Down on the Farm
Day 4: Packing and Movies
On Tuesday morning, Hermione and Draco both slept late. It was 11 before either of them were up. Hermione woke up first.
'Hmm… what to wear,' she thought. After searching trough all her clothing she picked out what she was going to wear and what she was going to pack. She put on a pink baby-tee that said, "I'm not opinionated, I'm just always right," in blue letters which were shadowed in white. She also put n a pair of short, jean, shorts, and pink flip flops. She then did her hair and make up. She put on light pink eye shadow, mascara, and clear lip gloss. She finished off her look with a straightening charm on her hair, so that it framed her face. She decided to go get he highlights re-touched today.
After getting ready she headed downstairs to eat something.

While Hermione was getting ready so was Draco. He woke up, and took a shower. He loved showers so much. It was a great time to think.
Gods, why can't I stop thinking about her? He asked himself.
Because you like her. His voice answered him.
No I don't, I can't, (Voice 1)
And why ever not? (Voice 2)
Because she doesn't like me. (Voice 1)
How do you know this? (Voice 2)
Uh, because I made her life a living hell the past six years. (Voice 1)
Oh that, (Voice 2)
Yeah that, it's a bit important. (Voice 1)
No it's not. (Voice 2)
Yes it is. (Voice 1)
Why? (Voice 2)
Because if she hates me how is a relationship going to work? (Voice 1)
Oh so you do want to have a relationship with her. (Voice 2)
No I don't! (Voice 1)
Well then why should it matter if she hates you? (Voice 2)
Because you keep saying I like her! (Voice 1)
Yes, you do. (Voice 2)
No I don't! (Voice 1)
Hey you're the one who said you couldn't stop thinking about her. (Voice 2)
What does that have to do with anything! (Voice 1)
It shows that you like her. (Voice 2)
Stop telling me how I feel! (Voice 1)
Hey don't shoot the messenger. (Voice 2)
How are you a messenger? (Voice 1)
I'm the direct connect/messenger between you and your feelings. So it would benefit you to listen to me. (Voice 2)
Yeah right. (Voice 1)
Silence.
Thank God he's gone, Draco thought as he got out of the shower. He wrapped a towel around himself and walked over to his closet.
He pulled out a white tank top and khaki shorts. He then looked in the mirror and decided to just make his hair damp and let it hang in his eyes. After he did his hair he looked in the mirror and decided, 'Good enough,' then headed downstairs.
xXxXxXx
Since Draco gets ready faster than Hermione he got down stairs first. He was eating Frosted Flakes, when he heard footsteps.
"Hey Draco," she said as she walked in.
"Hey Hermione," Draco said as he thought, Damn she looks good. Oh fuck what am I thinking?
"What's up?" Hermione asked grabbing and apple and thinking, Dang he looks good. She shocked herself by thinking this but she knew she couldn't argue with it.
"Nothing really. You?" Draco said.
"Same. Not much to do here," she said gesturing to the room.
"I think it's pretty cool. The Manor's more boring," Draco said.
"Must be horrible only being able to play your favorite sport whenever," Hermione teased.
"Actually I'm only allowed three hours a day. All my other time is spent at business meetings and school work. My father's pissed that I'm second," Draco said.
"My bad," Hermione smiled.
"You know it," Draco said with a smile. "So what are you doing today?" he asked.
"Packing then I'm thinking about going and getting my hair done before we leave," Hermione answered. "What about you?"
"Probably packing then whatever," Draco said.
"Oh okay," Hermione said, then they ate in silence.
xXxXxXx
Draco decided to get online. He needed to talk to someone so he figured sending Blaise an e-mail was the best he could get.
To DirtySlytherin
Hey Man,
How's your summer going? Mine is going way better than expected. You know how I said I wouldn't be getting any girls this summer? Well I might. Granger is so fucking hot, man. Remember how we thought she was hot last year? Well dude, when she wears normal clothes instead of those huge robes it's like, amazing. Wish you were here to see it man but I'm sure you're having more fun without me then you would have with me. Later,
-DM
He pushed send right as Hermione walked in. If she had been 10 seconds earlier she would have seen the e-mail and he would have been screwed, in the bad way. It was one of those times that he knew there was a god.
"Draco? I'm going to get my hair done wanna come with?" Hermione asked.
"Uh," Draco had nothing better to do. "Sure why not?"
xXxXxXx
He soon found out why not. The salon they went to took a frickin' hour to get to! And that wasn't even the worst part. It smelled horrible! He almost fainted as soon as he walked in. Then they had to sit on the most uncomfortable bench he'd ever been on in his life for 20 minutes before Hermione went back.
That was when the boredom set in. He had absolutely nothing to do. For the first 5 minutes he looked around, but after seeing the same fake smile 5 times he decided to do something else. He shut he eyes and started thinking.
Do I really like her, or is it just lust? he asked himself.
You know you like her, said another voice.
Oh not you again, Draco groaned.
Yes it's me now get over it, (Voice 2)
Do you know you really annoy me? (Voice 1)
Yes but if you weren't such an idiot then we wouldn't have this problem' (Voice 2)
Fine I like her! But she doesn't like me so it doesn't matter! (Voice 1 screaming)
I think she likes you more than you know, (Voice 2 fading away)
What!? Oh you little ugh! Draco opened his eyes and saw the receptionist staring at him, not even trying to hide the fact that she was ogling. He glared at her trying to make her look away. When she wouldn't he used Legilimens to find out what she was thinking. While he wasn't very good at it yet, he was able to see that she – like many others before her – had fallen under the blood hair silver eyes spell and just couldn't stop staring. Right then Hermione walked in.
"Hey Drac-," she stopped when she saw Draco staring at the receptionist. Both were snapped out of their trance. What the hell was that? She thought. She didn't realize it (and even if she had she wouldn't have admitted it) but she was very jealous.
"Hey Hermione," he said.
"Hey Draco, I'm done, let's go," Hermione said. She quickly paid and high tailed it out of there.
"Whoa slow down," Draco said grabbing her arm while she was on the sidewalk.
"You weren't going very slow with that receptionist, were you?" she snapped.
"What? Oh that? She was staring at me so I used Legilimens to find out what was wrong with her," he explained.
"And that was?" Hermione asked.
"That she finds me incredibly sexy. Just like everyother human being who is attracted to males."
"Whatever, let's go get lunch."
xXxXxXx
They decided on McDonald's. As Hermione pulled up to the drivethrough window she asked Draco what he wanted.
"Uh…" Draco had never been there so he didn't know.
"You know what? I'll get you what I'm getting," Hermione said.
"'k," Draco said.
Hermione ordered two chicken nugget meals and they were off once more.
xXxXxXx
Once they got home they went their separate ways before dinner and bed. At 9 Hermione knocked on Draco's door.
"Draco?" she said.
"Yeah?" he answered opening the door.
"Wanna watch a movie?" Hermione asked.
"Sure," Draco followed her downstairs. He couldn't help but stare. She was wearing a pair of blue shorts that she had rolled and a white camisole.
Hermione went over to put the movie in then walked over the couch and sat next to Draco.
Wow he looks good! she thought, and he did. His hair was slightly wet and falling in his eyes, He was wearing a white wife beater and baggy black sweat pants.
They settled in and watched Scary Movie 3 and then fell asleep on the couch.
