Chapter 8: Potions and Brainfreezes
"Shit, you guys! It's almost five!" Hermione said. She was on the bottom of a dog pile. After Ron came in, the three of them got into a tickle fight, well, Harry and Ron began to attack Hermione.
"So?" Harry asked as he pushed Ron off of him.
"I still haven't showered, picked up any movies or decided what I want to wear!" Hermione jumped off he bead and ran down the stairs. She flung off her robe and grabbed her bag.
"Oy Hermione!" Ron shouted as Hermione threw open the door
"What?"
"Don't you want to change?"
"Fuck!" she ran up the stairs and threw off her top. She tossed on a red wife-beater and replaced her skirt with jean shorts and her shoes with black sandals. "Bye!"
She ran out the door and rushed to Blockbuster (do they even have a blockbuster in England?).
Hermione walked into Blockbuster and headed straight for comedies. She scanned the wall for Beautician and the Beast. It was one of the first movies they watched together, and was their favorite. By the time she found it, someone snatched it, right before she could grab it.
She turned around, pissed off at whoever took it to see Draco Malfoy. Hermione was taken aback. What the hell was Malfoy doing at Blockbuster?! His hair was slicked back and he was wearing black slacks with a black turtleneck.
"What the hell are you doing here? Last I heard Blockbuster was a muggle establishment." Hermione sneered.
"Not that it is any of your business, but I happen to be going somewhere tonight and will be needing it" Draco said in a matter of fact tone.
"Beautician and the Beast? And not some-"
"Shove it Granger, I need to be somewhere soon and I do not intend on listening to your constant bitching" his patience was wearing thin
"Ugh! Why that movie though! Why not something like 'A Walk to Remember' or 'Girls Just Wanna Have fun'?"
"Because I need this specific movie. Why is it so important to you to get this specific movie, eh? Why not something like 'Tom and Huck', or 'Blazing Saddles'?"
"Because I need that specific movie. Ugh! Whatever Malfoy, be immature." She turned around and grabbed 'Paycheck' and 'Dirty Dancing'. When she saw he wasn't looking she also took 'Blazing Saddles' and 'Tom and Huck' to watch with Harry and Ron. She walked up to the register and paid then left.
Draco made sure that Granger wasn't looking and also grabbed 'A walk to Remember' and 'Girls Just Wanna Have Fun'. He walked up to the register and paid for the movies and left. He had failed to notice her bracelet, and the necklace that his little friend had always worn.
Hermione walked quickly to the food store and bought pixi-stix, popcorn, Now and Later's, Hershey bars, cherries, ice cream and toppings and some more candy.
'Ugh! That argument with Malfoy cost me my shower! It's a good thing I took one this morning.' Hermione thought as she paid for the snacks and rushed home.
She ran into the house and threw on a pair of flannel pants that she had to roll up so she didn't trip over them and a black wife beater. She put her hair in a high messy bun and smeared on some cherry lip-gloss. She put in an belly button ring and a pair of silver hoops.
"Hermione!" Harry called from downstairs at five thirty. "What's with all the food and movies?"
"I told you! My friend is coming over tonight. Do you mind putting the stuff away? I still have to do one more thing"
"OK!"
"Thanks!"
Hermione looked at herself in the mirror. It had been the longest time since she and Draco had been together. She hoped he hadn't changed much. She walked to her bed and took out a large box and opened it. There were pictures of her and Draco as children. Movie stubs, pictures they had drawn, presents and such filled up the box. Hermione felt foolish. This was eleven years later. Of course he changed. It's not like he'd eat a bug if she dared him to anymore. Hermione giggled at the memory. She looked at the bracelet on her wrist and sighed. She never thought she would see Draco again. She felt as tohugh a day hadn't passed since they last saw each other. There was so much familiarity, as though they still went to school together (A/N haha...mhm). She then placed a wide bracelet on, covering her wrist and a couple of bandages on her arm.
There was then a knock at the door. Harry was about to answer it, but Hermione somehow got there first.
She opened the door with a big smile and so much excitement.
Harry's POV
Hermione opened the door to reveal a blond boy. His hair fell in front of his fave in a way mine never would. He was around my height. I could tell that he played a sport. His eyes were a cool blue. He and Hermione looked as though they were trying to strangle each other. I cleared my throat to get their attention.
The two of them stopped and looked at me. I held out my hand.
"Harry" I said. "Good to finally meet you" Draco's face paled a little, but Hermione didn't notice it.
"Draco, pleasure to meet you mate" he said, returning my handshake.
"Oy Ron, 'Mione's friend is here!" I called. Ron walked in wearing a pair of jeans and a shirt with the team's logo on it.
"Ron, pleasure" he said, shaking Draco's hand. I saw a bracelet on Draco's wrist. It looked like Hermione's. They must be friendship bracelets. "Harry, we should head out now, I heard that the game is starting early because there's supposed to be a storm tonight and they want to finish the game as early as possible."
