Chap. 7 : Jack? Jack Who?

Chap. 7 sumarry : We learn who this 'Jack' is and we get his backstory later on...Someone gets a little drunk and twomad Slytherins.

"Jack? Jack!" Hermione leaped off stage, ran past Draco and into the arms of a very handsome man.

"Hermione, darling!" He cried out.

Draco looked at what just happened and his blood started to boil. Hermione had completely ignored him. Everything was going perfect….and then that asshole had to come through the door.

"So this is Christmas, and what have you done? Another year over and a new one just begun, and so happy Christmas. I hope you have fun. The near and the dear one, the old and the young..." Neville, Parvati, Lavender, Ron, Luna, Fred and George sang on stage. But Hermione was way to busy to notice her former classmates singing all together.

"Omigod! I didn't even see you come through the door or-or heard that you came back from Paris. I thought you still lived there!" Hermione said in a very 'unlike' Hermione voice.

"Yeah, well I had a change of plans….you know how I could never stay away from England….and you, of course." Hermione's smile widen even more.

"Oh Jack…."

"Jack!" Natalie called out to him; she then hugged him and pinched his cheek. "How are you!"

"I'm fine…" then his eyes looked Natalie up and down. " But you look at you…..Mrs. Robinson over here." Natalie blushed, which John came behind her.

"Now, now, now Jack….she's mine."

"Oh Ja-ack" Grandmere called out in a sing-song voice. Jack turned around to see her.

"Oi! Grandmere how I could not say bonjour to the women I love." He said dramatically.

"...Let's hope it's a good one. Without any fear, and so this is Christmas. And what have we done? Another year over anda new year just begun, and so this is Christmas, I hope you have fun..."

At the bar…..

One gray-eyed Slytherin was watching the scene happening before him…

"What the fuck is this?" Draco said more to himself then to Blaise.

"I don't know….but who is this Jack? And….why is he feeling up on your fiancée?" Draco then turned to Blaise.

"He is NOT feeling up on my fiancée." Draco then left the bar; Leaving a laughing Blaise in the background.

Draco took this time to examine this 'Jack.' Jack had brown hair, which was wavy and thick. He had brown eyes, which could probably seduce you if you looked into them long enough. He was tall enough, but not as tall as Draco. He was toned, could see it through his shirt. He had many glares from girls but didn't seem to notice them but Hermione. My Hermione. Jack then reminded him of someone….maybe a James Dean….no, no…more a Rock Hudson. Damn it! I have been watching way too many muggle movies.

Why are you here thinking about what movie star Jack look likes? Go get Hermione! The guy is basically humping her leg.The other voice in head said.

" A very Merry Christmas, and a happy new year. Let's hope it's a good one, without any fear, war is over, if you want it, war is over nooooo-ww. HAPPY CHRISTMAS! HAPPY CHRISTMAS!" The group rang out throughout the bar.

Soon Draco walked up behind Hermione, who was still talking and didn't notice his presence.

"Hem, hem." Hermione then turned around surprised.

"Oh, Draco. I didn't see you there." Draco raised his eyebrow. How could she not see me!

"Aren't you going to introduce us, Hermione?" Drco said as he noticed the confused look on Jack's face.

"Oh-yeah…this is my….umm…"

"Fiancée…Draco Malfoy, and who might you be?"

"Jack Milkal…" Jack then turned to Hermione. "Hermione, you never told me that you were engaged…I didn't think I was long that gone." He smiled, while she bit her lip.

"Well, it sort of happened quickly, you know….it was only a couple of weeks ago whenwe got engaged…but it was in themostromantic way." She smiled at the memory. While Draco had a proud look on his face.

"Draco?" Draco who behind him. He then turned around to Grandmere.

"Yes, Mrs. DuMaurier?"

"Oh don't call me that, call me Grandmere…anyway, I vas wondering whereiz yourmother, Narcissi iz? I haven't zeen her all night." Draco then turned around to the bar, expecting to see his mother there.

He then interrupted Hermione and Jack. "Hermione, have you seen my mother?"

"No-Oh Jack and you must meet his mother. She's quite the lady….you know the one I was telling you about…" Jack nodded his head as he understood.

Draco then looked at them suspiciously. What the hell is that suppose to mean?

But then Draco turned to the stage, and saw his mother on stage…. "Oh Merlin!" Draco whispered.

