"Miss Granger, wake up"
Hermione felt somebody slightly nudge her shoulder and she slowly opened her eyes. She peered up to see Ralph.
"Miss Granger, Draco is waiting downstairs for you...Breakfast has been served"
"Oh, I'm sorry, I'll be down in a second!" Hermione jumped out of bed and found her suitcase at the end of the bed, opened it and rummaged for some decent clothes to wear. She found a t-shirt and some jeans. She stood straight and saw that Ralph was there still, she cleared her throat and he got the hint and left the room and closed the door. She then hastily took off her day old clothes, which she had slept in and pulled on her shirt and jeans. She then ran out the door and realised she had no idea where the dinning room is.
Hermione started running everywhere looking for the dinning room. That bastard Ralph didn't even stay, ugh, he creeps me out..Thought Hermione. After about 10 minutes she found some stairs and ran down, slipped, screamed and landed flat on her face on the carpet. "Son of a.." mumbled Hermione. She got up slowly and peered around. At least nobody had seen that. Hermione then continued to walk and look for the Dinning Room. She felt a sting in her cheek and she put her hand to it.
"Ouch..". She looked at her hand and there was a few specks of blood. Then finally she walked around a corner and there was Draco sitting at the end of a long table with dozens of breakfast items before him. None touched though.
"What took you so long...Did you have to find the perfect clothes to impress me? " said Draco smirking.
"Shut up...Your house is really big, I was lost...You should at least get me a map or something.." said Hermione as she found her chair and sat in it.
"Got enough food for two people?" said Hermione staring at all the food present.
"Plenty, but actually it's not all for us. I've invited some of my friends.." said Draco.
"Are you serious! I can't stand them!" exclaimed Hermione.
"Oh, I know. It's not really up to you is it Mudblood. You're my slave remember?" said Draco spitefully.
He seemed a little different from what he was lately. He'd dropped the whole Mudblood thing, but now he was doing it again. Hermione wondered if something had happened. But her thoughts were interrupted when she heard a knocking on the door. Hermione was sitting at the other end of the long table. Then she heard the door open and a screech.
"Dracie!" yelled Pansy as she ran towards Draco and huge him, while randomly kissing him on the cheeks. Draco merely stared at Hermione. Pansy then stopped and looked at Hermione and narrowed her eyes.
"What the hell is that doing here, in your house..and especially when I'm here!" said Pansy as she started to raise her voice. Pansy then walked straight up to Hermione and yanked at her long brown hair and shouted "get out of my seat you whore!".
Hermione slapped Pansy's hand from her hair and stood up, she reached for her wand but she realised that she left it in her room. Pansy realised this and said "Aww, little bright bitch forgot her wand...looks like I'll be the one doing all the hurting today..". Then Pansy put her hand in her bag and fetched out her wand and pointed it at Hermione's neck.
Hermione smiled and said "I don't think so, I'll just have to do the job the old fashion way", Hermione then made a fist and socked Pansy straight in the face. Pansy fell to the floor with a shriek and a thud.
"Bi-..tch" stuttered the shocked Pansy.
"Oh I'm sorry, weren't you expecting that? C'mon Pansy, let's go old school...even without a wand I'll kick your butt.." taunted Hermione. Usually she would never continue a fight, or even start one, but that was before Draco and his actions. Hermione felt like she could do anything, well, almost anything. She'd always wanted to beat up Pansy anyway.
Hermione glanced at Draco and he was looking at nothing in particular, he was in his own world again, and he was frowning, he then noticed Hermione was watching his and looked her straight in the eyes, then he looked to her right and Hermione turned to look and Pansy had gotten up and as Hermione had turned Pansy slapped her, Hermione's head flung in the direction that she was slapped.
Hermione looked at Pansy and slapped her back. Then Pansy slapped her in return and Hermione made another fist and swung at Pansy to which she dodged to her left and kicked her in the stomach. Hermione staggered backwards while clutching her stomach in pain.
