'Whats going on with Draco and I ?'
Since they didn't have classes today, they didn't have to wear their school robes. Hermione put on a pair of jeans and a sweater from her cousin Ashley. She sent her all kinds of clothes that Hermione would never wear. She felt bad that she never wore any, so today was a good day to wear some. After she got dressed, she put her curly hair up into a messy bun on top of her head and stuck her wand in the back pocket of her jeans. She made her way down the stairs to the great hall for the last breakfast before break.
"Hey Hermione, cute outfit!" Lavender and Parvati had been eyeing her since she entered the great hall.
"Thanks." Hermione replied with a faint blush on her cheeks. No one ever complimented her on her clothes. But then again, she was always wearing her school robes.
"My cousin sent them to me in the beginning of the year."
"Cool!!"
The rest of breakfast, Hermione sat at the table and listened to Lavender and Parvati gossiping about some very "intimate" couple in Hogwarts. They were always gossiping. They are better known as "the source". if you ever need to know something, just ask Lavender and Parvati. Those two knew everything and anything.
"Hermione, Dear, welcome home! We've missed you a lot!"
"Hullo mum, dad. I've missed you too!"
She ran over to her parents and gave them a big hug.
"How was your trip?"
"Good. I had a prefects meeting for a little while and I spent the rest of the ride reading."
"How are your friends? Are you still dating Harry?" Hermione's mum asked, nudging her in the arm.
"Well, no."
"Oh really? Why not?"
"Well, you see, in the beginning of the year, I got very sick and I was in the infirmary for a couple of days. And while I was in there, Harry asked out Ginny." Hermione's mum made a face, meaning, GINNY WEASLEY? "Yes, Ginny Weasley. And he didn't think that I would find out, but I did. So we aren't friends anymore. And Ginny and I aren't really talking much, same with Ron too. So that means I wont be spending time with them this break."
"Oh. We are so sorry hunny. So, are you excited to go to America?"
"Its alright. I am so excited! I haven't seen Ashley, Aunt Lynn and Uncle Kyle in such a long time! I really miss them."
"Well, why don't you go and get some rest. You look like you need it. And I will come and get you when its time for supper."
Hermione was leaving for America on Monday. Though today was only Saturday, she thought it would be a good idea to start packing. She would rather have everything done early then do it last minute.
"Alright."
She walked up the large set of stairs to her room. Her house was fairly large, due to the fact that both her parents are well known dentists in the Muggle world. Hermione's room was very sophisticated. It seemed like it could be a room in Hogwarts. It consisted of a large, queen size bed, 2 dressers, a vanity set, and two bed side tables. The bed had a very comfortable light blue quilt with tons of pillows. Everything was made of a rich, dark brown wood. Her walls were white with a light blue trimming around the whole room. The curtains were sheer light blue which gave a very sensitive look to the room. As you can tell, Hermione's favorite color was blue.
Hermione put down her heavy bag and walked over to he bedside table. There, sat a picture of her and Harry in Hogsmeade. He was smiling at her and those eyes. Piercing emerald green eyes. She could remember that day so well. It was right before school started. Hermione and Harry went to Hogsmeade for a "date". They went to tons of stores. Then Harry took her a quaint little café. It looked a little "crappy" on the outside and not many people were in it. But when they went inside, it was very romantic. Harry had told her that he loved her. Hermione didn't know what to say. She liked him a lot, but did she LOVE him? Of course she did, he was her best friend! But she didn't love him the way he loved her. And in that café, Hermione and Harry shared their first kiss. One of many they shared. Out of anger and hurt, Hermione threw the picture and the frame broke and the glass shattered. She pulled out her wand from the back pocket of her jeans and muttered the fixing charm. The frame and glass looked like nothing had ever happened to it. Dumbledore thought it would be alright if the students were allowed to use magic and their wands outside of school. She then took the picture and stuck it in the bottom draw of her dresser. She didn't want to think about the stupid git that took her heart and ripped it out of her chest. tore it up, stomped on it and dropped it in mud and then gave it back to her. She hated Harry so much. As much as Draco hated him. She didn't deserve to be treated like that. No one does. Not even Draco deserved it. Though he can be a stupid git at times, he still didn't deserve it. No one did!
"Err. Stupid Harry Potter! And Ginny, how could she?! She was supposed to be my best friend!!! Does everyone hate me? Am I not pretty enough? Am I not cool enough? Err! I need to stop thinking about them. All of them! I don't need them!" Hermione slammed the draw shut and got on her bed and closed her eyes. Her thoughts shifted from Potter and Ginny, to Draco Malfoy. The boy that for so many nights, occupied her every dream and thought. He was her closest friend at the moment. If anyone knew that they were on a first name basis and that they were actually being civil with each other, man, would they be shunned by all. Maybe even loose all the friends they had. And what if they found out about the kiss? They actually kissed?! Pureblood Draco Malfoy, kissed Mudblood Hermione Granger. With these thoughts, Hermione fell fast asleep.
"Honey, you know we need to tell her. But when? I think its best for her to know the truth now, rather then later."
Hermione's mother shot a worried look to her husband.
"You're right. How about we tell her when she comes home from America. She will have some time to think about it before school too."
"Alright dear."
"Draco! Oh how I've missed you so much!"
"Hullo mum! I've missed you too! How are you?"
"I'm good dear. How was the ride?"
"Boring. I slept most of the time."
"Are you hungry?"
"Starving."
Narcissa called for the house elf to get Draco some food.
"Mildred!"
"Yes, Mrs. Malfoy? What can Mildred get for you?"
"Please get Draco some food. He is starving!"
"Mildred will be right back with food for Master Malfoy."
"Thank you."
And with snap, Mildred was gone. Leaving Draco and his mother alone in the parlor. She walked over to Draco and wrapped her arms around his built body.
"Oh Draco, its been so lonely here. I've missed you being here!"
"Why don't you go to France again with Mrs. TumSuden? I know how much you love going there and shopping! It will be good for you to get out of this stuffy manor and be with your friends."
"Well, that's a great idea Draco! You are so smart, you know that?"
"Of course mum!"
She playfully smacked him in the arm.
"You are supposed to thank me, not agree! Silly goose!"
Narcissa was such a kind, loving mother. Draco loved her very much! They were so close but Lucius never let her show any emotions and love to him. So whenever he was away or not home, he and his mother would "hang out" and do things that Lucius would not permit in the manor. Such as Draco giving his mum a hug, or even crying!
The rest of the day, Draco and his mother talked about school and everything that had been going on.
"Oh, Hermione! We are going to miss you so much! Have fun, ok? And please, be careful and listen to what ever Aunt Lynn and Uncle Kyle say, ok?"
"Yes!! I'll miss you both!"
Hermione handed her bags to the man that stocked them into the plane. Then her mum gave her an envelope.
"Here, Hermione. This should be enough money to last for your stay!"
She gave them both a hug and a kiss and got on the plane.
The whole plane ride, all Hermione could think about was how much fun she was going to have with her cousin! She also thought of how much she was going to miss Draco. Yes, she was going to miss Draco Malfoy! wow. things have really changed!
