The Hogwarts Express was pressing full speed ahead back to London. Hermione was sitting in a very full compartment, full of laughter and discussions of what the summer would hold. Ron, Lavender, Ginny, Luna, Fred, George, Draco, Harry and herself were all planning to spend most of the summer with each other. Every summer for the past four years Hermione had spent most of the days at the Burrow. Her parents lived in a muggle neighborhood of course, but Mr. Weasley had secretly set up a floo network between her house and the Burrow so she could come and go as she pleased between the houses. When they finally made it off Platform nine and three quarters Hermione saw her parents waving at her she hugged each of her friends goodbye and promised to see them all soon. She and Draco made their way over to her smiling parents. Her mother grabbed her in a tight embrace.
"Oh pumpkin we missed you so much. It's so good to have you home."
When her mom released her she throw her arms around her dad.
"Daddy mommy I would like you to meet Draco Malfoy, my boyfriend."
Draco stepped forward nervously.
"It's a pleasure to meet to both. And thank you for letting me stay with you for the summer. It's very kind of you."
He stuck out his hand for Mr. Granger to shake. Then he turned to Mrs. Granger who pushed his hand aside and hugged him.
"Now Hermione you didn't tell us how handsome he was. And so polite too. Now dears come along we must be getting home. Are you two hungry? I thought I might make some baked chicken. How does that sound?"
"That sounds delicious mom thanks."
After they had unpacked and ate dinner they were sitting in the living room sipping tea. Mr. Granger decided now was the time to lay down some rules.
"I'm sure Hermione told you you will be sleeping in the guest bedroom."
"Yes sir she did."
"Good, I have a few rules I would like both of you to follow. I don't want to find either one of you sneaking into the others room at night. It's not appropriate."
Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Also son I don't know what things are like at your house, but we would like to know where you two are. I know Hermione likes to run to the Weasley's and I have no problem with either of you going anywhere just let me know where you are going. I responsible for you now so if you are planning on going somewhere I expect you to tell me too. Is that understood?"
"Yes sir." They said together.
"Alright then. Well it's late and your mom and I have to work tomorrow. Goodnight princess."
Hermione kissed her parents goodnight. When she heard their door close she turned to Draco smiling.
"That went a lot better then I expected."
"Yeah they seem really nice. So tell me what do muggles do for fun?"
"Oh, well we could watch television."
"I'm sorry what?"
Hermione laughed and pointed to the flatscreen hanging on the wall. Draco's was flabbergasted.
"What is that thing?"
"Um.. Well it's a television. You watch movies and TV shows on it. Here see this is a DVD." She held up a copy of Finding Nemo. "You put it in the DVD player and watch it on the television."
Durning the movie Draco asked a million questions.
"Is this real?"
"How does it work?"
"Who makes the movies?"
He went on and on. Hermione tried to explain as best she could. Draco was surprised to find he enjoyed the muggle sort of entertainment. After the movie went off they decide to go to bed, Hermione wanted to get up early and show him around the town.
"Hermione!" Someone shouted over a crowd of people.
Hermione jerked her head up. She and Draco were at a mall. He was fascinated by the idea muggle shopping, but once the got to the mall he had been disappointed. The only things that did excite him was the electronic things like cell phones, TVs, computers, etc.
Hermione felt herself being pulled into a hug. When the person pulled back she recognized her cousin, Tiffany.
"You're back? Mom said you were back at boarding school. Must be great getting out of here every year." Tiffany noticed Draco holding Hermione's hand. Shock appeared on her face. "Who is this Mia?"
"Oh, this is Draco. My boyfriend."
"Boyfriend? What? Since when?" She then turned to Draco. "Hello handsome. I'm Tiffany, Hermione's cousin."
"Nice to meet you."
"You too. Do you go that fancy smart people school Mia goes to?"
"Um.. Yes." He looked at Hermione questionably, she shook her head.
Tiffany seemed desperate to gain Draco's attention. She batted her eyes and put on a sweet smile Hermione knew as her flirty smile.
"Do you live around here?"
"No I don't but I'm staying with Hermione this summer."
"Oh really? That's wonderful. I may just have to come by and visit you."
