Down on the Farm

Day 6: There at Last

All night Draco was aware of Hermione's tossing and turning. He wanted to ask her what was wrong, but that might make her think he cared. Which he did, wait, he said he doesn't, (he so does.) Well either way she didn't need to think that. Whatever was bothering Hermione kept them both from getting a good night's sleep, or even a decent one.

"Morning," Hermione said, crawling out of bed. THUMP! "Owww," Hermione had fallen out of the bed.

"Does that happen everyday?" Draco asked with a smirk.

"No and for that comment I get bathroom first," Hermione said grabbing some clothes and running towards the bathroom. She just barely beat Draco there, and they just stood there, Hermione in the bathroom and Draco just outside it, and they locked eyes. Until suddenly Hermione slammed the door in Draco's face.

"Oh gods, I like him!" Hermione said to herself.

Took you long enough, her voice answered

I can't like him! (Voice 1)

Why not? (Voice 2

Remember what happened last time?(Voice 1)

Not all guys are like that, (Voice 2)

He was, so how do I know who to trust now? (Voice 1)

You don't but you can't just keep everyone out all the time! (Voice 2

I need to take a shower before Draco wonders what I'm doing in here, (Voice 1)

Whatever, (Voice 2 fades away)

What Hermione didn't know was that Draco was having thoughts too, though not of the same nature…

xXxXxXx

What was that? Draco wondered to himself as he walked over and sat down on the bed.

Well ::cough::idiot::cough::, she obviously likes you, another voice answered.

Two questions, what are you on? And can I have some? (Voice 1)

Two answers, nothing, and even if I was I wouldn't give you any because you would have already had some since I am you, (Voice 2)

That was confusing, but seriously she can't like me, (Voice 1)

'Why not?' (Voice 2)

Because we don't trust each other, (Voice 1)

Well give her a reason to trust you, and she might give you a reason to trust her, (Voice 2)

You know what? That's the only good idea you've ever had, (Voice 1)

No, no, no, it's just the only one you're small brain ever understood, (Voice 2)

Well if you're me then wouldn't we have the same brain? (Voice 1)

Hey! Only I get to pull the confusing card, (Voice 2)

Whatever loser, (Voice 1)

If I'm a loser then that makes you a loser because we both are the same person. And by calling me a loser you're calling yourself a loser which makes you slightly insane. Just insane enough to be in love with a girl you've picked on for years. Wow that's a great coincidence because you are in love with a girl that you've picked on for years. (Voice 2)

I do not love her, (Voice 1)

Whatever, (Voice 2)

Shut up, Draco thought as he turned on the T.V. (Hermione had taught him how to use it.) Some movie that was so stupid it was funny was on -- Napoleon Dynamite. Draco soon found himself laughing.

"Um… Draco?" Hermione asked.

"Yeah, what?" Draco answered.

"You need to get in the shower," Hermione said.

Draco looked up to respond but the sight of Hermione left him speechless. "Uh, yeah sure, right after this movie," Draco answered still looking at Hermione's outfit. She was wearing a loose, white, button down shirt that had the first two buttons and the bottom three buttons undone with the loose ends tied up so you could see her flat stomach and belly button ring. Today she had on a blue dangly dragon fly dangling over her belly button that matched her earrings, and a pair of Silvers.

"'Kay but we're leaving in 30 minutes," Hermione answered. "Oh and do I look okay? I think I should change," she added.

"You look great," Draco answered. In about 5 minutes the movie ended and Draco got into the shower.

Hermione quickly added minimal make up and Draco got out of the shower wearing slightly baggy jeans, a white wife beater, and a blue button down shirt opened over it. The beater was tight and you could see his washboard abs. Lucky Hermione.

"Am I presentable?" Draco asked, with a trademark Malfoy smirk.

"You'll do," Hermione answered. Damn he's hot! Oh shit, I really need to stop thinking like this.

They quickly packed and got into the car they had rented. Lindsay Lohan's Disconnected was playing and Hermione closed her eyes and sang along. Draco was driving and couldn't help but think about great of a singer Hermione was.

"Broken up again," Hermione sang. "And I'm only not lonely when I'm lonely by myself, Disconnected, now the pain again, I always backtrack forwards, cuz all in all I'm disconnected," the way Hermione sang it made Draco think that maybe this song was real for her. Who knows maybe it was.

