CHAPTER 2

Hermion's POV:

I started shifting my clothes from my suitcase to the wardrobe. We made a partition in the wardrobe to separate our clothes. I can't believe I've to share a wardrobe with this man. Not only a wardrobe, I've to also share the bathroom and the bedroom. Well the last one's not happening at any cost.

The day went pretty uneventfully, both of us busy shifting our stuff. I had dinner at Ginny's house, but came back early. I needed a good sleep before the first day of college. I bought new bed covers and put them on the bed. I'm sometimes picky about arranging my bed, but today I made it really soft and comfy. Then all of a sudden, Draco (such a weird name) came from nowhere and jumped into my bed.

"What the hell are you doing?" I asked angrily. "Get up and let me sleep."

"Who asked you not to sleep? Sleep here, beside me. It's a double sized bed, anyway." Draco said teasing.

"I'm not sleeping with you." I said fiercely.

"Okay, then don't. Sleep on the floor."

"I'm also not sleeping on the floor either. It's my bed, now get up from here."

"Your bed? Like you have your name on this bed?"

"I don't have my name, but I made this bed, and so I'll only sleep here."

"I'll not get up. Do whatever you want to do."

"Alright. Let's play a game."

"Game? Why?" he said laughing.

"To determine who'll sleep in the bed."

"What kinda game?"

"So basically, I'll write your name and my name separately on two pieces of paper and fold them. Then I'll randomly pick any one of them. And which ever name the paper comes up with, he or she will have the bed okay?"

"Okay! I've no problem with it. Cause I'm gonna win anyways."

"We'll see that."

I quickly wrote my name on both the papers and folded them. Then I took them to Draco.

"Wait, for a moment." He said. "I'll pick the paper."

"All right. As you wish."

He picked one of them and quickly opened it.

"Who's name is it?" I asked smiling.

"Hermione…" He mumbled. "It's yours." He said in a louder voice.

"See. Now get off the bed and let me sleep." He glared at me.

"What are you staring at? Go away."

"Fine, I'm going, I'm going." He slid off the bed angrily.

After he went to sleep on the floor, I peacefully went to sleep. But the peace was not for long. Soon, he started snoring. I tried to cover my ears with the pillow, but that didn't help. Finally I went up to him.

"Wake up." He didn't even move.

"Draco wake up." I pushed him.

"Yeah." He said yawning.

"What are you up to? Can't you sleep quietly?"

"When I lie on the floor, the cold gets to my bone and I start snoring."

"It's less like a snoring and more like an explosion. I can't sleep in so much noise. I need some peace to sleep."

"So what can I do? Go and sleep on the roof. If I've to sleep on the floor, I can't help my snoring."

"Fine! Go and rot in the bed. I need peace, not a bed to sleep! Now go!"

"Okay!" He suddenly became very happy and jumped off the floor.

And there, he happily went to sleep on the bed and now I've to sleep on the floor. Ugh!


Draco's POV:

"Why did you come to my home, at 8 in the morning?" Harry asked. "You know, I'll be leaving soon."

"Well, I had nothing else to do." I said bluntly.

"Go and quarrel with your wifey then!"

"Fake wife." I corrected. "Why do you keep on saying wife?"

"Well, today she's your fake wife. Who knows, may be tomorrow she'll be yo're real wife."

"She? And my wife? It's not happening in a million years, if I don't get electric shock and get mad or something."I said laughing. "Anyways, she's in college, so I can't fight with her. "

"So, how are you adjusting in your new home."

"We're not adjusting. It's impossible to adjust with her. At least I have the bed."

"Bed?"

"Well yeah. So last night we were fighting about the bed and we played this stupid game to decide who'll have it. And somehow she won. But I didn't give up. I pretended to be snoring and when she asked I told her, it happens whenever I sleep on floor. And the she had to give me the bed." I explained.

"Wow!" Was all Harry was able to say. "Anyways, did you get the job you were talking about?"

"Oh yeah, I forgot to tell you. I got the job and it'll start from tomorrow."

"Nice!"


From Harry's home, I went to the market to buy some cereal, milk and vegetables and stuff. I didn't have any food at home. I also bought a small drawer to keep my belongings. Of course I don't want that witch to touch my things! After buying all these, when I returned home, I realized Hermione (I learned her name last night from the cheat!) was already back. She was sitting in the living room, reading a magazine or something. A beam of the sunlight came directly from the balcony and fell on her face. Her hair was tied into a pony and the bangs fell on her brown sparkly eyes. They looked like a pair of Citrine on her pale skin. I've never noticed before, but she's actually very pretty.

"What are you staring at?" Hermione asked looking up from her magazine.

"Wha…whatever I'm staring at, why do you care?" I tried to not give her a clue, that I was looking at her. "You don't have to worry. You're not that pretty, that I'll be staring at you."

"Gosh, I was only asking." She said angrily. "And what did you say? I'm not pretty? How dare you to say that."

"Yes, I'm very daring, so what will you do?"

"Nothing." She looked kind of werided out. "What's wrong with you? Why are you quarreling out of nowhere?"

