A/N: yeah, thanks for the reviews everyone! I totally gives me initiative to write more...currently my muse is the Kill Bill soundtrack...it's surprisingly good...ok, on with the story.
As the long hot days of summer wore on, the temperature slowly but surly rose till the point where children ran through sprinklers well after dark, while their parents took cool showers at all hours of the day, with the occasional parent joining their children in the fun and games. The streets turned into giant skillets that were torture on bare feet, while even the trees seemed to pant in the scorching heat. And while this massive heat wave settled on the city like a giant blanket, Hermione had only one thing to say..Thank god for air conditioning.
Due to the fact that they were not allowed to make any indication that the house was occupied, Hermione and Draco were indeed thankfull for the fact that the air conditioning in the house worked amazingly well....at first.
"MALFOY!!!!!!!!!!" Hermione's scream echoed through the house as she looked through the empty fridge. "WHAT THE HELL HAPPENED TO ALL THE LUNCH MEAT THAT WAS IN HERE!!!?" Malfoy came down the stairs and into the kitchen to be met with the site of Hermione's very cute rump stuck in the air while she rummaged through the refrigerator full nothing but an onion, shrivled thing that he suspected was once a squash, and a bottle of ketchup. He took his time admiring the site figuring that even if she was a filthy mudblood, doesnt mean she's not a good look.
"Yes I ate the meat, it's not like theres anything else for me to eat. Since you're stupid brain decided that you were going to attempt to cook, and ended up turning all the edible food into crispies." He absent mindedly began rummaging through the cupboards looking for something edible. To find nothing but an unlabled can. Hermione straitened, giving up on the frige. "You prat, that was the only food left! So far you've eaten all of the cereal, and the contents of the frige! Is your stomach a bottomless pit or something!!!!I need to eat too you know!" She planted her fists on her hips and glared at him. Malfoy stopped his rummaging to look at her in her light blue tank top an black sweat pants, his gase lingered on the swell of her breasts, before moving down to her flat belly and her perfectly curved hips. "Wow, you could have fooled me." Hermione turned red, before she picked up the nearest thing to her and threw it at him...Draco's smirk was quickly wiped off his face as the unlabled can he had been examining early struck him squarely in the forhead. He burst into a multitude of curses as he clutched his now profusely bleeding forhead. Looking up to see Hermione looking from him to her hands, to the can, then back again as if not believing she actually hit him. "OW! WHAT THE BLOODY HELL WAS THAT FOR!!!!?" Malfoy was pressing his hand to his forhead to attempt to stop the bleeding. Hermione, still looking at her hands in shock jumped at his yell, before grabbing a towel and rushing to him, brushing his hands aside as she pressed the towel to the cut on his forhead. "Will you quit your whining, you bloody well deserved it." She returned his glare, only to begin giggling as the realazation of what she had done. "If it makes you feel any better, I didnt think it'd actaully hit you." by this time the giggles had turned into full out laughter. Draco looked at her in amazement, his anger almost fading...almost. "Didnt think it would hit me!!!why'd you bloody throw it if you didnt even mean to hit me in the first place!! I didnt even do anything to make you throw that bloody thing at me!!!!" the indignant look on Malfoy's face came close to sombering up Hermione, but not quite, giggles were still escaping her as she answered his question while leading him upstairs to the bathroom. "You very well did deserve it! You should be smart enough to know not to comment on a womans weight!! You would have gotten the same treatment if not worse from any female in the world!" She led Draco into the bathroom and sat him on the toilette seat, while she reached under the sink and pulled out another rag and got it wet. She squeezed all the excess water out of the rag before going over to Draco and kneeling between his legs, while she gently pulled the blood soaked rag away from the wound. She replaced it with the wet one, gently dabbing off the sticky blood, so she could get an accurate assessment of the damage. "It doesnt look that bad, I don't think you'll need stiches. It's not like theres anything in that thick scull of yours to hurt anyways." the last she said in teasing tone of voice while smiling up at him. Draco returned her smile with a glare. "I still don't think you should've thrown it at me." Hermione giggled at him pouting. "It's not like what I said was serious. I mean dear god, any one who'd call you unattractive would be a complete fool." Draco pursed his lips together and scowled at the shower curtain. While Hermione's eyebrows dissapeared into her bushy hair. "Oh really! Malfoy, are you saying you find me attractive!?" Now it was her time to smirk as faint color infused his cheeks. "I said you werent un-attractive..even for a filthy mudblood." Hermione gave an exaserbrated sigh ans she threw the wet wash cloth into his face. "Well, in that case, you can very well clean up yourself!" and with that she went down the stairs to try to figure out a the food or lack there of situation.
As Hermione was walking down the stairs, she was stopped by a huge 'CLUNK!' Her eyes shut as she crossed her fingers, praying that it wasnt what she was thinking it was. She ran down the stairs to the air conditioner. Only to find smoke billowing out of it and what looked like flames shooting out of it. She gave a scream as she ran for the fire extiguisher in the kitchen. Draco came down the stairs just as she was covering the Air conditioner in a blaket of CO2(?I failed chem, so sorry if I'm wrong). "WHAT THE BLOODY HELL DID YOU DO NOW!" Draco, knowing that the now destroyed airconditioner was their only suvival method in this heat, knew that if it was gone, then life as they knew it would suck even worse than it did...And it sucked pretty bad.
