Hi everybody! I just noticed that I loose my mind every two days and I can never seem to find it. And when I do loose it I start laughing uncontrollably, but then I find it so all is good. Thanks to the reviewers, I really appreciate your reviews. I don't own anything, so on with the story.
Draco went and got the veggies, gravy mix, and beef from the 'fridge and started to cut and clean stuff. Hermione was going through one of her mother's big cooking books of desserts. Daphnie was trying to get all of the table wear that they were going to need before the family got there.
"Sweetie, exactly how do you make the gravy?" asked Draco, looking at the package.
Hermione took the package and read it through.
"Think of it as a potion. You need to add all of these things, as it would be on a board in class. And do each one at the right time and right order or you fail. Not to add any pressure on you or anything." Said Hermione, smiling.
"Oh, well thanks. Pressure has just been added. Now I'm waiting for the big explosion to occur." Draco said sarcastically.
Hermione finally found two of them that she wanted to make. She was going to make strawberry shortcake and floating fruit parfaits. Two of her most favorite deserts. But before she started on them she wanted to make the rolls first.

"That Draco chap is a really great person for Hermione don't you think?" asked Daphnie, sitting on the armrest of her husband's chair.
"I think so. She seems really happy with him, I'm happy if she's happy. They kind of remind me of us when we were younger." Simon said thoughtfully.
Both Grangers's sighed and settled to watch some Muggle news.
"Well now that that's done, time to start on my favorite part." Hermione said with a smile getting all of the ingredients.
"How's it coming kids?" asked Simon walking into the kitchen.
"Great. I think I finally get the hang of this cooking thing without magic." Said Draco, checking on the stew.
"That's good. And Hermione dear, how about you?" he asked, going over to her.
"I'm doing alright. I just have to wait for the oven to get heated up and I can put the pans in." said Hermione, starting on the second dessert.
"Ok. We'll come and check up on you in a little while. Mike and Kevin will be here in about and hour." Said Simon, exiting the room.
(Knock, knock!)
"They're here. Simon will you get the door please." Said Daphnie, setting things on the table.
Simon got up from reading the paper and he went to answer the door and greeted four people. Mike and Kevin along with their parents.
"Hello. Long time since we last saw you." Said Kevin, hugging Simon.
"Yeah. How are you Sabrina and Chris? Hermione brought a friend home, hold on let me go and get them." Said Simon, taking their coats so they could sit down.
Hermione, Draco and Daphine all walked out of the kitchen. Cheeks pink from the heat of the stove and oven.
"Hi everyone. This is my boyfriend Draco Malfoy." Said Hermione.
It must be a Granger thing because the little bunch pounded them with hugs and kisses. Then they stood back and did it again.
"Hi Draco I'm Sabrina and this is my husband Chris. And I'm sure Hermione's told you all about our sons Kevin and Mike." Sabrina said, smiling happily.
Draco nodded and smiled back. Mike and Kevin dragged Draco outside while Hermione was getting everything else ready for lunch.
"So, you're Draco Malfoy? We've heard a lot about you. Your parents are really rich, you're a spoiled brat and now you're trying to move in on our favorite cousin. I don't think so buddy." Said Kevin. As he and his brother walked in a circle around Draco.
"Hold it, listen for a second. I'm not spoiled or anything. My parents are rich but what does that have to do with anything. And I'm not trying to move in on any body. So what's this all about?" asked Draco, putting a tight grip on his wand.
"Nothing. We're just trying to get some information out of you. And we don't know any other way to get it besides hitting weak spots. Trust me, we're a lot smarter than we look." Said Mike.
"Fine, what do you want to know?" asked Draco.
"First, why are you with her? As in, what are your intentions?" asked Kevin, taking out a note pad.
"Nothing. I love her and that's about all there is to it. Whatever happens has to happen. Next question. "Draco said truthfully.
Kevin wrote down his every word. Then he passed it on to Mike, who took out his pen and asked a question.
"Second, have you and her ever... you know...? And how many times do you kiss her on a regular basis?" asked Mike.
Before Draco answered that horrible question Hermione came storming out.
"What are you guys doing to him. Leave Draco alone got it. No we've never done it and the next few questions you're about to ask, it's none of your business. And your mother would like a word with you." Said Hermione, taking Draco's hand and walking away.
"I'm so sorry baby. They're like that even when friends came over from across the street." Said Hermione.
"It's alright. I can understand how family is, mine is the same way. Are we allowed to eat now, I'm starving." Said Draco.
Hermione laughed and Simon started putting Draco's stew into each bowl and Daphine added a roll and her fried mashed potatoes.

"Are you all ready for dessert. It took me a while to find it in the cookbook. But here it is my two favorites, Strawberry shortcake and fruit parfaits." Said Hermione.
