"Mother! Harry couldn't have…" the voice close to Draco started.
"Oh Bill he's not Harry," Mrs. Weasley stepped over to Hermione and pushed Draco away.
"What are you talking about?" Bill asked his mother.
"He's Malfoy and has absolutely no reason to be anywhere near Hermione," Mrs. Weasley preformed a reviving spell and Hermione opened her eyes and groaned softly, "Hermione, dear, what happened? Did he do anything? I knew I shouldn't have been so upset with you. Just tell me what he did and I'll deal with him. Hermione tell me what he did," Hermione looked up at her and then back at Draco.
"Mrs. Weasley… He didn't do anything… I was talking to him and I-I fell asleep," Hermione rubbed her head, "I'm tired that's all. I think I'll go to bed," she got up and with only one glance around the room she walked out. Draco had the urge to follow her but not with Mrs. Weasley blocking his way.
Mrs. Weasley glared at Draco and demanded, "What did you do? If I find out that you touched her in any way…" she glared even harder at him.
"Mom?" Bill started, "What do you mean this is Malfoy? Poly juice?" Bill looked suspiciously at Draco. He and Mrs. Weasley explained the situation to him.
"Wow… I've heard something like that… It was a muggle story where a mother and daughter switch bodies until they're ready to do anything to better the other's life. It sounds like they're stuck for a while mom. Maybe you shouldn't judge him too harshly…" it was Bill's turn for Mrs. Weasley's glare, "I know it seems a little difficult seeing how he's…well a Malfoy, but maybe if you gave him a chance…"
"Give him a chance! Are you insane!" she hissed, "He'd probably tell his father anything we tell him. Most especially where we are!"
"I already know," Draco dared to speak. Mrs. Weasley stormed at him but he stopped her, "Hermione told me. Please… I won't tell. Go ahead and put a spell on me if you want," Draco looked completely sincere. Mrs. Weasley gave in.
"Alright… When Dumbledore returns tomorrow we'll put the spell on. Right now I think everyone should go to bed it's almost 9 o'clock and we need to go to Diagon Alley tomorrow," She sighed, "I think Ronald needs new robes, he's growing like a weed!" Bill smiled.
"Yeah well that seems to happen to all of us. I mean look at Ginny! She's almost at Ron's shoulders! That's as tall as Hermione," Bill stood up, "Come on Mom," he helped her up, "Let's go make some tea," Bill glanced at Draco and nodded slightly to him. Draco got the hint and waited till they were down the stairs deep in conversation.
He slipped out of the room and went up the stairs.
