Last week of July... and back in their own bodies ;)
Last time:
Draco rolled his eyes and groaned, "I cant wait till everything is back to normal...at this rate I'm going to have nightmares for the rest of my life."
Hermione and Lucius let out a laugh before settling down to enjoy their meals.
Now:
"It's time Draco." Hermione said as she woke Draco from his sleep.
"It's tooo early to go anywhere." he groaned
"We need to leave before they question where we are going. We will get something to eat while were out."
Draco groaned again, but forced his way out of the warm bed.
"Give me a minute to get ready." he said groggily as he made his way into the bathroom.
Hermione walked to his closet and pulled out some clothes that could pass as muggle since they were going into muggle territory. She rooted through the closet, growling at the lack of choices he had.
"I'm making sure we buy you some muggle clothes when we go out." she shouted through the bathroom door.
"Doing I have too?" he whined as the thought of clothes shopping made him cringe.
"Yes, you have absolutely no selection." she replied, pulling out a pair of black slacks and a plain black tee shirt.
When he came out of the bathroom, he dressed quickly so they could leave before his parents woke up.
She took them to her house and was surprised to see her mother up so early.
"Hi mum." she said as they entered the kitchen
"Hermione, what are you doing here?" she asked before pulling her only daughter into a hug.
"Need to do some running around today and think it would be best to use my car instead of apparating." She moved to the kitchen table and sat down.
"Oh by the way mum, this is Draco Malfoy, the one I'm staying with for the summer."
"I was wondering if you were going to introduce him. Nice to meet you Draco." she said as she pulled him into a hug as well.
"Nice to meet you too." Draco replied before sitting himself down next to Hermione.
"So what kind of things do you need to do today where you would need your car?" she asked as she sat down in front of them.
"Well mum, Draco and I are having a prank war with his parents and it is our turn to get them back. So we thought of a few ideas, but most of the things we need to pick up in muggle stores."
"Oh, I love pranks, tell me, what do you have planned so far?"
Hermione and Draco went into the ideas they had come up with, grinning like they were insane as they explained the different things to her mother.
"Those all sound great, but I have one that may help you too."
"Like what?" Draco asked almost excitedly
"Hold on while I gather a few things." she giggled as she left the room.
Hermione mum came back in about five minutes later with a garbage bag full of hangers and a handful of things that looked straps with funny clips on the end.
"Can you get access to their room?" she asked
"Yes, usually they are in different areas of the manor during the day." Draco replied
"Wonderful, now listen closely..."
By the time her mom finished explaining, Hermione and Draco were nodding enthusiastically, absorbing every detail.
"Thats great mum, who would have guessed you had it in you."
"Yes well, don't tell anyone in case I need to put it to use someday." she laughed
The three sat and talked for a while longer before Hermione started with her good byes.
"tell dad I'll try to see him next time I come here." Hermione said with a tight hug.
"Aren't you bringing your car back here?"
"No, I'm going to take it so I can use it over the summer and bring it back before school."
"Oh, alright, well be careful and have fun." she said as she gave Draco and Hermione a final hug.
Hermione dug through a drawer in a table next to the door and pulled her keys out with a grin.
"Ready Draco?"
"As I'll ever be." he said in a nervous voice having never been in a muggle car.
He followed her out to the garage where she pushed a button on the wall causing a large door to open.
"Mines the black one." she told him as she grabbed the remote for her car so she could close up the garage after she pulled out.
Draco walked over to the side without a steering wheel and tried to open the door when a loud alarm went off. Draco jumped back a few feet with his hands in the air
"Did I break it?" he asked as she laughed and pointed another tiny remote at the car and pushed the button.
"It's an alarm, that way if someone goes to steal it they will hopefully be frightened away."
Draco walked back to the door and opened it, sliding in to the comfortable seat.
"This is much more comfortable then a broom" he said as he swished his butt from side to side.
"It's a Mercedes, it better be comfortable." she laughed
"Aren't those cars expensive?"
"Yes, but my parents could afford it and it was a gift, I had nothing to do with the selection process. Now buckle up so we can go."
He eyed what she was doing so he didn't look stupid. He pulled the seat belt around him and clicked the end into the do hickey. She started the car, checked the mirrors and the gages before pulling out of the garage. Draco sat silently, watching everything she did.
"Oh relax, I'm a good driver" she laughed
"I hope your better at this then with a broom." he laughed nervously.
They drove into town, stopping at a small restaurant to eat before going to the beauty supply store.
"That has to be the weirdest thing I've ever seen." Draco said as he held up a blond hair extension.
"Maybe, but your father is going to think he's losing his hair." she laughed
Their next stop was at a joke store, where they bought five boxes of glowsticks.
"And these are?"
"Glow sticks, the chemical inside is called cyalume, all we have to do is nip the end off and pour it over them without waking them up. These are super strong and will hold their glow for hours."
