Chapter 6: Suiting Up

            Hugging my coat tighter in the attempt of gaining some warmth Draco finally broke the silence…

"Are you willing to do anything to get back at Potter?"

"I not only want to get back at him, but I wanna kill him for making my life hell," I answered truthfully.

"But you didn't answer my question Hermione," he said looking at me.

"Which was…"

"Would you do anything to get rid of him," he asked again. I then looked at Draco staring into his stormy gray eyes, 'He has really changed.'

"Of course I'll do anything," I said still looking into his eyes.

"Can I hold you to your word on that," Draco said smirking.

"Sure." Suddenly I felt like I just sold my soul with that one smirk of his. What was he scheming in that mind of his?

            We kept walking through the snow. It was getting colder by the minute, or maybe it was just me. But it definitely was getting colder. I started to shiver and shake from the cold, and then Draco noticed my pathetic attempts to get warmth from my coat. Without a word, he put his arm around me so that I would be inside his coat. He was actually sharing his coat with me? Still walking I cuddled up to him; he was so warm. I felt his body warmth spreading all over my body it was an alluring sensation. Alluring? What was wrong with me? I felt so safe here inside his coat. Wait…I find Draco alluring and he makes me feel safe? Help me!

'Just admit it, you like him.'

What? Who are you and what are you doing in my head?

'I'm your subconscious intelligent one!'

Hey where does my subconscious get off telling me who I do and don't like?

'Hello!! I'm in your head I think I should know what you really want deep down right?'

You know what?! Why don't you just shut up you stupid thingy!

'Well hey…I'm not the one talking to herself now am I?'

            "Hermione we're here," Draco said snapping me out of my conversation with myself. I looked up and saw a huge, old abandoned warehouse. I didn't say anything but just followed Draco as he walked up to the door and knocked three times. Then the door just opened silently and I followed Draco inside and up a couple flights of stairs. We walked up to the last door and Draco knocked twice. A young looking man opened the door; he looked like he was in his twenties, with a shaved head, and dark olive green eyes. He looked at us and then behind us. "Come in come in," he said hurrying us inside.

"What brings you here today Mr. G," asked the man.

"Travis you got any information on the opposition," asked Draco sitting down on an idle armchair.

"Who's the girl? She's new," said Travis looking me up and down.

"This is Julia, Julia …Travis. Now that you two are aquatinted do you have any information on the whereabouts of TB."

"Well I don't but I know a friend of yours that should…"

"And who would that be, Travis?"

"JC is back in town. So happens he'll be at Biagio's tomorrow night," Travis said smirking. Draco smirked as well.

"Did I miss something? What's Biagio's," I asked. Draco and Travis looked at each other and then broke out into fits of laughter. They stayed that way for about ten minutes.

"Anyway back to business," Draco said finally.

"I have a shipment for you in the back. Do you wanna check it out before I send to your place," Travis asked motioning to the back room.

"Sure. Come on Julia," Draco said following Travis, and I followed them.

            We walked into the back room that was filled wall to wall with huge shelves that ran throughout the entire room. Travis walked to the second section and climbed up a ladder to the third shelf and picked up this huge package, which he brought down and put on the table. He then opened the wrapping to reveal a black box.  Travis then opened it and I peered inside, it was filled with various types of muggle weapons. Varying to different types guns, knives, explosives, and even different types of torture devices. I looked at Draco and simply said, "Magical box." He nodded in agreement. Travis then closed the box and took it to this hole in the wall and put it in.

"It should be at your place when you get back," Travis said.

"Good," Draco said walking out. I went to follow him but Travis grabbed my arm.

"Wait a sec Julia I have something for you," he said. He then went to the last shelf and got a very small box.

"You're gonna be going to Biagio's tomorrow and I think you'll be needing this." Travis then opened the box to reveal a beautiful bracelet. It was a narrow band of plain sterling silver that had a piece of onyx, which was surrounded by small flecks of what looked like diamonds.

"Its beautiful. But I can't-"

"No trust me you'll need this bracelet. With it you'll be able to do magic without using your wand. You just need to think of what you want and put out your hand and it shall be done," Travis said closing the box and handing it to me.

"Thank you," I said.

