Chapter 6: An Unexpected Day
I stood outside the place where I was supposed to meet BigD001, but when a
car stopped in front of me, a girl came out. And not just any girl. She had
long, slender legs. She had all of the right curves and her hair was sleek
and shiny. She was wearing sunglasses, but I could see the majority of her
beautiful face. She was wearing a dark green string bikini, open jeans, and
black platform sandals. She looked at me and smiled. I made my way towards
her as she came towards me.
"So, I finally meet SilverDragon" she said
"How'd you tell?" I asked
"You seem like BigD001 described" she said. Her voice was seductive, yet
sweet. She made a smirk with her deep-red colored lips and walked to her
car. I expected that she wanted me to follow her, so I did.
We got into her car and she began to drive to the beach.
"I'm sorry, but I have some bad news about BigD" she said
"And what is it?" I asked in my sexiest voice
"He's a moronic, small-minded, arrogant, pig-in-a-wig, jerky imbecile and
you are not going to be happy when you meet him" she said in a monotone.
"Then how about you and I just not go to him? We can spend the whole day,
just the two of us" I said, making my voice sound even sexier.
She laughed a little and said "I don't think so. We're both here for the
same reason and if you find out why it is, I'll tell him not only who and
what you are, but I'll just throw in some things for fun, got it?" I could
tell that she was a girl that nobody would ever want to mess with.
I leant back and put my hands behind my head. There was something familiar
about her, but I couldn't figure out what.
We pulled into a parking lot. She got out and grabbed her bag and a long
board.
"You surf?" she asked
"No" I said, not knowing what surfing was.
"Good"
We walked to the beach. We stopped at a boy who looked around my age, and
about 5 times my size.
"Silver, meet BigD and vice versa. If you need me, I'll be tanning," She
cooed as she slid her finger under one of his many chins. She was HOT and a
tease!
"Nice" I told BigD as she laid down on her towel a few feet away from us.
"Thanks" he said
"She have a twin sister?"
"Only child, I think"
"Too bad. What's her name? She seems really familiar"
"Hermione"
HERMIONE! I was shocked! THAT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERMIONE GRANGER! HERMIONE
GRANGER WOULD NEVER PIERCE HER NAVAL! OR GET STREAKS! OR SURF! OR WEAR
THAT! My mind began to ramble. But that might not have been her. There
could be a lot of Hermiones in the world
"Hermione what" I asked, trying not to show any emotion
"Dunno, but I think I'm gonna have to leave you two in about ten minutes.
I'm sorry this couldn't have been longer. I have important business to
attend to. I told her to spend as much time with you as you wanted and to
make sure that you were happy." He said with a wink. We went over to
Hermione. She was laying on her stomach and HER BIKINI STRINGS WERE UNTIED!
BigD said her name. She slowly tied her top back on and the two did a
little farewell that will give me nightmares until the day I die.
BigD walked away and Hermione looked really pissed.
"So, little miss perfect isn't so innocent" I mocked
"Shove it ferret face! If you knew how much I wanted to burn my skin you
wouldn't be mocking me, you would be applauding me and honor me, you would
even respect me more than you say I should respect you!" she said in a
deadly whisper
"Well, your not so little boyfriend told me that he told you to keep me
happy. And do you know what would make me really happy right now?"
"HARRY! RON!" she screamed. I was confused until I turned around and saw
Potter and Weasley coming towards us. They seemed to be wearing what I had
assumed to be the newest in swimwear. Hermione ran to them and grabbed them
in a large hug. She let go of Potter and she and freckle-face began to spin
around until her feet were flying in the air. Since Granger was my ride
back to where I was going to be going home, I had to stay. I looked around
me and saw a group of people who seemed to be my age. There were four guys
and three girls. One of the girls noticed me and walked away from her
friends. She came towards me. I decided to walk towards her and have some
fun, no matter how disgusting it was.