"What were you saying about kicking my butt, cause it seems like I'm kicking your ass, it'll teach you to touch my Draco..." said Pansy, with a huge emphasis on 'my Draco'. When Hermione heard this statement she felt a huge feeling of jealousy and anger. Hermione immediately forgot the pain in her stomach and charged for Pansy, and jump-tackled her. Pansy shrieked and landed on her back, with Hermione on top of her.
Hermione sat on Pansy's waist and started pulling at her hair and Pansy replied by attempting to scratch Hermione's eyes out with her nails, all the while Pansy was yelling insults at Hermione.
Then the two heard a loud "Stop it, you two look like fools". It was Draco. He didn't sound very happy at all. When the two heard this they ceased immediately. Hermione slowly got off Pansy and stood next to the table. Pansy got up hastily and ran over to Draco.
"Oh Draco, see, she's such a horrible person, why is she even here? You're just too kind..But why let her stay...Why not me?".
Draco looked at Pansy and simply said "because she doesn't annoy me as much..". Pansy looked shocked by that answer but didn't reply or retaliate. Hermione however, laughed, on the inside.
"Look, if I knew you were going to act like this I wouldn't have invited you to my home. I think you should leave Pansy...I'll see you at the Festival..Goodbye" said Draco with no sign of emotion on his face.
Hermione smiled and waved goodbye to Pansy as she stormed out into the direction of the houses exit. They then heard a door open and slam shut, then the screech of Draco's chair sliding across the ground as he stood up. He then walked over to Hermione and grabbed her chin.
"Ouch.." said Hermione, accidentally letting it escape her lips. Draco studied her face and with his other hand he brushed the hair from her face and some random pieces of dirt. Then he just let his fingers trail across her face. Hermione let another "ouch" come from her mouth as his fingers touched an open wound, most likely from Pansy's nails or from the carpet.
Draco saw it and said "Wait here.." and walked away. Several minutes later he came back and opened the band-aid packet he was holding and placed in upon Hermione's small wound. Hermione smiled awkwardly. For some reason she felt weirded out. She put her hands in her pockets. Then it occurred to her, Draco said something about a Festival. She didn't know of any Festival, and if it Draco was going, doesn't that mean she had to go to?
After a couple minutes of silence Hermione piped up "What's this festival?".
Draco hesitated for a while and said "It's just like a little carnival they hold each year, rides, shops, that sort of stuff..". Hermione nodded. Sounded like fun.
"Are...we going?"
"Well, yes. But if you don't want to.." said Draco looking away while shrugging.
"What is this? Draco Malfoy suggesting that I don't have to go if i don't want to. A slave getting a choice? Who are you!" said Hermione laughing a little.
Draco smiled and looked at her and said "Fine, you have to go...you have to go with me..".
"Well who else am I supposed to go with...Ralph?" the two laughed then Ralph walked past and gave Hermione an evil look, to which Hermione just laughed even more. Creep, she thought.
"When is it?" asked Hermione.
"Uh, at the end of the holidays, around that time...Everyone from school will probably be there..." replied Draco, who the stopped and thought about it afterwards. He remembered that almost everyone from school would be there. Ugh, Harry fucking Potter...He thought.
"Hm.." said Hermione nodding again. "Do you have a Garden?" she said out of the blue.
Draco seemed taken aback by this but never the less he replied. "Yes, actually I do..Why?"
"Can I see it? I am your guest you know" she said hopefully.
"You are also my slave, so...I'll show you my Garden when I feel like it.." he said. Hermione wasn't surprised by the answer, it was expected. Hermione then swatted Draco's hand from her chin and said "Well, there's nothing stopping me from leaving you and your fancy house. I'm so sick of you! Hermione looked at her arm, the one tattooed mark that was there was now gone.
"And look, your stupid things gone too..I'm nothing to you. Why are you still bothering me, you have Pansy and all your other friends. You could probably get any girl in Slytherin. Just leave me alone!" said Hermione with an unhappy tone.
"Yeah, I probably could. And if you think that you could just leave...Leave. I'm not stopping you", said Draco with no emotion at all.