            I then walked back into the room I first came in, to see Draco sitting down on a chair. I nodded to him signaling I was ready to go and we left Travis's apartment. We walked down the hallway and down one flight of stairs. We then went up the third door and before Draco could knock the door was already open by this woman with long blonde hair, brown eyes, and looked around 30. She, also like Travis, hurried us inside. Once inside I (as Julia) was introduced to the woman, Eleanor. She offered us something to drink in which we both declined.

"Well then Mr. G let's get down to business. What kind of things will you being needing for your missions," Eleanor asked.

"Well as you know there are a few formal functions that He'll be attending so Julia will be needing dresses for that, a few other pieces will be needed, and then we will be stopping by Biagio's," said Draco sitting comfortably, "She'll also need a disguise."

"Yes sir. Come this way Julia," Eleanor said motioning me to follow her into another room.

            The room was pretty big compared to the living room area. Half of the room had a stage and then surrounding it were big mirrors, and next to the stage was a small basket with pins measuring tape and such. In the opposite half of the room was a huge vanity table with a chair. Also one of the walls seemed to be one gigantic closet. Eleanor then motioned me to stand on the stage. I stood there while she took my measurements and wrote them down. Then with the measurements she had taken she walked to the wall closet. She looked the closet as though she knew exactly where the perfect dress would be for my figure. She took out a couple of dresses but didn't let me see any of them.

"Well we have a couple of outfits, let's give you a whole new look," Eleanor said as I sat in the chair in front of the vanity table. She then kept looking at me in a weird way.

"What are you doing," I asked.

"I'm evaluating your facial structure so that I can give you a disguise that is different but still compliments your physical makeup."

"Ok," I said a little unsure of what she was talking about.

After about 5 minutes of examining my "facial structure." Eleanor finally decided on a new look for me. The only problem was that she wouldn't let me look into the mirror till she was completely done. She did numerous different types of spells to change my eye color. She spent at least a couple hours on my hair alone, that much I could tell because she would sigh in frustration at my hair (because it would never stay the way she wanted it to.  Finally, she let out a cry of joy, "I'm finished!" She then spun the chair so that I was facing a mirror. All I could say was I didn't recognize myself at all. This definitely wasn't the same girl I've been seeing in the mirror for my entire existence. My skin was still tanned but my face was slightly paler, my eyes were a deep mysterious violet, my hair was still curly but it was jet black with auburn highlights, and the makeup Eleanor had put on me made my lips look fuller, my eyes stood out more, and my cheeks had a tinge of rose.

"Wow…It looks great," I said silently touching my face just to make sure it was really me.

"Thank you. Now for the clothes I set some things aside, basically formal dresses and a few other pieces that can be worn to anything. Did Mr. G tell you that you might be going anywhere in particular?"

"He did mention Biagio's. Though I don't kno what he's tal-"

"Oh don't worry I have the perfect thing for that occasion," she interrupted and quickly wrapped up the dresses in boxes. "You'll be wearing this for Biagio's, though don't open it now," Eleanor said giving me all the boxes. I noticed that the box containing the Biagio outfit was black with a silver ribbon.

"Thank you for everything Eleanor," I said with a broad smile.

"Don't mention it Julia. Now let's go see what he thinks about your new look."

"Who," I asked not quite sure of what she meant.

"What Mr. G thinks of how you look, of course. You look beautiful if I do say so myself," she said with a sweet smile. I smiled back at her as we walked to where Draco was sitting.

            He was sitting in an armchair staring aimlessly into the flames of the fireplace. Eleanor walked in first and cleared her throat so he'd look at her. He quickly looked up.

"So where is she," he asked.

"Here is the new and improved Julia," Eleanor said motioning towards me, and I walked into the room. Draco's jaw dropped, when he looked over me, though he quickly recovered.

"Let's go." I followed him out but before I left Eleanor pulled me aside whispering into my ear.

"I think he thinks you look great." I smiled at her and walked out to Draco.

            We didn't say much on the walk back though I did catch Draco checking me out a couple of times. I could only smirk in return. Who would've thought Draco Malfoy checking me out? But he isn't so bad himself…oh man did I just admit to myself I find him attractive?

'Yea you did!'

Shut up!

'Finally you admitted it. Doesn't that feel better?'

Will you shut up!!!

            *As they two were walking down the silent abandoned street there was another person there lurking in the shadows, watching them ever so vigilantly…*
