Chapter 6
Hermione stomped up towards the direction of the house with Malfoy not far behind, muttering and sulking.
Hermione huffed once at the house and knocked on the door, hard. No answer. She knocked again. Still, nothing.
Malfoy came up behind her and tugged on the handle.
"Alohomora." He muttered and stepped into the cottage.
Hermione grabbed his arm with a horrified look on her face at his unlocking of the door.
"You can't do that!" She insisted. "You cannot just unlock somebody's door without permission! Not only that but you then just walked in, un-invited. That's not okay."
"You can't talk." Malfoy snapped and elaborated at the confused look on the Gryffindor's face. "You just walked in on the magic world when it has been going on for centuries by the purebloods, uninvited. We always kept ourselves to ourselves and never meddled with the Muggles. Then they started having Muggle-borns and putting the entire Wizarding community in danger for the possibility of accidentally telling somebody about our world! Don't forget that the Muggles used to try and kill us magic folk and we never did anything to them! They ruined hundreds of years of sacred traditions and practices by coming along so don't give me the whole, 'you are unwanted' act because otherwise you are just a hypocrite."
Hermione stood still, stunned. Malfoy smirked at this response and wrenched away from her firm grasp and into the house.
Hermione was fuming. What right did he have to bring her blood into this? His arguments made sense now that he put it that way but he needn't hold it against her and argue about it constantly, bringing it into any disagreement they had.
"What are you doing?" Hermione asked sternly as she walked halfway through the door to see Malfoy bending over one of the tables.
"Leaving a note that we've been here and they should expect us back." Malfoy said and straightened up, discarding the pen he's been using aside and leaving the paper on the table.
Hermione didn't trust Malfoy to be polite in the note so stepped fully in to check it. She read:
Sorry to intrude earlier today but a classmate and I are lost and have nowhere to stay. This is the only house for a while around so we thought perhaps you could offer us a bed to stay the night in? We will most probably be back later on today to see if we may stay so look out for two teenagers in a few hours. One rather tall male with blond hair and one short female with bushy brown hair. Thank you.
Hermione nodded her approval and then turned on the boy to see that the door was closed and he was struggling with it.
"It won't open." Malfoy complained and cast a few spells at the door but it wouldn't budge. "It just closed behind you."
Hermione rolled her eyes and reluctantly walked over to help Malfoy casting spells at the door but as he had said, it was still and unmoving.
"Perhaps there is a back door?" Hermione suggested lamely.
"Oh, wow. Real clever, Granger." Malfoy fake clapped. "Want a medal for that? If the front door is locked then why would the back door be open? I thought you were supposed to be the clever one."
"Just a suggestion." Hermione mumbled before realising Malfoy had called her clever.
She stopped and glanced at Malfoy, shock clear on her face but he wasn't looking at her. He hadn't seemed to notice himself saying she was the clever one.
Hermione decided to shrug it off for now until the time called for her to use it against him and walked around the back in search for a back door or an open window.
The words were still clear in Hermione's mind quarter of an hour later when she had given up with all the doors and windows in the house.
I thought you were supposed to be the clever one.
