-----------...........------------
It had been 3 days since Draco and Hermione had found out about Korimi and the others, and things around the house had gotten more interesting. Korimi and Draco would argue over quidditch, and Draco had also learned of the Order. A few days ago, Tala, Dumldore, and Remus had convinced him to join the Orders' side, and go against his father. With some persuasion, Draco agreed.
The end of day bell rang as Draco and Hermione began to gather their stuff to meet Korimi at her car, since they didn't have to stay after school, because field hockey and soccer were both over.
They reached the silver Mercedes, and only waited for a few moments when Korimi came strolling out of the school.
"Hey Malfoy." She said when she reached them. "Me, Bryan and Kai were going to have a game of quidditch at my house, you in?"
"There's a field at the house?" Hermione asked, surprised. "I never saw it."
Korimi laughed. Not at the house we're staying at. My REAL house." She said, as they climbed into the car. "There's a meeting tonight and I thought since it was Friday, we could just spend the weekend there."
Why is the meeting at your house? I mean...most of the Order members are from England-"
"Which is why it's safer, plus, it made sure you, Harry, and Rom didn't over hear something you shouldn't." She paused when Hermione gave her a look that said 'I would never do that!' "Don't give me that look Hermione." Korimi laughed. "You know I'm right."
Hermione pouted, she hated to admit it but Korimi couldn't be closer to the truth. Her Harry and Ron had a knack for overhearing things...ok so they would do it on purpose but that's not the point!
"Not only that, but...ever since Sirius died, Grimmauld Place just isn't safe anymore." She sounded sad at the mention of Sirius, which told Hermione that she knew him and obviously cared about him as much as Harry did. "Especially with Kreacher there. I swear if I ever get my hands on that elf I'll make him wish he was never born." She said dangerously.
Hermione opened her mouth to retort, but Draco cut her off. "I swear Hermione if you say one thing about elf rights I'm going to wring your neck."
Hermione huffed, and glared at him.
The rest of the ride was made in silence (with the exception of Korimi's music). It didn't take long for them to arrive at the house, but when they got there, it was not what they expected.
"Oh my god." Korimi in a somewhat panicked voice, quickly getting out of the car with Hermione and Draco following suit. Hermione gasped as Draco's eye's widened.
A green scull with a snake protruding from its mouth hovered over a ½-destroyed house.
Without another word, Korimi took off towards the house at a sprint.
"KORIMI! WAIT!" Hemione yelled as she took off towards the other girl. "It could be dangerous!"
Draco stared at the two girls retreating figures, before taking a deep and following after them.
They got inside the house, and began to walk down the hall. "Both of you stay close to me got it?" Korimi whispered, taking her wand out of her pocket.
The two nodded as they got into the kitchen, where Hermione gasped and clung to Draco's arm. "Oh my..." She gasped.
Lying on the floor of the destroyed kitchen was Kingsley Shacklebolt. Dead.
"Who is this?" Draco asked.
"Quiet!" Korimi hissed, as she climbed over some debris. "He's Kingsley Shacklebolt. Part of the Order." She said kneeling down examining his body. "Shit." She hissed, before standing up.
"What? What is it?" Hermione asked in a panicked voice.
"Nothing. Just come on and-" Korimi cut herself as something caught her eye. Raising her wand, she stared to where she saw the disturbance.
(A/N: Maybe I should just leave it here....-grin-)
(gets random objects thrown at her...OK OK! Geez... No need to get violent!)
"Put...the wand...down..." Bryan's voice said, as he came downstairs.
With a sigh of relief, Korimi obeyed. "Geez, Bryan. You nearly got yourself scorched."
"Somehow that doesn't surprise me that you would do that." Bryan muttered.
"Haha."
Behind her, Korimi heard Hermione gasp.
"Tsk. Tsk Korimi. I would have thought that you would never let your guard down. Especially when there's been a sign of attack. I thought I taught you better than that."
Korimi growled and whipped around, glaring at the new comer. "I thought I killed you."
The man smirked. "You can't kill me. You too weak!"
The girl growled, again and her glare intensed.
Draco looked at the intruder. He looked familiar, he could have sworn he's seen this guy somewhere, but where? The it dawned on him , as the cold grey eyes met his own. Boris! How could he forget? Especially those lustful looks the man would give him at the one party his father had. Draco shuddered. Sick.