Hermione felt a serge of jealousy and anger. Tiffany had always been jealous of Hermione ever since they were kids. Hermione was always the smart one and got all the attention from everyone they knew. Tiffany, though not at all smart, was extremely beautiful. She could have her choice of any guy she wanted, but she always seems to want whatever guy Hermione wanted. She would take him just to prove she could. And here she was flirting with Draco. Hermione tightened her grip on his hand.
"Come in Draco we need to get back. Bye Tiffany."
"Wait I'll come with you. I'd love to see Auntie."
"No." Hermione said quickly. "We aren't going home. We are going to visit some of our friends. Bye."
"Oh, bye Mi Mi." Tiffany sneered. "Goodbye Draco. I hope to see you soon." She winked.
Hermione pulled Draco quickly out of the mall.
They walked silently all the way to Hermione's house. Draco could tell something was wrong with her, but he knew her well enough to know that she would tell him when she calmed down and if he questioned her it would make her tempter worse. It took her a couple minutes to calm herself enough to speak.
"I can't believe that trashy good for nothing tramp! Flirting with you when she knew you were mine. I'll tell you one thing we will not be here if she decides to visit!" She shrieked.
Draco laughed. It was clearly a mistake because she turned on him.
"And you! You knew she was flirting with you!"
She felt him wrap his arms around her. She tried to push him away, but he tightened his grip.
"I love you" he said simply.
She felt calmed instantly. She knew she was being stupid, Draco loved her.
"I love you too."
She pulled him down to her so she could kiss him. There was a cough behind them. They jumped apart quickly. Mr. and Mrs. Granger had come home.
"S-sorry daddy." Hermione muttered.
Mr. Granger opened his mouth to speak but his wife cut him off.
"Nonsense. It was just a kiss. Now I'll get dinner cooking."
She shot a fierce look at her husband.
"Can we help mom? Draco has never cooked the muggle way before."
"Of course dear-of course."
It was almost two weeks before they got a letter from one of their friends.
Hermione and Draco,
Hey guys. How's your summer so far? Good I hope. Everything here is fine. I was hoping we could plan a camping trip. This weekend perhaps? I wrote Harry just before I wrote you two. Ron is asking Lavender. So it will be just us six. Let me know if you are in quickly.
All my love,
Ginny
"Do you want to go?"
"Yes, do you think your parents would let us?"
"Of course. Let's go ask now."
They stormed downstairs in a blur of excitement.
"Mom? Dad?" Hermione called.
"In the kitchen dear."
"Oh, hello. I just got a letter from Ginny she wants us to go camping this weekend. Is that okay?"
"Yes dear. Just write us when you reach the campsite. Where will you be going?"
"Umm.. I'm not sure exactly. I'll let you know once we are there."
"Alright."
"Wait a minute, who is going? Will Mr. Weasley be there?" Her father asked sternly.
"Dad please."
"Honestly you treat her like she is five. Go on Mia."
Once they were back in Hermione's room she grabbed some parchment and wrote Ginny.
Gin,
We are in. We'll floo over Friday, okay? Let us know some details soon.
-Hermione
Once she sent the owl back she turned to Draco he had an odd look on his face.
"What is it?" She asked.
"Oh, I was just wondering why your parents and you cousin call you Mia."
She laughed.
"When we were younger my cousins couldn't say Hermione so instead they all called me Mi Mi. Eventually I grew to old for that so my grandmother suggested they call me Mia. It was her moms name."
"That's cute. I like your parents. I wish mine were more like them." He sighed.
"Haven't they written you at all?"
"No, not one word. I wrote my mother before break and told her I wouldn't be coming home, but I never heard anything back."
"I'm sorry love."
They were sitting on her bed so she laid down and put her head in his lap.
"I expected as much. I'd rather be here with you anyway. Honestly I never spent a summer with friends." He paused and began running his fingers through her hair absentmindedly. "Mostly I was cooped up in the Manor. My father was scared I would embarrass him if I went out too much. This may be the best summer I've had and it's just begun."
Hermione looked into his sad eyes. Wishing there was something she could do to cheer him up. She knew he had suffered a lot at the hands if his father.
