Hermione and Draco sat next to each other on the train whispering plans to each other. The train compartment curtains were down to avoid anyone seeing them and reporting the situation back to Draco's father, Lucius Malfoy.
"Ok so your birthday is on June 8th. Two days after that you are going to go into town and then leave for California, America" Hermione says.
"We need to figure out where I'm going in California though, definitely has to be somewhere muggle. It has to be a place that people won't focus on me" Draco says. Hermione thinks and finally comes up with a name. It's the place her family visited when they went to California.
"Morro bay" Hermione says quietly.
"I went there when I was 12, It is all muggle I really don't think there are any wizards or witches there at all. It is a little tourist town where no one will know you unless you want them too."
Draco nods, he likes the sound of this place.
"Ok i'll make sure my father has no connections near there and then I can start researching the place"
"Ok, well what about money" Hermione asks him. Draco already has an answer to this.
"I get 72 gallons as my weekly allowance," Draco says simply. Hermione's mouth opens in shock. His family was rich but she didn't realize just how rich they actually were. To compare 1 gallon is about 7 dollars. This means that Draco was getting a little more than 500 as his weekly allowance.
"I went to gringotts and raised my allowance by 14 galleons so I now get 86 galleons a week. I have already saved 344 galleons which is 2400 in American money." Draco explains.
"If i'm right then by the time I leave I should have about 30,000... that's way more than enough to start a life there"
Hermione can only nod, she is blown away by how much money is given to him a week.
"I hope it's not rude of me to ask, but how did you even manage to spend that much money a week if your allowance is so big?" Hermione asked.
"I saved it. It's all in a Gringotts account under my name. My father has no access but he would be notified if I pulled money from it so I am going to just keep in there till my father is arrested and I can move back to england" Draco says.
"Ok" Is all Hermione says.
The two sixteen year olds sit in silence for a long while before Draco speaks up.
"Thank you, even though I've been such a jerk to you"
"Your welcome" Hermione laughs with a smile.
Draco smiles softly and switches seats so he is once again sitting across from Hermione. He watches as the Brown haired witch picks up her book and starts to read. His mind flashes to a memory from when he was little, the first time he had realized how wrong his father was about muggles.
"Draco waits outside for me while I speak with the owner of this building," Lucius says to an 8 year old Draco.
"Yes father" The little blonde boy says dutifully and watches as his father goes into the shop with black window covers. He looks around and sits down on a bench outside the shop.
"Hello!" says a little girl. Draco looks up to see a little ginger haired girl standing in front of him.
"Hi my name is Draco."
"That's a mighty funny name, but it's cooler than all the other boys' names. My name is Cherry"
"What are the other boys' names?" Asked little Draco his interest peaked.
"Well there's this really annoying boy named R.K in my class. And my brother is named Timmy" Cherry says.
"What do you mean in your class. Witches and Wizards don't go to real school till 11 years old" Draco explains, confused by her.
"Your being silly, witches and wizards aren't real" Cherry says. Draco then realizes his mistake.
'She must be a muggle' he thinks. This confused him even more because his father said Muggles were dirty disgusting creatures who were inferior to wizards. From what it looked like, muggles were no different then magical people.
"Draco what are you doing" His father asks him. Draco backs away knowing he is in trouble.
"I was talking to Cherry" He says, the little blonde boy looks and the ginger girl and swallows knowing that his fathers eyes contain a look of disgust and hate.
"Obliviate" Lucius says and points his wand at the little girl. Cherry blinks and then looks around before running off.
"Why did you obliviate her, we didn't even talk about anything magical" Draco asks.
"I did that because muggle scum like her do not deserve the memory of meeting a pureblood wizard" Lucius says
Little Draco sets his mouth into a firm line and follows his father down the street.
Draco blinks and looks out the window. He hated that memory. It was the first time he started hating his father. Lucius was a very opinionated unfair man. However that was not to dwell on at the moment.
"I just saw the outline of Hogwarts, we should change into our school robes" Hermione says. She lifts her wand and charms a sheet to appear so they could hang it up in between them while they changed into their black school robes. Once the changing was done the sheet was charmed away and they got ready to depart and go to the great hall. But not before making a plan to meet at the black lake at least twice a week.
I just randomly looked up small beachfront towns in California and got Morro bay. It is a cute little place with this giant Rock. Look it up to get a better idea of where some of the story will take place. However most of the story will be in Hogwarts and england. If this story gets enough love by you readers I can make it a series.