A drunk and disorderly Narcissa Malfoy was on stage, singing her heart out….out of tone that was.

" No, I can't forget this evening…or you face as you were leaving to Azkaban….But I guess that's just the way the story goes…You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows….yes it shows."

"Oh myz….." Grandmere said. "She zings very badly."

Please let Draco get his mum off stage fast…Hermione thought as she saw Narcissa sing.

"Mum…get off the stage." Narcissa started to sob and sing even louder. Earning many groans from the now small audience.

"I can't live if living is without YOU…..I can't live, I can't give anymore..."

Draco started to lose his patience. "Mum! Get off stage, now!"

"No! I can't LIVE….."

"That's it!" Draco whispered, before he grabbed his mum off stage.

"Oh-Draco, let go of me!" His mother struggled, but she was no match. She gave up less then 5 seconds later.

Draco then went up to Hermione with a 'I'm-sorry-I-didn't-think-would-happen' look.

"Uh-I'm gonna take her to the-the"

"Car, Draco."

"Yeah, car. She'll probably pass out." He then went to kiss her on the lips, but she turned her head and he ended up kissing her cheek instead.

"Okay…"

"LUCIUS!" Narcissa said as she collasped once more.

"If you want to be happy for the rest of your life, never make a pretty woman your wife….so from my personal point of view get an ugly girl to marry you!" The guys in the bar sang.

"HOW TRUE!" Someone yelled, and everyone laughed. While on the other side of the bar, Draco started to get annoyed.

"You know, Jack. I still can't believe this." Hermione said still smiling.

"Yeah, you know I met some-" Jack was interrupted by Draco.

"Hermione."

"Yes, Draco?" Hermione asked, slighty annoyed.

"We have to get going soon…." Hermione nodded.

"Hey Jack. I was-" Hermione was now interrupted by Ginny.

"Oh Hermione….you haven't introduced up." Ginny came up behind Hermione.

"Jack-this is Gin-"

"Virginia Weasley. But my friends call me Ginny." Ginny started to shake his hand and look into his eyes. Soon Blaise was behind her, and didn't have a happy look on his face.

"And I'm her fiancée." He said, extending his hand, which Jack excitedly took.

"Hi, I'm Jack Milkal." Blaise shook his hand, but then Draco whispered to him.

"Now whose fiancée is feeling who up?" Draco said in a mock voice.

"Shut it, Draco." Blaise turned to Ginny. "Ginny.." But she kept on talking to Jack.

"Ginny!" She finally turned around.

"What!"

"Can we talk?" She sighed in annoyance.

"Sure." Before going to somewhere private.

"But if you make an ugly woman your wife. A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life. A-you'll be happy for the rest of your life. An-ug-a-ly woman cooks meals on time. And she'll always give you peace of mind. So, if you want be happy for the rest of your life. Never make a pretty woman your wife. So from my personal point of view, get an ugly girl to marry you!" The song ended and everyone cheered.

Grandmere, Natalie and John came back from dancing, laughing the whole way. "I didn't know you could do a split like that, 'Becca."

Grandmere smiled. "There 're a lotz of thingz you don't know about me."

Soon, everything quieted down in the pub as some people started to leave and say their Goodbyes.

"So, Jack…where are you staying?" Hermione asked.

"Oh, just some hotel…" Hermione's face lit up. Draco knew was what coming. He dreaded this moment, he knew it. Everything in the next 5 seconds happened in slow motion.

"I….have…a….wonderful….idea….Jack! Why….don't…..you….stay….over." Draco hid back a groan. Great…say something!

"NO!" On second thought. Everyone turned to Draco.

"What do you mean Draco?" Hermione asked, her eyes narrowing.

Oh Shit….was all that Draco thought at the moment. "I mean….we…don't…have enough rooms. You know, with all the people staying. I mean, your mum, dad, grandmere, and my mum…"

Hermione simply chuckled. "Oh, Draco. You forget, we have 7 rooms. It's enough room, don't worry Jack."

Jack simply smiled. "Hermione, you know you don't have to do this."

"I have to. You're my friend and it's the holiday season. I don't you want to spend it alone."

"Alright, alright, Hermione. You won me over." Jack said, and they both hugged.

"Oh, I can't wait! You can help with Christmas Dinner." Natalie said.

"And you can help finizh the decorating!" Grandmere said.

What the fuck is this? A hallmark commercial? Draco thought as he witnessed the scene before him.