"Hey" I said
"Hey back. I'm Nina. You new here?" she asked. She had a sexy voice. She
was hearing a pink tube top bikini that said 'Boys are stupid, Throw rocks
at them' with a picture of a boy running away from a bunch of rocks. She
had long slender, tan legs, even though she was only about 5'3 ½ . Her bust
wasn't as big as Granger's, It was small, but not too small. She had chin-
length golden brown hair and freckles.
"I'm Draco. I was supposed to meet someone, but I can think of something a
little more interesting to do" I said. I added my famous smirk to seal the
deal, but little did I know, but she had a more powerful one. As soon as I
smirk, she checked me out and smirked her smirk.
"I saw you talking to Hermione" she nodded her head toward her
"You know her?"
"I'm the one responsible for her look"
"Well you did a good job. Much better than how she looked in June" SHIT!
Rule #_: NEVER INSULT OR SAY ANYTHING CLOSE TO OFFENDING A HOT GIRL'S EVEN
HOTTER FRIEND, EVEN IF SHE IS UGLIER OR MORE ANNOYING THAN PANSY PARKINSON!
"Wow, that didn't come out right" I said
"Really, it sounded like a compliment to me" she said in a seductive voice.
She lowered her eyelids and put her hand on her hip.
"Harry, Ron, this is Nina." I heard from behind me. I turned to find myself
face to face with the Golden Trio.
"Hey Harry, I saw you last night at what's-his-name's house, right?" Nina
asked. I was surrounded!
"Uh, yea" Potter said. DAMN! He is HORRIBLE with the ladies!
"And hi Ron. You must be the other guy in the picture Hermione has next to
her bed?"
"I hope so," he joked as he grabbed Granger around the neck. It was then
that the two bumbling idiot noticed that I was there.
"What are you doing here Malfoy!" Potter demanded
"I was about to ask you two the same thing" I said in a cold voice
"Well last time we checked these people didn't meet up to your standards"
Weasley said
"Well when did you ever meet theirs" I had no clue what I was saying, but
they were so pissed off that they didn't even notice. "Oh, and by the way,
I'm sorry Weasel, but your little mudblood friend is taken by someone who
even you could compete with, but lost to" I said with a sneer.
"Oh yeah, how's that going 'Mione?" Harry and Nina asked
"I'm gonna do it tomorrow, u wanna watch?" she asked Potter. I was so
confused, almost as much as Weasley was.
"Great! Hermione is finally coming out!" Nina said. By then her other
friends began to come by.
"Granger, what time is it?" I asked
"Um" she looked at her watch "a quarter after one, why?"
"Because, we have business to attend to right now" I said, trying to make
it not so obvious that I wanted to go home.
"Oh yeah. Sorry you guys. I'll be here tomorrow, hopefully ferret free."
She grabbed her stuff and kissed each Potter and Weasley on the cheek as
she hugged them. "Bye" We walked to the parking lot and got into her car.
"So what do you want to do now ferret?" she asked as we backed out of the
spot.
"What do you mean?"
"It was obvious that the only reason why you wanted to leave was so you
could get away from Harry and Ron and the rest of my friends. I saw you and
Nina flirting. Normally I'd warn her about you, bit in this case you should
be the warned one." She said with a smirk.
"Well, seeing how I'm wearing muggle clothes and have a bag full of muggle
money, how about you show me what you love so much about these pesky
vermin?" I said
"Or, how about I show you what I love so much about non-magic folk?" she
said in an annoyed voice, but she had a smile on her face.
We drove to a suburban area where I supposed her house was.
"So what were you doing with a computer and chatting with muggles Malfoy?"
she asked as she pulled into a driveway. "Besides revenge" she said as she
took the key out of the ignition and turned to face me.
"Oh, I, um" I stuttered. I couldn't tell her that I found the muggle
contraption interesting
"Busted!" She laughed.
We got out of the car and went to the door. I was hesitant, and she easily
noticed.
