Keeping Up Appearances Chapter.2 The Invite
"Hello, Draco this is Hermione Granger please listen and don't be rude." Oh my did I just call him Draco. What is wrong with me ?
"Okay Hermione" Draco replied in a tone that said I am so gonna mess with you.
"Um Malfoy I just called to say that you are invited to my sweet sixteen." Did he just call me Hermione ? I wonder why he did that.
"Um Hermione why are you inviting me to your party ?" He was very intrigued to find out the answer to that question.
"Well a couple of girls said they'd only come if you were there."
"So you're saying that you want me to come so you can have more guests at you party ?"
"Yes,Malfoy that is exactly what I am saying."
"Alright Hermione what time—"
"Would you please stop calling me Hermione." I really like the way he says my name all light and airy but this is weird.It just feels to right and that is a problem.
"Look Malfoy just call me Granger for now okay ?" She said with a pang of regret.
"Alright Granger." He said with a hint of annoyance in his voice as he said her last name.
"Hey you don't have to be so mean about it." She feigned hurt in her voice .
"I figured since we aren't in school anymore we could be a bit more civil towards one another. I am trying not to have any enemies this year . So what do you say Granger can we call a truce ?"
"Alright Malfoy we can have a truce but if you try do double cross me I swear you will regret it."
"Got it so what will the theme of your party be ?"
"Um excuse me ?"
"You know the theme like what kind of setting like the party have like a luau or Paris at night. You are a girl shouldn't you know these types of things ?"
"Well Malfoy I haven't really thought about it. " Man why is he questioning me like this ?
"Well when is the date of the party Granger ?"
"Um….it's on the 21st of June."
"I've got it you should have a pool part but give it a luau twist. Can you deal with that Granger ?"
"Malfoy the idea is good and all but I don't have a pool."
"Oh don't fret you could have the party at my house. My parents are in Italy and won't be pack until the week before start of term. So I have the whole house to myself."
"Thanks a lot……..um how did we go from enemies to having a truce to going to each others house without parental supervision ?"
"Well first I asked you for a truce because I felt bad for all of the years that I teased you and I really wanted to make it up to you. I also wanted to give your look a redo because frizzy hair and books were never in ."
"Malfoy you are an insensitive jerk."
"Wait Granger have you ever had a boyfriend ?"
"Well no I haven't." Why did I just tell him that ?
"Well this makeover will be my way of sealing the deal. You get to benefit from it. So are you in or are you out ?"
