888Chapter Eight- The lunch and the unexpected visitor888

The lunch was going well, Hermione and Draco were getting on well, talking about politics, school and other things, they were just starting on about the mistreatment to animals. Ron was eating and Harry was looking on in wonder at the fact that the once Dark Prince of Slytherin was talking with a muggle born witch. They had just been served the main meal and were starting to loosen up a little around each other.

Harry had been a little apprehensive about how his two best friends would react about Draco, but they seemed fine, Hermione had accepted him almost instantly, but Ron took a little convincing.

"Yes but I don't see why they have to try new spells and potions on innocent animals, especially when they are almost extinct, like the EVIL VOMBAT OF DEATH!" Hermione said passionately.

"I know but would you rather experiment them on humans, I know it's cruel and I agree with you but I'd still rather know that small animals are dying, when there are many hundreds of them, instead of many human beings." Draco said exasperatedly.

Ron looked like he was about to interrupt, since it was obvious Hermione was about to start on one of her lectures on animal cruelty and the rights they should have in the law system, but before he could say any thing there came an almighty crash from the kitchen. They could then hear a female's voice yelling about some thing.

Draco obviously knew what was going on because he groaned and stood up, excusing himself and left the room. As soon as he left the room there was a girly squeal and some quick talking, although they could make out none of what was being said. Hermione asked Harry if he knew what was going on but by the look on his face, he obviously had no idea either.

Her question was soon answered though when Draco walked back into the room, accompanied by a tall woman, who wore expensive looking clothing, although way too pink for any ones liking. She held her hand out to Harry and said politely, "Hi, I'm Gloria Penny"

Harry shook her hand and as she leant over to Ron to also shake his hand, Harry looked at Draco questioningly. Draco just shook his head as to say 'later'. Gloria was now shaking Hermione's hand and smiling brightly, her bleached white teeth shining in the little light in the small room. Harry looked back at her and had the weirdest feeling of familiarity, like he knew her, but he couldn't recognize her.

"Is it alright if she stays and has lunch with us?" Draco asked the others.

"Umm, yeah, it's alright with me, what about you two, Ron, Hermione?"

Ron shrugged, and said "Meh"

"I don't mind." Hermione said.

A waiter then walked in carrying a chair, he placed between Draco and Hermione. Another walked in right after the first and placed down a set of cutlery and a napkin and placed a menu in the center of it. He then bowed and left the room. Gloria then sat down and picked up the menu and started flicking through it.

Ron started eating again, Hermione was looking at Gloria, obviously wanting to know more, whether she was a witch or a muggle, how she knew Draco and why she didn't ask for their names, but Hermione being Hermione, she was too shy to ask things so bluntly. But of course, Harry was not.

"So, how do you know Draco?" Harry asked Gloria.

"Hmm? Oh right, well, I went to school with him of course! We were both in Slytherin, but I felt the need to get away and didn't really see the point in staying at school since I wanted to be an actress." She answered as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.

Harry heard a fork clatter against a plate; Ron had obviously been listening to what was being said. Hermione sat there, deep in thought, Harry looked dumbfounded and Draco looked the same as ever, like nothing had happened. "But, there was never any one there named Gloria Penny," Hermione muttered to herself.

"Oh, that's because that's just my screen name!" Gloria exclaimed, "My actual name is…"