"So, it's settled." Hermione took out her wand. "Ziphgito." Then in her hand, appeared a piece of parchment with writing on it. "Here's the address. Your room will be set up, once you get there." Hermione kissed him on the cheek and he was on his way out.

Hermione then turned to Draco. "I'll be right back."

"Well…I'll get everyone to the car." Draco said as he went into the crowd.

Hermione then spotted Blaise and Ginny, and quickly went over to them.

"I was not flirting, Blaise! I'm like that with everyone!"

"Oh-well isn't that the understatement of the century!"

"You guys…" Hermione tried to get in the conversation.

"You know something Blaise. I'm not going to apologize. It's not like I was cheating…"

"Um…" Hermione said once again, trying to make her presence obvious.

"I bet you, if I didn't come you would have cheated!"

"You asshole! How about the time with the veela, huh! "

Blaise sighed and rolled his eyes. "Not this again. God, I wasn't flirting, I was only asking for her name..."

"DAMN IT! YOU GUYS!" Hermione yelled, causing both Blaise and Ginny to turn to her.

"WHAT!" They both screamed.

"I have been trying to get both of your guys attention for the past 30 seconds!"

"So…" Blaise said, while Ginny give him a dirty look.

"What is it, Hermione?" Ginny asked.

"I was just going, wanted to say Happy Christmas…..anyway owl me later." Ginny hugged her and wished her a Happy Christmas, while Blaise did give her a hug and a 'Happy Christmas' but was still sulking under his breath.

30 minutes later…

The house was quiet, and all was asleep, the arrival of Jack caused some chaos, and the drunk Narcissa attempting to Advera Kadera everyone with Acabracabra didn't help either...but surpringsly the Malfoy/Granger household was perfectly peaceful and quiet at the moment.

"Why won't you tell me?" Draco asked Hermione the fifth time that night.

"What do you want to know?" Hermione put down her book on the nightstand and looked at Draco.

"Why won't you tell me what is with you and Jack?" Hermione rolled her eyes.

"I'm not telling you."

"Why?"

"Because." Draco finished putting his P.J.s on and went into the bed next to her.

"Hermione," He took her hand. "If we want an open and honest relationship we're gonna have to stop keeping secrets." Hermione sighed.

I knew it would work…Draco thought and couldn't help smirking.

Hermione's eyes widen. "I knew it! What you just said was bullshit. You just want to know about me and Jack."

"Alright, so some of what I said might have been…" Hermione looked at him again. He finally finished. "Bullshit. But seriously, if we do want an honest marriage at that, we have to get everything out in the open."

"Okay…" Draco came closer to her, not wanting to miss any details.

"Jack has been my friend for years, since I was five, we met in preschool." Draco gave her a confused look. "It's a school for little kids…a-never mind, anyway remember that summer we broke up for like a month?" Draco slightly cringed. How could I forget?

Flashback :

It was the summer after school ended. Draco was in the manor, on his bed, crying to his best friend Blaise.

"How could she LEAVE me!" Blaise rolled his eyes.

"Come on, she's probably with the some handsome block.." Draco's eyes widen and he took out his wand.

"You take that back!"

"For Fuck's sake! You're taking this way to hard!" Blaise didn't seem to be phrased by the wand pointed in his face.

"Leave me alone." He put his wand away.

" All by myself

Don't wanna be

All by myself anymore…"

" HERMIONE!" Draco started sobbing into his pillow.

A week later…

"All by myself….don't wanna be all by myself anymore…" Draco started whispering to himself while one of the house elves played a tune on the piano.

"Why did she have to leave me…." Draco started sobbing again.

2 days later in his room….

Draco was holding a picture of Hermione and him at a Beach. He started to sob again. " Why did she have to leave me!"

End Flashback

"Draco?"

Draco looked at Hermione, as she waited for an answer. "Yes, of course I remember."

Hermione looked uncomfortable. "Well, I thought you would be dating, so on the advice of Ginny and Blaise, I started to date again."

Draco couldn't help but hear "All by myself" play over and over in his head. Note to self : Kill Blaise AND Ginny

Hermione continued. "Anyway, I sort of dated Jack."

"What!"

"Well, dating isn't the word. More like shagging over the course of 2 days…"

"WHAT!"

Well, at least he didn't take it bad. Hermione thought and managed a weak smile.
