Draco's P.O.V.
Draco and Hermione climbed into the back seat as Narcissa got into the front seat. "So Mia are you excited?" Draco asked leaning over to her. "You know I am Drake I can't wait until we get there this will be so much fun." She told him. "So Draco where do you want to show Hermione first the bookstore or the sweet shop?" Narcissa asked turning around to look at the kids with their heads together. "Well mum I was thinking that maybe we could leave that choice up to Mia if that's ok with you." He said as he looked up to meet his mothers eyes. "That is a wonderful idea son I'm glad that you thought of that." Narcissa told them as she turned back around.
"So Mia where so you wanna go first?" Draco asked his best friend as the car pulled up to the curb. "Well Drake I was thinking that maybe we could go to the sweet shop first and then maybe we could look for some games. Then if we have time I would love to go to the book store," Hermione told him shyly. Why is she being shy all of a sudden, she hasn't been shy with me since like the first day of school. Draco thought to himself. "Mia anything that you wanna do is fine with me and Mum just wants us to be happy." He told her as he took her hand to walk through the Leaky Cauldron. "Ok Drake if your sure." Hermione told him blushing as Draco took her hand.
Draco and Hermione had bought sweets from the sweet shop, Draco bought Hermione an wizarding game that he saw her looking at, it is kinda like the muggel game Scrabble. They were on there way to the Flourish and Blots when the happened upon a wizarding family with red hair. Hermione was walking in when the twins from said family pushed passed her. "Hey watch it, Weasley's," Draco spat as he helped Hermione up from the ground. "What are…." "you talking….." "to us?" The twins asked simultaneously. "Yes I would be talking to you. You just knocked over my friend like you didn't even see her." He growled at them. Just then a woman who one would assume is the mother of the twins walked up, "Oh, dear are you ok," she asked Hermione before turning to the twins, "what were you thinking running her over like that I know that I taught you better then that!" Mrs. Weasley yelled at the two boys. "No it's ok I'm sure it was my fault for bei…." Hermione was interrupted by Narcissa walking up saying, "No Hermione dear it wasn't your fault I saw the whole thing those two boys were not watching and just ran you over."
Draco was seething he wanted to defend his best friend but wasn't sure how. He did not yet have a wand so a duel was out of the question. His mother would have a fit if he just up and hit the boys, so that was out, but man he wanted to get back at them some how. Hermione deserved to be treated better then that. He would just have to make sure that when they finally got into Hogwarts that he looked out for her. "Mia do you still wanna go into the book shop?" Draco asked her as he put his arm around her shoulder. "Well Drake I would like to but I think it might just be better if we went ahead and left," she said with her head down. "If that is really what you want Hermione dear then we can leave anytime you are ready." Narcissa said as she laid a hand on both Draco and Hermione's shoulders. Draco held Hermione's hand and tried to convey the fact that he would always be there for her no matter what.
"Let us be off then. Oh.. Molly do see that you teach those two some manners please," Narcissa threw over her shoulder as she walked the children out of Diagon Alley. When they were tucked into the car and on the way back to Malfoy Manner Draco looked over at Hermione, " are you sure your ok Mia, you know that you can tell me?" Draco asked. "Yeah I'm ok just a little shocked I guess that was just so rude." "Hermione you will realize that even in the wizarding world there are some people who just are as wild as animals." Narcissa said turning around and patting Hermione's leg. "Yeah I guess so." Hermione said as she laid her head back against the back of the seat.
They got back to the manner and Draco took Hermione to the kitchen to get a snack as Narcissa went to her sitting room. "So Mia what would you like to do now?" Draco asked her as a house elf set down some sliced apples and peanut butter. "Well Drake I guess what ever you want. We have been doing what I want all day." She told him. "Yes we have but yesterday was my birthday so we had to do what I wanted." He said as he took a bite of apple. "Drake you know I don't like all the attention on me," she whined. "Well its really not all attention just mine." He told her with a smile. Hermione huffed, "Well if you really want to know I would like to read that old book in the den." "Which one?" He asked her even though he was sure he knew. "Hogwarts: A History," she replied. So after they finished their snack Draco took Hermione to the den where they could look at the book together.
The two children sat in a chair together and laid the book in both of their laps. Hermione read just a little faster then Draco. Although when she came across something that she didn't understand she would ask him what it was or what it meant, and he almost always had an answer for her. They spent the entire afternoon reading that book. When it was time for dinner Narcissa sent a house elf to fetch the two. "Young Master Malfoy your mother has sent me to tell you that dinner is ready and waiting in the dinning room," the elf bowed so low its bat like ears touched the floor.
"Thank you, Lizzy, could you tell mother we will be there shortly we need to wash up first." Draco replied. "Yes young Master," Lizzy said with another low bow. They washed up and went to the dinning room.