Boris smirked when he saw a young brunette clinging to Lucius Malfoy's son. "Well, well, well what a surprise, Draco Malfoy." He drawled. "And could this be the mudblood Hermione Granger clinging to his arm like some whore?" He chuckled as Draco glared intensely at the man. "I'll be sure to tell Lucius what a disgrace his son is."
Draco backed up, dragging Hermione with him. "Who I associate with is none of your business Balcov." He growled.
"Ph but it is. Associating with mudbloods. One might think you a Weasley."
"What's wrong with that?! At least they're a decent family! Unlike the Malfoys!" She covered her mouth when the last 3 words came out of her mouth. "I didn't mean you Draco I-"
"Don't worry about it..." Draco said softly, still glaring at the man in front of him. Why didn't he care that someone just insulted his family? Maybe because what Hermione said was true. The people in his family we're exactly saints. "I know what you meant."
Boris smirked. "Aaww how sweet, Draco has fallen for a mudblood...you're in for a rude awakening boy when you return home.
"Who said he had to go home?!" Hermione half yelled at the man.
"Hermione quiet!" Hissed Draco furiously.
Chuckling once more, Boris disapparated.
"C'mon. We can't stay here. It's too dangerous. Tala already went to Dumbledore. We need to get home." Bryan said.
"Right...c'mon you two." Korimi said, starting towards the door, looking paler than before.
Once they got home, Hermione looked at the other girl, as they entered the house. "Korimi, are you ok? You look pretty shook up.
"I'm fine. I'm going to head to the barn for a while ok?" Korimi said in a dull voice.
"Ok."
Korimi opened the door, when Hermione spoke again. "Korimi? I'm...I'm sorry...about your house I mean."
Korimi looked at her and gave a small smile. "It's ok really. We can repair it." She said before heading outside.
Hermione went into the living room and sat on the couch, with Draco following her. Taking a deep shuddering breath. "You know. Ever year I wish to have a normal year. You know? No chasing after Voldemort. No putting my life in danger. Just a normal year. But, something always happens."
Draco always remained silent.
"And this year. The exchange program thing happened. I kind of thought that I would finally be able to have a few normal months."
"And now this happens." Draco said quietly.
Hermione nodded. "I'm scared. I mean. What if the only reason that Korimi's house was attacked because we were here? And who was that man Boris? What did Korimi mean about she thought she killed him?"
"Hermione-"
"What if we never came here? Would thing be better?" Hermione kept rambling on about who knows what, as Draco sat there, trying to somehow get her to shut up.
Finally fed up with her pointless ranting, he cut her off but pressing his lips against hers, successively shutting her up. Surprisingly, she responded, so he didn't pull away, anything to keep her quiet for now. Finally, they had to pull back for air.
The two teens stared at each other with wide eyes as they just realized what they had just done.
"Aaaww...nothing like a first kiss huh guys? And guess who just got a picture of it." Ian cackled from behind them.
Hermione blushed a deep red, as Draco growled, glaring at the midget. "Ian..." He snarled. "YOU'RE DEAD IF YOU DON'T GIVE ME THAT FILM!"
"Come and TRY to get it from me!" Ian laughed, as Draco jumped up and chased him through the house.
Hermione sat on the couch, with her fingers on her lips. 'Oh my god...what just happened?'
'You kissed the hottest guy ever to enter Hogwarts' (A/N: well...2nd hottest...Sirius was the hottest...lol) Her inner voice said tauntingly.
'I'm aware of that.' Hermionne bit back (Hermy is picking up some of draco's habits too)
'And you liked it too.' The voice continued.
'Will you PLEASE tell me something I DON'T know?' Hermione growled.
'Touuuccchhhyyy.'
Sighing Hermione decided to head out to the barn. Maybe Korimi could help.
-----...----
Draco had decided to give up on chasing Ian. Seeing at little twerp was hovering 8 feet in the air in the foyer, on his broomstick.
Sighing, he walked back into the living room, and saw that Hermione was gone. 'I wonder where Hermione went?' He thought to himself.
'Maybe the question you should be asking is why did you kiss her?' oh joy. The annoying voice is back.
'I did it to shut her up.'
'You know. In a relationship honesty is the key. And it has to start with YOU being honest wit yourself.'
Draco growled. What relationship? Him and Hermioen were friends. That'll. He didn't like her did he?
'DUH! You like her!' The voice said in an Exasperated tone. 'What was your first clue Sherlock?!'
Letting out a frusterated sigh he decided to head out to the barn, to clear his head.
