I'm back again! Here's an addition to this ever-growing story. Please read and review, and also let me know of anything you want to see, or any chapters that you'd like me to expand on. Thanks!
Hermione walked along the Hogwarts corridor blissfully, listening to her brand-new iPod. It had been her crowning achievement so far, as, over Christmas break, she discovered the key to making muggle technology work adjacent to magic. It took several tries and a couple iPods, but after taking it apart and conducting multiple experiments, she had come up with a working prototype. She would refine it later, but for now, she walked happily along to Rihanna's "Umbrella" thumping through her earbuds.
Draco strolled down the same corridor, bored and restless after a dull Christmas break over at Malfoy Manor.
He stopped suddenly, surprised and confused at the sight before him. Granger, with her bushy hair flying around her, hips swaying, was dancing around with weird white wires in her ears.
"Er… Granger?"
She continued dancing, oblivious to the stunned Draco in front of her. The chorus began, and she closed her eyes, relishing the muggle music that she had so very much missed during her years prior. The thumping beat continued, and she missed the distressed Draco, trying to get her attention.
He was very much worried now. She wouldn't respond to him and was swaying dangerously, unresponsive. Perhaps she had been cursed? He inched forward, intending to tap her on the shoulder.
Hermione suddenly swung out her arm, elbowing Draco in the face rather harshly. At the same moment, her eyes flew open, and Draco reeled back, hands clutching his nose.
She hurriedly removed her earbuds, and eyes widening, stared uncomprehendingly at Draco.
"Bloody hell woman!"
"Draco! What on earth?"
As the pain subsided, he removed his hands and glared at Hermione.
"Were you cursed? Hexed? What happened?"
Hermione, momentarily confused, opened her mouth to question him. Her eyes then fell on her iPod and earbuds, and she began to laugh.
"No, Draco, it was my earbuds." At his uncomprehending expression, she elaborated. "Muggle technology. Try it"
He looked at the wires and slim box suspiciously, and nervously took the vibrating white earbuds and placed them in his ears… and looked up in wonder.
"Music!" Hermione smiled. Draco was entranced. He had never heard this type of music before and instantly was intrigued.
He wouldn't take the earbuds out until several hours later. Afterward, they would meet up, more and more frequently, with Hermione bringing delights from the muggle world to introduce Draco to.
That was the start of their romance.
There we go! Please review!
