Chapter One: Who would have thought?
"Hermione! HERMIONE GRANGER! GET OUT OF BED!" Ginny screamed at her lazy best friend. Since that attempt didn't work she decided to tickle her cheek with a feather, "hermione please get up," she whispered.
"I don't want to get up blasie," she murmured back. It took Ginny two minutes to decipher what Hermione was saying and when it sunk in, she was shocked,
"DON'T TELL ME YOUR DREAMING ABOUT THAT BLOODY SLYTHERIN, BLAISE ZAMBINI!" Upon listening his name, Hermione jumped out of bed with a totally red face.
"I-I didn't uh.. erm.. say who you think I said.. I-I meant uh.. didn't want to uh.. get up to the um.. blazing sunshine, uh....erm...yes...so..Hogwarts..um..lets get ready" She stuttered.
"Hermione. I am NOT bloody stupid. It is absolutely obvious that you were dreaming about that certain Slytherin. So, do you or do you not have a crush on that git?" Ginny stated matter-of-factly.
"Yes! I do have a liking for him! Oh come on Ginny, he's about 6 feet and 3 inches tall, has a great body and he's smart. And also, I just love his dark eyes and his soft black hair and he's just so perfect." Hermione rambled on about her crush.
"So 'mione you wouldn't mind if I played Matchmaker.. would you?" the redhead asked slyly.
"EXCUSE ME?! Have you gone totally bonkers? He is, like you said, a bloody slytherin!" Hermione replied hotly
"Your point being? Honestly I've seen Harry watching Pansy!! I don't see anything wrong with you going out with him," Ginny said, "oh don't look at me like that! I was just shocked at first. He didn't seem like your type."
"Obviously! But you know that he's very smart too! He's absolutely brilliant! And when you put it like that I guess it might be possible. But he probably doesn't even fancy me!" Hermione whined
"Oh stop it! We're going to make you look amazing and you'll catch his eye for sure! Alright? So I get to play matchmaker right?" Ginny asked
"Yes, alright. I'll let you do this, but keep it low profile alright?" Hermione replied finally giving in.
"Deal," the two girls shook hands and got ready to go to King's Cross Station.
An hour later they arrived at King's Cross Station. Both the girls couldn't stop giggling, coincidentally both the boys (Ron and Harry) had goofy grins on their faces. After the goodbyes, they got on board the train and Ron and Harry left to find the other 7th Year Gryffindor boys and Ginny and Hermione went to find an empty compartment so they could further discuss Hermione's love life.
"Draco get up! You'll be late for the Express if you don't come wake up soon!" Narcissa Malfoy shook her son so he wouldn't be late for the Hogwarts Express.
"I'm up mother, what time is it?" A very sleepy Draco asked
"It's 7:30, you have half an hour to get dressed and then breakfast will be served at 8:00 with your father, Pansy, your friend Blaise, Sammy and I. (a/n sammy aka Samantha is draco's 10 year old sister) We will then be going to Kings Cross Station. Understood?" Ordered his mother. At that same instant there was a knock on the door, "Hello 'Cissa, Pansy got here early so I brought her up." It was Lucius with a sleepy looking Pansy.
"Hello Aunt Cissa, good morning Draco. If you want Auntie I can wake him up and you can tend to Sammy?" Pansy offered
"Oh that would be lovely dear, we'll be having breakfast in half an hour. Do make sure he's ready by then." Answered Narcissa giving Pansy a hug, "come know Lucius, you can help me wake up Sammy, you know how much she adores her sleep."
Finally only the young couple was left behind. Draco still refused to get out of bed and Pansy had settled herself on a large comfy chair in his room.
"Draco, get out of bed or I'm going to pull off the covers!" Pansy finally yelled at him
"Alright! I'm up!" Draco exclaimed getting out of bed and giving Pansy a hug. "I'm going to go take a shower, make yourself comfortable. I'll be ready in 20 minutes giving us 10 minutes to talk."
"Wonderful, now go get ready!"
About 20 minutes later, Draco walked out of the luxurious washroom, ready for the day. He sat down beside pansy who was reading on the couch near a window looking out at the Malfoy's garden and lake.
"So, any plans made for our final year at Hogwarts?" Pansy asked as a conversation starter
"Not really, I've given up my grudge against the Gryffindors, mainly the Weasleys, Potter and Granger. There's no use, I might even try to make them acquaintances. Father sort of gave up his grudge so I couldn't continue to be rude to them could I?" Draco explained, "what about you?"
"Oh, I'm just going to keep my grades up, take care of you and all that bloody social jazz." Pansy exclaimed "I see... well I actually bought something for you to represent our bond." Draco walked over to his desk and pulled out a large square shaped box.
"You really shouldn't have! I already have this gorgeous ring!" Pansy said with a blush rising to her cheeks. She slowly opened the box and to her surprise, inside was a small black kitten with bright green eyes. "Draco! It's adorable and absolutely perfect!!! I love animals! I'm going to name her Emerald because of her lovely eyes." She engulfed him in a gigantic hug.
"Well, I was speaking with your cousin at the engagement party and she told me that you loved animals and I though that a kitten would be the perfect gift for you." Draco answered with a genuine smile on his face. He gave her another hug, "even though I'm not in love with you, you'll still make an amazing wife."
"My sentiments exactly dear," Pansy replied. Suddenly turning her tone more serious she said, "but Draco if in the course of this year, you do happen to fall in love with someone or even a mild crush you will tell me because we're going to have to hide it right? And I'll do the same if I'm in that position."
"Of course, and mother's calling we'd better go downstairs. Let me grab my trunk and you should get your belongings." Draco replied.
When they reached downstairs, Blaise was already sitting at the table with Lucius, Narcissa and Sammy.
"Hey Draco and Pans, you know you're 5 minutes late, we're you passionately snogging? At least that's the theory that me and Sam came up with." Blaise smirked in a true slytherin manner. Lucius, Narcissa and Sammy were all laughing while Draco and Pansy turned bright red and glared at Blaise.
"No Blaise, Draco was giving me a lovely present which did NOT include snogging. It's this beautiful little kitten." Pansy replied showing the entire family little Emerald. "Isn't she the most perfect little thing ever?"
"Draco that's so cute!! When are you getting me a kitty?!" Sammy whined.
"One day Sam, when YOU'RE getting married." Draco chuckled.
Over breakfast, the 6 of them discussed Draco's, Pansy's and Blasie's graduation party for the summer and Sammy going into her first year at Hogwarts the year after they're graduation. When breakfast was done. They decided to apparate to King's Cross Station. Lucius held on to Sammy and the rest apparated themselves.
After bidding farewell to everyone with promises to write, the trio got on board the Hogwarts Express. They searched for an empty compartment but when they reached the last one. There were already two people sitting in it.
"Weasley, Granger mind if we sit here?" Blaise asked politely.
"No, not at all." Ginny replied, giving a bright red Hermione a Slytherin- like smirk.
So, the Hogwarts express set off with the 2 Gryffindors and 3 Slytherin's sitting together... Who would have imagined?
