Chapter 2: Taste of the muggle world
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
"How did it go mate?" asked Ron expectantly
Harry nodded and smiled while Hermione grinned.
"Wow, wonderful. Congratulations", hugged Ron both of them.
"Great news Herm", shrieked Lavender and Ginny hugging Hermione.
"Congratulations Harry", said Draco shaking hands.
Before he could shake Hermione's hand, Hermione pulled him into a hug.
"Draco, Thank you for everything you did", said Hermione making Draco touched.
"Guys, I should thank each one of you for helping me change. I don't know what I would be doing if not for Ginny, Harry and all of you", said Draco making everyone smile back at him.
"All right everyone. I am giving a tour of the house. Care to join?" asked Hermione making everyone nod eagerly.
Hermione led them back into their living room.
"What is that box?" asked Draco innocently.
"Oh, That's called a television. It can show you movies and other things", said Hermione turning the television on.
Draco gasped out loud when some movie started playing. He stared wide-eyed at the screen. Hermione and Harry doubled with laughter when Draco hid behind Ginny for some explosions in the movie.
"Draco. It's not real. It won' hurt you", said Hermione dragging him back to the couch.
Ron and Ginny, though as surprised, were not scared as they heard about such devices from their dad. Lavender on the other hand, lived with her uncle, a muggle, thus getting as amused as Hermione from Draco's antics.
"Is this a fellytone?" asked Ginny, carefully touching the cordless phone set on the wall.
"Gin, it's called a telephone", corrected Hermione. Draco walked towards it and touched it as well.
"What is this for?" asked Draco.
"Well, that is used to talking to people, more sort of like our talking through fireplace minus the faces", explained Hermione. She then took her cell phone and showed them.
"This is a miniature version of telephone. Now, let's talk with each other. Harry, grab the phone when I call it", said Hermione dialing her home number.
Harry nodded and smiled. He was very much amused with the behavior of his friends. The phone rang making Draco jump. Ginny stared at the phone fearfully while Lavender laughed at them. Harry answered the phone.
"Here Draco, talk to Hermione through this", said Harry giving the handset to Draco. He carefully placed it near his ear as Harry did.
"Her....Hermione?" called Draco tentatively.
"Hey Draco. It's me", laughed Hermione as if playing with a kid. Later Ron and Ginny took turns to talk. Harry had to ask Ron to control his voice on the phone as he shouted at the top of his lungs, as usual.
With great effort Hermione dragged them upstairs to show her room. After showing around, they stepped into another room, which Hermione called as reading room. It was completely filled with books.
"Wow, Hermione. No wonder you have become a bookworm", remarked Ron earning another stare from Hermione. Lavender punched on Ron's shoulder.
"Ouch, Lav! What did you do that for?" asked Ron rubbing his shoulder.
"Watch your mouth when you talk about my friend", warned Lavender, making Ron nod his head.
"Hey Hermione, What is that?" asked Ginny.
"Oh, it's a computer Gin. Here let me start it", said Hermione switching it on.
Ron and Ginny were also looking at a computer for the first time. Hermione showed them the advantages of using a computer, some games and the Internet.
Everyone including Harry was amused at these machines. Harry was never allowed to use one back at Dursleys.
"Wow, all these things were made by muggles without using any magic?" thought Draco, out loud.
"Oh I forgot. I have another news for you. Draco has got a job with the ministry", announced Ginny making everyone cheer for Draco.
"Thanks guys. Mr. Weasley was kind enough to give me a job. I am going to work in the Misuse of muggle artifacts department", said Draco making Hermione, Lavender and Harry burst into laughter.
"What is it?" asked Ron, puzzled over their uncontrolled laughter.
"Sorry Draco. We just found it to be ironic that the once 'muggle loather' is now working for misuse of muggle artifacts", said Harry trying to control his laughter.
Draco smiled back. "I am still ashamed of that attitude Harry. But after learning about muggles and their lifestyles, I couldn't stop appreciate their hardworking nature and intelligence", said Draco.
"Draco, You have nothing to be ashamed about. You just didn't know when you were young. We are all glad that you changed", said Hermione
"Oh, Draco also released all the house-elves from the Malfoy manor, Hermione. He'd make a good member of S.P.E.W", said Ron smirking.
