she could and she'd have a reason. She smiled and opened the window to let in a slick black owl. She untied the letter from the owl and sent it on its way. Hermione hadn't been paying attention but she looked down at the letter and noticed that there was a crest. Hermione frowned it was a Malfoy crest. Her neighbor sent her an owl, instead of coming down himself. Hermione opened the letter and read

"Dear Miss Granger, I sincerely apologize for my actions in the elevator. I am glad that you will be my neighbor; I look forward to spending more time with you. Blaise lives on the 2nd floor and Theo lives on the 1st. You are surrounded by Slytherins. Hermione, please do not hold the past against us. We have all changed, give us a chance. I am offering you dinner tonight. My flat. Please come, you can either Floo your answer or send an owl.

Sincerely, Draco Malfoy

Hermione couldn't believe it. This was going to be a record setting day. Hermione had gotten up and thought it would be a good day, but it kept getting worse. First she leaves home, goes to her dorm, finds her ex snogging his current who he was with when he was with her, spending a extravagant amount of money to stay in a special flat, getting kissed by Draco and now she had to go to dinner with him. Hermione sent a message via her patrous to Draco saying that she accepted. Her otter flew away. Hermione got up and walked into the bathroom, it was time to get ready to meet a snake.