"Don't worry, my parents are at a dentist convention. They wont be home
until Thursday"
We went into the house. It was a tidy, cozy house. She told me to wait in
the room we were in as she went up the stairs. I waited about twenty
minutes until she finally came downstairs in tight dark jeans with black
writing on them and a black bra-strap tank top. She was still wearing her
black platform sandals and put on some silver jewelry. I stood up,
spellbound by her beauty, and forgot for a second that she was a filthy
mudblood. Obviously, I didn't want to spend any more time than I planned on
surrounded by the filthy creatures, but something was keeping me there, I
blamed it on curiosity to find out about why she was with BigD if it was
obvious that she didn't have any interest in him and what she was talking
about with Nina and Potter.
"Ready?" she said as she grabbed her black bag
"Uh" I snapped out of my daze "Yeah. Sure."
She took me to something called a mall. It was a big building with a bunch
of stores all together in one place. We got 'pizza', 'french-fries' and ice
cream for lunch, but kept getting snacks and going to the candy stores. We
went to some clothes stores and we tried on a bunch of outfits, only buying
some of them. She took me to a store called FYE and showed me things called
C.D.s and c.d. players and other musical items. She bought a set of
'headphones', which are things that you can listen to music through.
"If we go back to my house I'll let you listen to my c.d.'s. Are you sure
you don't want to buy any?" she asked.
"If my mother knew where I was, she would flip out and I think that if I
got any of these items she would kinda figure it out."
"What about the clothes, though?"
"Can she hear clothes?"
"Good point" she laughed.
I looked at a clock on the wall. It was already five thirty. I had spent
five and a half hours with a mudblood, WILLINGLY!!
"Well, I think that it is time for me to get going"
"OK, you sure you don't want to stay for dinner or something?" she asked.
Why was she being so nice and friendly to me? Almost all day she was like
this. I wanted to find out.
"Sure. What the heck!" I said. We went back to her house. She showed me
something called DVDs and take-out. We got muggle food and went back to her
house. The food was called pizza and she got pasta with a pink sauce with
vodka in it, but she said that the alcohol was burnt out, unfortunately. We
also got things called garlic knots and cherry coke.
When we got to the house, I carried the shopping bags and she brought in
the food. She put the food on the coffee table in front of her big screen
TV.
"I'll be right back. I have to feed Crookshanks" she said as she left the
room. It then hit me that I was in a muggle house where muggles lived, and
sat, and slept! UGH! It was DISGUSTING! Hermione came back in the room with
a small box. Inside the box was something she called a DVD.
"This is one of my favorite movies. It's called Grease. I also have Grease
2 if you want to watch it." She opened the box and a good smelling aroma
floated up to my nostrils.
"Eat" she said as she took a triangular piece of the 'pizza'
We ate the whole pizza and all of the rest of the food and drank all of the
soda. We watched both Greases and a movie called Scary Movie, which wasn't
scary.
"Is there another Scary Movie?" I asked when it ended.
"Yeah. There are two others, but I only have the second one. The third one
isn't on DVD or VHS yet" she said.
"What's a VHS?" I asked
"It's like a DVD, but it's different. It's hard to explain. Do you want to
watch a movie on VHS instead of Scary Movie 2?"
"OK"
"OH, I know! Pick one of these three, they're my faves! Ever After, The
Princess Bride, or Shakespeare in Love"
"Do you have anything less, lovey dovey?"
"Um, how about Analyze This?"
"What's it about"
"Um, a mobster whose in therapy. It's really funny. You'll love it"
"Fine"
She took out a thick rectangle and put it into a box. The movie began to
play.
"Draco,"
"Yeah?"
"Why aren't you acting all high and mighty and yadda yadda like you do in
school?"
"I don't know. Don't tell anyone this, but I kinda feel conferrable around
you" I looked at her and smiled "But why are you being so nice to me,
especially after what I've done over the years?"
"Dunno. I believe that all people deserve second chances, and you really
seemed like you needed one. Also, you're kinda fun to hang out with when
you're not with your mindless cronies and the rest of the Slytherins.
