C is for Clown:
Hermione POV
"Come on Draco it would be fun!" I tell him as he begins to walk off
"Im not going to some freak show" he scowled at me as he talked I pouted "Please? "
"No 'Mione! Im not going!"
"But I already bought the tickets!"
"Then take Ginny" He pleaded
"She and Harry are on their honeymoon remember?" I rolled my eyes "We were at their wedding 3 days ago"
"Oh ya…" he sighed in defeat
"Fine. Under one condition…" he paused
"Which is?"
"Promise me there will be no clowns"
"Colwns? Really?"
"Ya. What of it…"
"I hate them" he shivered
"Why there harmless! And funny!"
He closed his eyes and shook his head
"The circus is retarded like that Mione. They have creepy guys in makeup and giant shoes riding miniature bicycles and throwing things at eachother" he scowled again
"Draco Lucius Malfoy!" I pretended to scold him "Are you afraid of clowns?"
"Wha- No!" he cleared his throat "No, of course not"
"Draco when we got married you promised me you'd never lie to me. So tell me the truth." I smiled "Are you or are you not afraid of clowns?"
He looked away "yewofs" he mumbled
"What was that honey?" I asked sweetly
"Fine! You win. I don't like clowns. But im not afraid of them" he crossed his arms. This usually ment the conversation was over because her was done talking. I laughed and kissed him on lightly on the lips. "Just be up and ready by 7:00, Were going to the circus." I added before I went on to the shower.
~The next day~
As I woke up the next morning I jumped out of bed and started to get ready. Much to my surprise Draco was allready up and preparing for the trip. He was wearing a plain white Tee and some jeans 'hmm' i thought 'maybe he could pose as a muggle' not that id ever tell him that. I smiled as i walked over and kissed him goodmorning.
"Well hello sunshine" I winked at him
"Hmm..." he replied. Of course he was going to be mopey!
"Draco?" i ask
"Yes love?" he answered
"Are you mad at me?"
"No! Why would i be?"
"I don't know, maybe because im forcing you to go to the circus?" I was slightly afraid of his reply so i started twiddling my thumbs. He aparently noticed and imediatedly imbraced me
"Com on 'Mione, its not gonna be that bad im sure" He added with a smile as he kissed me and pulled me over to the fireplace where we floo'd to the circus.
I grabbed our tickets and sent Draco to get some popcorn and lemonade. We both met at our seats which happened to be right up front. As the show began and the lights dimmed a pair of acrobats tumbled out into the ring. They did the most amazing routines. Then came the lion tamer. And by this time Draco was smirking. He was enjoying himself as was I. After the lion tamers came the elephant. A singing elephant. Well technicaly he played with his trunk. Draco was forcing himself not to smile. And I was flat out beaming. But i was starting to worry because after the elephants came the horse acrobats and then... the clowns. I can't believe he hates them. There so funny and adoreable! And how they contort into those tiny cars is beyond me! But i love it. My mum used to bring me every summer until they stopped coming to our town. I think i was 9 the last show i went to.
Oh no here they come. Now Draco was scowling as the others began to cackle at the sight. There was a Leaning house suspended into the air and a clown lady (which im pretty sure was really a man) was waving her arms in the burning building. As the others came in firemen costumes, one sprayed the other in the face with a hose and Draco rolled his eyes. I laughed and he looked at me incredulously. I then snuggled up to his arm and he relaxed...slightly. They finally got the fire out and calmed down the woman they realized she was about 300 lbs and she jumped into the other clowns arms from below he fell and she landed on top of him! I almost fell out of my seat! Then it was over soon after. After that the ring leader came out and did some magic which me and Draco both thought amusing. We knew he was actually a real wizard and recognised a few of the "tricks". Right at the end he chose a "subject" to be "hypnotized" luckily he didnt choose Draco or he might have hexed him into next week! So after this even Draco was smiling. We then heard spooky music and POOF! a clown poped right up in my face and scared the S*** out of me! I screamed and Draco lost it he laughed so hard i thought his lungs would colapse. I didnt think it was funny so i smaked his shoulder. By this time he was red in the face and holding his ribs. I had my arms crossed and then he said "Your were right 'Mione" i gave him a confused look "Clowns aren't scary they're freaking hilarious"
