A/N; Currently eating a pot of Marshmallow Fluff (if you've never tried it, you so should). I call it brain food. As always the response to this story is fab! Thank you!
Enjoy!
As Draco and Hermione walked down the drive they could here shouts from the other side of the wall, rounding the corner they saw just what the noise was coming from. A group of teenagers in shorts and t-shirts and carrying cooler boxes and bags were making their way down the road. Hermione laughed.
"They're with us" she nodded towards the group ahead of them "You'll meet them all later"
Turning left and leaving the group of rowdy teenagers Draco and Hermione headed for the supermarket.
"Any preferences on booze? I've got 3 bottles of Malibu in my bag"
"I wouldn't know, only ever drank Firewhiskey" Draco shrugged
"First time for everything I suppose" Hermione playfully punched him on the arm. Arriving at the shop they grabbed a trolley and headed to the alcoholic drinks. Hermione immediately picked up a 24 pack of Magners, one of Strongbow and a 15 pack of Kopparberg. Walking down the aisle she put in 4 bottles of Disaronno, Test tube shots, 2 bottles of Vodka and a pack of shot glasses. At the end of the aisle Draco went to go to the checkout
"Ah. We're not done yet" Hermione turned up the next aisle and Draco followed. He looked in the trolley
"Bloody hell! How much are we going to drink?"
"It's not much. There's a load of us going. If there's any left we split it and all take some home. There's never usually much left. I'm the one that buys most the drink anyway"
Throwing a few packs of glowsticks and neon face paint into the trolley Hermione turned to Draco, who was suspiciously eyeing up a pack of penis shot glasses and head bands, he picked up a pack and showed them to Hermione.
"Seriously? Muggles actually walk around with cocks on their head?"
"If you're a Hen Night then yes. We're done"
Placing the items on the belt Hermione looked at it all, brow furrowed.
"What?" Draco asked
"Go get three more bottles of Vodka"
"Vodka?" Draco had heard all about muggle alcohol but he'd never actually seen any
"The clear stuff with the red label"
When Draco came back and placed the bottles down Hermione had repacked half the trolley. The cashier put the last few bottle through the till
"Draco can you finish packing this please?"
"That's £328.84 please and do you have any I.D?" Hermione pulled a card out of her purse and handed it over to the cashier, she then pulled another card out and put it in the machine. Draco could see the card she used last time they came shopping still in her purse. Removing the card and taking the receipt and I.D off the cashier Hermione smiled and took the trolley.
"Let's go"
Once away from the cashier Draco spoke, "That wasn't the card you used last time"
"The card I used last time was the card for my summer fund. The card I just used is a card my Grandma gave me. She doesn't mind what I spend the money on but my mother does."
"Does your mum know about Grandma's card?"
Hermione was silent
"Hermione Granger, are you being deceitful?"
"Oh Draco you would be too if she was your mother"
"Hey, I'm not here to judge. I kinda like this rebellious Hermione. Next you're going to tell me you're not a virgin and you smoke"
Hermione was silent again.
"Seriously?" Draco was shocked
"I only smoke socially and not all the time. Anyway, help me get this trolley up the pavement"
Draco could hear music coming from along the beach.
"Looks like the party's started" Hermione pushed the trolley along the deck till she came to a fence, dragging the trolley onto the sand she made an announcement
"I come bearing gifts!" Heads turned towards her and a group ran towards her, screaming. After a few more screams and a few hugs Hermione called Draco over
"Guys this is Draco, he's staying with me for the summer"
One of the boys walking past carrying the drink from Hermione's trolley made a comment
"So, does mummy approve of lover boy?" he winked and carried on walking.
"Shut up Jack. It's not like that, we're just friends" Hermione shouted after him
"Of course" could be heard from behind the group of girls
"Ignore him. He's a twat sometimes. I'm Ali" A redhead stood next to Draco offered him her hand
"Nice to meet you" Draco shook it.
"So how do you know Mione?" she smiled at him
"We go to school together"
"Ah, that explains it" Ali nodded
"Explains what?"
"Why you're so well mannered. I mean, going to a school like that, they must teach you proper etiquette. All the boys here go to Chad's. Definitely not somewhere that teaches proper etiquette."
"Actually, my family are quite well respected. Etiquette has been taught to me from birth, although you wouldn't think it sometimes" Draco laughed
"Well then"
"Hmm. I even know how to ballroom dance."
"Aren't you a dark horse?"
"You have no idea"
Hermione joined them, after being dragged off to meet the new boy she was glad to finally catch up with one of her best friends.
"Draco's just been telling me how he's ballroom dancer" Ali bumped Hermione's hip with hers.
"He's a dark horse isn't he" Hermione winked at the girl next to her
"That's what I said. So apart from holidaying with boys, how have you been?"
"I've been good. I've missed you"
"I've missed you too. If only you'd take that bloody phone with you, you might not miss me so much if you actually spoke to me more than once every 6 weeks"
"I know I'm sorry. But there is absolutely no signal up there"
"So why have you never told me about Draco here?" Ali asked, throwing her arm around Draco
"Never felt the need too"
"You never felt the need to tell me about the hot piece of meat? That you see every day for a whole year"
"Sorry Ali, guess it just slipped my mind" she winked
"ARE YOU READY TO PAR-TAY?!" Jack was standing on the table shouting at the crowd who cheered in response. "I SAID. ARE YOU READY?!"
