Loving Your Enemy- Is It Possible? Chapter 4: Hermione's Revenge.
Hermione who had heard all this thought, 'Draco is good as a brother but as a husband he sucks. Instead I have to think of ways to get back to him for what he did. I mean because of him I am in this state. Lets see what can I do? Yeah got it. Draco wait for tomorrow.'
She banished these thoughts from her mind and went down to the kitchen to help Narcissa make some coffee and snacks. However, Narcissa was stubborn, "no you will not help me on the first day of your marriage. If you want to give me a hand then just lay the plates on the table ok?" she said politely.
Hermione just nodded and did as she was told. That time Jessica and Draco came down. Draco greeted Hermione with a glare whereas Jessica went up to her and asked, "Hermione coming to play basketball with me and Draco tomorrow? "
"umm nah Jess you go ahead" said Hermione
"Scared Granger?" asked Draco in his usual cold drawl.
"No I am not scared of anything. Fine I will come. And believe me I will beat you Malfoy " said Hermione determinedly. Beating Malfoy at anything let it be a game was an achievement for Hermione.
"Oh my god you all are so childish. You both still call each other by surnames? Be real and grow up. Anyways here dig in the food," said Narcissa.
All of them had snacks in fun. Hermione did not know that Draco could talk such logical things too. In addition, he had an immense general knowledge. As they finished snacks Jessica called out to her, "'Mione come in my room please I want to ask you something."
~Jessica's Room~
"Hey jess what's the problem?"
"Nothing want to play a game of chess? I asked bro he said no so I thought you would play with me. Please?" she showed her puppy face to Hermione on which she could not refuse.
While playing chess she was reminded of Ron. She had a crush on him but now what could she do? She was in prison by marrying some one she hated. Thinking about all this was also painful.
"Mione it is your turn. Stop dreaming" interrupted Jessica.
"Yeah sorry jess" said Hermione. They went on playing for around 3 hours. At last at 8:00 Hermione said, "I think that is enough Jessica. I'll help mom with dinner."
"Ok go ahead but don't forget about basketball. Tomorrow at 10:00 sharp." Said Jessica Hermione nodded and left the room. Dinner was over by 11:00 at night. Hermione finished cleaning up the table by 11:30 and went upstairs to change into her nightgown.
Draco was already there lying on the bed and scanning through the copy of daily prophet. Hermione came out in her nightgown. It was sleeveless and made of silk. The silver color of the gown just added to the perfect dress. Draco looked up and it made a startling effect. He could not just take his eyes off Hermione until she got uncomfortable And said, "Ehm Ehm. Err Malfoy after you finish could I have that paper? Please?"
"Oh huh yes. By the way today's dinner was fantastic and you are looking beautiful. " Said Draco. 'Shit why did I say that? Why why ?'
"Pardon me?" said Hermione.
"Nothing. Good night" said Draco. He flipped the copy over to her side of the bed and went of to bed.
~Next Morning~
"Granger Wake up." Draco practically yelled in her ear at around 5 in the morning.
Hermione woke up with a start. "What is it Malfoy?" she said in and irritated tone.
"Oh nothing. Another moment of fun seeing you get tortured," said Malfoy and he flashed a devilish smile at her.
"You bastard. I will take revenge. You better know that. I have something planned up. Get ready for facing the consequences." Said Hermione still wanting to sleep though she knew she could not.
Malfoy on the other hand glared at her and went off to sleep again leaving a disgusted Hermione behind. She got up and thought of putting her plan in action. She took a parchment and a quill and went to the living room.
She sat on the comfortable sofa and thought exactly what should she write? She knew that her letter had to be perfect and another precaution she had to take was it was not supposed to look like her handwriting. After some thinking she began,
Dear Draco, I know you are married and this news will come to you as a shock. However, believe me. I love you and I am pregnant with your baby. Remember that night on my birthday when you had come over to my house and got a bit carried away and. you know what happened. I can take hermione's place in your life because I have the right to.
Yours truly, Allie Taylor.
'Hmmm, perfect. Now Malfoy wait till the truth unfolds.' Thought Hermione. She went to the family owl Peter and told him to be back with the same letter at the time of lunch.
At breakfast Jessica reminded them about the game which Hermione had almost forgot. She got up and changed in to her t-shirt and shorts and when down to the backyard. Draco and Jessica were already there discussing something. This was the second time in the week when Draco got caught in Hermione again. 'Damn why does she try to torture me like that? Why am I thinking like this? She is my enemy. Nevertheless, she can be my friend. No she will stay my enemy. Enemies forever'
The game was no fun. Draco kept getting caught in Hermione and forgot to defend the basket due to which Hermione or Jessica could score a goal. The game went on till 2 when Narcissa finally called them for lunch.
At lunch Jessica spilled out all about the game to Narcissa when Hermione whispered to Draco, "ha ha I beat you again. However, the fun is yet to come. Ahh there it is. Now look at my acting"
Peter had just flown in with a letter. Hermione opened it and a tear prickled down from her eye to her cheek. She just threw the letter and went to the room.
Narcissa on reading the letter was furious and went over and slapped Draco. "HOW DARE YOU DO SUCH A THING? DON'T YOU KNOW HOW MUCH EMBARSEMENT THIS HAS CAUSED? GO AHEAD READ IT. YOU ARE A SHAME TO THE MALFOY FAMILY. " SHE THREW the letter and went upstairs followed by Jessica leaving Draco behind.
He understood at once who had done this. In addition, he knew how he could explain this to his mom. 'I should go up and talk to mom.'
He went upstairs, knocked the room, and whispered, "mom can I come in?" no reply came so he quietly opened the door and went inside. "Mom, you believe this Tanya girl? Seriously how could you think I would ever do such a disgusting thing? I swear on myself mom I have never known such a girl and you know I do not like attending birthday parties. Still you believe this letter and you slapped me? If there is anything I can do is just say sorry. I am sorry. "
Narcissa turned around. She knew her son would never lie to her. She got up and smiled at him. "Sorry Draco I got so mad when I read all that. I forgot to take things into consideration and just came up to you and slapped you." Saying so she hugged Draco.
"Mother I got to go now to my friends place." said Draco. "Do not worry it is Crabbe" Draco hastily added looking at that expression on his mom's face.
He went to his room and saw Hermione sitting there with a book in her hand. He cleared his throat and said, "ha ha granger. Nothing happened. Mom believes me. However, what you did was the most pathetic thing anyone could ever think of doing. " He just left the room.
'Granger you better stay ready for I can take revenge anytime. Because of you mom has slapped me. You better look out. Beware for the evil devil is here.'
