A/N nosy little people on msn, always wanting to know who's at the door :P Anyway, I was aching to write this, so I guess I will! I was going to wait for more reviews, but.....
Disclaimer:Nope, sorry but I do own the plot, so bugger off!
Previously on, paradise in hell:
"O never mind you prat.," she angrily huffed as she laid back down on her bed. He started his you know you want me speech as there was a knock on the door. He glanced at Hermione before crossing the threshold into her room and opening the door. Draco's mouth fell open, and with an incredible amount of surprise for someone that nonchalant he shouted,"WHAT!" Hermione held her head in her hands(her throbbing headache was getting worse) and trudged over to the door to check out the commotion. Her mouth dropped open when she saw, and with almost the same amount of astonishment she yelled, "WHAT!"
Draco and Hermione stared at the knocker with disbelief. The two, who both normally had a smart retort, and were never at a loss for words, had both suddenly developed a speech impediment, for they both just stared, their mouths agape. After a few moments of silence the knocker (A/N, yes I'm going to make you wait to see who it is =P) leaned casually up against the doorframe, smiling like there was no tomorrow.
"Do you have anything to eat? I'm starving!," without another word he strolled into Hermione's room, making way to the mini kitchen in the corner.
"But your..,"Hermione started, trailing off.
""No, actually, I'm not," he answered, pouring himself a glass of water. He turned around and laughed, a "this is amusing" sort of chuckle.
"Your...but, your....," Draco mumbled, gaping.
"Yup, I'd have to say yes."
Hermione ran forward and hugged him, emitting little gasps and screams. Draco just stared and watched. This girl was hugging, and jumping up and down, with, a murderer! Draco took a step forward, contemplating what he should do. Hermione and their unexpected visitor broke apart, Hermione still jumping up and down. Draco lunged forward and tackled him, throwing him to the floor and pinning him. Surprisingly SIRIUS had some trouble throwing him off, and instead rolled over and pinned him.
"ah, a Malfoy, I understand," with a push he got off the ground and started to pour himself another glass of water, every few seconds, gulping down the liquid and pouring another. Hermione shot Draco a nasty glare and started looking for food in the cupboards. Draco lie on the ground in disbelief. He had been wrestling with Sirius Black, presumably dead, a murderer, while Hermione helped him! Had the world gone crazy?
"Hermione, are you going mad! This is Sirius Black! A killer!," he instinctively moved between her and Sirius, keeping his eye on the black haired man in front of him. As if just now realizing this, Hermione froze, clasping her hand over her mouth.
"Sirius, why are you here! Should you be revealing yourself to..him?," she shot a fearful glance at Draco, before turning back to Sirius.
Sirius momentarily stopped eating some chips, thoughtfully looking at the Malfoy. Cocking his head, he said, "Well, I never really thought about that.... If he were anything like his father, he'd be running off right now to tell. And since he's not, I don't think we have a problem!." With a triumphant arm gesture, he returned to rummaging through the cupboards. Hermione turned and stared at Draco, a puzzling look on her face.
"Draco, are you going to tell?," she asked.
"He's a murderer! Why should I not! He murdered 13 muggles! He escaped from Azkaban, and tried to murder Ron, I only wish he'd been able to come through with th...."
"URGH! Draco! Don't be so naive! Peter Pettigrew murdered all those people!"
She continued to tell him the whole story ,with occasional nods from Sirius, and smirks and gasps from Draco. She finished with a huff, smiling to herself. Draco stared incredulously at her before proclaiming, "Your mad! Absolutely nuts!," he stormed off to his room, shutting the door after him. She stared at the door before, gasping.
"Sirius, this never occurred to me before, when you fell through the veil, where did you go! And how are you here!,"
Sirius turned solemn, and popped an olive into his mouth, "Would you believe me if I told you I didn't know?," he waited, as if for dramatic effect, before starting again, "It was like living 2 years in a black box. I don't remember anything, at all. It was like, someone teleported me from The Department Of Mysteries, to the top of a snow covered mountain. Which just happened to be near here. For a few days I was Snuffles, and I survived by friendly passerby, yesterday I saw Minerva and Severus, "he paused and seemed to scowl, "leaving the hotel. They were talking about you two; you and Draco, so I figured you must be here. I disguised myself, and asked what room you were in. It's as simple as that. Then I came up here and here I am!"
Hermione stared open mouthed at him for what seemed like forever, before getting up and going to the phone. "I've got to tell Harry! He's been so...without you he was so....I've got to call him," with that she started to dial, but the phone was jerked out of her hands by Sirius. "No worry Love, I'm heading over to Little Whinging anyway. Might be some trouble, but Ill make it," with that he kissed her on the cheek, and strode off towards the door.
"Wait!," Hermione said, trailing after him, "tell me how it goes ok? You've been dead the past 2 years, and now you just appear, and then you're off again, and I have no idea what's going to happen, and if Mr. Weasley wasn't Minister now...," Sirius laughed as she took a breath, "if I wasn't sure Harry would want to know where you were and that you were ok, I wouldn't let you be going at all." With that she kissed his cheek and ran out into the hallway. She checked that there was no one out there, and pushed him out. He turned around and smirked, "Tell Malfoy to stop being a pansy and give it," before Hermione could ask huh? (Like she'd been planning) he was off. She watched him walk down the hallway and around the corner, and was startled to see him running back. A breathless Sirius asked, "What happened to Pettigrew, to Peter?"
