CHAPTER THREE!

They took the bus to a bus stop that was close to Hermiones house so she didnt have to walk as far. They ended up walking past a park and Hermione asked it they could sit in the park for a little while. Draco agreed and they went to go sit on the merry-go-round.

"Oh, my feet are so sore!" she whines.

She takes her shoes off and starts to massage her left one. As she does this Draco takes her right foot and starts to massage that one.

"what is this for?' Hermione asks.

"Just being nice, thats all, and plus if i do this we can get back to your house sooner." But in reality thats wasnt wht he really wanted to say. Draco had this odd feeling that he had never really felt before, so he assumed that he just might like Hermione, he didnt quite know how he knew this.

On the way home they had a nice long conversation about muggle fashion, about how they were about three or four years behind those who went to Hogwarts.

'Its amazing, he has changed alot, how am i going to explain this to Harry?' Hermione thinks to herself, ' Harry is never going to belive that Draco has changed into a nice carring- wait what am i saying? Are these feeling i have for Draco, the boy who has been the most horrible person to me ever scense our first year at hogwarts? its like hes a Gryifendor now, its odd.'

Once they get home Hermiones parents are sitting on the couch watching the news.

"Why hello!" she greets us," Where were you two?"

"We walked to town and went to the mall, did some talking..." Hermione says

"Well im glad you two are getting along so well so soon!" her dad exclams

"But what was it that you want to talk to me about?" Hermione asks impacently.

The hesataion in her parents vioces told her that the stuff they wanted to talk to her about was not the best.

"Well hunny, Draco here, his parents have gotten into a fight, and they were fighting over him, and well... um Draco would you mind if you told the story, im not quite sure how it all happened." her mother starts.

"Yea, i guess, well you see my parents were in the process of getting a divorce and they were disusing who would get the custudy of me, well i got involved and i said i would rather live with my mother the whole time. That just made my father even more outraged. he...he..h-" was all Draco could say before falling into a big ball of sorrow on the floor.

"His fater had put a curse on his mother and it solwy sufficated her, Lucius forced him to watch, and now Lucius is in azkaban. The dementors will perform the kiss a week from tomorrow." her mother said to finish the story for him.

Hermione rushed over to Draco to find him tears dripping from his eyes.

"Draco, im so sorry..." was all she could manage to say before the tears were streaming down her face about as bad as they were on his.

It was because of two things, one- she cant stand to see someone crying and not cry herself. and two- when they took that walk to town she had felt a specail connection with Draco, she knew it seemed so soon, but it was there and strong. Once they both calmed down Hermiones parents went outside and left Hermione and Draco to talk.

"How come you haven't acted sad all day, you were just fine." she asks

"It's a skill i learned, long ago i learned to never show emotion, but now that im not going to be seeing my father much more after this, i have let it all out, and it feels good." he said with his eyes still red and puffy.

"So how exactly does this tie in with me and my family?" Hermione asks

" Well you see, your family has been nice enought to let me live here untill i am of the right age and can live by myself, think of me like as a roomie during the summer." he said with a smile

His mood getting slightly better. But Hermione was shocked, that was the first time she had ever seen Draco smile, all the other time it had been a smirk, but never a smile.

"Oh really? You know you can sleep in my room tonight if it will make you feel any better!" she said cheerfuly

" No thats quite alright, your room is to girlie for me." after he said that he smiled once again

Hermione liked this, this new Draco. They stood up and Hermione looked at Draco once again and hugged him.

"What is this for?" he jokes

"Because i feel like it." Hermione responds

" You wanna go get someting to eat?" Draco asks

"Yea where do you wanna go? We can go eat at the mall, there is good food there." As soon as she remebered what had been said to those girls at the mall, it delighted her, put a smile on her face.

"Yea that sounds good, as long as those girls aren't there any more, they were kind of scaring me. They kept staring at me so i thought i had some thing stuck in my teeth or something!" he said

"Oh were not walking, now that my parents are home, we can take the car." Hermione says proudly

"You can drive a muggle car!" he asks

"yea my dad taught me when i was 13, but the muggle driving age is 16 so i couldnt drive for while, but now i can!" she brags

"Oh that is so unfair!" Draco jokes

they walk out on the porch where hermiones parents are sitting.

"Mom, Dad, were going to the mall to get something to eat, were starving."

"Ok hunny, you two have a good time" Hermiones mother says,"dont get yourselfs killed!"

They nodded and walked down to the street where the car was parked. Its a burnt orange mustange convertiable.

But before they get down to the street...

"Hey Hermione, i was wondering, seeing how your the only other person who knows what has happened, besides your parents, i was wondering if you could...um.. you know, come with me to my fathers kiss thing." draco asks slowly, " i mean to like make sure i dont lose it when i see my father again."

"Oh i would love to come, wait, when i said love, i didn't mean that i'd love to see your fathers soul get sucked out, but i'd love to be there for you, you know, just incase."

"Thanks" he repiled.

Then out of no where he flung his arms around hermione in just about one of the biggest hug she had ever recived.

once this happened...

"Oh dear, they look like they will get along just fine!" Hermione's mother said, "And we thought that they wouldn't even speak to each other!"

MEAN WHILE BACK AT HOGWARTS:

"Harry, what do you think could be so important that Dumbledore would let Hermione out of school for the weekend? He never does that , only if its an emergncy, or a family thing." Ron questions Harry hoping he would know.

"Sorry Ron, i dont know!" Harry says, " But the weird thing is that Dumbeldor let Draco go somewhere this weekend to! I sure hope he has nothig to do for hermione!"

"Yea, thats true, but what are the chances that thats going to happen!" Ron says jokingly
