Chapter 10
Hermione's POV:
The next day I woke up my lovely friend by jumping on his bed.
" Wakey wakey, Drakey!" Pansy moment, shudders.
" Don't call me that" He said and sat up. " What time is it?"
" Time for you to get up and buy a watch." Oh my God. That is SO funny! " I made a funny!" He opened his eyes.
" You made a funny?" He said slowly. He looked at me. " Cover yourself!"
" Why? Does it burn?" I said rolling my eyes. All I had on was a night gown.
" Why did you wake me up?" Present time! I got off his bed and held out my hand. He grabbed it and followed me to my room.
" Put these on." Oh, he's going to love these! He looked at them.
" I'm not wearing these." Or he is going to hate them. Either one…
" Then what are you going to wear at my parents house?" Jingle bells, hmm hmm hmm…
" Easy, I'm not going to your parents house." He crossed his arms over his chest and leaned against the door frame.
" Then you'll be going home for Christmas?"
" Christmas isn't due for another week. Why would I be going to a muggle home?" I stood up, grabbed the clothes and turned around to put them on my dresser.
" Have fun with your dad." I said and I waited.
" Okay, I'll go." He muttered. I gave him a hug and when we let go he said," What about Potter and Weasley? Is it because of yesterday you're not being with them this year?" I looked up at him and smiled.
" Harry and Ron don't stay mad forever. They'll think about it and come to their senses, like you said." I handed him the clothes again. " Try them on!" I sat on the bed and waited.
" What? You want a strip tease?" Maybe. " I'll be right back." He changed in the bathroom. He's taking an hour to put a on pair of muggle jeans and a black shirt. Whatever. I'll just read some…" Was I gone that long?" Finally, I…
" Holy shit. That looks so good on you!"
" Everything looks good on me." I rolled my eyes. " These pants are a little tight though." I laughed.
" I'm sorry." I took out my wand and had the clothes fitted to him. " Better?"
" Now they're baggy." Try two. " WHAO! What are you trying to do? Squeeze my balls out?" I give up then! I stood up.
" Then do it yourself!" I said and left the room. I'm thinking about brining Draco to a muggle restaurant. I wonder how that would turn ou- WHAT AM I WEARING? I ran back in my room and Draco was still there. " I…I forgot to change."
" How far did you go until realizing that?" He smirked.
" A little past our rooms." I said and he gave me one of his looks. " Okay, okay! I was half way to that empty classroom."
" Near the Great Hall?"
" Yes…"
" HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA-OUCH!"
" Jerk." I smiled. We stood there for a little while until I realized I still had to get dressed. " What? You want a strip tease?" I said and shooed him out of my room.
You know, time flies by when you're getting a pureblood ready for the muggle world. Draco sent a letter to his father saying he was staying at school this year. Professor Dumbledore let us floo to my house in his office.
" You two have fun now." He said.
" Oh, yeah, loads." Draco said sarcastically. We flooed into my living room. I stepped back to let Draco in. Why isn't he coming in?
" Oh, come on!" I grabbed him arm and pulled. We landed on the floor with him on top. My mom came in.
" Honey, they're here." She called into the kitchen to my dad and smiled at us. When we got off the floor my mother gave me a hug and then turned to Draco. " So, this is your boyfriend? He's very cute." WHAT?
" Umm, no, mom. He's definitely NOT my boyfriend!" Draco grabbed me.
" What about all the wonderful times we shared?" My dad came in.
" Like what? Hey, baby doll!" My dad gave me a hug and Draco a glare.
" Dad, this is Draco Malfoy."
" Draco Malfoy. Isn't he the kid who you said was the bully of the school?" DAD!
" I assure you, I am a changed man." Draco said. He sounds nervous. After a little more talking with my parents, my mother suggested we go up stairs, before my dad rips Draco's arm off. When Draco was settled into his room I went to unpack in mine.
"Ouch! Draco, what are you doing?" He grabbed me!
" You're not going to leave me are you?" I rolled my eyes.
" Draco Malfoy, go unpack. I'll be there in one minute. Then we can go out."
" Out where? You're taking out THERE?" He point to the outside from a window.
" Yes, Draco. Now let go!" Of course he didn't and I had to unpack with a 17 year old blond attached to me. Maybe I should call my father up here…
Later that day we went out to dinner, we being just me and Draco. No, it's not a date. I picked a nice little restaurant with different kinds of food so he has variety.
" Ready to order?" The waiter said.
