CHAPTER II: MEET MY DUDE

"Oh! There he is!" Analisse exclaimed.

"Where?" Hermione said, scanning through the crowd.

"That!! That silver-haired guy! Come on!" Analisse shouted and grabbed Hermione's hand and ran through the crowd.

"Wait! Don't run that fast!" Hermione said, trying to balance herself.

"Hi, Honey! By the way, this is Hermione…she's my.." Analisse was interrupted by Draco.

"YOU!!!?!?!?" Draco Malfoy and Hermione said at the same time.

"What are you doing here?" Draco asked.

"WHAT are you doing here?!" Hermione asked.

"Whooaa! Wait…You two grossed me out. By the way, Herm, this is Draco, Draco I want you to meet Hermione." She said and looked at the both of them.

"Unfortunately, I know your cousin, Analisse. I loathed her for six years" Draco said, smirking.

"So do I" Hermione said.

"Did you know each other?! Where?" Analisse said.

"It's a long story…"Draco said.

"Come on Analisse. I want to take a nap…"Hermione said.

"And where exactly are you going to stay?" Draco asked.

"She can stay at our place." Analisse said.

"Are you sure? I smell trouble coming," Draco said.

"If you don't like, then I'm going to look for a place where I can relax without scumbags!" she said and looked at Draco.

"Oh Herm, I don't want to ruin your vacation here. Please do stay with us, right Drake?" she looked at him with a you-know-how-to-react look.

"Ahh…Well…I have no choice. Come on…" he said.

They reached Draco's house in an hour and then they heard Analisse shout.

"Oh my! I'm late for my pictorial!!! I gotta go! I'm so like getting irritated from not having any issues on the magazine. Drake, could you please take care of my cousin while I'm gone? Please?" she pleaded.

"Why? Where are you going?" he asked.

"I'm going for my photo shoot, duh?!?" she said.

"Don't worry. I can handle this little girl here. Bye, sweetie," he kissed her on the cheek and then she left.

The moment Analisse had stepped out of the door, Hermione asked Draco.

"Where the hell did you meet my cousin and what are your plans for her?" she asked.

"I don't have any dirty plans on my mind, mudblood." He said.

"What makes you think I will believe your funny excuses? Remember? I'm MS.-Know-It-All?" she sarcastically said.

"I'm not forgetting that, Granger. If I don't like your cousin, why would I let her in to my house?" he said.

"You'd better be sure…"she said and went straight into her room to take a nap.

After three hours, Draco received a phone call from Analisse telling him that she will be back in a week or two because of her photo shoot in different places near Paris. Then, Draco called for Hermione because dinner is ready, but she didn't answer. He went into her room and found out that Hermione has a high fever…