"I'm quarreling? You started it." I'm such a bloody fool. She was in a good mood and I completely ruined it. "And…why are you sitting in my couch?" I tried to change the topic.

"Who said, it's your couch? Does it have your name?"

"So now you're repeating my dialog to me?" I said. "Don't you have any of your own dialog? Go and find something of your own."

"Stop trying to avoid the actual point that it doesn't have your name and that it's not yours."

"Yes, it has my name."

"Where?"

I took the pen from her hand, and wrote my name on the couch.

"Here," I said pointing to the place, where I just wrote my name. "See, it says Draco."

"You….you just wrote….that's cheating."

"No, it's not. You asked me whether I have my name on it, and here I have. And that's all that matters." I said smiling. "Now, get up."

"I won't." she said in firmly.

"Don't make me."

"What will you do? Try out anything, but I'll not get up." I smiled.

I slid my one hand around her neck and the other under her legs and then I lifted her up. She's as light as a feather.

"Hey….. what are you doing? Put me down." She said angrily.

"Why, didn't you just ask me to do anything to get you off the couch? I'm just doing that." I carried her to the bedroom!

"Put me down. You're crossing your limits. We're only in a fake relationship." I entered the bedroom and put her down on the bed.

"I know what you're thinking. Just so you know, that if an earthquake happens now, every one perishes except you and if I've only two options to live as a virgin for my whole life or marry you. Then I'll choose virginity over you!" I stormed out of the room.

"Waaa…waaa. Waa…" Hermione mocked of crying. "Thank god! I'll be saved." She rolled her eyes.

"Oh! Another thing." I came back.

"What?"

"You're looking ravishing in this skinny jeans." I teased her.

"Ugh! I'm gonna kill you!" She screamed on the top of her voice. And I walked out of the room, controlling my laughter and pretending that nothing has happened. It's so fun to tease her, I thought to myself.


Hermione's POV:

"Bye, thanks for the ride, Lavender." I said as I got down from her car.

"No problem, bye." Lavender shouted back.

"Hey, what's up?" I heard Ginny's voice.

"Hi, what a nice surprise. Let's go to my home."

"Yeah, let's go." Ginny said. "So, you already made friends in college? Not bad." She said, as we entered our apartment.

"Yeah, there are nice people at college."

"True. Where's Draco?"

"At his job, probably." I said irritated. His very name irritates me.

"Oh! I almost forgot. I've thought of a job for you."

"Really? What job? I really need one."

"Well, not really a job, but I know a person, who can give you one." Ginny said. "Do you know, Mr. Granger, not your dad, the other granger, the famous business man?"

"Oh yeah, I know him. Granger pharmacy, Granger Industry…he's the manager of all these, right?"

"Yeah! I've heard that he and his family just moved in this city."

"So, how can that help me?"

"So, you should see Mr. Granger and maybe he would give you a job."

"But, why will he ever give me a job?"

"Well, first you guys have the same surname, so maybe he'll give you the job out of sympathy and you and his wife's name are same too."

"Really? His wife's name is Hermione. That's so co-incidental."

"I know, right."

"Hopefully, I'll get the job."


Next day, I went to see Mr. Granger. He had a big ass house. I knocked at the door. A middle aged fat lady opened the door. She's probably his wife.

"What do you want?" She asked me.

"Hello, ma'am. Can I see Mr. Granger?" I said nervously.

"Mr. Granger, Why?" she said protectively.

"Umm…actually I had something to discuss with him. Can I please see him?"

"Oh! Mr. Granger is busy, come some other day." And she slammed the door on my face.

"Rude woman! I'm not giving off so easily. I'll wait for till he comes out of the house." I said to myself. I sat in a nearby chair.

AFTER SOME TIME:

I saw a car coming.

"Maybe, this is Mr. Granger." I said excited.

But all my excitement ended, when I saw a ginger haired guy coming out of the car.

"No, this is not Mr. Granger, he's not so young." I said to myself.

The guy came up to me or maybe to the door, cause I was sitting near the door.

"Hello." He said.

"Hi." I said, kinda weirded out.

"Do you know where' the CD-player?"

"CD-player?"

"I'm here to repair it." He smiled. "Don't get me wrong, I'm not a mechanic. I own a store. I'm just here to check it."

"Maybe, it's inside." What's wrong with this guy? How will I ever know, where the CD-player is? Like I'm the daughter of Mr. Granger. I thought to myself.

He made another attempt to talk to me, but I looked away. Then he went inside the house.

AFTER 5 MINUTES:

"See you!" The red haired guy said.

"Huh?" I looked up from my magazine.

"I said…see you." he repeated awkwardly.

"Yeah…see you."

"Wait, can you replace this one?" I heard a deeper voice, coming from inside. And there he was, Mr. Granger came out of the house. "Shoot, he left." He mumbled to himself.

"Excuse me?" I said.

"Yes, how can I help you?" said.

"Umm…I wanted to meet you. But ma'am said that you're very busy."

"Oh no. I'm not busy at all. What is it?"

"Actually, I've come here looking for a job. Here are my certificates." I handed him a folder with all my certificates.

