A/N: Yay! reviews...yum.....Brad Pitt....ummm....Draco Malfoy...drools
Hermione Granger yawned as she looked upside down at the plastic looking news caster, She lazily kicked her bare feet against her wall, and reached to scratch her head which was hanging over the matress, her frizzy brown hair touching the red shag carpet. Hermione Granger had spent the first part of her summer furiously studying, and doing summer homework and extra credit, then she read through all her new books, AND her old books, and even tried some spells she had gotten from some books she had gotten in Diagon Alley, and after doing all that, she was left with....nothing, her only friend right now was boredom, and she was going slowly insane. She had tried owling Ron, but he had been on a family trip to somewhere or other, then she had tried calling Harry, only to find that Harry had been locked in his room for the summer, or at least that's what she had translated Harry's aunts screeching to be. So now she was left with nothing but her old friend the TV. and currently the only semi-educational thing on was the 9:00pm news....yay, fun.(sarcasm if you couldn't figure it out) So for the last 20 min she had been laying on her bed, in several different positions, and watching a man with a toupee, and a woman who looked like a wannabe barbie doll talk about traffic, sports, traffic, and more sports...she shut her eyes and groaned, listening to the woman's voice drone on, suddenly something caught Hermione's attention, "In other news, an unidentified young man was found in front of a local shop in Down town London, the boy was reportedly unconscious, and had suffered a minor stab wound, and blood loss," Hermione's eyes popped open to see footage of a remarkably familiar blond haired boy being carried off in a stretcher into an ambulance, she rolled off the bed to press her nose against the TV as she listened to the reporter say more, " The young man is unidentified, and Police suspect he was being persued, if you have any information about this mystery boy, please contact the London police department, now, onto the Weather with Tom O'Brian." Hermione sat back in shock, her eyes wide and staring. Why would Draco Malfoy be found in the Muggle world, Unconscious and stabbed? Even more important, who was chasing him. Hermione nearly jumped out of her skin as a loud "CRACK" resounded in her room, and there before her stood Professor Snape glaring icily at her. Hermione rubbed her eyes in confusion, trying to make sure that she was seeing right. she was snapped to the present by the sharp voice of Snape. "Ms.Granger, I presume you found out about Malfoy," he paused for Hermione's confirmation, which she gave in the form of a confused nod. "well, I've been sent here by Dumbledore to inform you that you will now be in charge of Mr.Malfoy's safety for the rest of the summer." At this Hermione quickly came to her senses, "What do you mean I'll be in charge of his safety!?" Hermione glared at Snape as he rolled his eyes, and explained, "Mr.Malfoy is currently being hunted by death eaters, against my advice, Dumbledore has decided that the safest place for him to be is in the muggle house of one of his worst enemies. You will have extra protection charms placed on your house, and the rule against your using magic outside school will be...reconsidered. Mr. Malfoy will arrive tonight at 2am exactly, I would advise you to be up and waiting. It is of the greatest importance that you keep him a complete secret to the wizarding world, and even the Muggle world. You are not to go to London on any condition. At the end of the summer, you and Mr. Malfoy will be escorted to Hogworts, you will not be taking the train. Now I must be going, your parents have been informed that they have 'won' a trip to the U.S, and will be gone for the summer, this is for their and your own safety, if the death eaters believe that you are away with your parents, then you will not be a suspect. Now, I must be going, arrangements must be made for Mr. Malfoy's release and transport." and with another loud "CRACK" he was gone, leaving Hermione feeling confused, shocked, and incredibly annoyed, why the hell did SHE have to deal with Malfoy for an entire summer....
