Chapter 4: Shopping with ….him
Malfoy wasn't in the room. I stood up, yawning. I was going to have to introduce my friends to Malfoy today. I was meeting them at a party that night, so I figured I had to instruct Malfoy on what to say and what not to say. ( Yeah, like I'm gonna leave him alone in MY house, not happening!) He was already downstairs, pressing buttons on the TV and the radio. His hair was sleeked and combed and his clothes where neat and clean. Me on the other hand, old flannel pajamas and my new hair was everywhere. he looked up.
" Wow Granger, this is the best I think I've ever seen you!" He said.
" Shut up loser, what are you doing on to the TV anyway?" I asked, walking over to him.
" Oh this is a muggle gadget, my father has a hypnotizing machine that looks like this, I was just seeing if it was the same." He said, dropping the remote. I gave him a look.
" Riigghht." I looked at my watch. Considering I was going to see my friends that I haven't seen in ages, I wanted to go shopping for some new clothes. Unfortunately, I had to take him!
" What classes are you failing anyways?" I asked him. I was grumpy, I really didn't want to go shopping in a muggle store with Malfoy.
" Just charms, transfiguration, ancient ruins, care of magical creature, defense against the darks art, and herbology.' He said. I laughed.
" hm, I wonder who favors you?" I asked.
" Uh probably Snape." He said. What a idiot.
" That was a rhetorical question loser. Make your own breakfast, I've got to go and get dressed." I said. I walked back into my room. I had picked up my favorite red shirt and blue jeans and dressed. Then I tried to comb my hair. My old hair would have been worse, but it was still a challenge. I gathered up my money and headed downstairs. Malfoy was sitting at the table, eating a bowl of cereal. He seemed to have made himself quite comfortable. He looked up.
" Hey, I'm going to the mall and I have to take you, come on." I said in a monotone. He gave me a look.
" You go shopping at muggle shops? What do they sell there?" He asked. I could have hit him over the head, don't know why, but it seemed opportuned.
" Uh...stuff, but just remember, no magic mention please!" I said. i knew he'd not listen or purposely forget, but hey, its worth a try. It was a sunny day outside as we walked out to my car. The sun was glistening and the birds where chirping, and I was moaning and groaning and sill a little shocked because I was stuck with dragging Malfoy around, For the whole friggen summer! He kept bickering about his father and what his father would do to Dumbledore when he finds out and blah blah blah and yadda yadda yadda till I wanted to wring his scrawny little neck! I did take advantage of the opportunity to get to know more about his dad, just in case I have a chance to tell anyone at the ministries.
" So Malfoy, be honest, you dad is totally a death eater isn't he." I said with a laugh. It was funny, Malfoy didn't even smile. He looked like I had reminded him of something really bad.
" Uh.. yes he is." He said in the most expressionless way that was so unlike him.
" So lets see, you'll be next in line after your seventeenth birthday, won't you." I said. He gave a laugh.
" Yes, I guess I will. My mum doesn't want it, but she has no say when my dad is angry!" He said. I was actually feeling sorry for him for like a spilt second until I realized it was Malfoy we where talking about! we reached the mall and got inside. Everything ( magic wise) was going smoothly. There was a little mishap with the escalader ( Malfoy couldn't get on it so I had to run down the wrong one) He brought out his wand, but I shoved him into a decorative plant just in time.
" God, are you that much of a moron!" I hissed as him. He put it away but couldn't resist the moment for another of his suave comment.
" But Granger, everyone loves Draco's magic stick!" He said.
" EWW! your making me sick! besides, its not like you can do anything with it anyways!" He was about ready to say something else, but a security guard was walking over. We quickly ran into the next store, New York and company. I decided to look around a bit. they had very nice clothes and I liked a lot of them. but of course, Malfoy had to voice his opinion.
" Hey Granger, this shirt would really bring out the pastiness of your complexion!" He half said half yelled across the store. I walked over to him and threw it in his face. The sweater was pretty ugly, though.
" Shut up, " I hissed, but I couldn't resist," I think your looking in the wrong aisle Malfoy, you should go check out the little girls section, its totally you!" We left that store quickly. I walked down to the next store, Charlotte Russe. Her clothes where dressy and pretty, so I got a few things to try on. Malfoy was nagging to see me in them, don't know why.
" Come on granger!" He said from out side the door.
" NO! Why in god's name do you want to see me!" I hissed.
" So I can make sure you don't buy anything that's hideous,' He put on a gay fashion designer voice," Cause that would be totally not cool!" Hey, what the heck, at least I'll get the worst opinion. I showed him the dress I was thinking about wearing that night. It was sparkly red and came to my knees. I opened the door and did a little twirl.
" What'd you think?" I asked him. He shook his head.
" Too blah." He said. He still had the gay voice. He was kind of sort of right. I tried on the next one. It was a pink floral pattern and too short for my taste, but I liked the color. I did the same little twirl as I walked out. he gave me a funny look.
" I don't feel like dressing up as a body guard to protect you, Granger." He said. Okay, so maybe I did agree with him a little. I went back into the changing room and tried on a black dress. It was just the right length and it fit perfectly, but of course, I had to have the opinion of the gay fashion designer. I walked out. I could tell he like it a little.
" Hideous on you, but I'd buy it." He said. I laughed and walked back into the dressing room. I could tell he liked it just a tiny bit. So I bought it, I couldn't believe it, we were talking remotely civil to each other, though we enjoyed are little arguments. I finally had told him that I had to talked him to a party. He seemed not to care that much, but I insisted he buy something.
Okay, its not like I enjoy having him around or anything, but nothing makes me not want to shop. I didn't want him to look like the preppy school boy he is, so I was thinking a band look. Trouble is, he doesn't know any muggle band that I know of, but I gave it a try. After quite a long pep talk about not commenting on peoples clothes, I took him into Hot Topic. He was only aloud to talk to me, I didn't feel like getting embarrassed. I showed him the wall of shirts and asked him if he knew any bands. He had looked through most of them, when a miracle happened,.
" Oh yeah, the Clash, My dad won't let me buy there albums, but I really like there music." He said. I had a wave of joy and of shock well over me. My absolute favorite band of all time was, the Clash. We had something in comment, ok mixed emotions mixed emotions.
" Cool, we'll buy it" I paid for it and we where off. I just hoped my friends wouldn't mention anything. We looked around a little more, but I was getting tired. We got home just in time to get ready. I was never that high-maintenance, but I was seeing my friends that I haven't seen in ages and Danny ( He was supposed to come), so I washed my hair and curled it and put a little make up on. Malfoy was downstairs, once again, playing with he TV. He looked up when I walked downstairs.