"Nice, nice." He said while going through the folder. "So, what kind of job do you want?"

"Anything will do."

"Anything? Then I need a security guard now. You don't need any certificates for that. Do you want that job?" I looked at him weirdly. "I was only kidding." He started laughing.

He was laughing so hard, that I started to laugh too. We were both laughing when his wife appeared.

"Hey, haven't you left yet?" she said to me.

"Mr. Granger was…" she cut me off.

"He always talks nonsense. Now go."

"But.."

"I saw, just go. Find some other job." And she pushed me out of the house.

"What's wrong with her?" I said to myself. "Now where will I get another job?"


"Hey do you want a job?" Draco said to me.

"Yes." I said excitedly. "But…why do you care?" I suddenly realized that it maybe one of his tricks.

"I DON'T! I just saw an advertisement in the newspaper from a company saying that they need an employee or something, so I thought of telling you."

"Where's the newspaper?"

"Here." He handed me the paper from his hand. "Thanks."

"Whatever" he rolled his eyes.

What's the matter with him? He was nice to me first, and then it's my turn to be nice, he responds rudely. Stupid creature!

"Anyways, can I sleep in the bed, today?"

"Why are you going over this again?" Draco asked. "Look, I've a hell ton of work to do, so just don't bother me."

"I don't wanna bother you. I need the bed, just for today….please." I pleaded to me. I tried to look cute, so that he'll be awed out, but considering the fact that he hates me so much, I don't how much it worked.

"Why? Is there any good reason?"

"I have a test tomorrow and I need a good night's sleep….so please…just for today." I made a puppy dog face.

"Fine." He looked away from my face and went out of the room, soon after.

Weirdo! Good thing, at least I have the bed, for today!


So the next day, I went to meet the manager of the company, Draco told me of.

I entered his room. It was well furnished, with a couple of costly couches, glass tables, and flower vases with flowers in them and in the middle was this huge table, with a computer and nothing else. The manager was sitting on the revolving chair on the other side of the table, with his back towards me.

"Excuse Me," I said politely. He turned around.

"Oh shit." I said to myself. It was the same ginger haired guy I met at Mr. Granger house the other day! "Why am I always the one to get such bloody surprises." I said, still in a low voice.

"Hi." He said with this silly smile on his face.

"H..hi" I said uncomfortably.

"Why did you take the trouble? I told Mr. Granger to call me and I'd replace the Tv…."

"Actually, I came here for a job." I said. "You gave an ad in the newspaper, didn't you?"

"Sorry, I don't understand." He said confused.

"Umm…I really need this job."

"This job? What are you talking about?" He said, still confused. "Why does Mr. Granger's daughter need a job? Your father is rich enough to afford whatever you want. Actually much more than that!"

"I think…there's a misunderstanding." Holy crap! This guy is again thinking me as Mr. Granger's daughter.

"Ooooh….now I get it." He started laughing. "I'm an individual, I have my own identity, is that what you wanna say?"

"N…" I tried to say 'no' but he cut me off.

"Don't worry, I like that…I like that attitude." He trailer off. "It's a nice thing. I appreciate that you want to be independent."

"N…" I tried to talk to him again, but he cut me off.

"Look, if you want a job, I'll definitely give you one. But what will I be able to pay you? I mean, what is $12000 to you?"

"$12000…" I said astonished. That's a lot.

"I know it's less…but this is business… Oh my God, I didn't even ask to sit you, come on sit."

"Sure." I took a sit.

If you speak the truth now, you'll blow this last opportunity of job that you've got. Better keep you're mouth shut!

"What are you thinking?" He asked.

"Nothing! I agree to work at $12000." I said slowly.

"Great! Then you can join from tomorrow." He smiled. "Your name?"

"Hermione Granger."

"Hermione….nice… nice name."

"Thank you sir."

"Ron. You'll call me Ron." He said. "We'll be friends, okay?"

"Okay Sir."

"RON!" he corrected.

"Okay Ron!"


"Draco! Draco!" I yelled at him as soon as I entered the apartment.

"What? Why are you shouting?" he asked calmly.

"Where is my phone?"

"How am I suppose to know?"

"You are the one, who's suppose to know."

"Too bad. I don't."

"You're so stupid! So do you remember how I slept in you're bed yesterday?" he nodded. "So you left you're phone on the bed and I have yours and the one that was on the table was mine."

"So basically, our phone got exchanged?" he asked.

"Yeah. And you know what, I got disqualified from the test, because you're stupid phone started ringing in the middle of the class." I said angrily. "Can't you just keep you're phone with yourself?"

"Wait, really? Sht, maybe my boss called me." he said, suddenly agitated. "Give me bak my phone?"

"You care about you're boss calling you and not that I got disqualified?"

"Yes, why should I care about you're stuff. Now give me my phone."

"You're so mean." I handed him his phone and stormed out of the room. And then I came back.

"Why did you come back, again?" He asked.

"I just wanted to say that, I'll take revenge of that. I'll definitely take revenge."

"I'm scared." He mocked.

"You better be."
