Chapter 4: Shopping and Stick Shift Driving

"We have come to a decision" started Remus; "We need to keep Mr. Malfoy in hiding for awhile so we need him to live as a muggle in Miss. Granger's muggle residence"

There was silence for a minute but the four young adults burst,

"WHAT!"

"I can't have him in my house!"

"Me? Live with her? No way!"

"It's too dangerous!"

"We've been in bigger danger than this! But I still don't like it!"

"Why me?" asked Hermione calmly,

"Because you're the one who found him – also you live in a muggle home, where no one can find him, and you must not use magic – Miss Granger can, but Mr. Malfoy can't, speaking of which, Mr. Malfoy, your wand please," Draco reluctantly pulled out his wand,

"Goodbye," he muttered softly, stretching a shaking hand with his wand, Remus took it with a little trouble, Draco didn't want to let go.

"Miss Granger will see to your needs – nothing too luxurious mind you!" said Remus looking in Draco's direction, "You may go now," Hermione and Draco disapparated back to Hermione's house.

"Come on, Draco we have shopping to do," Hermione grabbed her car keys and purse. Draco stood still,

"You coming or do I have to pick your clothes myself?" Draco turned white and raced out the door, and into the car. Hermione followed him,

"You're in the wrong seat," said Hermione, "That's my seat,"

"I like this seat," said Draco, "It's got all kinds of buttons and a wheel, the seat moves too!"

"Careful! Don't break anything! That's the drivers seat, and I'm driving,"

"I want to drive!"

"You don't know how to!"

"Then teach me!"

"No, I'm not licensed to teach lessons!"

"So? You've broken nearly every Hogwarts rule!"

"That's not the point, get out!"

"Fine! can I sit here or it that the cat's seat?"

"You can sit there," said Hermione pointing to the passenger seat,"

"Thank you!" said Draco sitting in that seat. Hermione sat in her seat and put the keys in the ignition, (I don't know when automatic cars were invented so Hermione drives stick shift) checked her mirror and pushed in the clutch, shifted into reverse and put a little gas on and they backed out of the driveway, into the street. Hermione then shifted into first gear, then less then a few seconds later into second gear. Once she got onto the main road she shifted to third, (now before I give you all stick shift driving lessons out of boredom I'm going to skip to when they arrive at a store)

"Here we are!" said Hermione parking and putting the car in neutral. Draco was stunned; he was never in a car before,

"You can get out now," Hermione waved her hand in front of his face. He came out of his trance,

"I think I'm gonna be sick," Draco put a hand to his mouth and jumped out of the car,

"You fly a broom you can't get car sick!" Hermione whispered, then got out of the car,

Draco started running to the store,

"Don't run! You're in a parking lot! You could get – LOOK OUT!" Thankfully the driver saw Draco and stopped and let him cross the road, with Hermione on his tail.

"Bloody muggles," Draco muttered,

"Don't' say any magical terms, we are going into a facility full of them!"

"We are? "

"Yes, got a problem?"

"Where's the bathroom?"

"Inside the store,"

"Oh, right, I knew that, where's the door knob?"

"Step closer to the door," Draco walked a little closer and the door opened, he jumped back,

"It's and automatic door, come on before it closes,"

"Draco followed Hermione, he fully entered the store as Hermione got the cart, and Draco saw a restroom sign,

"Hey Granger? I'm going to use the facilities be back in 5"

"Fine, I'll look at the ad." Draco ran into the bathroom, soon he was finished.

"It's a war in there! Bloody toilets and sinks!"

"What? They should be like the ones in Hogwarts –"

"The toilets flush themselves! They attack you! They're EVIL!"

"Ah, they have automatic toilets huh? Well they have a camera inside them and they flush for you so you don't spread germs and if there isn't any weight or much of it on the toilet seat or if it feels less weight like you're getting off, it flushes. You must have moved."

"How can one use said things without moving? Another thing! IT watches you! Who knew inanimate objects could be perverts! The sinks turn on and off by them selves too! Is that another auto-metric thingy?"

"Automatic, and yes, there is a sensor below the tap and if it sees of feels your hand in turns on, if it senses you left if turns off."

"What is this mu- I mean World coming to!" Some muggles were staring at him,

"Draco, let's go before more people stare at us." Hermione said through her teeth,

"Ok," They took off, in the hygiene section, they found suitable men's shampoo, soap etc.

Then they had a field day in the men's clothes section:

"I can't wear this!"

"For goodness sakes! Just because it's not – er what you usually wear doesn't mean it's not comfy! Just put it on!" Hermione was shoving a pair of jeans, into Draco's arms.

"But!"
"No buts! You have to blend in," Hermione whispered the last part,

"Fine, only because if I don't I'll be found!" Draco took the pile of clothes and went into the dressing room,

"Hermione, can I please use your – you know what- so this takes less time?"
"No I didn't bring it with me,"

"WHAT! Why? What if there are killers or what ever type of criminals there are out there?"

"I know plenty of self defense- you should know,"

"That's good for 13 year olds that won't help for older weirdoes!"

"That's why I took Karate for 7 years,"

"Care- a- te? Huh?"

"It's a self defense class,"

"Oh,"

"You should really pay attention in mu- you know what I mean – studies,"

"I never took that class,"

"It was required!"

"I played hooky,"

"What?"

"You've never played hooky before?"

"No, I"

"It's so much fun!"

"So? Are you done yet?"

"Yeah, they all fit," Draco threw the clothes over the door, Hermione caught most of them, and put them in the cart,

"Let's go pay for these," They left the dressing rooms and headed towards check out.

"That will be Insert large UK Price here" said the clerk,

"WHAT! What about the 20 off deal?" Hermione complained

"That expired last week,"

"No! I read it right here! See?"

"Check that date,"

"What? NO! No, this can't be right I got it today! Let me talk to an associate!"

The clerk sighed and called a manager, soon she showed up,

"What's the problem?"

"Isn't there a 20 off deal this week! I got this ad today! What's going on!"

"This is last week's ad,"

"But I got it today! In the newspaper!"

"I'm sorry Ma'am but that was last week,"

"But it was in today's paper! I checked!"

"You know what? Fine let her have it, there was some mistake, and we're sorry ma'am"

Hermione paid the clerk a now cheaper price and took the stuff home.
