A Place to Hide
Chapter 2
Adjusting
The next morning she sat up quickly, confused as to where she was. Then she remembered what had happened last night and relaxed. She got up and walked to the closet and put on a pair of jeans and a tank top and a light blue sweatshirt. There was a knock on the door and a house elf came in
"Tilley is to escort mistress to breakfast" the house elf said
"Ok" she responded and followed the house elf to the breakfast room.
"Thank you Tilley" she said when they arrived
"Tilley is happy she could help" and the house elf disappeared. Hermione walked in, she saw Draco and Narcissa sitting at the table, there was only one empty seat for her at the table and it was obviously meant for her. She sat down in the empty chair. Draco and Narcissa were already eating and Hermione grabbed some scrambled eggs and a piece of toast and poured herself a glass of orange juice.
"Good morning Hermione" Narcissa said as she sat down
"Good Morning " Hermione said "Morning Draco"
"Please call me Narcissa or Cissy" Narcissa said to Hermione with a smile
"Okay" Hermione said
"It's a beautiful day out, we should go for a swim in the pool" Draco suggested "and mum is it okay if Blaise comes over?"
"Yes, it is fine" she said "Now Hermione we need to come up with a cover story for you"
"Okay" she said sitting up
"Okay, Mia, that is your name and your mom sent you here for a visit and has been a family friend for years"
"Okay" Hermione said smiling "sounds good"
"Good" Narcissa said "I believe that's all"
They finished up breakfast in silence.
"Mia, do you want to go for a swim?" Draco asked her once they had finished.
"I'd love too" Hermione responded "I'll go get a swim-suit on"
"I'll come and get you" he responded. Hermione went upstairs and put on a purple bikini and a pair of jean shorts. She heard a knock on the door and she opened it
"You ready?" Draco asked when she opened the door
"Almost, I just have to get sunglasses and we can go" and she grabbed the sunglasses that were on her dresser "Now I'm ready"
"Let's go" he said and grabbed her hand and led her outside.
"Oh wow, your yard is beautiful" she said
"Yes, mum hired a lawn service to take care of it" he replied embracing her.
"Hey Draco" Blaise Zambini called out as he came out the sliding door "Who's this?"
"Hi I'm Mia" Hermione said introducing herself "My mom sent me here for the summer, she's been friends with for ages"
"Oh, well it's nice to meet you" Blaise responded shaking her hand
"One" Draco said and Blaise nodded
"Two" Blaise said smirking
"Three" they said together and they pushed Hermione into the pool laughing. She crossed her arms and pouted, the boys laughed harder
"Sorry Mia, we do this to everyone I introduce to Blaise by the pool" Draco said still laughing
"And how many people is that?" Hermione asked, climbing out of the pool and grabbing a towel and her wand, muttering a quick spell and drying her clothes.
"Six" Blaise responded once he had stopped laughing
"Well, I'm relaxing" Hermione said as she lay down in a pool chair and picking up a magazine. The boys went swimming as Hermione sat by the pool. Around lunchtime Tilley brought out some sandwiches and lemonade for them to eat.
"Lunchtime" she called and they hopped out of the pool. Hermione handed them towels and they dried off then sat down and ate.