"Sure, it was a pleasure meeting you. Bye Hermione." I said. Ron and I then flooed to the stadium.
At the Stadium
"Ron, did you think there was something familiar about Hermione's friend?" I asked as Ron got some snacks.
"Nope, I wasn't really paying much attention. Why?" Ron asked as he paid.
"Well, when I said who I was and you introduced yourself his face sort of paled and he got a weird expression, as though he knew us or was afraid or something."
"Well, what did he look like, again. Maybe we can place him."
"Well," I tried to picture Draco, wait, DRACO! "Ron! It was Malfoy!"
Ron spit out everything in his mouth (which was A LOT) and dropped all the food he was carrying. "WHAT!"
"Yes, I mean, both their names are Draco, and this one refused to say his last name. They both have platinum blond hair, they're around the same height. Same face also. RON! We left Hermione alone with him! Alone!"
Ron just stood there, not moving and I think not breathing either.
"Is anyone in there? Hellooooo?" I waved my hand in front of his face.
"OK Harry, I've given it a lot of thought. Hermione can take care of herself. I say that if she doesn't know by tomorrow then we tell her. No, wait, she already knows. I mean, she's, no offence, the smartest of the three of us."
I was taken aback. "Who are you and what have you done with Ron?" I asked.
"What do you mean?"
"I mean, what have you done with my short-tempered, overprotective over Hermione, Malfoy-hater best friend?"
"I'm here, but if we went to Hermione then we'd probably miss the game. Don't worry Harry. If Malfoy knew it was her then he wouldn't be there. Besides, I would definitely know if it was him. The guy didn't even crack a joke at me or you or anything."
"Yeah, I mean, it's just the same name and similar hair color. Besides, this guy had his ears pierced and went to school with muggles and arrived in a non-magical way." Reassured, Ron and I went to find our seats.
Back at Hermione's House
"Um, Hermione, how do you know those two?" Draco asked as he closed the door.
"Oh, well we go to school together. It's actually quite funny how we became friends." She laughed at the memory.
"Oh really, how?" Draco asked as he walked into the kitchen to the pantry.
"Well, he he, we used to really dislike each other, and one time they even made me cry. This is all in our first year at school. Um, one of the teachers let a troll in the school. I was crying in the lavatory and the two buffoons locked the troll in with me in order to save me from it." She began to laugh even more as she took out the ice cream and other food from the refrigerator and freezer. "Well, I let out a scream and then they decide to check which room they locked the troll in. They almost killed me and saved my life in those, what, ten minutes. Ever since we're been inseparable" She placed a bunch of cherries on their now finished monster sundaes. "Grab the phone please? I'll get the movies and other snacks." She grabbed the rest of the snacks and put everything on a tray and carried it to the living room. And ugly cat then walked into the room and sniffed the food. "No Crookshanks. This is for me and Draco. Your food is in the kitchen." The cat sulked into the kitchen as Draco came out.
"One regular pie, one pie with extra cheese, garlic bread and Fettuccini Alfredo?" Draco asked as he walked in
"You remembered!" Hermione said. "Remember our favorite movie, Beautician and the Beast though?"
"Yes" Draco was starting to become positive that Hermione was Mudblood Granger.
"Well, I tried to get it, but some rude ass bitch took the last copy, so I got us some other movies"
"Hermione, what sort of grades do you get?" Draco asked quickly
"Oh, well I get OK grades. I pass" she said, trying not to show off. Draco let out a sigh of relief. "Why?"
"Oh, well, you always were the smartest in our class"
"That was kindergarten. Let's talk about now. So what is new in your life?"
"Oh, well, I am a prefect at my school. And my father is out of the picture." Draco said, trying not to think that it wasn't Granger because of the grades.
"Oh, I'm so sorry"
"Don't be. Remember how I hated him as a child?" she nodded "Well I hate him even more now. So what's new with you?"
"Well, um, nothing much. So, shall we start the first movie and continue this stimulating conversation then?" Hermione asked
"Sure. I brought some movies too. What do you have?"
"Paycheck, Blazing Saddles, Tom and Huck and Dirty Dancing. What have you got?"
"Girls Just Wanna Have Fun, A Walk to Remember and Beautician and the Beast"
"What shall we watch first?"
"Um, how about Tom and Huck?" Hermione got up and put in the DVD then walked over to Draco on the couch.
"So, if I recall properly, you had very wild hair when we were younger. What happened?" he took a spoonful of ice cream.
"Well, I was practicing potions and Harry or Ron accidentally made and error with one of the ingredients and it exploded. My hair became straight. You like?" she finished off her sundae, being the quick ice cream eater she was. "OOH! BRAINFREEZE!" she grabbed her head.
"Loser." Draco said as he took another large spoonful of his ice cream. "OW! BRAINFREEZE!"
Hermione tried to laugh at him but her head hurt too much.