Suddenly Hedwig flew into the room. Draco detached the letter without moving Hermione off his lap. He read it aloud:
Hermione and Draco,
Has Ginny talked to you about the camping trip yet? She said she was going to write you. Anyway I agreed to go. Sounds like it might be fun actually. I haven't gotten to see Ginny yet Sirius and I went on a brief vacation to France. It was a nice as you told us when you went. I saw Fleur and Gabrielle. They send their greetings. Sirius told me to tell you hello from him and you better visit soon. Remus, as always, is staying with us as well he'd like to see you too. Maybe after we get back from camping you and Draco can come here for a while. We will discuss that more when I see you though. I'll see you both this weekend I hope.
-Harry
Everyone had agreed to go and they decided to meet at the Burrow at noon Friday. They would be borrowing Mr. Weasley's magic tent. Mrs. Wesley was making them enough food to last them a week so they could stay as long at they wanted. Friday morning was hectic for Draco and Hermione they threw a bunch of their clothes together in a back pack, Mrs. Granger insisted on them taking cakes and sweets with them for everyone to enjoy. At five to noon Hermione stepped into the fireplace her arms full of food and her fat ginger cat Crookshanks.
She yelled "The Burrow!"
A huge green flame burst up and engulfed her. She stepped out of the fireplace and saw Mrs. Weasley smiling at her.
"Hello dear." She hugged Hermione tightly.
Draco appeared out of the fire then holding their backpacks and more snacks. Mrs. Weasley introduced herself to him.
"Well now. You two are here now you are just waiting on Lavender." Her tone was colored with distaste. "Ginny, Ron, and Harry are in Ron's room."
"Thank you Mrs. Weasley." Hermione lead Draco up the stairs to Ron's bedroom.
"Hey guys." She said sliding onto the side of Ron's bed. Draco followed her lead. With five people sitting on the bed it was a little full.
"Good, now we are just waiting on Lav. She should be here soon though."
No sooner had the words left Ginny's mouth then Lavender came bursting through the bedroom door. Ron stood up and embraced her. Harry coughed.
"Come on let's get a move on."
"Um.. How are we getting where we are camping?" Hermione asked.
"Dad set up a port key for us. It's this book." Ron said, holding up a ratty old book. "It's leaving at twelve fifteen. I thought it would be best to give us a few minutes to all get here and get ready."
"Good thinking." Harry and Hermione said together laughing.
They all rushed downstairs making sure to grab everything they needed. They said a quick goodbye to Mrs. Weasley. In the next moment they were all up in the mountains. They were at a picture perfect mountain scene beside a crystal clear lake. Since none of them could use magic they had to set the tent up by hand. Once it was up they all went to pick a bedroom. It was a three bedroom tent and they decided each couple would get their own room, when the adults asked they agreed to say the boys stayed on one half of the tent and the girls on the other.
Once they picked their rooms and ditched their bags they all met in the living room area.
"Okay guys I have a secret to tell you all." Ginny began. "Each of the bedrooms has a silencing charm on them so no one can hear anything going on in them."
"That's brilliant." Ron stated.
Hermione was surprised. "Who did the charm?"
"Fred." Ginny admitted.
Lavender giggled and winked at Ron who blushed.
"You guys want to go swimming? The lake looks beautiful." Lavender asked.
They all agreed and changed into their bathing suits. When Hermione made her way out of the tent she saw everyone was already out there. The boys were in the water slashing each other. Draco dove on Harry's back and pushed him under the water. In return Ron and Harry ganged up to push him under. Ginny and Lavender were sitting on a rock - laughing at them - feet dangling in the water. Hermione joined them. They were all laughing and enjoying the sun. Hermione felt something tug on her leg then she was being drug under the water. She pushed her self back to the surface. Draco was floating beside her roaring with laughter.
"Draco Malfoy! I can't believe you did that." She screamed. Throwing water at him.
Ginny swam by her - she decided to get in willingly before being forced. Suddenly Ginny was being lifted in the air. Harry appeared beneath her - she was sitting on his shoulders.
"Anyone up for a game of chicken?" Harry snickered.
