Chapter 3 Draco And The Muggle World
"Mum, dad! What are you doing back so early?" Hermione shrieked when she saw her parents.
It was her father who answered. "Your mother went into labour right after you stormed out of the house, I went to call after you but you didn't hear me. So we drove to the hospital and she delivered a little girl." Mr. Granger's eyes lit up talking about his new born daughter. Hermione walked over to her mother
"Can I hold her?" she asked quietly.
"Sure, go ahead, honey." Her mother smiled. Hermione gently took her baby sister in her arms and she couldn't suppress a wide smile. She was a big sister, it didn't matter that she was adopted, she was still their daughter.
Draco just stood there, a little behind Hermione and her new sister, watching her smile and cuddle the new born. "I have a sister." Hermione whispered only loud enough for her mother to hear, who smiled. "What's her name?" Hermione asked.
"Julia, you know how much I love that play." (A/N: I'm referring to 'Romeo and Juliet' from Shakespeare, in Germany Juliet is called Julia.) Mrs. Granger answered.
Hermione smiled. "Hey Julia, I'm Hermione," she said to the baby "your big sister."
"So you're not mad at us for not telling you sooner that you were adopted?" Mrs. Granger asked, putting an arm around Hermione.
"No, I'm not mad, I'm still your daughter, even if not biologically." Hermione answered.
"And who are you?" Mr. Granger asked Draco, who had been standing in the background quietly not wanting to disturb and had momentarily been forgotten, clearing his throat.
"I'm Draco Malfoy, sir. A classmate of Hermione's." Draco answered politely, extending his hand and Mr. Granger shook it.
"A classmate, huh?" Mr. Granger chuckled, they'd seen the two of them kissing. Hermione blushed, she was embarrassed that her parents saw her kissing someone like she did. She doesn't feel comfortable with that kind of stuff.
"Draco, that's an unusual name, who picked it out?" Mrs. Granger asked, rocking the baby in her arms.
"My mother did. She loves the stars, especially the constellation of Draconia, the dragon. That's what I'm named after, even though my father didn't agree with it." Draco answered, a smile forming on his face.
"I've never heard of that constellation before." Mrs. Granger stated.
"Well, you wouldn't have. It's too far away and can only be made visible with magic. And can only be seen every ten years. I haven't seen it myself yet." He told her. "It can be seen this New Year's." he added and fell silent.
"So, are you two going to stay for dinner?" Mr. Granger questioned, breaking the silence.
"Uh, no. I'm gonna show Draco some of the things we do around here, without magic." Hermione declined, shaking her head. "Plus, I have to visit Harry and Ron, I haven't seen them in ages." She added with fake enthusiasm.
"Okay, honey. Well, I guess we won't see you until Christmas, then." Her mother answered.
Hermione and Draco soon left the house and walked to the nearest bus stop to get into town. Once they got off the bus they walked around aimlessly, holding hands and looking into shop windows and once in a while they went inside one of those shops but never bought anything.
Around five, they started to get hungry so Hermione dragged Draco to a MC Donald's. she wanted him to see how normal muggles lived and ate after all. Inside the restaurant Draco looked up at the menu and squinted at it, looking utterly confused.
"I don't know what any of these things are, Hermione." He whispered to her. Hermione smiled up at him. "That doesn't matter, I'll order for us. And you'll just have to eat whatever I get you.! She answered. "you can get us a booth and I'll come with our order in a second." She added and Draco nodded.
"All right." He said, giving her a soft kiss before turning around to secure them a booth. 'He even kisses me in public. Sure, no one knows us here, but still.' Hermione thought.
"Uh, miss?" the guy behind the counter asked.
"What?" Hermione asked, whipping around to see the clerk waiting to take her order.
"Oh, I'm sorry. I'd like two MC Chicken menus with cokes, please." She answered, blushing slightly. She quickly paid and left with the food. It was easy to find Draco, he had chosen a spot not far away and was looking at her the whole time with a slight smile on his face. Hermione walked over to him and put the tray on the table in front of him. Draco looked at it sceptically.
"Are you sure that this is food?" he asked her. Hermione rolled her eyes.
"Yes, and it's good, too. Well, fatty, but good." She assured him and plopped down next to him in their booth and handed him a burger. When she started eating hers and he still looked a little sceptical she rolled her eyes again and put down her own burger. She picked up his burger and held it out to him right in front of his mouth so all he had to do was lean forward a little and take a bite, which he did. Then he grinned.
"That's what I was going for." He said after swallowing, the grin still evident on his face. Hermione swatted him on the arm playfully.
"I should have known." She said with a smile. "So, tell me Draco, do you at least like it?" she asked, regarding the muggle food in front of him. He nodded.
"Yeah, it's not bad. Finally something other than the food at those formal death eater dinners my father throws all summer." Draco said, his silver eyes clouding with something that looked a lot like pain. 'I guess he doesn't like talking about his home.' Hermione thought, biting her lip. Draco cleared his throat.
"Let's talk about something else." He suggested and Hermione nodded. "So, are you going to explain everything to Potter and Weasley tomorrow? About me forcing myself onto you because you were so drunk after finding out you were adopted?" her asked her, grinning at her.
"Yeah, I'll go to the burrow and talk to them. I might have to spend the day with them, too. We have a lot of catching up to do. Plus, they mustn't suspect that I just want to get back to you." Hermione explained. Draco raised an eyebrow at her.
"Are you sure those two dimwits could figure that out?" he questioned. Hermione slapped him playfully again.
"Harry and Ron aren't stupid, you know." She exclaimed. Draco leaned forward.
"Too bad you'll be there the whole day. Cause I'd much rather spend the day with you that alone in Diagon Alley." He said huskily placing his lips softly onto hers. It wasn't long before Hermione responded to the kiss. Their half eaten burgers lay forgotten in front of them.
As they parted they saw two shocked people standing behind them, with their mouth hanging wide open. Seamus Finnegan and Dean Thomas. Hermione jumped.
"What are you two doing here?" she screeched in a very high pitched voice.
"I could ask you the same thing." Seamus retorted, finding himself before Dean.
"I asked first." Hermione said, shifting in her seat.
"I'm staying at Dean's place for the summer, but that's not important. And when we come here to get dinner we find you, Hermione Granger, fraternizing with the enemy!" Seamus yelled at Hermione. Tears sprung to her eyes. And as Draco saw this he stood up and walked over to Seamus and Dean.
"Listen you two, I am not the enemy. And you're not going to say a word about this to anyone, do you understand?" Draco asked them in a low growl.
"Please. You can't tell anyone. Promise me that." Hermione pleaded at them. Seamus and Dean exchanged a look.
"All right. We won't tell anyone. But if anyone asks us, we won't lie to them." Dean spoke up. Hermione gave a faint smile.
"Thank you. You don't know how much that means to me. Come on, Draco, let's go back to Diagon Alley." She said. "I'll see you on the Hogwarts Express. Goodbye." Hermione added towards Seamus and Dean. Draco didn't say anything, but nodded to the two standing there, as if to show his gratitude. This shocked the two boys again. Draco Malfoy showed his gratitude towards two Gryffindors, one of them muggle born. Somehow, all their hate towards the young Malfoy vanished at that moment as they saw how he acted around Hermione, he even held the door open for her. Could it be that the muggle hater had fallen in love with Hermione Granger, star student and muggle born? Even if he or Hermione didn't know it yet, Seamus and Dean thought it was entirely possible.
