A few weeks had passed and it was early October. Draco sat on the fence, like he had so many other nights; gazing out at the grazing horses.
He and Hermione had actually become pretty good friends. Sure, they still had their differences. He was still an arrogant prick (according to Hermione) and she was still a know-it-all (though Draco didn't complain much when she would help him with his chemistry homework) But, despite these differences, they had similarities as well.
He never thought he would enjoy the company of a Gryffindor, especially a muggle-born. He still didn't know what side to chose though, in this war. He didn't want to be a death eater, it was too risky for him, the Dark Lord would kill anyone, even one of his own Death Eaters, without a second thought, and he wanted to live to be 60 or 70 thank you very much. But he also didn't want to go against his father or the Dark Lord either, because that would probably be worse than actually joining the "good" side.
"Hey Draco." Hermione's voice came from behind him.
"Hn."
"Korimi says dinner is ready."
Draco sighed, and decided to deal with everything once he got back to Hogwarts, for now he was just going to enjoy the company of his new friend. "If Liz id eating with us today then I'll pass."
Hermione chuckled. "It wasn't that bad."
The blond turned and half heartily glared at her. "She put mashed potatoes and ketchup in my hair!"
Hermione laughed a little harder.
Draco jumped down. "Yes Haha. Laugh it up Granger."
The Gryffindor stopped laughed and continued to grin, as the two walked inside for dinner.
"It looks like Mr. And Mrs. Malfoy finally decided to join us." An amused voice said.
Hermione blushed and Draco glared at the redheaded teen. "Very funny Ivanov."
Tala grinned. "I thought so."
The Slytherin rolled his eyes and sat down. Surprising as it was, he was even getting along with Tala, and the other people he lived with.
The rest of the table laughed and ate their dinner before going off to do their own things.
Hermione was meeting Greg tonight to work on their project. Hermione had offered to let Draco to work with them, but he refused. He couldn't stand Greg, and for reasons he couldn't explain. He just didn't like him. He couldn't stand the way he looked at Hermione whenever he saw her, or always found an excuse to brush up against her.
He scowled at the thought of them downstairs alone, in the living room working on the project together.
"Scowling at the ceiling won't do you any good you know." Tala's voice came from his bedroom door.
Draco sat up and glared at the redhead. "What do you want?"
Tala chuckled and entered the room. "Hermione and...what was his name again?" He pretended to look thoughtful.
"Greg." Draco growled, Tala smirked.
"Right. Greg. They look pretty comfy on the couch downstairs." Smirk deepening when Draco scowled even more.
"Oh. Did I push a button?"
"I don't know what you're talking about." The Slytherin muttered, suddenly very interested in his comforter.
"I think you do." Tala replied smartly.
"No one asked you."
The redhead chuckled. "Just making an obvious observation."
"Which is?" Growled Draco.
Tala continued to smirk. "You have a thing for Hermione don't you?"
Draco, to say the least, was shocked. 'No way!' His mind screamed at him "You're crazy if you think I would ever fall for Granger."
Tala continued to smirk.
"Stop smirking!" Draco said in an annoyed voice.
The redhead chuckled before walking out of the room.
Draco glared at the retreating figure, before turning on the t.v and watched CSI on Spike t.v.
Smirking, Draco got up when the show was over, 'That was an easy one to figure out.' He thought to himself as he walked downstairs to grab something to eat. He walked passed Korimi's room when he heard his name.
"...How are we going to get Malfoy to go against his father Tala? From what Dumbledore has told us his father will do anything to make Draco into a Death Eater, and Draco just does what any other son would do, and that's listen to his father...the kid doesn't even want to be a Death Eater!"
Tala sighed. "I know. But something like this takes time, And Dumbledore has already explained that to us. The fact the Malfoy rather save his own arse than do what's right is also going to prove a challenge in us trying to convince him to join us."
"I know." Sighed Korimi. "I'm going to send an owl to Dumbledore telling him about the attack and also tell him Draco hasn't made his mind yet."
Draco heard Korimi walking towards the door, and quickly walked downstairs to get food, mind buzzing with the conversation he just heard.
'I knew there was something weird about this family.' Draco thought, as he grabbed a thing of Pringles.
"Bye Greg!" He heard Hermione say from the foyer, then she walked into the kitchen and saw Draco walking into the living room to go watch another episode of CSI.
"Hello Draco." Hermione said smiling at him, sitting on the other couch.
"Hn."
"What's up?"
"Do you like that Greg kid?" He muttered, before he could stop himself.
"What?" Hermione said in a shocked voice.
"Nothing." Draco said quickly.
Hermione gave him an odd look.
"This family is hiding something." He said, changing the subject.
The Gryffindor looked at him confused. "What are you on about?"
"Tala and Korimi, and the rest of the people in this house...they know about Dumbledore and the Dark Lord...I'm telling you, they're not ordinary muggles, hell I don't even think they're muggles!"
"How do you know this?" asked Hermione. Part of her wanted to stay out of Korimi and the other's business, butt her curiosity was getting the better of her.
"I heard them talking about how I need to be on their side or something."
"Draco you don't even know what they were talking about-"
"Does it matter? Admit it Hermione, there's something weird about this family, they know too much about the wizarding world to be muggles."
Hermione had to admit it, Draco had a point. They didn't know an awful lot about their world. "Ok. Maybe they are hiding something but it's not our business-"
"You want to know as much as I do what they're hiding, so don't deny it." Draco cut her off, fixing her with his steel gaze.
She sighed. "Ok. Fine. I do want to know what they're hiding."
Draco smirked. Finding out what this family was all about was going to be fun.