Hermione disregarded the sarcasm in Ron's voice.
"Really Draco", asked Hermione very surprised.
"Yes Hermione, I have gifted two of them to Mrs. Weasley and the elves agreed to get a galleon per month as salary", said Draco proudly.
"Thanks Draco", said Hermione.
"Hey, you guys missed the most important news of the century", shouted Ron, annoyed of being left behind.
"Stop it, will you", whispered Lavender blushing pink.
"Lavender and I are engaged", announced Ron proudly, disregarding her pleading.
"Really Lav, is it true?" asked Hermione making Lavender nod, blushing even more.
"Congratulations to you mate. You did it", patted Harry making Ron look around proudly.
"The Browns came over to our house for dinner and there, Ron asked Lavender's parents" explained Ginny.
"This is so wonderful", squealed Hermione as Harry leaned over and kissed her on the cheek.
"Your house is awesome Hermione", remarked Ginny.
Hermione nodded. "Let's go swimming", said Hermione making everyone nod.
All six went into the backyard towards the swimming pool and started to play in the water. Hermione put her boom box on. After sometime they all went back into the house and changed. They watched the television for the rest of the day. Though Hermione didn't like spending time watching t.v, she did it just for the sake of the rest. Harry understood her and squeezed her hand.
"Thank you for having all of us here", said Harry
"Don't mention it Harry. They are my friends too", said Hermione kissing Harry softly. She sat in Harry's lap and started playing with his fingers.
"What do we have for dinner?" asked Lavender. Hermione then realized that she didn't make any arrangements.
"Let's order a pizza", said Hermione making Lavender grin.
Draco, Ron and Ginny loved the pizza. Harry was very busy eating as he was very hungry.
The next day, everyone enjoyed a morning swim in the pool followed by some card games and videos. But Ginny got bored with staying indoors.
"What do we do today?" asked Ginny eating her lunch
"I need to do some shopping. I didn't bring enough dresses", reasoned Lavender
"All right, shopping be it", decided Hermione. She also wanted to do some shopping.
"I don't need to buy anything. So why don't I cook some dinner for all of you", offered Harry.
"I don't need to shop either Harry, may be I can help you", said Draco.
"Well, if you two are staying back, I have no intentions of getting lost with these three here", shrugged Ron.
"So, we three will go shopping and you three gentlemen, get the dinner ready for us", ordered Lavender smiling and after an hour the three girls drove out in the car.
Harry then walked into the kitchen flanked by his friends. He took a look at the supplies and made some notes. He then turned towards Ron and Draco.
"Ok, you two, go to the market and bring these items. Meanwhile, I will do some groundwork here", said Harry handing them the list.
They both nodded and walked out of the place. Both Ron and Draco were new to shopping. They immediately ran to the nearest grocery store that is a few blocks away from Hermione's house. They had a big row over the money the shopkeeper is to return them. After much deliberation, they returned with the sacks, sweating along.
"Harry, Here are the items. I had to stop Draco from using a levitation charm", explained Ron laughing.
All three laughed and went back into the kitchen. Harry sorted all the items. He then looked back at them.
"Ok now, Ron, chop these vegetables for me. Draco, stand next to the cupboard and hand me over each item as I ask for it", said Harry making Draco nod.
After a few minutes, Harry set the temperature on the oven. He had to pull Draco away from putting his head into the oven to see what happens. He almost burnt his apron from the stove. Soon the kitchen sizzled and a nice aroma spread all over.
* * *
The three girls made their way into the mall, of course with some surprises for Ginny, as in with the escalator and the elevator.
They did some good shopping and it was already dark. All three felt hungry.
"Hope Harry knows some cooking. I am starving", said Lavender.
"He did learn a lot of it with the Dursleys. I think we will enjoy it", said Hermione making Ginny nod.
They walked into the parking lot to reach their car. However, there was a small mob in the dark corner, obviously drunk. They hooted as the three girls made their way.
"Three cuties walking around. Seem to be lost. Need some help?" asked one with a disgusting smirk.
The three didn't reply. Hermione looked around to see if anyone is present and was quite satisfied to find the rest of the parking cellar empty.
"If I were you, I would silently walk away", she warned the mob shocking them with her boldness.
