Chapter 5
Hermione stood in the doorway and pondered on Pansy's appearance in her room. Was Pansy jealous? Hermione thought. Hermione had done more things with Malfoy in a 3-hour period than she ever dreamed she would in a lifetime. Did Pansy think she had a crush on Malfoy? Hermione took off her shoes and dress and put on comfortable black silk pants and a matching silk top. Hermione pulled her hair back and sat on her bed. About an hour later after Hermione drifted off into sleep she was awaken by her bedroom door being opened.
"Hey Hermione, why did you leave so early?" Her mother said as her father sat next to her on the bed.
"I was feeling tired and I had a few things to do before retiring, I hope that was okay" Hermione said sitting up and yawning.
"Yes that's fine Hermione, the last of the Guests are clearing out but there is someone here to say goodnight." Her Father said getting up and heading towards the door. He stepped out and as her mother was about to exit and she whispered:
"I think Mr. Malfoy is quit smitten with you," she said winking. As she turned around Hermione groaned. Why won't he leave her alone? The door creaked open and in came Malfoy with his white blonde hair.
"What do you want?" Hermione said.
"Gosh Granger, ever learn how to treat your guests? Guess not but listen we have to talk." He said looking serious
"What about?" Hermione said
"Ok, I don't know what in the world you've done but it is fucking messing up my life, you listen, I don't intend on marrying some fucking mudblood, that thinks she is all high and mighty just because she's a Valdoy." He said gripping her arm and talking so loud that he was almost spitting.
"Who ever said I was marrying you" Hermione said pulling her arm away.
"Listen you fucking whore, our parents have been talking, I heard them and I heard the word marriage, Hermione, and Draco used in the same sentence, now you tell me what you think that means?" Draco said standing up.
"Get the fuck out of here you ingrate" Hermione hissed at him. "Don't ever let me see your face again," Hermione said so pissed of. Draco eyed her and hurried out of the room.
Hermione fell asleep that night but not without the vision of Draco haunting her mind. Hermione woke up the next morning around 10 and got dressed and went down stairs. She sat at the table and began to eat the fruit sitting on the plate. "Good morning mum," she said as she finished a sweet strawberry off "Good morning father" she said.
"So did you like your party?" Her Father asked.
"Yes actually I did, I quite enjoyed myself." Hermione said smiling at the two of them and remembering Malfoy's words.
"Did you like Mr. Malfoy?" Her mother asked smiling.
"No" Hermione answered simply.
"What? Why?" Her father said to her "You seemed to be enjoying his company last night, I saw you stealing looks at him" He said smiling, trying to change her mind.
"Okay Hermione, what is your view on marriage?" Her mother asked after sipping her juice. Hermione nearly choked on her cantaloupe.
"W...what" Hermione said sputtering. "I mean, I think marriage is a wonderful when joining two of the right people. I think arranged marriages are wrong, so wrong, because what if you completely can't stand the person and you couldn't help but kill them if given the chance?" Hermione said hoping her mum and dad would get the point.
"Oh, well Mr. Malfoy is coming by, courtesy of Lucius, and your mother and Narcissa are going to lunch, so you may go to Diagon Alley with Draco or stay here to get to know him a bit better." Her mother said smiling.
"You know I don't appreciate how you are forcing him onto me, but I'll make an effort just because I love you guys." Hermione said. "May I be excused?" Hermione said as she got up.
"Yes you may." Her father said smiling with satisfaction.
Hermione went up to her bedroom to find her owl Luna sitting on the windowsill with two letters attached to her legs. Hermione let her in and she flew to a halt on her desk. Hermione opened the first letter from Harry.
Hey Hermione
I can't believe you're adopted? You're related to the Ancients? (Who are they?) Well life has been hell with the Dursley's and I'm grateful Mrs. Figg has been inviting me over often. When are you taking your apparation test? I'm going July 1st, maybe if Ron and I pass (I know you will) we can meet up in Diagon Alley or Hogsmead. Well owl me back, I have to go because the Dursley's are calling me bye!
Harry
Hermione opened the second letter and read the scrawl.
Hey Hermione,
So know your some rich witch, and live in this giant manor. Lucky you don't live one Walter Way because then you would be neighbors with Malfoy. Eww. GUESS WHAT! My dad is taking over the minister of magic because the other one died! Read tomorrows newspaper. It will be in there. Well I'll let you go have fun livin' it large!
Best, Ron
Hermione smiled for Ron she felt so happy for him. She got up and hastily wrote letters to her best friends. Hermione had her apparation test set for June 30, so she mentioned that in the letters. Hermione tidied up a bit better because she didn't want Malfoy taunting her anymore than he already did. Hermione put on black jeans and a gray spaghetti strap cami top over that she put on a black jacket and wore black flip-flops Hermione tucked her wand into the inside pocket of her jacket and set off downstairs. Hermione looked at the giant wall on the clock and scowled. Malfoy was already 12 minutes late. Frustrated Hermione stood up.
