[*In Previous Chapter*]

She drew her face closer to the cut until she was just a few millimeters away and then she gently started to blow on it. Draco closed his eyes and enjoyed her warm breath on his cold skin. He accidentally moved his head a little so Hermoine's lips touched his eyebrow.

They both jumped away from each other when they felt an electric chock that went through both of the teenager's bodies.

"Um. I'm err..f-fin-ne n-now. Th-thanks-s." Draco stuttered quietly with a pale flush on his cheeks.

If Hermoine hadn't felt the same feeling and was blushing just as much, she would have found this very funny.

But that wasn't the case so she just shut her mouth and stood up.

"Onessa dear, I need to talk to you." Said the sweet voice Hermoine remembered as Mrs. Malfoy's from the door.

"Um. okay." Hermoine said as she walked out of the door with one last glance at Draco.


[~*~]


-Chapter 14: Loosing Trust-

As Hermione walked inside the kitchen she saw Draco's mother, Narcissa Malfoy, sitting on one of the many chairs at the huge table with a strict look on her face.

"Onessa dear, please sit down. I have got a very important thing to tell you."

The young girl looked a little puzzled by the woman in front of her, but she sat down across from her anyway.

"Is something wrong?" Hermione asked as she studied Mrs. Malfoy's face, which was now turning from strict to worry.

"Yes, something is terribly wrong. You got a letter from your MUGGLE parents." Narcissa said calmly, with a hint of disappointment in her voice.

She took out a sheet of parchment from the pocket of her white shirt and gave it to Hermione, who took it with shaky hands. As her eyes traveled down the piece of parchment, her eyes widened in horror.

Dear Hermione, Your father and I are sorry for not owling you, but we did try. We have sent you tons of letters, but Aetos just kept coming back with them again. So we thought that your dear owl was sick or tired so we let him rest for a few days before we sent a letter with him again, but he came back again.

Anyway, how are you? How are the Malfoys treating you? When we found out that you were going to spend your Christmas holiday at those people's house we were a little skeptical. Isn't that Draco Malfoy the boy that always calls you those mean things? Even if he's mean to you, please behave; we do not want any trouble. As your parents, we are very worried for you; after all, you are our little baby daughter.

Christmas is only three days away and it feels very odd that you won't be able to enjoy it with us. But don't you worry about your presents; we will send them with Aetos, if it works this time that is. We miss you awfully and so do Harry and Ron. They have also owled you without any luck. So if you get this letter, there are letters from Harry and Ron with this. Your father and I are going out for a romantic dinner at The Leaf so I better go now. Remember that we love you sweetie.

Lots of Love,

-Your Mum and Dad



As Hermione tore her eyes from the letter she was Narcissa Malfoy looking sadly back at her.

"Your parents aren't dead are they? You're a muggle born."

"Yes, I am a muggle born and my parents are alive." Hermione answered with shame in her voice.

Narcissa just nodded slowly.

"It's quite alright dear. I am just a little disappointed that you didn't trust me enough to tell me." She said with a lot of sadness in her normally sweet and cheerful voice.

"Are you going to tell Lucius about me being a muggle born?" Hermione asked insecurely and gulped.

"Of course not honey. He and his friends would kill you without a second thought. So tell me, what is your real name?" Narcissa said calmly.

"It's Hermione. Hermione Ann Granger."

Narcissa's grey eyes widened in realization.

"YOU are Hermione Granger? Know it all Granger? The girl that always beats my Scootchie in class? Harry Potter's best friend?"

"Um. Yes, that's me." Hermione answered silently

"Look, is there anything I can do to get your trust back?"

Hermione didn't like were the conversation was going so she decided to change the subject. Narcissa seemed to think about this for a while before her face light up.

"As a matter of fact there is something you can do." She said and grinned with excitement.

"Oh. What is it?"

"Lucius, Draco and I are invited to a big Christmas dinner with our neighbors. Draco is suppose to bring a date, I had decided to ask Nienna Petrell if she wanted to be his date but now that you are here...you can be!" Mrs. Malfoy exclaimed happily.

"Whoa, wait a sec. Are you telling me that I am going to be Draco's DATE??" Hermione asked in horror.

"Well yes. If you want me to trust you again." Narcissa said with a brilliant grin on her pale lips.

"But-but. I-I don't have a dress." Hermione said.

She was just trying to make up an excuse for not being Draco's date. It's not that she didn't want to but she didn't think that she would be able to control herself.

What if I mess up? Maybe I can pretend that I'm sick or something? But I have to do something to get Draco's mother's trust again. What if she tells Mr. Malfoy that I'm a mudblood? Naah, she wouldn't do that...or would she? Oh dear Lord, I'm going nuts!

Narcissa's voice interrupted Hermione's thoughts.

"Oh, sorry. What did you say?" Hermione asked

"I said that the dress isn't a problem. We're going to Diagon Alley the first thing tomorrow. Just you and me." Narcissa said and smiled warmly.

"Um. Okay, but I don't have any money." Hermione said quietly.

"Yes you do. If I am not mistaken, Albus Dumbledore gave you 300 galleons before you left Hogwarts." Narcissa said

"Oh that's right! I had forgotten that." Hermione said and gave her a small smile.

"Great, it's set then! Now why don't you go to bed, it's already 12:30 and we have to get up early tomorrow. Good night. Oh by the way, there was two other letters, too. Here." Mrs. Malfoy said sweetly and gave Hermione two pieces of parchment.

She stood up and gave Hermione a hug before she disappeared up the stairs. The young girl just sat shocked in her chair.

Oh my god, this can't be happening! Me? Draco's date? I don't want to be his date. Right? Of course not! That would be so...odd. And I'm going shopping with my ex enemy's mother tomorrow! Wonder how Draco looks in a suit... I can't even think straight; maybe I should go to bed now like Mrs. Malfoy said.


Hermione stood up and climbed up the stairs to Draco's room. When she entered she saw Draco sitting on his bed with his face deep crimson and his father Lucius sitting on a chair maybe a meter away with a sour look on his pale face.

"Um. Hi?" Hermione said a little unsure, she never felt comfortable in Lucius Malfoy's present, who would?

When Draco met her eyes, he looked down again and blushed even deeper, if that was possible.

"Hmm. Think about what I said, Draco. And no funny business." Lucius said and walked out of the room.

"Eh...so, what did you and your dad talk about?" Hermione asked, uncomfortable.

"Nothing, nothing at all." Draco muttered quietly and laid down on his bed.

"Oh." Hermione said, confused.

What she didn't know was that Draco had just had his first father-to-son talk...and that she was involved in it.