You're a really nice guy when you're like this, fun to be around."
"Thanks" I couldn't believe it. I was warming up to her and she was warming
up to me! But she's nothing but a filthy mudblood! This can't happen! But
why does it feel so great. I was finally me today. But you are Draco
Malfoy! Hater of muggles and mudbloods!
My mind was racing. I looked down at Hermione. She looked so young and
carefree. YOUNG! TIME!
I quickly looked at a clock. IT WAS ALMOST TEN O CLOCK!!! I jumped up and
began to panic!
"What is it Draco?" Hermione asked.
"IT'S ALMOST TEN!"
"Really?" she asked. "Is your mom gonna be mad. By the way that you
described her before, she doesn't really care about you or anything. She
never notices you and only cares about appearances"
She was right, but if I came home now she would ground me or something.
"Yeah, but I'll get in trouble if I come home at this hour" I said, not
knowing what to do
"Do you have pajamas?"
"What?"
"You said that if you came home at this hour you would be in trouble. If
you sent your mom an owl telling her that you were at a fellow wizard's
house for a sleepover, then you would have an excuse to get home in the
morning." I stared at her, dumbfounded. She smiled and said "I'm the master
of loopholes"
"Really? Can I?"
"Sure. It's really lonely and I enjoy your company. And if Harry or Ron
heard that they'd think that I was on drugs or something."
"Do you have an owl?"
"No, but there's a way that you would end this to your mother without one.
I've been studying this for a while. Write a not to your mother"
I did as told and gave her the letter.
She threw some floo powder into the fireplace and screamed "NARCISSA
MALFOY!" and threw the letter into the green fire.
"But I thought that floo powder only worked for people"
"It does, but I mixed it with a few ingredients and now it can also send
mail."
"Cool. Well, what do you want to do now?"
"Well, I was thinking about doing homework before you came over, but I'm
fine with anything."
"Homework? It's no wonder your friends keep trying to give you a new look.
To cover up your boring personality" I joked.
"Not funny, but true" She said. "Well, um, we could go to a dance club, or
I could show you some other fun muggle stuff or-"
"That sounds like fun, the muggle stuff thing. So far I like the malls,
food, and movies. What else is there?"
"Follow me" she took my hand and led me to the basement. She turned on the
lights and I saw the coolest room I had ever been in. It was blue and
purple with some green and deep red. There were canvases and paints and
sewing equipment with fabrics and in the middle of the room were a drum set
and an electric guitar. I knew what there were because I had read a book
about muggle music when I was bored one night. Hermione jogged to the
instruments with a big smile on her face.
"What do you think?" she said as she gestured at her instruments.
"Cool! Do you know how to play them?"
"Yeah! I've been playing both since second year. Do you want to learn?"
"Um. OK, which one?"
"Are you a lefty or a righty?"
"Righty"
"Drums, the guitar is for lefties"
We practiced all night and by the morning I was actually playing so you
could almost tell that I was playing to a tune. It was the most fun I had
had in years.
I stood outside the place where I was supposed to meet BigD001, but when a
car stopped in front of me, a girl came out. And not just any girl. She had
long, slender legs. She had all of the right curves and her hair was sleek
and shiny. She was wearing sunglasses, but I could see the majority of her
beautiful face. She was wearing a dark green string bikini, open jeans, and
black platform sandals. She looked at me and smiled. I made my way towards
her as she came towards me.
"So, I finally meet SilverDragon" she said
"How'd you tell?" I asked
"You seem like BigD001 described" she said. Her voice was seductive, yet
sweet. She made a smirk with her deep-red colored lips and walked to her
car. I expected that she wanted me to follow her, so I did.
We got into her car and she began to drive to the beach.
"I'm sorry, but I have some bad news about BigD" she said
"And what is it?" I asked in my sexiest voice
"He's a moronic, small-minded, arrogant, pig-in-a-wig, jerky imbecile and
you are not going to be happy when you meet him" she said in a monotone.