"I'm leaving to Diagon Alley." She called out, suddenly then door rang.
"Oh I'll bet that's them." Her mother said smiling at Hermione.
"Fun" Hermione said. Her Father opened the door and invited the Malfoy family in. Hermione stepped back slightly and smiled at Mrs. Malfoy.
"How are you today?" She asked very elegantly. Hermione would have never guessed she was Malfoy Sr.'s wife, or Malfoy JR's mother.
"I'm fine, thank-you" Hermione said smiling.
"I hope you have fun with my son today." She said walking off to join Hermione's mother. About 5 minutes later Hermione's mom came over before they were about to leave.
"Okay Hermione this is your very own pin card, you slide it through the register and type in your pin which is 183847" she said handing her a piece of paper with the number on it. "It will automatically take the money out of our vault. Use it wisely. Have fun" She said walking through the door with Mrs. Malfoy. Malfoy sneered at her and walked towards the door.
"Come on" He growled. Hermione followed him and they walked for about a minute when they came to a big house about the same size as Hermione's and Drake went in. Hermione stood out side the door and waited. The door opened and a tiny house elf dressed in rags, opened the door and ushered her in.
"Mr. Malfoy has had Tweet fetch Hermione," the house elf said. The house elf beckoned her to a large living room and Malfoy stood by a big fireplace with a gold pot.
"Hurry up Granger." He said throwing the floo powder in the fireplace. The flames roared green and he stepped into them. "Diagon Alley." He said clearly. The flames swallowed him up and Hermione followed the same thing he did.
"Diagon Alley" She said as she pulled her arms in and stumbled out of the fireplace into a dark store. Hermione looked around. She had no idea where she was and started to worry when people in dark cloaks roamed about the store buying human eyes and deadmans toes. Hermione stumbled out of the store and smacked into a big shape.
"We got are selves a pretty one ehh?" A voice said grabbing Hermione's hair and sniffing it.
"Get away from me" She mumbled
"What? Can't I have a little love babe?" The man said as more men stood around.
"What's 'er name Fred?" A stupid sounding voice called from the ring of men.
"I don't know, what is your name?" Fred said putting his sausage hands on her hips and pulling her at him.
"Let go of me" Hermione said smacking him, she couldn't think of anything to do. She could usually think on her feet but not now.
"Oh little Missy here wants to play rough huh? Well two can play at that game," He said knocking her against the wall. He ran his hands under her shirt and felt her breasts.
"Please stop" Hermione said as tears rolled down her face. She reached for her wand and poked the guy in the face. He reached out and slapped her. Her cheek smarted and she started to cry.
"MALFOY!" she screamed. Suddenly she heard a voice call out "CRUCIO!" and her attacker fell to the floor writhing in agony.
"Whoa Mr. Malfoy, I'm real sorry, this your girlfriend" Fred her attacker said as the pain wore off.
"Yeah as a matter o' fact she is" Malfoy said grabbing Hermione's wrist and pulling her out of there. After a 2 minute walk Malfoy sat Hermione on a barrel on the side of the building of 'The Three Broomsticks'. "Wait here he said as he disappeared inside of the big restraunt.
Malfoy came out seconds later with a paper cup and water and ice in it. He took a handkerchief out of his pocket and dipped it into the cup and rubbed it over Hermione's sore cheek. His touch was so gentle Hermione felt comfort wash over her.
"Uh... thank-you Malfoy" Hermione said as she felt herself blush.
"Uh...okay" Malfoy said as he whispered a spell and the water turned green. He soaked the hanky in it and pulled it out. It turned solid and he rubbed her face with it. He cheek stopped hurting and she could tell the redness would go away without bruising. "Uh. Granger your shirt." He said looking away blushing.
"Oh my gosh" Hermione said pulling her shirt down and adjusting the front so half of her breast wasn't showing. "I'm sorry, I didn't know" Hermione said looking away as her face turned deep crimson.
"It's okay, what happened?" He asked looking at her concerned.
"I followed you and when I got out of the fireplace I didn't know where I was and I left the store and these big guys started to attack me. I had no idea where you where." She said as fresh tears fell down her cheeks.
"I'm sorry, I didn't know you weren't behind me, because you were so quiet and...and..." He stopped "lets walk around"
For the afternoon they walked around and shopped. They didn't talk much and they sort of minded there own business.
"Why did you have to come today?" Hermione asked
"My mom insisted I get to know you," He said coolly.
"Oh" Hermione said. "I have to be home by 4 and it's 3:45 so I'd better get going." She said walking towards an open fireplace.
"Wait Granger here" He handed her a little bag of floo powders and he took the fireplace next to her.
"Bye" Hermione said
"Granger, don't think this is ever fucking happening again." With that Malfoy disappeared.
"AHH" Hermione shrieked. She said her destination, stepped into the fireplace and appeared home once again.
