After reading the letter she stood up and walked out onto the balcony and looked down the street. A few houses down she saw a cottage with a girl sitting on the porch and holding a fluffy cat. Victoria ran back into her house and out the front door, but decided it would be best to walk down the street. By the time she was half way there Hermione turned and saw her. And stood up and ran towards her. She smiled and laughed a little at Hermione gave her a hug.
"Draco was at my house yesterday morning" She smiled, explaining her reason for knowing she was down here.
"What was he doing there so early in the morning" Hermione said with a look of scolding.
" He stayed the night, but nothing happened I swear" She said in serious tone but couldn't help but smile. "Want to come see my house" she changed the subject.
" yea I'd love too" They began to walk back up the street , but continued to talk. " "How'd you pay for the house?"
" It was are old vacation house, my dad gave it to me"
"That's awesome..."
"He told me it was an apartment, I was a little mad though. I kind of wanted to be on my own"
"Yea well you know it's better than an apartment"
"yea sure is, especially since I didn't have to furnish it. So how's it going living in the same house as Ron?"
"It's great, we get to spend a lot of time together. I'm surprised Malfoy didn't move in with you"
"His mom needs him more than I do"
"Yea I heard about his dad, is he doing alright?" Hermione truly sounded concerned.
"Draco doesn't like to talk about it, not even with me" They had gotten to her house and she opened the door. "Ready for the tour?" She said excitedly
"Yea, show me everything"
Once they got done with the tour of the house Victoria made them some Lemonade.
"Here you go" she said handing Hermione a glass.
" I never got to thank you for standing up for me the other day"
"It's was nothing, he was a mess though"
"What do you mean"
" he probably wouldn't want me to tell you, so you have to promise not to say anything to anyone"
" I won't"
"He started crying, I guess he thought I was going to break up with him or something"
" I can't picture Malfoy crying..."
" He really isn't all that bad, once you get to know him he'll really warm up to you."
" yea has seemed to changed since you came in to his life. It had been a long time since he had said anything to me. I think Ron just provokes him"
"He's just acting the way Lucius raised him" she sighed. Just as she did Draco's owl flew in with a letter , dropped it on the table and flew out. " Draco's owl is a rather rude bird" She opened the letter,
Victoria,
It's been one day and I already miss you like crazy. Mom seems to be fine, my Aunt moved in with her so she wouldn't be alone. I think I'll only stay here for a week, we'll see. How's everything going at the house, have you finished unpacking yet? I didn't I figured I'd be traveling a lot anyways. Did I mention how much I bloody miss you, it's quite lonely here with no one to hold at night. Maybe you should come stay with me, Mom would like that. Write me back
Yours Truly,
Draco Malfoy
She smiled and looked up at Hermione,
"I'll write him back later"
"Yea...can I read it?"
"Sure" She said handing it over to Hermione. Hermione read it over, and giggled.
"Kind of scary to picture Malfoy like that" She said laughing.
"You and Ron should come over some night for dinner"
"Is that really a good idea?"
"I'll talk to Draco, he'll behave"
"Let me talk it over with Ron first."
"Sure no problem, I still have to Draco about it."
Hermione glanced at the clock on the wall it was already 7:00.
" I better go before Ron gets worried"
"Yea I'll talk to Draco and write you"
"Sounds great" She gave Victoria a hug before leaving. Victoria locked the door behind Hermione and sat down on the couch to write Draco Back.
