A/n: here's another chappy
disclaimer: u know i don't own shit except my dignity. I don't even think i own that either!
The next day, after my parents went to work, I got Draco out of my old room. "Come on Malfoy" I said. He looked up at me. "What?" "Come on, we're going out for a little bit." He looked confused but obliged. We left my house.
We walked down the street and came up the porch of a small yellow house. I rang the doorbell and a young girl Draco and I's age answered. "Hey 'Mione" said the girl. "Hey Clair. Can me and a friend use your fireplace?" I asked.
The girl by the name of Clair looked back at Draco and smiled. "Sure, come in." I smiled and walked in. Draco followed suit and looked around the house. It was full of moving portraits and very colorful furniture. Clair had amber colored hair and bright blue eyes. By the looks of things, Clair could've passed as a Weasley.
"Where are you guys heading?" Clair asked. I looked up at my friend, "A friend's house." I simply answered. Draco looked at me, "We better not be going to Weasley." I glared at him and pulled him into the fireplace with me. I grabbed some floo powder and said, "The Burrow." Draco and I disappeared in spiraling emerald flames.
The next thing we knew, we were in the living room of the Weasley home. I looked back at Draco and told him to stay in the living room while I went to find at least one of the Weasley family members.
I searched the kitchen and Mrs. Weasley was not there. I walked up the stairs and neither Ron or Ginny were there. I walked back down to the living room to inform Draco that no one was home. But the scene I walked into showed me that I was wrong. I saw Ron, Harry and Ginny in the living room with Draco. Ginny and Harry were sitting on one of the couches cheering on Ron.
I saw Ron beating the living daylights out of Draco. He held Draco in a choke hold and punched his stomach continuously. "Ron!" I yelled. He looked up at me and dropped Draco. Ron came up to me. "You were here with him?" he asked. I ran passed him and nodded. "Yes Ron! Oh my God. Malfoy, are you ok?"
Draco stayed on the ground. He had no energy to say anything. "I came here for help" I said. "I needed to find a way to help keep Malfoy safe." Harry furrowed his eyebrows, "Why would we want to keep Malfoy safe? He attacked you a few months ago! He almost killed Dumbledore!And we wanna keep him safe?"
"Well if you don't want to, then don't. But at this moment, I have to. I may be his only hope." I argued. I put Draco's arm around my neck and put my arm around his waist. I tried to lift him up and even he tried to put up his share. "Here Hermione, let me help" Ginny offered.
Ginny help me get to the fireplace with Draco next to me. "Good luck" she said with a very faint smile. I nodded and departed from the home.
By the time we returned to my house, me parents were home. Which was not good. "What are you gonna tell them" Draco said when he retained some of his breath. "I don't know" I replied. What was I gonna tell my parents?
I opened the front door and the living room was empty. I sighed in relief and tried to have Draco get up the stairs. I got him to my bedroom and I heard my mother's voice. "Hermione, is that you?" I bit my bottom lip. "Yea mum, it's me." Hearing footsteps coming toward me, I panicked. My feet stayed rooted to the ground.
"What are you doing?" Draco asked. "I can't move" I said. Then I finally saw my mother. She stared at me to Draco. "Hermione, is there something we need to talk about?" my mother asked. I seemed to have nodded my head. I was able to move again and brought Draco to my room. My mother followed and stood in front of my desk.
"So" she started, "Explain this to me, so I can try to help." I sighed. I began to explain Draco's story to my mother. She was as shocked as I was when I was asked. When I was finished, my mum looked at Draco sympathetically. "You poor thing" she said. Draco looked at his feet. "But who did this to you" my mum asked, talking about the bruises on Draco's face.
"Weasley" Draco muttered. Mum gasped, "Ronald?" I nodded. "Well, I guess he'll be able to stay until you guys go back to school." Draco muttered a 'thanks' under his breath as my mum walked out of my bedroom. "She's nice" Draco said. "I guess" I said. As I said that, Draco smiled. A genuine smile.
"What are you smiling at Malfoy?" I ask. He shakes his head. I leave to go to the bathroom. When I come back, Draco is already asleep. I sigh and close the door.
A little while after Draco wakes up, he finds me in my old room, over a steaming cauldron. "Granger, what are you doing?" Draco askes me. I look up at him and look back at my cauldron. "I'm trying to find a way to help you" I answered bluntly. Draco came and sat in front of me. "What is it?" he pondered. He was starting to piss me off with the questions.
"It's a potion to change your appearance for a good amount of time. Much longer than Polyjuice." I said. Draco nodds, "So how am I gonna look like?" I sighed. "I'm not sure Malfoy, now shush." Draco stands up and stalks out the room muttering things under his breath.
Not long later, I come out the room with a plastic cup in my hand. I hand it to Draco. "Here, drink it." I say. Draco glances at the cup, then back at me. "You can't be serious" he says. I nod my head and narrow my eyes. "Just drink the damn potion" I ordered. Draco rolled his eyes and sighed. He drank the whole cup in one gulp. Nothing in his appearance changed.
"What a waste of a potion. And my time" Draco said as he walked back into my room. "How could it not work" I ask myself. Then I hear a scream. I dart into my room and no longer see a blond Draco. Looking into my mirror, all pale and horror stricken was a boy with short,curly brown hair and chocolate eyes. He looked at me with wide eyes. He looked just like me only as a boy. He could've passed as my brother!
"What did you do to me Granger!" Draco yelled. "I had no idea you would come out like that" I said giggling. I really didn't know but the sight of Draco looking like that made me laugh. "I'm not going back to Hogwarts looking like a part of your family!" By now, I was on my bed, rolling around, laughing. Draco hit me with a pillow "Dont you dare laugh at me" he said.
But that only made me laugh even harder. He hit me with my pillow again. "Shut up!" I tried to stop laughing so I just took deep breaths. A few giggles got out of my mouth. "Okay, okay" I started. I looked at the brunette Draco. "But you have to admit, you look better with brown hair than blonde" I said.
Draco's mouth fell open. "How. Can. You. Say. That?" he yelled. I started laughing again. "Blonde hair gave me my look!" he continued. As he ranted on about his looks, I stared out the window. It started to get dark. 'Maybe this can work' I thought. Suddenly I saw Draco snapping his fingers in front of my face.
"Are you paying attention" he asked irritabley. I sighed and lied back on my bed. I felt Draco kick my leg so I kicked him back. Though I somewhat noticed I missed his leg by a few inches...
I heard him groan in pain and hit the floor. I sat up and looked at him. His hands were in between his legs and his face was pink with pain. "Oh shit" I said. But it wasn't long before I laughed.
Later when it was really late, Draco had already felt better and went to my old room. I changed into my pj's and sat on my bed. Thinking over the possible outcomes of helping Draco creepy. But I was a girl of my word. So I sat back in my bed and slowly drifted to sleep.
