Draco got into the bathroom, stripping down and looking at his body. Pail, skinny, yet somehow muscular. He turned around and looked back into the mirror checking out his butt, and his tattoo. He was hoping to get another, but it could wait. He then turned back around, and examined his face. Plenty of holes from all of the peircings he took out and that one labrae barbell still in and the ones in his left ear, which were 10 gauges, heavy metal with a bar connecter. He then stuck out his tongue and realized that he was really wanted it pierced. He always had, he was just too much of a chicken s hit to get it.

He then stopped looking at himself and turned on the water for a shower. As the water poured over his scarred body, he began looking at his arm, wanting to cut its' flesh badly, but how he was going to get his knife back, he was clueless about. Then he thought of something that just might work. He could just bug her until she gave up. He smirked in approval, finished his shower, held the towel around his waist as he waddled back into his room to grab his toothbrush and his lebrae ring. He went into the bathroom to brush his teeth, and change the metal in his chin from the spiked barbell to the thin ring. He though it would be more appropriate for meeting Grager's grandparents. He then waddled to his room once more and let the towel drop to the floor. He pulled on boxers, and loose fitting jeans, but not too loose. Then, he put on a green t-shirt with a dark grey button-up shirt over it, buttoning it up except the top three. He grabbed the comb out of his bad and parted his hair to the side, making look elegant, yet casual. The silvery locks shined it the light, and Draco smirked in satisfaction, his lip ring accenting his lip perfectly.

He then walked out into the living room, where the adults were chatting and laughing every now and then. He was completely silent until Hermione's mum realized he was there.

"Oh, hello, darling! Are you feeling better?" she asked while setting a cup of tea onto the table.

"Yeah, thanks. Listen, I'm really sorry about what happened. I bet you are all really freaked out, but it's just how I react, and I'm sorry."

"Oh, it's okay. It's in the past now," said Hermione's dad, then changing the subject, "Uh, this is Denise, and Charlie, my in-laws. Mum, dad, this is Draco. He's a friend of Hermione's from school."

Draco gave a shy wave and quietly said 'hi' as they nodded when they're names were told.

"Uhh, where's Hermione?" she asked randomly.

"She's in her room, hunny." her mum said.

Draco walked up the stairs and tapped on her bedroom door, and after a few seconds, it opened and Hermione's face appeared through the space between the door and the doorjam.

"Mal-uhh-Draco! Hi." she said opening the door, letting him in and gesturing a hand to the bed, giving him permission to sit down.

"'Ello, Granger." He said as he sat down. "What do you want me to do to get my knife back?" he asked calmly.

"Nothing. You aren't getting it back. That's final. We're going Christmas shopping later, in case you wanted to know." she said, peering out the window at the feathery-like snow that was still falling lightly. 'Oh my god, he just keeps hotter!' she thought. The rip ring he put in really tickled her fancy, and the way he was dressed with the clean-cut hair style. She could almost swear he was TRYING to give her a heart attack.

"We are?" he asked wondering what to get Blaise and the rest of his Slytherin friends, "What do you want for Christmas?"

"Nothing from you." she said, flattered, but trying to hide it, "It'd feel weird if you went out and bought me a gift."

"So? It's Christmas! I'm supposed to give you something."

She smiled lightly, so he wouldn't see it, but she failed in trying to hide it.

"I see that smile!" he said walking over to her.

"So what?" she said stubbornly.

"Don't cop an attitude, Granger, or I just might have to punish you." with that sentence, he gave her bum a tight squeeze, and left the room. He would be back later just to piss her off, and he WILL get his knife back, even if it meant hanging around Potty and Weasel just to bug her at school.
