Gabby, Ginny and Hermione are unpacking their trunks at the Burrow while chatting to each other.
"I am so happy to be able to properly meet your whole family at last!" Squealed Hermione ,folding her shirts into a neat pile in the corner of a draw.
"Yes, and you are lucky that Bill and Charlie are coming to stay this summer as well" explained Ginny ,placing her photo of her family ,without Ron, on her bedside table.
"What about Ronald ,Gin, do you know where he is staying this summer?" Asked Gabby ,placing her make up in a special vanity bag Hermione gave her to keep her things neat.
"No, I have no idea, we don't talk a lot at school ,as you know, so I don't know where he is staying ,but dad wasn't downstairs when we came ,so he may be picking Ron up separately as he knows me and Ron don't get on well" thought Ginny aloud.
Gabby sniggered "You could say that again" There is a bang from downstairs as the front door is opened and closed again.
"That's just the door. Dad must've arrived with Ron" explained Ginny seeing Hermione and Gabby jump at the loud sound of the door closing.
Downstairs with the Slytherin boys
"Nice place ,Mrs Weasley, thank you for having us" thanked Draco ,while Harry sniggered into his hands and Ron tried and failed to keep a straight face.
"Oh it is my pleasure ,boys, Ginny and the others are upstairs in her room and you two shall be sleeping in Ron's room on the camp beds Arthur put up for you two. Now run along!" Ushered Mrs Weasley ,who had no idea that Ginny and Ron didn't get along anymore or that the two boys ,that she was just talking to, are the most feared bullies at Hogwarts. Mr Weasley ,however knew the whole story as Ginny had confided in him exactly what was going on at school every summer holiday.
"Sure thing Mrs Weasley" exclaimed Harry ,grabbing his trunk and starting to pull it up the stairs. He was followed by Draco and Ron. Once they had unpacked their trunks ,which took a long time due to how untidy the boys kept theirs, the boys started to get bored.
"What are we going to do now? A whole 2 hours of boredom until dinner" sighed Draco flopping onto his camp bed and hearing an ominous creak.
"What do you do when you're bored here ,Ron?" Asked Harry ,looking around the room
"I usually annoy Ginny ,because Mum still thinks we get on and are very close twins ,so I can go into her room and not arouse suspicion of tormenting her."
"What're you waiting for then? Come on!" Exclaimed Draco jumping up from the bed and leading the way to the door. When they are in the corridor, they here giggling coming from a room to their right. Draco approaches it and places his ear to door ,trying to hear what was going on. His eyes widened in surprise as Hermione Granger's voice reached his ears. She was evidently still getting over her fit of giggles.
"Yes, quite a looker isn't he ,though not my type ,too pompous, Marie got him…" smiled Hermione ,talking about her muggle friends in London.
"Whose Marie again? The one who you hate or the one who you have known since you were very little?" Asked Ginny ,looking confused and trying to work things out in her head.
"None of them. Marie is the one who I met this Christmas when I went out shopping. You should really come meet my friends. I'm sure you'll get along well."says Hermione hopefully
"I would love to ,Hermione, I haven't got many friends because of Ron ,so making some friends out in the muggle world could really do me some good" perked up Ginny who was inwardly feeling jealous of Hermione for having so many friends while she had none other than Hermione and Gabrielle.
"Yes what about this Friday? We are meeting up anyway and I could tell them that I am bringing along a friend." Asked Hermione ,checking her iPhone calendar.
"Sure" piped up Ginny
"Can I come this time ,sis?" Asked Gabrielle hopefully
"No I don't think so. We usually get drunk on our first get together of the holidays and I don't want you to get drunk in my care Gabby ,why don't you go see Fred and George on Friday?" Asked Hermione tentatively. Hermione had never allowed her sister to come to her parties ,because she knew that if her sister was there, they would not be able to go to the bar or play spin the bottle or talk their excessively girly talks. Gabby was only one year younger that her sister ,but had the mind of a much younger soul and Hermionie knew that and consequently treated her like that. This often made Gabbrielle go berserk ,but Hermione was brave and stubborn and didn't give in.
"But 'Mionie …" Gabrielle started to protest when she heard a stifled giggle for outside the door. The other two heard it as well. Ginny frowned and opened the door harshly only to reveal Draco Harry and Ron standing outside her door ,each having their hands over their mouths trying not to laugh. When they saw Ginny, they burst out into a raucous laughter.
"You!" She said pointing an accusing finger at Harry and Draco.
Hermione came out to help Ginny confront the boys. "What are you guys doing here?"
"Could ask you the same thing ,Granger?" said Draco after recovering from his laughter
"Me and Gabby are staying here for the summer" replied Hermione crossing her ams and looking straight at Draco ,into his beautiful grey eyes.
"Well so are we!" Announced Harry. Hermione saw her shock reflected in Ginny's face as they looked at eachother. The boys surveyed the scene with mild interest as the girls' expressions changed from shock to horror to anger and finally to disgust.