" Sure, I'll have roast beef with…"
" Roast what?"
" Beef, Draco, beef."
" Oh." I finished my order and the waiter looked to Draco. " Stop staring at me! Didn't your mother teach you any manners? Damn muggle!" I covered my face.
" Draco, he's waiting to take your order." He flushed.
" Oh, yeah, that. I'll have what she's having." The waiter left. He leaned over to whisper to me. " What are you having?"
Thank Merlin dinner is over. It was…not as expected. Draco complained about the food and said the muggles look twitchy and can't be trusted. We were walking home when I saw a park. I used to go to that park all the time when I was little.
" Come with me." I said and took Draco's hand. I led him to the swing set and pushed him down on a swing. " Go." I said. He stared at me.
" Go where?" I explained what a swing was and got this weird look from him." So muggles go back and forth on this butt flap thingy?"
" Basically." We sat there for a while until he started to try it out. He flew off. " You okay?" I asked, running to his side.
" Oww oww oww." I tried to lift him. " Don't touch me, oww!" I dropped him. " Oh, come on!" He glared at me and laid there for a while. Then he did the strangest of things. He started laughing. " Draco Malfoy, one of the greatest wizards of his time, beat by a muggle swing. Fan-bloody-tastic!" Who said he was one of the greatest of his time? He went crazy. He sat up and looked around. About two or three hours later we were getting up and walking back to my house. He stopped at the door.
" What?"
" Is you're dad still home?" Coward.
" Are you honestly scared of my father?" You know you are…
" No, no, not at all. Is he home?" I sighed.
" Yes, he's home. No, he will not kill you." With that we went in. It was pretty late so we went up to our rooms. Ahhh, my bed. How I missed it so! I closed my eyes.
" Hermione!" I opened my eyes. This can't be happening. Draco opened the door and walked in. " Hermione, you awake?" He whispered.
" Yes." I hissed.
" Oh, well, good night!" He turned to leave.
" Night." And now to close eyes and sleep…
" Hermione?" And now he's back. Why me?
" What?"
" Nothing, never mind." I got up, grabbed his arm and threw him on my bed. Oh, yeah, I'm strong. I climbed in bed next to him and threw the covers over my head.
" Now. Go. To. Sleep." I looked up and him and he opened his mouth to say something. I put my hand over his mouth. " Don't you dare talk. Just sleep, please."
" Cranky."
" Tired is more like it."
" And cranky."
" You know…"
" Baby doll? Is that you?" Oh, shit! I got up again and put Draco in my closet. My dad came in. " What are you doing up so late?"
" I was just…" Hiding a boy in my closet. " Picking out clothes for tomorrow."
" You can do that in the morning. Go to sleep now. Good night."
" Night, dad" And off he went. I let out the breath I was holding.
" Let me out! I'm going to suffocate in here." Oops!
" Sorry!" He glared at me.
" You're lucky you're not at my Manor."
" Very lucky." I said without thinking and was rewarded with another glare.
" I'm going to sleep now." He said and climbed back into my bed. Oh, the nerve! " Coming, Granger?" Oh, we're back to last names now, are we?
" One moment, darling." And into the bed I go! When we were settled I closed my eyes. Sleep at last.
" I'm darling now?"
" Shut up." He laughed and pulled me to him. Draco Malfoy, a cuddle bunny. Who woulda thunk?
" Night, love." Again with the pet names!
Draco's POV:
Draco Malfoy, going to the Muggle world for Christmas vacation. My life really has gone to the Hippogriffs, hasn't it? I sent a letter to my father saying I was staying at school this year. Dumbledore let us floo to Hermione's house in his office. Oh, how generous…
" You two have fun now." He said.
" Oh, yeah, loads." I said sarcastically. We flooed into her living room. At least I think it's a living room. I'm not going in. Hermione stepped back. Not going, nope! This was a mistake. Dumbledore, take me back!
" Oh, come on!" Hermione grabbed my arm and pulled me in. Great, now I'm on the floor, on top of Hermione…this isn't so bad. Her mom came in.
" Honey, they're here." She called into the kitchen to, I'm guessing, Hermione's dad and smiled at us. When we got off the floor Hermione's mother gave her a hug and then turned to me. She gave me a once over.
" So, this is your boyfriend? He's very cute." I looked at Hermione and her face drained.
" Umm, no, mom. He's definitely NOT my boyfriend!" I grabbed her into a weird hug.
" What about all the wonderful times we shared?" I whined. Then her dad came in. Let me tell you, he is BIG! I wish I could use magic. I mean, what if he tried to kill me during the night?
