Chapter 2 – Tea with the Malfoys

Narcissa stepped out of the black sedan, beckoning Mrs.Granger and the two teens to follow. From the back of house, a house elf appeared. "Good afternoon Madam Malfoy" the house elf said, bowing. "Why hello Eeksor" Narcissa said kindly. Mrs.Granger's eyes widened. "What is that?" She asked nervously. Narcissa and Hermione laughed and Draco snickered. "That was a house elf. They're harmless, mom" Hermione said

Narcissa Malfoy stepped in front of the 10 foot mahogany doors. Almost instantly, a magical scroll appeared. Narcissa took her index finger and placed it on the scroll. A green hue appeared around her finger, then seconds later the mahogany doors swung open. Mrs.Granger looked beside herself with all the new "technology" she had seen. Hermione looked mildly impressed. As soon as the door was opened, three house elves appeared, bowing deeply in the presence of the Malfoys. "Hello Mrs.Malfoy and Mister Draco" one of the house elves said. "I see you brought guests. Welcome, Mrs.Granger and Miss Hermione" the elf continued. Narcissa smiled at the elves, while Draco scowled. "How do you know my name?" Hermione asked, obviously impressed. "House elves have certain powers, miss" a younger house elf piped up.

They walked through the corridors, passing various rooms, all being large, dark, rich-looking and spacious. Hermione secretly admired how big this manor was, but there was no was she was going to express her admiration, especially with Draco around. As soon as they drew near to a large, marble staircase, Draco made a beeline for the stairs. Well, almost. "Draco! Where are your manners? Come with us." Draco glared angrily at his mother for a split-second, then resignedly walked with them. They finially reached the kitchen, which was at the end of the hall.

The kitchen was very large, with stainless steel appliances and sinks, and marble floors and counters. "Mrs. Malfoy, you have muggle appliances? Surely Lucius didn't allow anything muggle in this house?" Hermione asked curiously. Narcissa laughed softly. "You're right, Hermione. He didn't. However, he's been absent from this house for awhile now, and will be gone for a very long time, so I had them purchased soon after he left. I'm rather fond of muggle inventions. You know, I used to live in the muggle world. Right up until I was 11, then I went off to Hogwarts and my family moved back into the magical world." She said, with a far away look in her eyes.

Draco was very upset with his mother. She reveled some much to those mudbloods. Our family's name will be ruined if that ever gets repeated again to the wrong person. How dare she! Acting like Father's work means nothing. Like Mudbloods aren't below us. Suddenly, a voice snapped him out of his raging mental anger. "Draco, darling, would you like to go with Hermione to the one of the libraries? I'm sure you and her have a lot of talking and sorting out to do. And homework! And on your way, do show her a tour of the house." Narcissa said. Hermione had heard it. "One of the libraries!" They have more than one! This could maybe be more fun than I though. Wait. Malfoy's suppose to come with me. Oh NO! Every single time I'm just about to enjoy myself, he comes into the picture. Talking? What talking? She must have mistaken our bitter yelling as "talking" Draco glared at Hermione before he turned his heel and started walking. Hermione walked briskly to catch up to him. She didn't want to get lost in this house.

As they walked in silence, they could hear the voices of Anna-Marie and Narcissa chatting and laughing start to fade as they got further and further away from the kitchen. Walking down the corridor, Hermione realized how cold it was in this house. She glanced up at Draco, who looked absolutely furious. I can't blame him. It looks as if they we're going to be seeing a lot of each other because of our mothers. I hate Malfoy. He is cold, sinister, evil, obnoxious, and egotistic. I hate Malfoy. With every fiber of my being.

Draco walked briskly, full of anger. At everyone. Granger, his mother, her mother, his father. I hate them! I hate everyone! Emotions are for those who are weak. That Granger! What the hell does she think she is, walking in on my life. I hate her. She's too smart, a bookworm, a know-it-all, and too polite. Mind you, she isn't all that bad looking. Bloody hell, what's wrong with me?! Considering a mudblood hot?! I must have lost my mind. Malfoys only date pure blooded witches. Mudbloods can never be hot. I hate her. With every fiber of my being.

Or so they thought.

Author's Note: Ouch. A slight cliffhanger. Never fear, I will update soon. Probably tonight or tommorow. Thanks so much for the reviews! I didn't think i'd get any P Now, I know the beginning of the chapter might have been a little out of character, especially for Narcissa to befriend muggles. But JK Rowling never really wrote anything about how she'd be like, so i'm making her be quite nice, but still slightly Malfoy-ish. Don't worry, I wont butcher the characters ;)