"Well, stay away from us ,you idiots!" Shouted Hermione ,walking back into Ginny's room before Ginny gave the boys a look of disgust and followed her friend back into her room.
"Such sweet-tempered girls" said Draco sarcastically. "Come on boys, we better get something together -we have a war to win!"
"Yes we better" sighed Ron before adding with a laugh "Can you imagine know-it-all Granger getting drunk with a bunch of muggles"
"I get what you mean she is usually very strict and uptight at school. It shows that there is more than meets the eye concerning that girl" exclaimed Draco ,leading the way back to Ron's room.
"Was that just a compliment you gave Granger?" Asked Harry surprised.
"N-No I was just saying that she is worse than we thought" said Draco quickly ,slightly flustered at being accused of complimenting Hermione Granger. He sat down on his bed and after making sure the other two were fully engaged in their pranking plans, took out a small green and silver note book.
Nice to see you again. I am now at the Burrow with Harry and Ron. But guess who else is staying at the Weasleys this summer … The Grangers. No not the whole family. Just the know-it-all and her sister. I thought I was going to have a relaxing summer without my parents breathing down my neck ,but instead of my parents I got landed up with Granger. And ever since she overpowered me at school, am feeling very nervous around her. I know I shouldn't be because that was just one incident and I wasn't prepared ,but I is very shameful being around her and knowing that she can easily overpower me if I get too annoying. The only good thing about having them around is that if I tease them infront of Mrs Weasley then they won't be able to retaliate ,as Mrs Weasley has no idea that we are arch enemies. Fabulous isn't it! Oh and I have one more thing to add. When me ,Harry and Ron were listening at Weaslette's bedroom door, we heard Granger said that she gets drunk with a bunch of muggles at least once every year. You may not find this funny ,because you haven't met Hermionie Granger. She is the most uptight ,studious, law-abiding student in the whole of Hogwarts and the idea of her getting drunk is simply hilarious. I must get going now or Harry and Ron will get suspicious. Bye!
Draco places his book surreptitiously back in his bag before turning to the other two ,who were in deep discussion.
"Are you two plotting against me" pouted Draco
"No pal, weren't you listening" asked Ron and then without a response from Draco launched into their plan of annoying the girls.
"So we are going to go to the muggle reunion get together and follow Granger ,Weaslette and her pals then when they get drunk, see what they do record them and spread it across to all their friends" verified Draco ,taking more notes than he had ever taken for classes.
"To be honest, I think spreading it around the school is a bit lame. We should show it to them and threaten them with sending it every day ,so they are under our control." Asked Harry with a cheeky smile on his face.
"Good idea" commented Draco scratching out a few words.
"This will be amazing! We will have them under our thumb for the whole summer!" Exclaimed Ron ,checking the time. "We better get downstairs for dinner"
The boys made their way down the stairs to see Gabby, Hermione and Ginny ,sitting down at the table and waiting for dinner.
"Hello girls, we didn't know you had come to stay here for the summer as well" smirked Draco in a loud enough voice that easily carried to the kitchen for Mrs Weasley to hear.
"Why should you know ,Malfoy" Hermionie snarled in barely a whisper ,while Harry sniggered silently. The 3 of them sat down opposite the girls. Draco opposite Hermionie ,Ron opposite Gabrielle and Harry opposite Ginny. They glared at each other before Mr Weasley came into the dining room from the kitchen ,closing the kitchen door shut tightly.
"Hello Hermione, Gabby, Draco and Harry!" Announced Mr Weasley smiling at the girls graciously ,but simply nodding at the boys in a curt manner. He sat down next to Hermionie. "Bill and Charlie are coming tomorrow morning, Fred and George will be arriving tomorrow afternoon and Percy is staying at his girlfriend's house for the summer ,so it is just us tonight". At that Mrs Weasley entered the room levitating dishes of scrumptious food and everyone was soon silently eating Their mouths too full to talk. After everyone had finished their main meal desert came to replace the large dishes and everybody started to talk.
Mr Weasley was complaining to his wife about all the work Perkins was making him do ,because he was apparently too ill to attend work for the past week.
Ron and Ginny were surreptitiously arguing: keeping their faces as normal as possible and keeping their voices smooth and normal ,but still arguing. They were angry at each other for not telling each other that they were inviting their friends over.
Gabby was trying to convince Hermionie that she was old enough to go on a night out with her and Ginny ,but Hermione wasn't listening. She was not shifting a toe on this matter ,whatever Gabby threatened to do to her.
Draco and Harry were going through their plan to get embarrassing photos of the girls that Friday and thinking about how they were going to disguise themselves so they were not seen.
"Bed!" Shouted Mrs Weasley over the heads of the kids ,when it was 11:00 in the afternoon. Everybody dragged their feet up the stairs and into their rooms ,flopping onto their beds for a dreamless sleep.
Author's Note: Could you please give me ideas on what you want to take place on the girl's night out ,which shall be what the next chapter is all about. Could you please review because this is my first fanfic and I haven't had any reviews yet ,even though many people have viewed the story.