She put down a beautiful looking cake. For the icing she used whipped cream and put a strawberry on each cut. And the inside had a layer of whipped cream and chopped strawberries. And the parfaits were put into beautiful dessert cups. Nice blueberry and syrup were at the bottom followed by blueberry Jell-O pudding and whipped cream. Everyone really enjoyed himself or herself.
"So, Hermione how long have you both known each other?" asked Sabrina, taking a sip of tea.
"Um, we went to school together and then didn't see one another for a year and then he became my gymnastics coach." Said Hermione, smiling brightly.
"Which reminds me. Hermione won her first competition a week ago and now she has another one in a few days and it would be really great if you all came to watch." Said Draco.
"Sure we'd love to come. And you have to call us to tell the time and location, we wouldn't miss little Hermione for the whole world." Said Daphine, really proud of her daughter.
Simon and Daphine also smiled at Draco as though they were looking at a loving son of their own.
When the other family left Draco and Hermione went riding bikes and they went to the mall because Hermione had to pick up a few things. After shopping they brought the parents along for a drive-in movie.
"Do you want something babe? I'm on my way to the stand." Said Draco.
"Can I have some popcorn and a water please. And here, this should be enough for whatever you want too." Said Hermione giving him a twenty-pound note.
Draco nodded and went to get the stuff. Overly confused and Daphine had to go over and help him to understand the system of money.
"I'm sorry. That was my first time dealing with Muggle money." Said Draco.
"Don't worry about it darling. You'll have plenty of time to learn about it all." She said with a smile.
The rest of the day went wonderfully. Draco sat back and watched Hermione spend time with her family and he went wondering through the house exploring different stuff. Then he found a book with Hermione's name on it. Draco looked through the pages and saw Hermione from when she was born until now. She was so cute when she was smaller, carrying around a book always and exploring new things.
Then there was this picture of her when she got her acceptance letter. Her face was bright and smiling along with her mother. Draco smiled at the picture. Then he turned the page and saw her standing with Harry and Ron. Draco then felt a surge of jealousy and guilt. He was jealous because Ron and Harry were closer to her than he was by far. And he felt guilt when he remembered all of those times that he had made them all feel bad. Draco mentally kicked himself.
"What are you looking at baby?" asked Hermione, snuggling up next to him.
"Just a book with your pictures in it." Said Draco, placing the book where she could see it.
Hermione looked at the page and saw why Draco's brow was slightly furrowed.
"You're jealous of Harry and Ron now right? Go ahead and just admit it." Said Hermione.
Draco slowly nodded his head.
"You shouldn't be. They've never been to my house and met my cousins, or have gotten to kiss me, or live with me. Only you, and to me that makes you really special." Said Hermione, making circles on his ear.
Draco looked into her eyes. They were brown but also really bright at the same time, her eyes were really enlightening and seemed to make everything around her so much lively and interesting. Hermione looked into Draco's eyes and they didn't look so cold any more. It was more like a cooling aluminum or mercury. His eyes were perfect in their own way and she loved them. Draco stretched out his arms to hug her.
"You have really gorgeous eyes." Draco whispered, his head resting on hers.
"I like yours too." Hermione whispered back.
"You know, you're the first boy that I've ever brought home to meet my parents." Said Hermione, taking in Draco's scents.
"Really, why?" Draco asked.
"Because, I didn't stand a chance with the others. They were all exotic, really great guys, but not my exact type you know. We didn't really have much in common and everything was a little too fast for me." Said Hermione.
"So that makes me special right?" Draco asked.
Hermione nodded. Draco then felt a surge of love for Hermione and then at the same time a surge of triumphant glory at being her first true boyfriend.
They stayed like that for a little while, enjoying one another's company. Daphnie came from her room to see the two talking quietly. She hated to do this but she interrupted them.
"Darlings, don't you think it's a little late to be up. You've got to train dear and I don't want to sprain anything. So get some sleep you two." She said watching them climb the steps.
Hermione's room was like your average girls' room. Everything was white and maroon. She had a big wardrobe and a big brass bed and a lot of pillows with a canopy over top. She had a bookshelf and a nice desk and two nightstands. She had a toy chest with all of her most prized possessions in it. She had this door that led to a balcony over looking the courtyard. In the corner by the door their was a vanity area with Hollywood lights all around.
"So what do you think of my room?" asked Hermione, as they sat up in bed.
Draco looked around again.
"It's really nice but a little too neat don't you think?" asked Draco.
"I like for things to be orderly. I don't have a single messy thing in my room." Said Hermione, admiring her beautiful vanity area.
Hermione smiled and then covered herself and Draco in the nice warm covers. She slowly counted down to 1 from 5 before she felt Draco's arms around her again. She found this very relaxing and went to sleep quickly.
