A/N: ba ba ba na baaaaa the long await chapter with hermione's explosion!! Please review!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ~Slytherin_Smartass~
"Who in hell do you think you are? MERLIN?" the tone she had in her voice along with the look she was giving him told him to zip it and to not reply until she told him to.
"Well?" she questioned, absolutely livid. He nodded a no, afraid that if he had voiced it his voice would show how truly afraid he was of her at this very moment.
"Well then what the hell I look like a FREAKING HOUSE ELF TO YOU!? Do you think that it's my job to run to AUSTRALIA to pick you up a FUCKING BOTTLE OF HAIR GEL!" at this point Hermione was flat out screeching, and Draco was trying to squish himself into his chair in a desperate attempt to disappear. He once again nodded his no and closed his eyes when she looked at him for a response.
"DRACO MALFOY HOW OLD ARE YOU TWO!? CLOSING YOUR EYES AND SQUISHING INTO THE CHAIR WILL NOT MAKE ME GO AWAY NEITHER WILL IT MAKE YOU DISAPEAR! STRAP ON A PAIR AND FACE ME LIKE A REAL MAN WOULD! ARE YOU AFRAID OF A 5'4" WITCH THAT WEIGHS 105 POUNDS!? REALLY AM I THAT SCARY?" at first he nodded a yes but then when her lips twitched into a growling shape he quickly changed his answer to another no.
But the witch that had been so terrifying just a moment before was already starting to let her guard down, probably because of the scared expression his face held. Without further notice she fell to the floor and was reduced to nothing more than a crumpled mess, which was starting to sob.
Draco was about to get up to see if she was ok, when she turned to face him. Teary eyed she asked "Malfoy why Australia? Couldn't you have picked America or Canada or Iceland? Did it have to be the one place I resent the most, the one place I let the lives of those who I loved the most slip from my grasp." And then promptly broke out into another fit of sobs.
"What were you thinking when you decided to sent me there?" she looked up for an answer, but as he was about to try to explain her anger seemed to surge back and she was on her feet yelling.
"No let me think about this for a second, of course typical Malfoy, YOU WERNT THINKING!!!" she seamed to yell out every thought that came to her mind. He was able to zone her out for a moment before she started screeching at the top of her lungs.
"Y- You Foul loathsome despicable repugnant nasty vile odious obnoxious spiteful malicious vicious cruel malevolent wicked horrid nauseating ghastly little cockroach" at some point before this he had stood up and she had approached him, and with every adjective she hammered her little fist against his chest, obviously not even being able to hurt him.
He as a male did the only thing he could think of he wrapped his arms around her, at first he felt her stiffen and he thought that maybe he had made the wrong move and that he had just fuelled her anger. But she soon melted into his embrace sobbing lightly in to his chest, taking this as his chance to explain to her what had happened.
"I didn't know, I swear on it granger. No one knows about your parents, had I known I wouldn't have done that even a foul horrid nauseating ghastly little cockroach wouldn't do that to a person knowingly." He had said the adjectives that he could remember her using in an attempt to humour her.
"Promise?" came a small weak voice.
"Promise" he established.
"And?" she pushed.
"I will not treat you like a house elf; I will pick up my own gel." He finalized.
But no, that was not enough for her, he knew what she wanted to hear, but he would no degrade himself low enough to say it. But if she kept giving him those teary puppy dog eyes he might just let it slip "And?" she asked a little more forcefully this time.
"Im sorry Granger and I will attempt to be civil towards you, happy now?" he asked quite mad at himself for sinking low enough to apologize, but come on you could drown in her big brown eyes, what man can resist the eyes and the pout.
"Nope, my name is Hermione and you will not try to be civil, YOU WILL BE CIVIL" she said the last bit more forcefully. He simply nodded and then glanced towards a clock on the wall noting that they were already five hours late and there was no point in going in five hours late now was there? He decided that the company could live without them for a day.
"Ok as my way to apologize Granger, im going to take you out to supper, so go run along and get all dolled up god knows your gonna need some time" he said as his signature smirk clawed its way onto his face.
"Im only going to tell you once more its Hermione, and pick me up at 6" she said as she stepped into the fireplace and dropped the floo powder.
He didn't know that she was planning on getting at him for that last comment insinuating that she was ugly.
She stepped into the shower, washed quickly since she had showered that morning, stepped out and wrapped a towel around her body and made her way into her closet. She riffled through her dresses and finally came across the perfect one. It was a black dress with a large v neck, dipping far too low yet still somehow not looking trashy, it was silk and hit the floor. There was a slit that raised to mid thigh on the left side and the bust was cinched with a row of silver beading, that was also visible in other places accentuating the dress.
With this as her choice she made her way over to her cosmetic vanity to do her hair and makeup, for her hair she simply cast a drying charm and popped it up into rollers that would in turn make her hair wispy and hang in loose curls. The makeup was a little more complex then what she would wear day to day. She did a Smokey eye affect with a pinkie red lipstick.
She slipped into the dress, slipped the rollers out of her hair, stepped into a pair of black stilettos and finished off the look with a silver clutch.
Look out Draco Malfoy, were the last thoughts that went through her had as she walked to answer the door that had just been knocked upon a few moments prior.