"They are going to kill us you know?" Draco laughed
"Maybe, but it's worth it."
The final stop was to a grocery store where they bought 10 boxes of plastic wrap.
"Ready to head back tot he manor?" she asked
"lets go." he said while rubbing his hands
They drove all the way back to the manor, while Draco played with all the buttons he could find.
"This one?" he asked pointing to the button on the door
"Makes the window go up or down." she answered
Draco started to play with the button, making the window go about half way down, before Hermione pushed the lock out button, making it impossible to roll the window back up.
"I didn't do it, I swear."
"I know you didn't, I can control your window from my seat." she said with a smile
They arrived back at the manor and shrunk everything so they could put it in their pockets without being noticed. Hermione took the bag of hangers from the trunk and shrunk that down too.
As they walked into the manor, they were alerted that Narcissa and Lucius had left for a few hours by a house elf.
"Good, shall we get to work?" Draco asked
"We shall."
Locking arms, they made their way up stairs and into his parents room.
"You strip off the sheets and I'll get the hangers ready."
Hermione set to work pulling the sheets off the bed, while Draco resized the bag of hangers. They placed hangers all over the mattress and remade the bed in its original condition, making sure the sheet holders Hermione's mom had given her were fastened snugly.
"right then, they rest will have to wait till they fall asleep." Draco grinned as they made their way back to his room to finalize the plans.
That night as Narcissa and Lucius crawled into bed, they were met with hundreds of lumps over their entire bed.
"What the hell?" Lucius asked as he jumped from the bed
He fought with the straps, eventually using his want to rid the bed of them and the hangers. Lucius crawled into bed, grumbling to himself, occasional saying something Narcissa could understand
"...Damn kids...pranks...beauty sleep."
Narcissa couldn't help but laugh and her poor distraught husband.
Some hours later, Hermione and Draco crept into the bedroom, placing a silencing charm on the entire room.
Hermione went to work, using her wand to levitate and move furniture to different areas of the room, while Draco carefully placed the long blond locks of fake hair around his parent head, occasionally wedging a clump into their real hair. Satisfied with that, He set to work on the glow sticks, pouring the contents onto their skin.
"Alright, all thats left is the plastic wrap." Hermione grinned.
They placed a spell over his parents so they wouldn't feel anything while Hermione and Draco wrapped them to their bed with the plastic wrap.
"Only do their feet so they can get out in the morning with only bit of wand waving." Draco suggested
As they finished, they opted to disillusion themselves and transfigure two chairs into make shift beds. They couldn't wait to see the reactions.
Narcissa was the first to notice anything was wrong as she tried to turn over but her feet wouldn't budge.
"Lucius, they did it again." she said without looking at him. He didn't rouse until Narcissa let out a loud scream.
"What...what?" Lucius jumped but fell off the bed leaving his feet firmly stuck to the bed.
"Ahhhhhhhh" he yelled as he noticed his skin glowing bright green.
"I'm green" he shouted
"So am I, get you arse back up here his instant." she shrieked
He did the best he could to get back on the bed without killing himself. Narcissa pulled her wand from her pillow, a flicked it so the lights would come on.
Hermione and Draco were doing the best the could to hide their laughter as his parents panicked.
"Narcissa, look at your pillow, your hair is falling out."
"So is yours Lucius." she cried as she pointed to the large clump hanging off the side of the bed.
"I'll kill them, my hair, my beautiful hair." Lucius yelped as he blasted the plastic wrap from the bed and tried to run out of then room only to find a dresser in his way. Once they looked around, they noticed their furniture moved and wrapped in plastic wrap.
"Please tell me we don't sleep heavy enough that we cant here furniture being moved." Lucius said with a sigh.
He and Narcissa left the room to find Draco and Hermione.
"Come on, out to the hall way, I added a little something extra." Hermione whispered
"What did you do?"
"Greased the floors around out rooms" she replied
They reached the hall in just enough time to see Lucius zip across the hallway, "Merlin's saggy nuts" he yelled as he slid.
Narcissa was stuck in a spot looking much like a baby dear on ice as her feet slipped in all directions.
Hermione tried to hold it back, but she couldn't, she let out a loud laugh and made herself visible again. Lucius was the first to notice her.
"Your mine" he yelled as he slid back the other way, trying in earnest to reach her. Hermione quickly took off running down the stairs, Lucius hot on her trail.
"Come back here, you''ve made me go bald." he yelled as he chased her.
Draco and Narcissa finally caught up in just the right time to see Lucius snag Hermione by the waist and carry her back inside the manor under his arm, grumbling about damn kids...pranks...beautiful hair.
Draco tried to get her away from his father, but Narcissa put a body bind curse on him and took them both into the dining room. Neither could move as Narcissa and Lucius went to work.
An hour later, Hermione and Draco walked out of the dining room with blue Mohawks that were charmed to last two days.
