Chapter two: Man shopping

Hermione sat at the kitchen table the next morning playing with the food in her plate; she was defiantly not hungry, the ferret had made her lose her appetite. This had totally ruined everything. Why did he have to come and stay with her? Of all people?

"Hermione, you better eat. I need you to go out today" Hermione wasn't even paying attention. She drank her juice and pushed her plate away, heading to the stairs and to the bathroom.

Draco rubbed his eyes as he opened his bedroom door, he stepped out and was shocked fully awake now by an annoying (in his opinion) screech.

"Draco Malfoy! Put your bloody shirt on! You're in my house, for god sakes!"

"Granger, the sound of your voice in the morning is enough to give anyone a headache" He winced and covered his ears. Hermione slapped him on the arm and stormed into the bathroom, slamming it behind her.

Draco rubbed his arm and descended the stairs. He sat at the breakfast table and watched as Mrs. Granger ran around the kitchen preparing breakfast and making coffee.

She turned around with a glass of water in hand and jumped from the shock of Malfoy watching her from the table.

"Draco. What can I get you dear?" Draco stared at her, contemplating before answering.

"Uh, I have never actually tried muggle food before" she smiled at him brought him over a plate.

"This here is called scrambled eggs and this is toast" Malfoy picked up a fork began to move the eggs around on the plate. Mrs. Granger went over to the sink and began to clean. Draco took a deep breath ate some of the eggs. not bad. At least I know I wont die now. He ate some of the toast. Muggle food wasn't that bad at all.


Hermione slammed the door shut and turned the shower water on. She swallowed hard trying to get her heart beat back to normal. Stupid Malfoy and his stupid toplessness. After she was done taking a shower and getting dressed she came down the stairs and bounced into he kitchen.

"Hey mum, you remember today I'm going out with Iana" Hermione went to the fridge and took out some more juice. She was totally ignoring the silently eating Malfoy. Maybe if she ignored him, he would disappear somehow.

"Not today Hermione. I need you to take Draco shopping for clothes. Albus made it clear that he needs to blend in, so while me and your father are at work take him and help him out" Hermione almost dropped her juice and Malfoy almost dropped his fork.

"What? Mum, common. He doesn't have to leave the house, he can stay here..."

"The bloody hell I'm not staying in this house all the time, Granger"

"Shut up ferret!"

"Hermione!" Hermione groaned and put the juice in the fridge.

"You know what, fine! I'll get the git clothes. But I swear Malfoy if you give me trouble…" she let the sentence hang in the air and stormed up the stairs to her bedroom. She was just about to close her door when she yelled "And hurry the bloody hell up, I'm not going to wait all day" Draco smirked and got up to take a shower.


Ring, ring

"Hello?"

"Hi Iana, its me"

"Hey Hermione! So what time did you want to come over?" Hermione groaned

"I cant, I have…a family friend staying over and mum is forcing me to spend time with him"

"Oh, ok then. I'll see you soon hun, bye"

"Bye" Hermione reluctantly hung up the phone. She grabbed her blazer and bag; she headed over to Malfoy's door and knocked on it harsher than she should have.

"Hurry up Malfoy" she banged on it until the door was ripped open and Hermione had to stand back.

"Keep your knickers on Granger" Malfoy growled. He closed the door and made his way down the stairs. Hermione grabbed her keys and headed out the door. Malfoy followed her in fascination, he had never seen those things she was holding.

Hermione walked over to her car and beeped it open. She got in the drivers side and was just about to put her seat belt on when she saw Malfoy standing in front with a blank expression. Hermione rolled her eyes.

"It's a car Malfoy, its not going to bite your arse" Hermione slammed her door shut and Malfoy got in the passenger seat.

"Right, put your seat belt on" Malfoy looked around the car trying to figure out what she was talking about. Again she rolled her eyes and reached over across him, pulled the seat belt and buckled him in. Draco stiffened and looked at her in disgust.

"Now , we are going to go get you some clothes. And you are going to listen to me, I don't want you bitching every five seconds"

"Ganger, I do not bitch; I am no girl"

"Could have fooled me" Hermione started the engine and backed out the drive way.

Malfoy was busy staring around the car, doing his best trying to ignore Hermione as much as he could. Suddenly his curiosity got the best of him and he reached forward and turned a button. Load music blasted trough the car startling both the teens. Malfoy covered his ears and started yelling loader than necessary.

"What the bloody hell is this crap? Turn it off!"

"Well maybe if you didn't touch things you don't know what they are Malfoy, it wouldn't happen" Hermione turned off the radio and turned back to him. she was curious. He was looking out the window now trying to ignore her.

"I would never have expected you of all people Malfoy to be joining the order. Why did you do it?" Malfoy snapped his head towards her, a sneer on his face.

"It's none of your damn business, Granger" he snapped

"Malfoy, I hardly call you in my house non of my business"

"Don't you ever shut up? I said it was none of your business, so leave me alone. Its bad enough that I have to now spend every bloody day seeing you" Hermione pursed her lips.