Next 50 Cent's Jus A Lil Bit came on.

Damn baby all I need is a lil bit
A lil bit of this, a lil bit of that
Get it crackin' in the club when you hear this shit
Drop it like its hot, get to workin' that back
Go shake that thang, yeah work that thang
Let me see it go up and down
Rotate that thang, I wanna touch that thang
Can you make it go round and round

Draco knew this song so he and Hermione sang along. Soon they were at the airport. They got out and were eventually on the plane.

Hermione pulled out a book and Draco out his headphones on his iPod in his ears and started listening to Eminem.

The way you shake it, I can't believe it
I ain't never seen an ass like that
The way you move it, you make my pee pee go
Dadoing, doing, doing

"Sir I'm going to have to ask you to turn off any electronics until after take off," a flight attendant told Draco.

"What? Says who?" Draco asked angrily. That lack of sleep was getting to him.

"The captain, Sir if you refuse I will be forced to confiscate it," the flight attendant threatened.

"Draco just turn it off," Hermione said.

"Fine," Draco turned off the iPod and the flight attendant moved on.

"Give me the iPod," Hermione held out her hand.

"Why?" Draco whined.

"Because you are going to turn it back on, you can have it back after take off," Hermione answered.

5 Minutes Later:

"I'm bored," Draco sighed.

"Get over it," Hermione answered, Draco started reading over her shoulder. "Stop it," Hermione said.

"Stop what?" Draco asked.

"That!" Hermione said.

"I still don't know what I'm doing," Draco protested innocently.

"Stop reading over my shoulder my dearest Draco," Hermione said in a sickly sweet voice.

"Of course my fair Hermione," Draco said.

15 Minutes Later:

"I'm still bored," Draco whined,

"I don't care," Hermione answered.

"Isn't there anything to do?" Draco asked. Hermione threw a book at him.

"Read," she said, "If you know how," she muttered. Draco heard her.

"What was that?" he asked.

"Nothing," Hermione answered. Before Draco could retort the announcement that said you could use electronics came on.

Draco started bouncing up and down in his seat. "That means you have to give me back my iPod!"

"Here, now stop acting like you're 5," Hermione said handing him his iPod.

The rest of the plane ride was uneventful because when he had to turn off his iPod, he was asleep, so Hermione just took it and turned it off.

xXxXxXx

They had arrived in Detroit. Hermione and Draco walked through the streets of Detroit, they had decided to explore a bit before going into Andi's city.

The guys (hoboes, druggies,) on the street were giving Hermione looks, so Draco put his arm around her waist and whispered into her ear, "Play along." Hermione nodded.

"Let's go get a car," she said quietly. They walked in that direction and were soon there.

xXxXxXx

Once in the car Hermione said "So tell me Draco why did you do that?.

"Those guys were giving you weird looks. I was protecting you," Draco answered.

"Oh okay, thanks," Hermione answered. I mean why! She screamed at him in her head.

Because he likes you as much as you like him her voice answered.

Well that's not enough to want to protect me, (Voice 1)

You need to start checking your emotions better because you like him a lot, (Voice 2)

Whatever, (Voice 1)

The rest of the ride was spent listening to music. They were soon at the hotel.

xXxXxXx

"Two beds and a big room, much better," Hermione said. She pulled out her cell and started dialing.

"Who're you calling?" Draco asked.

"Andi," Hermione answered. "Hello, is Andi there?"

"One sec," said a girl's voice, "here she is."

"Hey," Andi's voice came through the phone.

"Hey, it's Hermione."

"Oh hey Mya!"

"I take it your family hasn't left yet."

"Yeah they're leaving tomorrow, why?"

"We're sitting in a hotel right now."

"Well I'd come over but my parents won't let me out of the house, something about bonding before they leave. It's a load of crap if you ask me, So call me tomorrow, 'kay?"

"'Kay," Hermione answered.

Hermione and Draco just chilled and watched I Robot for a few hours. Then they went to sleep early because they both were extremely tired.

xXxXxXx

A/N: I think that is going to be the average length from now on. More stuff happened in this chapter and I really like it. I hope you do too but I won't know unless you review.

Review Please.