Draco was confused. "What's chicken?"
Hermione explained to to him. He was eager to give it a shot.
"Come on, Hermione." He begged.
She laughed and swam over to him. He pulled her on his shoulders - Ron had Lavender on his as well.
They spent hours swimming, slashing, and playing. They all fell into chairs in the kitchen exhausted and starving. Hermione passed everyone a sandwich and pumpkin juice. They ate in silence then decide to part for the night. Each couple went to their separate rooms.
"Draco?" Hermione's voice shook nervously.
"Yes?"
"I'm going to go take a shower.. Would you care to join me?"
Draco was surprised but please at this change in events.
"Meet you in there."
Hermione flew to their small bathroom and removed her bikini hanging in in the towel rack to dry. She climbed into the shower and turned the hot water on. Draco slipped in behind her, he wrapped his arms around her waist and press his body against her. He nibbled on her ear. She moaned softly. She felt him kissing down her neck. He one of his hands up her body to massage her breasts the other hand slipped to her center. His fingers slipped into her wet mound. She threw her head back in pleasure, moaning louder. Her hand reached around to stroke his growing member. He pushed her forward so she was bending in front of him. He pushed himself into her. Her body moved with his taking him deeper with each thrust. They reached their climax at the same time.
Hermione turned to face Draco.
"Wow." She mumbled. "That was incredible."
"I know." Draco took her face in his hands and pulled her to him. He kissed her with intense passion. He laughed and pulled back.
"Maybe we should actually shower now."
Hermione was running shampoo through her hair while Draco washed her body.
"You should know this is the first time anyone has washed me." She giggled.
He smiled.
Hermione woke feeling well rested. She was laying across Draco's chest - he was still asleep. She got up, kissed his cheek and went to the kitchen. No one else was awake she decide to make everyone breakfast. Mrs. Weasley gave them bacon and eggs - that sounded good. The bacon was sizzling and she was working on the eggs when Ginny came out of her room.
"That smells good."
She sat at the table and Hermione brought her a plate.
"Thank you."
"Sure no problem. Did you sleep good?"
"Yes, Harry talked all night though."
Hermione giggled. "Yeah Ron complained about that all the time."
"Ron did what?" Ron yoaned. "What's that smell?"
"Come sit down I'll get you a plate."
Gradually everyone made their way to the kitchen. As they were eating they discussed their plans for the day. It was hard to try and find a plan that suited everyone eventually they decide to hike.
They packed some sandwiches so they could have a picnic at the top of the mountain.
Ron complained the whole way up the mountain about how slow Lavender was at hiking. They bickered all through the picnic.
They were making their way back to the tent when Harry caught up with Hermione and grabbed her arm. He waited until everyone passed before he started walking again.
"Sirius wants you to come home with me and spend a couple days with us. Ginny will be there too of course, but Ron and Lavender aren't coming. So what do you say?"
"I'd love to come. I miss Sirius and Remus so much! Draco is invited, isn't he?"
Harry laughed. "Yes he is. Sirius wasn't to happy a Malfoy was coming or that you were dating him, but he said it's fine. Just don't say anything to Lavender okay? Sirius doesn't like her being over. That's why I pulled you away from them."
Hermione snorted.
"Lav does take some getting used to. I'll admit I didn't like her before either, but she's okay."
They bursted into laughter. It took them a couple minutes before they could control themselves. When they enter the tent everyone stared curiously at them. They ignored the stares. Harry went to sit at Ginny's feet - she was sitting on the couch. Hermione placed herself in Draco's lap. He smiled and wrapped his arms tightly around her. She kissed his cheek and leaned close to ear.
"Come with me to our room." She whispered.
She didn't wait for his response she stood up and took his hand. Pulling him into their room.
"How would you like to visit Sirius and Remus after we leave here?"
"Sounds like a plan to me."
Hermione pushed him down on the bed and climbed on top of him. She straddled his legs and captured his lips with hers. She was unbuttoning his short when a huge black eagle owl flew into the room. Draco shot up. He grabbed Hermione before she fell.
"What is it?" She asked.
"That's my mothers owl." He whispered.