"Then how about you and I just not go to him? We can spend the whole day,
just the two of us" I said, making my voice sound even sexier.
She laughed a little and said "I don't think so. We're both here for the
same reason and if you find out why it is, I'll tell him not only who and
what you are, but I'll just throw in some things for fun, got it?" I could

"Nice" I told BigD as she laid down on her towel a few feet away from us.
"Thanks" he said
"She have a twin sister?"
"Only child, I think"
"Too bad. What's her name? She seems really familiar"
"Hermione"
HERMIONE! I was shocked! THAT COULDN'T HAVE BEEN HERMIONE GRANGER! HERMIONE

you" I looked at her and smiled "But why are you being so nice to me,
especially after what I've done over the years?"
"Dunno. I believe that all people deserve second chances, and you really
seemed like you needed one. Also, you're kinda fun to hang out with when
you're not with your mindless cronies and the rest of the Slytherins.
You're a really nice guy when you're like this, fun to be around."
"Thanks" I couldn't believe it. I was warming up to her and she was warming
up to me! But she's nothing but a filthy mudblood! This can't happen! But
why does it feel so great. I was finally me today. But you are Draco
Malfoy! Hater of muggles and mudbloods!
My mind was racing. I looked down at Hermione. She looked so young and
carefree. YOUNG! TIME!
I quickly looked at a clock. IT WAS ALMOST TEN O CLOCK!!! I jumped up and
began to panic!
"What is it Draco?" Hermione asked.
"IT'S ALMOST TEN!"
"Really?" she asked. "Is your mom gonna be mad. By the way that you
described her before, she doesn't really care about you or anything. She
never notices you and only cares about appearances"
She was right, but if I came home now she would ground me or something.
"Yeah, but I'll get in trouble if I come home at this hour" I said, not
knowing what to do
"Do you have pajamas?"
"What?"
"You said that if you came home at this hour you would be in trouble. If
you sent your mom an owl telling her that you were at a fellow wizard's
house for a sleepover, then you would have an excuse to get home in the
morning." I stared at her, dumbfounded. She smiled and said "I'm the master
of loopholes"
"Really? Can I?"
"Sure. It's really lonely and I enjoy your company. And if Harry or Ron
heard that they'd think that I was on drugs or something."
"Do you have an owl?"
"No, but there's a way that you would end this to your mother without one.
I've been studying this for a while. Write a not to your mother"
I did as told and gave her the letter.
She threw some floo powder into the fireplace and screamed "NARCISSA
MALFOY!" and threw the letter into the green fire.
"But I thought that floo powder only worked for people"
"It does, but I mixed it with a few ingredients and now it can also send
mail."
"Cool. Well, what do you want to do now?"
"Well, I was thinking about doing homework before you came over, but I'm
fine with anything."
"Homework? It's no wonder your friends keep trying to give you a new look.
To cover up your boring personality" I joked.
"Not funny, but true" She said. "Well, um, we could go to a dance club, or
I could show you some other fun muggle stuff or-"
"That sounds like fun, the muggle stuff thing. So far I like the malls,
food, and movies. What else is there?"
"Follow me" she took my hand and led me to the basement. She turned on the
lights and I saw the coolest room I had ever been in. It was blue and
purple with some green and deep red. There were canvases and paints and
sewing equipment with fabrics and in the middle of the room were a drum set
and an electric guitar. I knew what there were because I had read a book
about muggle music when I was bored one night. Hermione jogged to the
instruments with a big smile on her face.
"What do you think?" she said as she gestured at her instruments.
"Cool! Do you know how to play them?"
"Yeah! I've been playing both since second year. Do you want to learn?"
"Um. OK, which one?"
"Are you a lefty or a righty?"
"Righty"
"Drums, the guitar is for lefties"
We practiced all night and by the morning I was actually playing so you
could almost tell that I was playing to a tune. It was the most fun I had
had in years.
