As My Guitar Gently Weeps

"Granger???" Draco said, startled. But then his look of surprise turned into his all to familiar sneer. Narcissa gave him a warning glance.

Draco gritted his teeth, he knew better than to come across his mother.

"Hi Draco, I'm Emily. Hermione's mother. I heard from Narcissa that played the guitar excellently and Hermione has been dying to learn. And you sounded just so nice from what you wrote on that last card you sent us. And me and your mother are very close friends. So I thought it would be spelendid if you can teach my little girl."

"Heh...Mother can I talk to you for a moment?" Hermione spoke up.

"Sure dear." Emily nodded at Hermione and then shot smiles toward Draco and Narcissa.

The Grangers were out of earshot when Draco turned to his own mother.

"Are you mad???" Draco muttered, "Its Granger!! Shes a mudblood! And shes friends with Potty and Weasel! And what card is she talking about??"

"Well first of all Draco, your forgetting I'm not your father and I have no grudges against muggles or muggle borns, I believe people are people no matter where they come from. And shes speaking of a card in which I wrote a little message from you saying---"

But she was cut off when Emily and Hermione appeared back at the door way. Hermione looked rather pale, with a look of either anger or disgust. Emily also look slightly distraught. Hermione NEVER argued with her parents before. Emily forced a smile.

"Very well, the agreement is set. I will pick Hermione up in an hour and a half." Emily said firmly.Narcissa nodded. Draco opened his mouth to say something but Narcissa kicked him on his ankle unoticeably. Emily turned and left. Narcissa smiled at the two of them.

"Do call if you two anything." She said, looking a little more at Hermione. Then she also left and closed the door behind her.

Hermione signed and then glared at Draco, "Ok Malfoy, lets get this over with..."

"I can't believe mum's making me teach a mudblood." Draco cursed.

"Yes, I well I can't believe my mum is making me get taught by a homosexual but I don't tell you anything."

Draco scowled, "Your in my manor now Granger, watch your mouth."

Hermione rolled her eyes "Look, can we just go through with today without trying to slaughter each other?"

"I don't think it possible, but due only to the presence of my mother, I'll try." Draco smirked.

"Ok Granger, what do you know about the guitar?"

Hermione frowned. To be honest, she knew absolutely nothing about the guitar, but she didn't Draco to know that, or it would lead to more mockery.

"Well, the knowledge I have of the guitar is pretty much the amount of knowledge you have in your brain. In other words, n-nothing." Hermione snapped. Hey, if you were gonna confess something to your foe, might as well add insult to it.

"Ha! Would've thought so. And mind you, the amount of knowledge in my brain far surpasses yours I'm sure. Just because the teachers like you dosen't make you any better than the rest of us.."

"Yes Malfoy, and you should be the one to talk about equality."

"Well what I said is true mind you, as a matter of fact, I can bet on 20 million Galleons that it would take me a whole year to teach you the basics before you can even play a song. Being the bloody idiot you are..."

"Well I can bet I'll be able to learn the basics, AND play a song by the end of the month!"

"Yea sure, a little childrens song..."

"No, I mean a song like...Ashlee Simpsons 'The Pieces of Me!'"

"What the hell is that?"

"Its a song, from the...muggle world."

Draco made a face of disgust at the word 'muggle' "Should've known. Fine, is that a deal then? It takes you one year, you pay me 20 million Galleons--"

"20 million? Sorry Malfoy, but not everyones a spoiled brat like you are. How bout this, the lesser weeks, the lesser galloens. If it takes me one week to learn the basics and play the song, its ten galleons. Its two weeks, its 20 galloens. I'm sure even you can get what I'm saying."

"Fine, its a deal."

Thats when Narcissa entered.

"How are you two doing?"

They both smiled at her.

"We're great Mrs. Malfoy."

"See? I knew you guys could work things out."