"Don't worry Sirius, him AND Voldemort are gone."
Sirius sighed, "I've missed a lot."
"We will fill you in, now go, before someone comes!," she laughed and bit her lip. What if something happened to him.... Once again he ran off down the hall, and disappeared from sight. Just to make sure, Hermione hesitated at the door, before returning to her room. She knocked on the door separating her and Draco's rooms, "Draco, Sirius is gone, don't be a baby, and come out." She put her ear up to the wood, "He told me to tell you something, come out and I'll relay it to you. Your acting immature, you know that." She huffed and leaned against the door. All the commotion had made her head hurt worse; it was like being in a marching band. She held her head in her hands; all she wanted to do was sleep.... After a few more minutes she finally decided to just go in. She loudly opened the door and prepared her rant. Her breath caught in her throat as she looked at the scene upon her. Draco lay shirtless on the bed, his lower torso covered with a blanket (who KNOWS if he was clothed under there) and a tiny puppy lay on his stomach. The puppy was curled up in a ball and was no more than 1 month old. After she oooed and ahhed she crept along side the bed, and gently rubbed Draco's shoulder. He woke up and turned to look at her. He jumped when she saw her crouching near his bed. As if he were still sleeping, she whispered, "Draco, why is their a puppy on your stomach," she giggled and reached for it. Draco batted away her hand, and sweetly picked up the puppy.
"Go away, Ill be right there. I'm naked if you must know," he scowled and sat up. Hermione blushed and rushed out of the room, shouting hurry up.
Hermione slipped into sweatpants and a tank top, and sat on the bed, waiting for him. The puppy was so cute! Not to mention how sweet it was Draco had a puppy. She'd always taken him for the Dragon type. Now that his father was gone, he could be whoever he wanted. Maybe this was him... The door joining their rooms opened and Draco stepped out with a red box. Hermione smiled, "I love presents!," she exclaimed. Draco blushed, and awkwardly stepped forward, handing the box to Hermione. She set it on her lap and took off the top. Inside was the puppy, a bow tied around its neck, with a tag attached. Next came the biggest "oooo!" ever made. She lifted the puppy out of the box and cradled it in her arms, tenderly reading the tag.
Dear Hermione,
A few days ago I was reading the muggle newspaper and someone was giving away puppies. Just thought you'd like one. Feel free to name it anything you'd like. As long as its not Harry or Ron, I'm satisfied.
Sincerely,
Draco
Hermione sighed. Her stomach had that annoying butterfly feeling. She smiled, and looked up, "Draco....," where was he? She laid the puppy down on the bed and went into his room. Finding he wasn't there, she peered into the hallway. He wasn't there, so she returned to her room. Puzzled about his disappearance, but none the less happy, she picked up her new puppy. Staring into the big brown eyes of the little creature, she cooed, "What shall I name you sweetie," she rubbed the puppy up against her face. It was so soft... "Rusty? No no, how about Sam. Spike, Fido, Ooo I don't know! I need Draco!," in a huff she rose from the bed and set out about the castle.
Draco kicked the snow with his foot, clearing a small space. He continued to kick the snow out of his way until he came to a collection of boulders overlooking the now frozen over lake. He sat down on the cold surface and stared out over the water. He had just given Hermione a puppy, and he couldn't believe it. Malfoys did not give people presents. Draco sighed and continued to look out over the water, thinking about his father.
"Draco! Draco!," Hermione came running towards the overlook, carrying the puppy inside her coat. She spotted the blonde haired boy and quickened her pace. She skid to a halt next to him. Draco looked up into the face of The rosy cheeked wonder, and sighed. "You could have hurt yourself you know. Its more than a 100 foot drop," he looked back over the lake. Hermione sat down next to him, and pulled the puppy out of her jacket, sitting it on her lap. She cocked her head towards him. He could feel his gaze on his cheek. She leaned over and kissed him on the cheek, quickly pulling back away. Draco could feel his cheeks burning red as he turned to look at her.
"Thank you Draco, for the puppy. But I need your help, I have no idea what to name him!" As if he had no control of what was being said, "I had a puppy once. My mother gave it to me for Christmas when I was 11. My father came in, and said that Malfoys do not get puppies. He transfigured it into an owl. The owl scratched me and then went to sit on top of the Christmas Tree. I never saw it after that....," he smirked and inclined his head at her, "Sob story, isn't it. O well. So now to name the puppy," he choked on the last word and turned back to gaze at the lake. Hermione stared at his cheek. No wonder he's so hard, his family was insane. She looked down at the puppy in her arms and stroked it.
"Draco, did you have a name for that puppy. I mean, before your father..changed it?," she asked.
"Yes. It was stupid, but I was going to name it Storm... don't ask."
Hermione looked down at the puppy and picked it up, bringing its face up to hers. "Do you look like the Stormy type?," she laughed and put the puppy down on her lap again. "I think we've found a name." She nervously glanced at Draco, before laying her head on his shoulder. She felt him tense up then relax again. He awkwardly put his arm around her and pulled her closer.