" Like what? Hey, baby doll!" Hermione's dad gave her a hug and me a glare. Yep, I'm dead.
" Dad, this is Draco Malfoy."
" Draco Malfoy. Isn't he the kid who you said was the bully of the school?" I see I was talked about…
" I assure you, I am a changed man." I said. I'm going to live. Breathe, Draco. He's a muggle. A big ass muggle but a muggle none the less. They all conversed and finally we were sent upstairs. Hermione showed me the guest room. Yellow. I have to sleep in yellow. She turned and left. Wait, I'm sleeping alone? But…her dad! I ran to Hermione and grabbed her arm.
"Ouch! Draco, what are you doing?"
" You're not going to leave me are you?" She rolled her eyes.
" Draco Malfoy, go unpack. I'll be there in one minute. Then we can go out."
" Out where? You're taking out THERE?" She's taking me outside. Doesn't she know about those things? What are they called, guns?
" Yes, Draco. Now let go!" Of course I didn't and she unpacked with me close by.
Later that day we went out to dinner. Oh, nice, a date. This guy with weird clothes came in and looked to Hermione.
" Ready to order?" He said.
" Sure, I'll have roast beef with…"
" Roast what?" What the hell is all this stuff anyways?
" Beef, Draco, beef." That's helps…
" Oh." She stopped talking and the guy looked to me. " Stop staring at me! Didn't your mother teach you any manners? Damn muggle!" Hermione covered her face.
" Draco, he's waiting to take your order." Oh, he's a type of House Elf!
" Oh, yeah, that. I'll have what she's having." The muggle House Elf left. I leaned over and whispered to Hermione. " What are you having?" Is it sanitary?
That dinner SUCKED! The food took way to long to get there and that muggle House Elf wouldn't leave us alone. AND everyone was so twitchy. No muggle can be trusted! Now we're walking to Hermione's home.
" Come with me." She said and took my hand. She led me to this weird metal thing and pushed me down on a flappy thing. " Go." She said. Huh?.
" Go where?" She explained that this thing is a swing and that's all I understood.
" So muggles go back and forth on this butt flap thingy?"
" Basically." I tried it out. WEEEEEE- OUCH! " You okay?" Hermione ran to me.
" Oww oww oww." She tried to lift me. " Don't touch me, oww!" She dropped me! Wench. " Oh, come on!" I glared at her and just stayed on the ground for a while. I started laughing. " Draco Malfoy, one of the greatest wizards of his time, beat by a muggle swing. Fan-bloody-tastic!" I'm a Pureblood, dammit! How could a butt flap hurt me so much? Evil. They're all evil. We talked for a while. I guess this place was one of her favorite places. I'll keep that in mind. We walked back to her house. Oh, shit.
" What?"
" Is you're dad still home?" Please say no. Please say no. Please say…
" Are you honestly scared of my father?" Yes.
" No, no, not at all. Is he home?" She sighed.
" Yes, he's home. No, he will not kill you." With that we went in. It was pretty late so we went up to our rooms. I tried to sleep. Honestly, I did. But it's yellow. Who the hell can sleep in yellow. And her dad is some where in this house. I'm going to check on Hermione.
" Hermione!" No answer. " Hermione, you awake?" I whispered.
" Yes." Oh, thank Merlin.
" Oh, well, good night!" I turned to leave.
" Night." Yellow…
" Hermione?"
" What?"
" Nothing, never mind." I guess she got fed up with me because she basically threw me on her bed and climbed in. " Now. Go. To. Sleep." I was about to say something but no she covered my mouth. " Don't you dare talk. Just sleep, please."
" Cranky."
" Tired is more like it."
" And cranky."
" You know…"
" Baby doll? Is that you?" MOMMY! I was put in a closet. I couldn't hear anything but after a while I heard the door close. Now all she has to do is open the door. Why isn't she opening the door?
" Let me out! I'm going to suffocate in here."
" Sorry!" I gave her my best glare.
" You're lucky you're not at my Manor." Once a door is closed it won't open until day time. Unless my dad is home…
" Very lucky." I glared again.
" I'm going to sleep now." I said and climbed back into her bed. " Coming, Granger?" I love to tease!
" One moment, darling." When we were settled I waited until she was almost asleep.
" I'm darling now?"
" Shut up." I laughed and pulled her to me. I like to cuddle, so what? She fits me anyways.
" Night, love." Mine.