"You are the biggest jerk I have ever come across you know that? ugh, I cant believe this is happening. I hate you, never forget that and once you can, your out" She was in the parking lot now and found a spot.

"Don't worry, Mudblood. The feelings mutual" he opened the door and tried to get out, but the seat belt pulled him back, sending him into the seat. He growled in frustration and began to pull at the belt. Hermione who was trying hard not to laugh, finally reached over and pressed the button down. Malfoy got out of the car, slammed the door shut and started heading down the sidewalk.

"Your going the wrong bloody way ferret" Draco turned and found Hermione looking at him with her arms crossed. He began to walk towards her and knocked his shoulder with her as he past. Hermione shook her head and headed after him.

"Hey there, what can I help you with?" a blond girl asked as Hermione and Draco came into the store.

"We need to find him some clothes," she motioned to Malfoy, who was looking around the store with a blank expression. He turned to the sales assistant and smirked at her, she blushed and batted her eye lids; Hermione rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Well we have plenty in season now…you have the most gorgeous eyes, has anyone ever told you that?" Hermione just about gagged as Malfoy shot the girl his most winning smile.

"I have been told that before, but never from a hottie like yourself" he said in a voice Hermione had never heard him use.

"Gag me," Hermione muttered under her breath. The girl led them to various items and placed them all into Hermione's hands as they went. The sales assistant and Malfoy were flirting like crazy, not paying attention to Hermione who was almost falling over with the pile of clothing that was building up.

"If you need any help with anything, just call me" she winked at Draco and he grinned. Hermione was not watching where she was going and bumped right into him sending all the clothes onto the floor.

"Good one, Mudblood," Hermione blew a piece of hair out of her face and glared at him.

"You should be carrying around your clothes Malfoy, not flirting with bimbos like that" she motioned to the girl who was now behind the counter adjusting her top. Malfoy smirked down and Hermione.

"Jealous?"

"As if! Now hurry the fuck up and try on these clothes, I don't have all bloody day"

After half an hour Malfoy had still not emerged from the stall, Hermione was starting to get quite annoyed and got up banging on the door.

"Malfoy! What the hell are you doing in there?"

"Playing chess. What the hell do you think I'm doing? Trying to figure this stupid…piece or crap thing…" Malfoy was having a silent tantrum trying to work out how to do the zip and button on his pants.

He suddenly opened the door and stalked out only in the pants.

"How the hell do you work this stupid thing out?" Hermione sighed and stood up to help him when the bimbo rushed past almost knocking her over.

"I'll help you," she reached forward and ran her hands along the hem of his pants, touching his skin as she did up his pants. Hermione looked disgusted while Malfoy had a wicked grin on his face.

"Ok, I think he knows how to do up his pants now," but the bimbo completely ignored her.

"So, can I give you my number and you can call…" Hermione was getting really annoyed with the whole display; a evil grin spread across her face and she slid up to Draco's side. She placed one hand on his backside and ran her other hand down his chest. He stared down at her in shock and disgust; he was about to throw her off when she ran her hand to the top of his pants and addressed only him as if the blonde wasn't standing in front of them. She looked up at him through her eye lashes and spoke in a low voice that surprised even her.

"Draco, you better put your clothes back on right now or I might not be able to control myself. I'm getting rather…hot…just watching you standing here topless," she leaned up closer to his ear "I just want to throw you down and do wicked little things to your body" Malfoy's mouth dropped in shock at the words coming from her mouth. The girl standing in front of them pursed her lips, went red and turned away. When Hermione thought it was safe, she pulled herself away and began to laugh hysterically.

"That's not fucking funny, Granger. Don't you ever touch me or do anything like that again" he growled. He turned back around and slammed the stall door shut.

"Awww, poor wittle Malfoy is not going to get a lay now" she said through the door, giggling.

"Shut the fuck up. You're just jealous that I can get just about anyone and you cant even get the fucking Weasel" He snapped. Hermione glared hard at the door.

"You don't know what your talking about Malfoy, hurry up or I'll leave you behind" Draco smirked, he could tell that she was close to losing it.


"Its called ice-cream Malfoy its not going to kill you"

"I don't like the look of it"

"Just try it"

"No"

"Try it!"

"NO!"

"You are so impossible"

Hermione held two cups of ice cream in her hands. One was peppermint and the other chocolate. Malfoy stood before her, his arms crossed against his chest. Being stubborn was one of his specialties.

"Malfoy, just try the friggin ice cream" she shoved the cup into his hands.

"I said no!"

"Malfoy, I swear I will shove it down your throat if you don't try it"

"Granger, if you dare even try to touch me, I will not be held responsible for the hacking of your hands"

"You know what? Fine! Its been one day and you're already driving me fucking crazy!" she stormed off towards the exit doors and did not look back. Malfoy stood there for a second and looked at the ice cream. In reality it didn't even look that bad. He took a big scoop full and ate it quickly.

"ARGH! My brain hurts," he held his hand to his forehead, wincing at the pain.
