CHAPTER TWO!
"I wonder what they are doing..."
She walks around the house.
"And I wonder who is sleeping in my bed..."
She walked upstairs to find that her bedroom door was shut and there was a post-it note stuck to it, it was a note from the person sleeping in her bed for she didn't recognize the handwriting.
The post-it note states:
Mr. and Mrs. Granger,
I wanted to thank you for being so kind to me after the unfortunate event which includes my parents. I just hope your daughter can accept what is going on.
And that was it. No name or any clue to what was going on. So she decided that a little peak at who was in her room wouldn't hurt. She opened the door to discover that there was no one in the room at all, the only different thing was that there was a suitcase in the corner of the room and the sheets on her bed were all crumply.
"God, that sucks I wanted to know who it was that was staying in my room!"
"Are you looking for me?" a mysteriously familiar voice says from behind her.
She slowly turns around to see none other than her worst enemy, Draco Malfoy.
"what the heck are you doing here... at MY house!" she screams
"I'm your guest, I thought you would have known by now, didn't your parent tell you?"
"NO!" she screams once again.
"Alright, alright, calm the heck down!" he says as an attempt to calm her down, and of course that didn't work.
"What are you doing in MY house and sleeping in MY room?"
"I'm not supposed to tell you, your parents are."
"Oh... well when are they coming back?"
"In about an hour or two, so do you want to show me around town or something because we need to talk?"
"Yea fine whatever, but I'm sleeping in my room, you can sleep in the guest room. It's down the hall and to the right."
as Draco moves his stuff from Hermione's room and into the guest room Hermione is thinking 'what could be so important that he wants to spend time with me!' while she is waiting for Draco she sits on her bed and looks around and gets the wonderful feeling of home.
"Ok, I'm ready, are you coming?" Draco says from the hall outside of Hermione's room.
"Yea ill be there in a little bit, just wait for me in the living room downstairs."
"Ok, I can do that" he pauses, "you have had quite the life living here..."
"What?"
"I read your diary..."
"WHAT?" she screams getting furious again.
"no no no , it wasn't intentional, it was sitting on top of your desk and I need some paper to write a thank you note to your parent for letting me stay here, you don't know how much I would pay to have a life like yours." he says with a slight sigh
"What do you mean a life like mine?" she says not quite understanding.
"Well if you would hurry up and get ready ill tell you when you show me around town."
"Alright, just wait for one minute I have to freshen up."
Draco walks down the stairs and sits on the living room floor.
While Hermione is in the bathroom re-doing her makeup, just incase she sees any one she knows. And she quickly brushed her hair and teeth and then walked down stairs.
"Why are you sitting on the floor, the furniture is perfectly fine to sit on."
"know, I just like the feeling of your carpet when you sit on it, it's so soft...you look very nice." he replies.
"Wow, you have changed a lot since I have last really talked to you." she says as she begins to blush, no one besides Harry has really treated her like this before.
"I have, I just can't show that to anyone of my slyitherin friends, otherwise they the whole house would fall apart because their king has become soft."
"ok, we really need to take that walk now, before I get any more weirded out." she jokes
As they walk to the town, which is about three miles away, they start a nice conversation, like they have been friends for a lone time.
"As you may have guessed, I have changed in many ways, as you see." he starts.
"Ok so why exactly are you here?" she questions
"Remember I can't tell you that, your parents have to."
"Oh yes, I forgot."
They walk in silence for about three minuets
"It's a nice day isn't it?" Draco coos.
"Yes, it's just the beginning of spring."
"I would know nothing of spring, I'm cooped up in the house all day working for my father." he groans
"Oh you poor thing, so you don't know any of the things that happen during spring?"
"Nope" was his short answer
"So you have never heard the saying, 'April showers bring may flowers'?
"No"
"What about love is in the air?"
"No, but that sounds nice, id like to be loved some day," he sighs.
"Well you parents love you, don't they?" she asks
"I would rather not speak about my parents, if you don't mind, well talk about them later."
"Oh, ok...no problem"
They have walked about two miles by the time someone says something again.
"When you said I looked nice before we left, what did you mean by that?" Hermione asks in confusion
"I ment that you looked nice, that's all." Draco answered
"No, I mean the only other people who say that to me are my parents and Harry, and occasionally Ron, when Harry makes him."
"I tell you I have changed, you don't hear me calling you mud blood or Harry scar face anymore do you?"
"No, but... bu-"she says as she try's to come up with something to say.
"yea, I gottcha on that one!" they laugh
"So when you say that you would like to be loved someday, are you saying that you have never been in love before?" she asks curiously
"That's right, why have you?"
"well... no, but I thought that you would have, oh wait, I'm getting so used to you being nice I forgot that you used to be a real jerk to everyone."
"Yep, that's why, it's because I let my feelings hide." Draco confesses
They arrive at the town and walk into the cafe first
"I'm really thirsty." Hermione says
"Me to" he replies, "lets get a something to drink."
"But I have no muggle money with me, I didn't think I would need any." she says sadly.
"It's not a problem, I have enough to get you something." he says with a smile
"Why thank you!"
The waiter come and they both order cappuccino, Hermione French vanilla flavored and Draco got hazelnut.
"Wow, you drink cappuccino?" she says with shock apparent in her voice.
"Yea, it keeps me awake, and it smells about as good as it tastes." he admits
Hermione giggles and Draco pays for the drinks and they walk into the town.
"Hey I have a question for you," she says," where were you when I rang the doorbell this mourning?"
"I wasn't there."
"Well then where were you?"
"I was out on my daily walk...trying not to get lost in this muggle town" he smirks sheepishly
"Ah, ok, and you just decided to sneak up behind?"
He nods. They walk around the town, and she shows him where all the local shops are and the parks, she also takes him to the mall.
"I know your not going to be here much but, I figured as long as I'm in town." she said to him
Then a group of teenage girls walk past, while every single one of them have their eyes glued to Draco.
"I think they like you." Hermione giggles, "You should go talk to them and see what they do! It would be fun to watch!"
"ok, ill do it, for a price." he says and after Hermione nods in approval he continues, "ill only do it if you explain all of this to Harry, about how I'm not evil anymore, that the only time I'm like that would be when my so-called-friends are hanging on my every last word."
"Ok, can do."
Draco walks over to the group of girls.
Hermione hears one of the girls sigh, as thought she is in love. As he is chatting away, he doesn't think Hermione is listening, because she is sitting on the bench and staring at a pair of shoes in a store. But really she is listening, and she was totally shocked when she heard one of the girls ask if she (Hermione) was his girlfriend, and he answered with a big, fat, yes. She was so shocked that a man came up to her and asked her if she was ok, because it looked like she had seen a ghost because her eyes were so wide open from the shock. When he came back she acted as thought she had never heard what he said.
"So you want to go back to your house now? Or do you want to stay here longer? I saw you staring at those shoes in the store, I can buy them for you." he says generously.
"no its ok really, I would just like to go back home, my feet are starting to hurt." he says
"Already? Sore feet? Wow, your weak!" Draco jokes.
