Chapter 2: The Grangers

"Hi, we're the Grangers, your neighbors and we thought it would be nice to come introduce ourselves, I'm Jane, this is my husband Robert, and our daughter-"

"Hermione," Draco finished.

"Malfoy," Hermione said through the giggling.

"You've met each other?" Robert Granger asked. Once the giggling died down, Hermione remembered the scum she had in front of her and frowned.

"Unfortunately," she said.

"We go to school together," Draco said. His face scrunched up, he hated the fact that he had to act nicely to muggles. Not only because if he didn't he would be sent to Askaban but also because Hermione was of age and he was defenseless if she tried to curse him. Which is something he wouldn't put past her.

"Oh this wonderful Hermione," Jane said. "You can start hanging out with another boy you know instead of that low life-"

"His name is Edward." Hermione said glowering at her mother, who in turn rolled her eyes.

"Yes, whatever," Jane said.

"Please do come in," Draco said through his teeth, though he did think the conversation was heading towards the better end. The Grangers stepped into the house and immediately heard the sobbing coming from the other room.

"Good heavens what's wrong?" Jane asked. Draco sighed and rubbed his tired eyes.

"My mother is very upset about her roast beef." Once again Hermione giggled uncontrollably.

"Hermione," Robert scolded. She immediately stopped.

"Sorry," she apologized before letting out another silent giggle.

"See, she's never cooked a thing in her life, and we just lost all our money and she's very upset she burned dinner. And frankly I'm rather hungry." He answered. Hermione fought back tears of laughter. This was too much, the Malfoys in a muggle neighborhood was funny. The Malfoys living in a muggle neighborhood and having emotional breakdowns was hilarious.

"Oh what a shame," Jane said.

"Hey, we haven't had dinner yet," Robert said. Hermione opened her eyes wide knowing the words that would come next and dreading them terribly. "Why don't you folks come over and we'll barbeque something," he added just as Lucius walked in with a now calm Narcissa.

His piercing grey eyes swept over the muggle family in his home. His first instinct was to throw them out, but he composed himself in time. Hearing his stomach grumble with hunger and their offer, he forced a painful smile on his face.

"Sure, we'll be there in just a minute." he said. Narcissa smiled brightly, Draco groaned. As if he didn't put up with Granger enough in Hogwarts now he had to have dinner with her too?

Hermione tapped furiously on her yard table. As she watched Lucius chatting with her dad over the barbeque, as her father taught him how to use a grill. Narcissa was learning to wash dishes, and prepare barbeque sauce inside from Jane. Draco stood with a plastic cup in the center of the yard inspecting his surroundings. Hermione sighed angrily.

Her parents wouldn't even listen when she tried to tell them, what sort of people the Malfoys were. She had to keep a wary eye, just in case they were up to something. She was thinking about what notorious plot the Malfoy's might be planning when a shadow covered the setting sun from her face.

"So whose Edward?" Malfoy asked with a sneer. Hermione glared.

"Shut up, and leave me alone," Hermione retorted. Draco smiled, he seemed to have hit a nerve.

"I don't know if I should after all what was it your mother said. 'You can start hanging out with another boy you know instead of that low life'" he sneered, Hermione stood up and pointed her wand at Draco's face. He took a step back, fear seem to glint in his eye for only a second but any trace of it was gone as soon as it had come.

Hermione closed her eyes counting to ten as she lowered her wand.

"What are you even doing, living in a muggle neighborhood," she asked. Draco frowned. He reached in his pocked and Hermione stared cautiously, her hand wrapped around her wand. Draco pulled out a piece of parchment and handed it to Hermione. She took it from him and read it twice.

She began to laugh…again. Hysterically, these weren't innocent giggles from before this was LAUGHING. Hermione fell onto her knees before she lay on her back and rolling back and forth laughing. Draco rolled his eyes and took a sip of his orange juice as he waited for her to calm down.

"Oh, you two are already starting to get along," Jane said as she and Narcissa came outside. Hermione stopped laughing, she got up quickly from the grass and stared at her mother.

"I don't think so," she said. Draco smirked.

"On the contrary, I think we're getting along just fine," he said. Maybe this wouldn't be so bad, he could always tease Granger more often, no way she could escape now.

"Oh Hermione, you should take Draco out tonight," Draco smirked at the sight of Hermione face.

"MUM, I have a date-"

"Yes I know with what's-his-face?"

"EDWARD!"

"Yes, but don't you think Draco would enjoy seeing the city at night."

"No, I don't think-"

"I'd love too." Draco put in the middle of the conversation. Narcissa and Lucius stared dumbly at Draco, though their muscles relaxed when they saw his trademark smirk. They knew exactly what Hermione knew, and what Jane and Robert were oblivious to.

Draco would be stirring up trouble.

Draco opened the door and smiled. Hermione stared at him, he was wearing blue jeans and a white polo with small horizontal yellow stripes every now and then. It read Bayside on it. Draco came dangerously close to Hermione. His hair hung loose.

"See something you like?" he asked. Hermione glared at him.

"No," she said curtly. Draco shrugged. He looked her over, she had a denim mini skirt on and a red halter top shirt that tied at her neck and in her middle back, leaving it bare except for that one strip the tied the top together.

"Too bad…I do" Draco teased. Hermione glared at him and continued walking down the driveway. Draco picked up the keys from one of hallway's many furniture settings and closed the door trailing behind Hermione.

When he got to the end of the street he could see a silver car parked. The guy inside seemed to be talking into some sort of machinery he hung up and looked up at Hermione as she stepped into the front seat. He leaned sideways and kissed her lips. Draco couldn't place what it was, but he felt this sort of tingly sensation burning at his cheeks.

He stepped into the backseat and cleared his throat. Hermione broke apart from the guy and glared at Draco. "Is there something wrong, Draco?" she asked in a fake cheerful tone.

"Yes, actually I'd rather not play the third wheel," he said.

"Then leave,"

"You wouldn't want me to tell your mother you sent me away would you, Hermione," he said her first name through his teeth.

"You are so obnoxious,"

"Draco Malfoy, pleasure," Draco introduced. Hermione glared at him before turning to face front and placed her seat belt on.

"Eddie, this is Malfoy. Malfoy, Eddie." she introduced them.

"Dude," Ed said nodding his head in recognition. Draco smirked at him. The guy seemed tall (Draco couldn't tell seeing as Ed was sitting) he had brown hair and brown eyes. Draco leaned back getting ready for the rest of the journey.

Oooo…what do you think will happen when they get to town? Can't tell for now, but if you review quickly I'll post quickly!
