Chapter Four – Getting lost

At around 4pm, Hermione and Draco decided to look around the Manor again. "You never finished showing me that tour, Malfoy" Hermione said pointedly. He got up from the couch and started walking past Hermione. She followed him out through the library doors. She never thought she'd ever been following a Malfoy, but then again she never thought she'd be in one's house either.

"We're on the 3rd floor." Draco announced, looking up and down the hallway. Pointing to the nearest glass door, he added "This is Father's study. Mother goes in there as little as possible. Apparently it "brings back bad memories". Its really quite a nice study". Hermione peered through the glass door. The walls were an emerald green color, with a large cherry wood desk in the middle of the room, with two leather clientel seats in front of it, facing the desk. Book-filled bookselves lined the walls, most likely of dark arts, Hermione thought.

Next, they stopped at a tall Magohany door. "This the master bedroom" he said lazily, opening the door. The room was huge. The walls were a nice pastel green. In the center of the back wall stood a king-sized sleigh bed, with fluffy, crisp white beddings. "Gorgeous" Hermione breathed.

Across the hall from the master bedroom, was a matching door. Following Hermione's gaze, he added "Thats the guest bedroom".

The third-to-last door in this corridor was, like the master bedroom, a tall magohany door. On it, hung a small silver sign saying "Dragon". Hermione smiled slightly. She knew it was Draco's bedroom. "This" Draco said, with a smug expression, "Is my bedroom". He opened the door wide, reveling a very large, spacious room. Hermione tried her best not to show how awed she was at the room. "Care to come in and get a personal tour of my room?" He drawled, smirking suggestively at her. Ignoring him, she stepped inside his room. The floor was a mysterious blue colored marble, and the walls were medium blue. The celing had to be at least 10 ft high. In the north-east corner of this room stood a 10ft high bookself. Beside that, a cherry wood desk. In the center of the south wall, stood his queen-sized bed. The beddings were a very dark blue satin. "Very enchanting" Hermione said, finially being able to speak. He walked over to his bed, and layed down on it. He motioned Hermione to do the same. Hermione raised her eyebrow. "I think not." She said flatly. Draco rolled his eyes. "Honestly, Granger. I'm not about to sleep with a mud-uh, muggle born, anytime soon. Just come here." He said, trying to surpress a smile as she obeyed him. She layed down next to him, but as far away as possible. He looked up to the celing. She did the same. "Oooh!" She exclaimed, unaware that she was oohing and ahhing at something that belonged to a Malfoy. Where the celling should have been, was the sky. Light blue sky, with fluffy clouds. She looked outside his window, and noticed that it was still pouring. "Bewitched, I see. Very nice" She responded, hiding her amazement. It was indeed bewitched, just like the celling at Hogwarts was.

"These sheets are nice.." Hermione muttered to herself, feeling the dark silk covers underneth her. Draco had heard her, apparently. "They're even nicer when you sleep under them" He said, smirking suggestively again. Hermione rolled her eyes. He's so full of himself. Someone honestly needs to deflate his head. She thought to herself. "Well, lets get out of here before someone walks in and gets a bad idea" Draco said, sitting up. Hermione obeyed him, and got up from his bed, following him out to the corridor.

Across from his bedroom was yet another mahogany door, matching Draco's door. "Another guest bedroom" he said simply.

"This is mother's knitting room" he said, walking towards the last door. "Personally, I think sewing should be kept to house elves and mud—oh hello mother" Draco said, grimancing as he opened the door. "What was that, Draco?" Narcissa said warningly. Hermione's mother just smiled at him. Draco shut the door.

"I'm going to get some Vodka" He stated as he walked right past Hermione down a long corridor. Hermione ran after him. After all, she didn't want to get lost in a strange place. "Aren't you too young to drink?" She asked nervously. "Do you really think my Father followed any rules?" Draco sneered.

Hermione followed Draco in silence down to the kitchens. She watched Draco reach for the bottle of Vodka. "You know Draco, alcohol is bad for you.." She started, hoping Draco wouldn't drink. Why do I even care anyways? He's the same foul cold-hearted bastard. I should let him drown in Vodka. But somehow, I can't. Hermione thought bitterly. Draco raised an eyebrow. "Since when did you become concerned with my health, mudblood?" Draco spat. Hermione had obviously touched a soft spot. Mudblood. He called me a mudblood. And I thought he had changed. HA! Hermione glared at Draco, before turning her heel and marching out the kitchen.

She walked through the manor for a bit, hoping to see Narcissa or her mother, or maybe a house elf. She looked around at her surroundings. She didn't recognize ANYTHING. Hermione started to panic a bit, thinking of the worst case scenario. What if I get permanently lost? What if they never find me? Hermione started to run through the manor. She wanted to get back to the library to read, and forget about the world around her. Why don't I recognize anything? Maybe I should re-trace my steps back to the kitchen? But then Draco would think I was crawling back to him. Which I'm not. Where the hell am I?! Hermione was panicking. She ran down two flights of stairs, only to find herself in the dungeons. "Why the hell did I have to leave the kitchens?! WHY did Mom have to make friends with a Malfoy, of all people! I hate them—" Hermione was cut short when suddenly, all of a sudden, someone wrapped their hand around her mouth.

Author's Note: Don't we all love cliffhangers? Now, don't go around making pre-assumed assumptions. Of course, you may be right, or you may be wrong. But keep in mind that I'm trying my best to keep this a well-rounded fic.
