Chapter 9 Flying, Cousins and Ginny
"PUT ME DOWN!" Screamed Hermione,"DAMN IT DRACO PUT ME DOWN!"
Draco was currently carrying Hermione over his shoulder as she refused to go any where near the Quidditch pitch. She screamed for him to put her down and kicked him and hit his back but he would not let her down.
When they arrived at the Quidditch pitch there was a fairly large shed off to the side filled with loads of brooms. He set her down on the ground and made to open the door as she made an attempted to run for it, but was unsuccessful as Draco stopped her.
"Come on now My." Said Draco pulling her into the shed.
"My?"
"Your name takes too long and wastes time." He said as a matter of factly, "Besides you'll love it."
"I am not flying on a broom." Hermione stated crossing her arms over her chest. "Besides you and I both know there is a better broom that I want to ride and it doesn't get used in your quidditch games."
"I know what you are thinking and no we are going to overcome this fear of yours."
"But I am also afraid of snakes. Please you can take me to the zoo and drop me in the snake pit anything just not flying." Hermione pleaded.
"You know Draco that sounds like a very appealing suggestion." Came a voice from the door of the shed. Hermione and Draco looked over to the shed door where they saw Blaise Zambini leaning against the door frame.
"Blaise I thought you were coming on the last week of the holidays, I sent you an owl telling you this."
Yea well I still cease to amaze you now don't I." Blaise said and then turned to Hermione, "I take it you are my new cousin."
"Cousin? As in cousin like we are related." Hermione said. "Wait are you going to be staying here at the manor?"
"Yep."
Hermione turned to Draco, "You didn't tell me. Why didn't you tell me he was coming?"
"Well he kinda wasn't' meant to come till next week." Said Draco.
"I don't mean that, now what am I meant to do when you two go off together?"
"oh by the way this is for you." Blaise said handing Hermione a letter, "Lucius told me to give it to you when I got here and Draco your parents are leaving to go out in half an hour. Who suggested the theatre anyway?"
"She did she has this power over my dad-" Draco said as Hermione let out a high pitched scream, "it's unbelievable."
"OMG" Hermione said.
"Yeah man it's maybe just a phase it'll end sooner or later."
"OMG"
"What is your problem?" Draco asked as he turned to her when she repeatedly taped him on his upper arm. "Can you stop?"
"Right sorry." Hermione said as she stopped tapping him and threw her arms tightly around his neck in a hug.
"Well what is it?" Draco asked again.
"Ginny!" Hermione exclaimed.
"weaslette?" asked Blaise with a hint of excitement.
"she's still talking to even though Harry and Ron blamed me for everything, she said it's not my fault I didn't know who I was and that she says she approves if we do absolutely have to get married cause you apparently aren't that bad looking. OMG" Hermione said reading further, "she also says that her and Harry have broken up, wow I didn't expect that, isn't it great?" she asked now hugging Blaise.
"Yeah it's fantastic." said Draco sarcastically.
"Come on now Draco a little more enthusiasm, I think it is great, I mean for her I mean potter is out of the picture I can go.. I mean she can move on." He said as he shifted under the stare he was receiving from Hermione.
"Now has Blaise been checking out Gryffindors now has he?" asked Draco teasing him.
"Shut it. You and I both know I have liked her for a short amount of time now."
"A short amount of time huh?" Draco said as Hermione laughed at them both.
"Can she come stay? Please Draco, Please you have Blaise."
"What's in it for me?" he said eyeing her then looking at Blaise with a smirk.
"Um… you…" she started to think, "You can do anything physically, sexually and um emotionally to me…anything please!"
"Right then, sorry Draco but I would say yes to that if someone offered that to me on a silver platter." Blaise said.
"Blaise grab a broom I have an idea as what to do for our little silver platter friend here."
"NO NO NO NO NO NO NO! Never no way absolutely not." She started to run for the house when Draco grabbed her in his arms. "Please Draco I have to ask your- dad- stop- please that tickles." She said though laughing.
"We shall fly to the house then." Said Draco as a matter of factly Hermione hesitantly got on the broom in front of Draco and he rose up from the ground and she tightly squeezed her eyes shut.
"Hermione if you open your eyes it will be looking out from a window on the second story." Blaise said trying to give some encouragement. Hermione slowly opened her eyes and then quickly closed her eyes and grabbed a hold of Draco's hand on the broom and the other flew to the hand that was around his stomach.
"Hermione baby, loosen your grip." Draco soothed.
"Ok so maybe it was like being in the tallest tower in Hogwarts but oh well." Blaise said laughing.
"You aren't helping. Come on My open your eyes just look you'll get used to it." Draco said as he started to slowly fly towards the house as she shook her head against him.
They got to the back door step and Draco made sure her feet touched the ground and helped her off his broom while she was still shaking with fear. "Do you want me to come with you." Draco said as he punched Blaise In the arm as he laughed.
Hermione shook her head and turned leaving the two boys alone and went in search for Lucius in his study.
As Hermione go to the long corridor Lucius had happened to come down the stairs with Narcissa by his side.
"Hermione love oh my I haven't seen you since you were little and my have you grown." Narcissa gushed as Hermione blushed and threw her arms around her.
"Narcissa it's great to finally meat you Draco has always spoken so highly of you."
"My Lucius you didn't tell me how charming she was." Narcissa said turning to Lucius, "is there anything we can help you with dear?"
"Well before you leave I was wondering if I could ask you a couple of things."
"Yes?" asked Lucius putting an arm around Narcissa.
"Um is it true Blaise Zambini is my cousin?"
"Yes your mother and his father were twins. They were inseparable really." Narcissa said dreamily as she thought back to when she was in her Hogwarts with the Zambini twins when she was a teenager.
"Oh ok and I was also wondering if my best friend Ginerva Weasley could come and stay till the end of the summer?"
"Well I don't see any problem in it, do you Lucius? The mansion is big enough."
"No, no it's fine dear. I assume she will be able to floo because cissa and I are leaving in 10 minutes by portkey." Hermione nodded. "Well alls set. Is that all you needed?"
"I was wondering if you could do one last tiny favor for me?" Hermione started leading Narcissa and Lucius back up the stairs.
OK well that's another for the collection I am so sorry it has been a while I just had exams and work experience. I pretty much failed most of my exams they went pretty badly but oh well there is always next semester isn't there:D and yeah work experience was fun. Mrs Paddock (I had to work at the school) gave me 20 (Australian) dollars and a box of chocolates so I was more that happy. Until next time xoxox Lauren xoxox