"Well....well....Let's see three little girls and we four grown up men. I don't think so", laughed, who seemed to be the boss.
The four men walked menacingly towards the girls. Two even drew their knives out. Hermione simply smiled and looked at both Lavender and Ginny.
Lavender cursed one with her favorite tickling charm while Ginny and Hermione chose to inflict some pain to make them loose their weapons. The four thugs screamed from different spells and stared at the girls in terror. All three girls raised their hands and shouted "Stupefy" and the four lay on the ground unconscious. Hermione then waved her hand and muttered "Obliviate", erasing their memories of that little event. They got into the car and drove home laughing all the way.
'Being a witch is good', transmitted Hermione to the rest and all three smiled at each other.
* * *
After a couple of hours Harry was done with honey-roasted ham, Chicken casseroles and garlic shrimp along with some green salad and mashed potatoes.
"Wow Harry, You could easily replace Dobby", smirked Draco, patting him.
"Where did you learn all of this Harry?" asked Ron, puzzled but satisfied.
"Well, The Dursleys made me cook often and I picked up some recipes from my aunt", replied Harry.
Harry draped the table with a white sheet and lit up three candles on the table. He then levitated the items onto the table and set up the wine glasses next to them.
The three girls soon walked in laughing but stopped in their tracks smelling the luring aroma.
"Wow, that smells so good. What was that Harry?" asked Hermione making Harry smile at her.
"Well, it's about time. You three ready for dinner?" asked Harry making the girls nod dumbly.
All six made their way to the table to find some sumptuous recipe waiting for them.
Harry clapped and the lights grew dim and a soft music played in the background.
"Wow, Harry you sure know to be a romantic", complimented Lavender making him blush.
"What in Merlin's name is in this Harry?" asked Ginny eating some honey- roasted Ham.
"Well, it's a secret of the chef", remarked Harry
Draco and Ron were lost for words as they competed to swallow as much food as possible, Ron beating Draco hands down in the process.
Lavender, Ginny and Hermione were so impressed with the dinner, soon all the dishes were emptied.
"Wow, that's the best dinner I ever had", said Lavender sipping her wine.
"Let's watch a movie", said Harry and switched the DVD player on.
They watched "What a girl wants" and laughed along. Soon they all walked to their rooms for a good sleep. That night Hermione had a strange dream.
....There was a strangely lit room in which there were many antics. Hermione was looking for something in particular. Suddenly she heard some voice. "Come to me....Come....to....me" repeated the voice and she found that the voice was coming out of a small box in the corner. Hermione frightened, walked tentatively towards the box and as she opened there was a bright flash and....
Hermione woke up with a gasp. She looked around disoriented but sighed recollecting her senses to find a sleeping Lavender and Ginny next to her.
Harry, Ron and Draco shared the other room, where Hermione managed to add two more mattresses.
Hermione totally forgot about the dream in the morning. If only she remembered....
* * *
A week passed without any troubles, except for Hermione chasing Draco occasionally for some silly remark he would make on Harry.
"Harry, Hermione. We are home", shouted the Grangers walking in hoping that their house all in one piece. As the kids knew about the arrival before hand, they cleaned the whole house a day before, much to the relief of Mrs. Granger.
"Mom, Dad", ran Hermione and hugged them both.
The Grangers immediately liked Draco, Lavender, Ginny and Ron. They were surprised but pleased that Draco is the son of a death eater who chose to stay on the light side.
"Mrs. Granger, My parents invited you both to our house", said Ginny making Mr. And Mrs. Granger smile and nod. Mrs. Granger in particular, liked Ginny very much.
"I hope you were responsible", said Mr. Granger looking at all the three boys making them blush and nod.
"Um, Mr. Granger, Can I ask your permission to let Hermione visit our house, with me?" asked Harry crossing his fingers.
"Why yes Harry. Why don't you two stay for a couple of days and you can take her to your place", suggested Mr. Granger making Hermione grin like a goof.
Soon, all six were sad to be separated. But promised to make a reunion at the Burrow. Draco, Ron and Ginny left to the Burrow, Lavender to her house and Harry & Hermione threw some floo powder and yelled "Marauder's mansion" to tumble in front of a waiting Sirius and Arabella.
